I tried looking for a thread on next-gen vs. current gen gaming on here but here I go. I am perfectly satisfied with the current gen and collect for the current gen. There are so many reasons why the next-gen has completely turned me off. I am not going to criticize anyone for wanting to go next-gen. That is the evolution of things.
I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 and right now, I am stopping at ps2. Why? There are so many games that I haven't tapped into and want to. I think those who collect classic and current gen games and systems have it right. There are 1000's of games that haven't been enjoyed or played by many people. I just feel that with all the microtransactions of Xbox Live and the nickle and diming of the next-gen, money is better spent on what I have. How many of you out there feel that way.
When I go to the game store or a retail store, there is no next-gen game as of yet that has compelled me to drop my hard earned money on it. I am sure in a few years, that will change and the next gen becomes the current gen. I just think the benefit of the next gen comes in a few years after PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii have established themselves in the industry.
But for now, current gen, for me, is perfectly fine.
 
There is so much content that is available on past systems that I think more people may take that same point of view. I don't see myself buying as much in the future just because I have so many unplayed games now.

The portable market is more interesting to me at the moment because the technology is evolving, and the type of games for portables tend to be unique to what you can find on regular consoles.
 
i have to agree with you. the price for next gen console is still too high and theres still nothign that either fo them has to offer that for me is worth running out and paying high prices to get those games. and now that ign wrote that the ps3 wont be region free on ps2 and 1 games im definelty going to wait.

theres a ton of games on the ps2 im looking foward to collecting as the prices for those games go down due to the ps3 coming out and that library of games alone is big enough to hold me off for a year or so. that way should anymore bugs show up in the new systems and if they decide to release newer versions of those consoles i can get one of those.

i figure ill get zelda for the gamecube and collect a couple of that systems titles that ive always wanted and then go to the ps2 and stock up. itll be interesting to see what happens with each of the newer systems once they begin to hit their stride but ive been bitten twice by jumping into buying a system as soon sas it comes out so theres no rush this time around. thats a definite benefit to coming to cheap ass gamer with all the great deals you find on cheap games why waste the money on an expensive console.

the only new system i am close to getting is a nintendo DS that one seems like it could be worth the investment.

so far of the 2 handhelds its got the best games not to mention being backwards compatible with the older nintendo handheld games. the gba has an awesome library of games id love to own i just hope nintendo doesnt come out with any other DS versions i hate when they do that.
 
the wii is the only "next gen" system that has much interest for me, but otherwise i'm in the exact same boat as you. $60 for a game, few bucks here and there afterward for content that should have been in the game to begin with, shitty collector's editions that aren't worth the discs they're printed on...it just doesn't appeal to me.

i actually do support releasing extra content for games, but it's getting to the point that developers haven't even finished games and they're already talking about the extra (premium) content they're working on to release at cost after the game has shipped. it doesn't sit right with me having companies, knowing they're charging 60 bucks for a game, creating "extra" content during the actual development cycle of the retail build game. gta 4 comes to mind, where they aren't even finished developing the game and they're already working on two additional content packs.

even if it's providing numerous hours of additional playtime, i'm not sure how they justify not including those in the finished game in the first place. people paying for it essentially tells the company they're allowed to released gimped versions of games, since people are willing to pay even more to get the "complete" version later on.

i'm just too cheap for this "next gen."
 
I'm with you on this one. I might buy the new systems after price drops and when an affordable library of quality games is available. I love the current gen games and I have enough RPGs in my backlog to last me until the next holiday season and beyond.
 
I just picked up the DS Lite when EB had that decent trade in deal for the SP. My wife and daughter play that more than they play the Gamecube now and I like the fact that the games aren't any more than $35. I'm happy playing PSP, PS2, and Xbox.

I couldn't agree more. I've been thinking the same things myself whenever I hear developers talking about working on that extra content for still unreleased games- if you're working on it now, why aren't you just putting it on the disc that you'll be charging 60 bucks for? The whole microtransactions thing scares me a little, because I can picture it evolving to the point where every game is sold one level or one character at a time, even at it's initial release. And people will be outraged at first, but gradually that outrage subsides and people get used to paying (a buck or two at a time) $100 or more for what they used to get for $50-60. I remember how pissed I was the first time I saw commercials in a movie theatre. I thought there would be a big outcry and they'd go away. Now, it's just part of the movie-going experience.

