"'Halo 3' and 'Bioshock' are not 'Next-Gen'" says unproven developer.

"I loved the 1930s-1950s atmosphere of BioShock: the lovely Art Deco visuals and the audio that worked especially well," Braben told us. "Overall the whole game was beautifully executed, but the gameplay itself was not 'next-gen'."

"I found Halo 3 great fun, too, but also a little disappointing - as although there were a few nice touches and improved graphical fidelity, it hadn't really moved on much from Halo 2 in terms of the gameplay.

"So to answer your question, if anything I am reassured; I think Outsider more than stands up to them, and I still think Outsider will be one of the first 'next-gen' games," he added.

There you have it. "The Outsider" is both a "Halo 3" and "Bioshock" killer.

Two years after the fact, you'd think the "Next-Gen" buzzword was finally laid to rest. Still, it's great how these idiots never quantify their term, or even seem to prove themselves.

Screw awful marketting... just give me a good game. I don't care if some nobody says it's "last-gen" or whatever.

Bioshock never claimed to be next-gen in terms of gameplay, it was the fact that the story was entirely integrated into the action of the game. The makers even said that it was a shooter at it's core.

"Development on the title (The Outsider) is going "very well, thanks", although no platforms, dates, or details have been heard about for the past two years."

I guess his meaning of next gen is if one of Gammys girls jumps out of the screen and virtually blows you.

 

[TheBat812]

I think he's completely right. Those games were not next gen. I mean, they were good, but not next-gen. Whether or not his game is, I have no idea, but it's certainly good that they realize they need to push development harder and further to really be innovative.

So what, to you, is a "next-gen" game?

Wow, where the hell in that little blurb you posted did the guy say that The Outsider is going to be a Halo 3 / Bioshock killer? He didn't. He said in terms of next-gen gaming it's going to be better. Theres a big difference. For example, FFIII(VI) was an amazing game, and when FFVII came out, it blew that game out of the water in terms of "next-gen gaming", but the game itself wasn't exactly better.

Amazing graphics is "next-gen" for me, s***.

You're incredibly dense. Are you a woman, or just a social ******?

 

[Jerry!]

****, I've been put on probation for less than that, you might want to watch it.

 

[SouLeSS]

Oh I'm sorry. Specifically point out in that little blurb where it says that The Outlsider will be a Halo 3 / Bioshock killer.

Oh wait, it doesn't. This is just something else you're making up, just like more people bought Halo 2 / 3 for the single player campaign as opposed to playing the multiplayer, and that the Live people are the only ones that count.

 

[cookiva]

Dude, he compared Bioshock and Halo 3 to his game, and said it would be a more "next gen game". Pretty sure he is trying to hype something similar. If he was talking about Oblivion or Two Worlds and said that they arent next gen like his game, its probably an RPG. Crackdown and Saints row, probably a sandbox shooter.

Sometimes you really are just trying to push other people, Souless. I know WHF said some crazy crap, but of course he is trying to bash every other shooter that is "next gen" to him.

Also, I bought Halo 3 for only the single player. I rarely play online, and I love coop with my friends. So maybe you should just think about things before you type the idiotic statements you sometimes do.

[cookiva]

Sorry, but you know what I meant by that. Kind of grasping at straws there, man.

You keep saying people buy it for live mp.

 

[블라스]

Soul guy: when you play co-op, you're doing the single player campaign.
I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

 

[cookiva]

Dont worry. To him, if you play single player, and another person walks in the room, its automatically multiplayer.

 

[SouLeSS]

No, I'm not. Can't you ****ing read? I'm saying people buy it for the MULTIPLAYER. Not specifically the Live Multiplayer that you all seem to be so stuck on. There are things such as lans. I figured on a site that was based around comics, that has a pretty decent video game section would be able to grasp what a LAN gaming party is. Guess I was wrong.

 

[SouLeSS]

No, but if said other person picks up some sticks and joins in, the game goes. Wait for it. Wait for it. From single player to. Wait for it. MULTIPLAYER.

Wow, such a hard concept huh? Who'd of thought that even if you're playing a campaign, having multiple people playing would make it multiplayer.

This is probably the best time to mention that:

Spoiler

MY DAD HATES THE RED SOX!!!

Sorry

 

[cookiva]

Its all good. I have alot of friends who hate the Red Sox. I just know that we beat every other team so far, basically. Show it on the field.


Souless, one mistake (which isnt even one) and you go all pissy? Damn, glad you are not my boss.

 

[SouLeSS]

I'm not pissy. I'm a jackass, and have been all my life. I'll refute points back and forth civially, but for the most part, I enjoy pointing out how incredibly stupid some people are, and how some of the things they say contridict themselves over and over again.

I'm just amazed that people react so defensivly when you bring up one little thing negative about Halo. It's like they think I killed their whole family or something.

 

[cookiva]

No, its not that. Its that you point out faults in the game, get people riled up, then claim you like the game. That makes no sense.

 

[SouLeSS]

So I either have to blindly love a game and see absolutly no flaws in it, or I have to hate it entierely and everything about it?

Yeah, because that makes sense.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Maybe I'm missing something, but if an original game comes out for either the 360, the Ps3 or the Wii, its automatically a "next-gen" game, end of argument, everyone can go home now.

And arent we past the "nextgen" term now? When does "next gen" become now?

 

[SouLeSS]

Next-Gen is a term that's thrown around that implies the game is at a higher standard than previous games, not only visually, but gameplay mechanicly wise.

Personally, I don't agree with the guy when he says Bioshock isn't truely Next-Gen, and I'm back and forth when he says Halo 3 isn't, as it pretty much just is a prettier Halo 2, but then it has that amazing reply/movie/screenshot feature to it.
