Anyway the next part of my blog leads me to Next gen games and some of the pros and cons of next gen games. The first main problem with next gen games are having the correct hardware to play them on. This especially effects PC gamers and their constant struggle with their comptures and new hardware, which is especially bad for their wallets. Like some of the games today such as Crysis you need some sort of super computer the size of a small 3 bedroom semi detached house in the middle of wiltshire to run the game on a decent setting so you get the full effect of the "oooooooo" factor.
Also the fact of blasting trees across the map with a fun family sized tactical neclear warhead. So yeah this is one major issue that surrounds next gen gaming, the customer not being able to keep up with the demands some games have for propper decent eye candy.
Game developers also have a slight problem with next gen games where the games become very complex to make. Also models of assests such as ingame items and characters become more detailed and the work for game designers becomes very specialised. However going back to the problem of consumers not being able to keep up with next gen game demands, developers are trying to gather as much info on peoples current hardware setups. As an example the Steam platform created by Valve regulary ask the consumer in a survey about their current hardware to get a general idea on their consumers computer configurations.