To get back to the threads actual topic, I'll be holding off on the next-gen for a while myself. There have been a few games that have peaked my interest, but nothing that would justify (for me) spending $500 or more for a new system and some games. Plus, thanks to the deals on this site, I have a mountain of games still waiting to be played for my PS2, and at the snail-like pace that I play games, they could easily hold me for several years. This doesn't stop me from entering every contest I see that's giving away a 360 or Wii or PS3, but for now, winning a contest is the only way I see next-gen making it into my living room, and I have no problem with that.
 
Having finally picked up a PS2 just a little over a month ago, I'm very content with current gen gaming. I have six years of great games to catch up on, and very few of those games are more than $40 now. (CAG has only encouraged my miserly ways.)

I do think I will be venturing into the next gen at some point in 2007, though, probably with the Wii and possibly the DS Lite. I really miss having a portable system and like what I've seen of the DS. With all the money I've saved thanks to this site, it's now much more financially feasible for me to support three or four systems. (The real question is, do I have the time to play that many games?!?)
 
I'm more than happy with my Xbox 360... imo it completely blows away last gen because it dosen't have the limitations that things like the Playstation 2 does.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my PS2, but the future of gaming imo is an amazing amazing thing... I'd rather take Saints Row and Gears of War over 95% of the stuff released last gen.

Someone once told me there is only 25 - 50 games released for each system that are actually worth playing, and I believe that person is right, and I think other than 1 or 2 exceptions I've played those 25 - 50 games per system.

And btw, to the OP, the next gen will become the current gen November 19th when both the PS3 and Wii have hit, and the big 3 all have their new systems out. Like that Xbox 360 commercial says, the next gen is now.
 
I am getting a Wii, but I consider it to be an extension of the current-gen and I have absolutely no problem with that. With the 360 and PS3, I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. I plan on having a Wii and a DS Lite in the next couple of months. Those 2 consoles along with unplayed games on my xbox and ps2 are just fine for me.

In the future I know that I will get a 360 because its cheaper than the PS3 and at some point there will be games that I feel are "must-haves" for it. As for right now, all of my must-haves are in the Nintendo camp. There are 7 Wii games that I am excited for, but the only game that has my interest on 360 or PS3 is RS Vegas. I'm sure that GoW and Resistance are phenomenal technical feats, but the gameplay from what I have seen just doesn't interest me.
 
I agree the next gen will become the current gen starting next week. I guess you could say it will be last gen. If that is the case, then I am talking last gen- PS2, GC, and Xbox.
I am glad that people are happy with the 360, PS3, and Wii. It is always exciting when something new comes out, but you can't disagree the trends of microtransactions to get a complete game is becoming a nasty trend.
I have many friends who are gamers and do have the 360 saying the microtransactions stuff is what was "last-gen's unlockables", which were built into the game. It bothers them somewhat. If that is ok with you and that is your cup of tea, great. Not for me, however.
I am glad there is also posters who agree that this last-gen was worthy of sticking out for awhile or for the next few years.
IMO, the next-gen becomes the current gen when it reaches to where the system is bought by the casual gamer and less by the hardcore gamer.
Remember, it is all about gaming in the end and what appeals to you the most.
 
Right now I'm interested in Nintendo DS games and current gen . Though I am leaning to getting a Wii, I just will not get one right away. The only game I'm actually looking forward to is Smash Brawl, but that's a long ways off, and I think I can wait and ignore all the hyping up of the next gen systems until then. I dunno, bowling and boxing with a remote just doesn't do it for me... Neither do ultra tactical shooters... I'm a little too gun-ho for all that.
 
I agree with all of you guys. I am perfectly happy with my current Xbox and fairly recently, I picked up a Nintendo DS.

I actually want to get a nice HDTV first and some furniture before I buy a new console. I can't afford all of that at the same time.
 
I'm surprised so many people are content with the current generation...I thought I might be alone in that. I'm not exactly anti-next gen but I'm not that wowed with it either. I am picking up a Wii for a few reasons: I'm not forced into buying an HDTV to enjoy the games, the price is right, and it might be something different (I've yet to play it so who knows). I don't really agree with Microsoft and Sony pushing HD as "the next-gen" because when it boils down to it....its a sharper picture.

I have a backlog (and it is shrinking) that's big enough to last me awhile. I am also trying to buy fewer games at this point. The truth is I just don't have the time to play everything I want to.

The funny thing about this next-gen is that the old-gen games are becoming a part of it via downloadable games. What's old is new again.

