I dunno. Modern games are still fun, but at what point is the cinematics selling the title, and not good plain fun. I SUPPOSE there's an advantage to have the game engine play the cut-scenes instead of having to embed external pre-recorded video... but at least for now, player's facial expressions still don't play much of a role in the actual game play... so...
Is this all just the 21st century version of laser disc games...
Or am I too old school to appreciate the "realistic" cut scenes as much as I should? I'll admit, my favorite games are still pixillated oldies.
That said, the new UR4 object fracturing is pretty awesome.
I had this chat with my teens, and they insist the video is the most important part of a title. They say this... yet they still love playing my "old fashioned" games on "the old" pc.... like Heros of Might and Magic II, Civ II, Diablo, where pixillated stills with prerecorded audio still carried the load. Those games make the 5 minute boot-up worth the wait. Where it not for those games, that old PC would be landfil material.
Anyway... Unreal Engine 4... worth waiting until 2013 for it?

Unreal Engine too real to be unreal?
