My Thoughts On The Next Generation Of Gaming

Hello everyone.

Thank you for taking a moment to read my post. This is not going to be a very lengthy post. I have written on the 8th generation before. A majority of talking points when discussing the 8th generation I've already talked about.

With that said. Let's get to the point.




The next generation of console gaming is almost upon us. In 3 weeks the next generation will begin with the release of the Playstation 4. Many of us have made our pre-orders. Reserved our special bundles and are waiting eagerly for the next generation.

I am as excited as the next guy or gal gamer but I want to give my 2 cents on what I think we will begin to see this next generation.

In my opinion, I think we will begin to see new genres of games. New levels of immersion that some games could only imagine of reaching in the last generation. We're seeing it now with the Dual Shock 4 touch pad being used in Infamous: Second Son as a fingerprint scanner to progress in the game. The Xbox One controller with the use of the impulse triggers in Forza 5, that make you feel things like traction.

Jay Hooft from 3_Killa_Bytes attests to this when he was using the Xbox One controller while playing Forza 5.


In terms of visuals. I think the next generation will not reach breathtaking visuals or manage to create outstanding visuals, despite console limitations. Halo 4 did that this year in January. Managing to bring an outstanding visual presentation, despite being designed on out of date hardware.

I think what we will begin to see in the next generation is new factors of immersion that make the player feel more immersed into the experience.New elements we've never seen before; or elements we have seen before, but improved for an even better experience. A lot of new elements were introduced this generation. Some better than others. Some which changed a gaming genre or franchise in a drastic way.

I think we could begin to see these new elements improved to the point where we have experiences like no other. A huge refreshment of genres and the gaming experience.

Which is another thing I think will happen this next generation. Refreshment. The 7th generation has lasted quite awhile. A lot of us have been gasping for new console hardware. The hardware we have used has begun to show it's age as of late. We have enjoyed replaying some of the more notable titles of this generation on this hardware. We still however are yearning for a brand new experience. Something I think the next generation will deliver with flying colors.

Especially when you consider how many retail stores have had to put 'out-of-stock' on their websites. You get a really good idea about how hyped the gaming community has become for the next generation. Try and pre-order a Playstation 4 off of Amazon right now. Go ahead.

In Conclusion

The 8th generation of gaming is around the corner.

It has been a long awaited moment by many of us in the gaming community. November 15th marks the beginning of a new generation.

I look forward to the next generation, and I look forward to experience this next generation with you.

Thank you for reading.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam...

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro...

Weapon Profile The Ballista is known as the FN Ballista, a rifle designed by FN Herstal in Belgium, the rifle was designed to meet the reuirments of the Precision Sniper Rifle program for the US Army.