I'm sure once RE5 and MGS4 I might be singing a different tune but for now its current gen plus a Wii.

exactly how i feel. My 360 is just so different from last gen that it makes me never want to play those systems again.

Xbox live and the way everything is interconnected, how you can go to the dashboard at anytime, how you can chat with a live friend while playing a single player game. That is what sets my 360 far apart from something like my ps2. Sure my ps2 was free to play online, but i also had to remember my user name and password and log on to a different server for every game i played.

Also achievements, as dumb as it may be to get them just to look cool, it does give you a reason to play through a game. For instance i played through Career mode in fight night 3 and now i have my achievments to show for it. If this was fight night 3 for ps2 i wouldnt play a career mode when there are other games to be played...would have been a shame too because i had a blast doing it.

Then again i wasnt impressed by last gen and stopped regularly buying games for all 3 consoles once the DS/PSP came out.

You're acting like this is every single game... it's not. Only EA has taken what used to be unlockables and made them micro transactions, mostly everything else on the marketplace for other games is extra content, and it's pretty cheap for the most part (like $1 or so).
 
In my opinion, the PS2 still has more than a little life left in it. There's still gonna be a handful of quality RPG's coming to it in 2007, what with Rogue Galaxy, Dawn of Mana, Ar Tonelico, and the new Shining Force game.

and of course for action game fans, there's the (hopefully) mighty god of war 2.
 
With me because I play so many games I was forced to go to the next generation to get anything new. I've played hundreds of games this generation (possibly more than a thousand) and there is barely anything worthwhile coming out. I don't have a backlog of games to play, so to get more great games I had to get an Xbox 360.

EDIT:Just to give an idea of how many games I've played. I count 448 games on Xbox alone (my most played system).
 
My backlog was enormous too. I had games that I bought just because they were cheap, games in genres I didn't care about, and games that I wanted to play, but didn't. And I wanted a Wii.

I debated going the realm of the OP, or to sell of the extraneous stuff. I did the latter and couldn't be happier. I've kept all of the games that I wanted to replay but sold everything else off. I've promised myself not to buy games just to buy them anymore, and in this way avoid the backlog buildup that I've had in the past.

But I agree, there are more good games released from the start of the industry till the current (last?) gen than I could play the rest of my life. I'm just a sucker for shiny and new. ;)

You and me both!

Selling off my backlog paid for my new tv, my 360, and every game I've bought since the early Summer of this year ;)

Sad part is I still have games left to sell :lol:
 
Next generation is just so expensive.

The only next gen system I own, or plan to own, is the PSP.

Although, I might break down if there is a new Ridge Racer, Resident Evil, Katamari Damacy, and Fatal Frame, all on the same system.

Otherwise, no deal.
 
Check out GameTrailer's Bonus Round. Its a 3-part discussion on next-gen, development budgets, creativity, blu-ray, and the PS3. The three guys in the discussion are a co-founder of Naughty Dog, someone from Wedbush Morgan Securities, and the founder of Call of Duty.
 
Well I'm also just staying with the PS2 unless I Win some console or something. Even then I'll buy just 1 or 2 new games for that console a year, since I'm sick of spending 60 bucks a game. I never had a PS2 in this gen, so I'm playing all the games now for much cheaper...and its reallllly fun =D
 
I feel the same was as a lot of people in this thread. I don't want to spend hundreds on a new console and $50 - $60 for a game. There seems to be clearance after clearance for current gen games so there is never a shortage of anything to play. Plus, a lot of games for next gen systems are out for the current gen systems as well (sports games, Tony Hawk etc.) plus some games I am interested in are current gen only like Thrillville, it's only for PS2, XBox and PSP.
 
I too am still very happy with current gen stuff. I have so many games that i still need to play, and the price of next-gen is just a little too much for me right now. At first I was all about the PS3, but now I'm kinda like, "ehh, I can wait til it drops down in price some before I get it.

Actually, looking at things now, I actually might get a Wii before I get any other next gen console. The games are going to be a lot more innovative, and the price is a lot more appealing.
 
I'm happy to stay in the current-gen, or soon to be last-gen, for about another year longer. I'm getting a Wii next week and one of the big reasons why is so it can replace my stuttering Cube and allow me to continue playing my GC games.
 
First 2 things,

On main topic, this doesn't surprise me at all. I honestly think this is pretty normal at this stage. The 360 is still expensive and the other 2 aren't even out yet. Plus, outside of Oblivion, I don't see that AAA title out that sells the "next-gen". They are starting to come out (Gears of War might be that). Plus, all but the launch titles are still $50. Give it 6 months to a year, when the 360 has awesome game for $20, when the first PS3 games are hitting $25 or so (can't say for the Wii, since Cube titles took a long time to fall). I think almost everyone will sing a different tune.

