I am one the people who is really excited about the newer consoles and newer powerful video cards coming out. However with the advent of these new hardware, the expectation of public in terms of the graphical capability has risen to an unreasonable level. Due to this, the game developers are nowadays investing more and more time towards the graphics rather then the other parts of the game. This has come to my notice with the latest games like Max Payne, Star Wars:Rogue Leader, Pikmin, Luigis Mansion, Metal Gear Solid 2, etc. Although I belive that these games "look" amazing, I believe that these games are very short having about 10-15 hrs of gameplay. This is a major disappointment to me as it pains for me to invest $50 on a game that last only for 10 Hrs but looks absolutely stunning.
I still remember playing Super Mario 64 and Zelda
carina of time for a very very long time before I could complete these games. These games were pretty looking, though not comparable to the games for this generation of consoles, but more importantly they were fun and were long and did not comprise of just repeating the same things over and over again to increase the gameplay time. They did have a large variety of tasks that made the game fun and challenging without ever feeling monotonous and boring.
I would rather see such games more than games like the ones coming out for the present generation. I am sure that I am not the only one wishing this. Also I understand that in a perfect world we would have better graphics and better gameplay, but this would make the cost and the time to create such game unbearable. This lean towards graphics has also made independent game developers to have almost no hope of creating a successful game. This deprives the world of many brilliant games only due to they not looking absolutely like a movie.
Thanks for listening to my rather long but I believe relevant complaints about the status of todays games.