Honestly, I jumped on the 360 because I have to play Oblivion (loved Morrowind, and my computer can't handle it). But, I'll wait for price drops to play many of the games (after Halo 2 getting huge reviews all based on online play, I'll wait to grab Gears of War).

Secondly, I'm not quite as annoyed with companies talking about additional content right away, here's why. We all assume that companies sit in and give us a "complete" game now. I think closer to the truth is, the developers have tons of ideas, and they sit down with the accountants to see how much money they have to add everything. Things get cut all the time (levels, extras,etc) (I think Fable may be an extreme example, but may help the case).

Anyway, what additional content may allow (if not abused) is for companies to make this extra stuff that you would have never seen. Since they know they wanted to do this, the extra stuff is likely known long before the original is released.

That being said, it is ripe for abuse (which is what everyone is scared of now). honestly, I think companies will try releasing a game a level at a time. It will likely get some sales. That being said, many gamers won't go for it, so these companies will be forced to release them all together in a package for a reasonable price to get the entire market.

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of downloaded games, only because I love the whole package. I have shelves of games, and I love seeing them all laying there. Having them all just listed on the computer won't be as fun.

Obviously, if they're selling content that is freely available in other versions of the game or through unlocking it, there's some issues there, and as you said, it's a system ripe for abuse. But some of the stuff we scream about, "It should've been in the game from the getgo!!!" might not have even existed outside of the realm of the microtransaction.
 
The #1 reason I wont be getting a ps3, or xbox360 anytime soon is that I cant afford to upgrade my TV. Thats not the only reason, but its the biggest. I still have an old 32" crt tv. And I feel like these new consoles are made to be used with hdtv's, and I cant afford $500-700 for a new system, and another $1200-2000 for a new tv, just so I can play Gears, or that Zombie game.

Now I know of course that you can hook up those systems to regular old tv's, but I just dont work like that. In my mind I need that new tv to go with the console. It would bother me to no end to know that Im not seeing these new games at their best.

I may get a Wii next week. But I wont be picking up a 360 or a PS2 for a while.
 
[quote name='Pijaibros']Playing PC-Engine, right now.[/quote]

Damn, you rock. PC-Engine had some sweet games. Anyway, I agree with the OP. Current gen still has some legs in it. The only next-Gen game that has me remotely of thinking of buying a system is Gears of War. I do have a PS3 preordered but that sucker is going on Ebay after hearing how disappointing the features are on the system.
 
I have a huge backlog of current gen games and still have all of my ssytems hooked up, but after playing the 360, it get much more difficult to play them. I thought X-Men Legends II was one of the best looking games on XBOX in all of it's 720p glory, but Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the 360 blows it away. I was very skeptical of Gears of War, but it has lived up to the hype.

Aside from obvious differences such as graphics, next gen features such as downloadable demos are huge in my book. The expanded friends list is very helpful. Even simple features on the 360 such as customizable menus are pretty sweet. Sure, there are some nice games out there for current gen systems, but the next gen is pretty sweet. Finally, the only microtransaction stuff I have gotten has been the Oblivion downloads and I don't feel cheated on any of the games.
 
The only reason I want to upgrade to a 360 is to get back into the thick of online gaming. Playing Halo 2 in it's heydey was the most fun I've ever had with a video game, and I would love to be to able to duplicate the experience with another game (ala Gears of War).

Same here. Our Cube is on the fritz and we've held off on getting a new one. We figure we can put the hundred bucks toward a Wii and it's almost like getting a Wii for $150. I'll play the hell out of Zelda but then it'll be Paper Mario, Eternal Darkness, and Metal Gear: Twin Snakes. They should re-release some of the Player's Choice titles around Christmas time. It'd be even better if they charged $10 like they did with the Xbox Platinum Hits a few months back.

The problem with re-releasing the Player's Choice games is that shelf space in many of the big B&M retailers is a huge issue. The Gamecube section at all my local stores has shrunk drastically lately (along with the GBA section) and I can only imagine it will shrink even more next year.

It's cool that it's BC but the GC games aren't exactly hot sellers, might as well give that space to Wii or DS games.

Very true. Maybe they only re-release 5-10 games. Metroid, Zelda, Mario Kart, etc.... At first, you could just put them in the Wii section. As the selection increases, you switch out the Cube games with the new releases. Or they could re-release one game at a time. Say six months before the Metroid Prime 3 drops, Nintendo releases a 2-pack with Metroid Prime 1 and 2 packaged with a demo for 3. That would sell like hot cakes.

A parent might actually spend more if there a couple cheap games they can throw in. Instead of getting a kid 3 Wii games that they might be bored with in a month, they can buy 1 or 2 Wii games and a handful of quality Cube games and that kid could be set until summer.
 
I'm so tempted to just buy a silver slim PS2 and have that tide me over for awhile. So many good cheap games out there for it. But part me says buy a PS3 and play PS2 games on it until a really good PS3 title comes along.


I'm going to get a Wii tho because it can play my old 'Cube games and because of the controller, price and virtual console.
 
I'm currently sticking to current generation consoles right now, although I have a 360. The truth is, there just isn't much at all I want for next generation consoles.

So far, my view on next generation this year is mostly negative. My 360 has been all right, but I haven't been completely satisified with it. My problems are that the majority of my favorite games are on PS2 also (many of them barely use any of the 360 power, like Samurai Warriors), and there just aren't many games that suit my interest (so far, I only really like the 360 games Enchanted Arms, Ridge Racer 6, PGR3, DoA4 to an extent, N3, PDZ, and 2-3 XBLA games. I can't find anything else I do like, but I do hate shooters, western RPGs unless multiplayer hack/slash type, and sports). Most stuff I wanted was delayed until next year, like DDR Universe, Fuzion Frenzy 2, Forza 2, etc. If anyone can think of anything I may like, let me know (I know there's Kameo, which I didn't like the demos, so I'm not 100% sure about it). PS3 isn't any better, since I only really want Ridge Racer 7, Genji 2 (big fan of the first though), Untold Legends: DK, and maybe Resistance (only because it's made by Insomniac, who I love). The Wii only has Super Monkey Ball, Elebits(sp), and maybe Trauma Center 2nd Option. Next year, next generation looks much better, with several games I want, so I'll probably be supporting it.

Although there are less PS2 games being released this Holiday season compared to the past, it's also been the biggest for me, with Valkyrie Profile 2, Tales of the Abyss, Xenosaga Episode III, FFXII, etc, Also, there's still some big releases in early 2007, that I want more than most anything next generation. Also IMO, handhelds are having an awesome lineup of games this Holiday season. The number of DS games I want has risen exponentially, especially since many of the games are appealing to me (FFIII, Magical Starsign, Elite Beat Agents, etc.). There are several PSP games I want that just came out, or about to come out. Also, the GBA is still releasing awesome games thanks to Atlus. So basically, most all the appealing games to me are for PS2, or handhelds, which is why most of my days are spent playing PS2 and/or handhelds. The Xbox is pretty much dead to me, where the only thing I'd buy is DDR Ultramix 4. Low chances of me getting it, since my Xbox isn't in my apartment (back at home). The GC IS dead to me now, after I bought my last game for it, Baten Kaitos Origins. If both those two still had a decent amount of games coming, I'd support them.

Right now I'm happy to stick to current generation, but I guarntee things will change.
 
I'm perfectly happy to stick with my PS2 simply because I mostly use it for sports games. On everything else, I'm just waiting for a price drop. When I can't get NCAA Football for the PS2 any more, I'll probably upgrade, but until then, I'm content with an old console and my relatively new DS Lite. There's still plenty of stuff I want to go back and buy for PS2 anyway.

I'd also like to see how the next gen lineups play out for another year or two before deciding on a system, since I'd like to see which ones will have the most games that appeal to me.
 
from what everyone is writing it sounds like the ps2 will be the system to get next year. its going to be the only older console still getting games made for it next year and it sounds liek alot of you didnt do much ps2 gaming the pas few years so youre getting in on it now due to lower console prices and the huge library of games. so in a funny way if this is true the ps3 may not do amazing numbers but sony will still be making tons of money off of the ps2. itd be interesting to see how it outsells the ps3 overall especially when and if more ps3 systems come out.
 
The PS2 still have to legs to it. I still have Rogue Galaxy, God of War 2, and Lumines Plus to look forward to. I'm buying a DS Lite this year to enjoy some 2-D Castlevania goodness. The only casualty I have is the Xbox. Looks like absolutely nothing is coming out for it anymore. Hopefully, they won't cancel Winning Eleven 10 next year.
