That comment largely sums up next generation at E3.
Look at Killzone, woo, at its core a Sci-Fi shooter that look prettier than the last game.
Look at inFamous, woo, at its core a GTA game with powers which look prettier than the last game.
Look at Forza 5, woo, at its core a realistic driving game that look prettier than the last game.
It is only the first batch though.
Look at the launch stuff this gen and then look at what we've got now. Same game in a more expensive dress.
All the games we will get are based on what has come before. But now they've added a nice pair of shoes to go with that dress.
We're spoiled because we're at the pinnacle of graphics and gameplay. We'll have to wait for devs to get the most out of the new hardware just as we did previously.

My point was it seem unfair to criticise this game for been at its core just a prettier version of what came before when pretty much everything we have seen falls into that same category.
I know what you're getting at. As indifferent as I feel about CoD, I do at least understand why it gets so many fans and why the clones don't stand up to it.
But then you look at Destiny and you see a Halo influence.
There seems to be quite a few persistent world type games coming out, Destiny, Division and Planetside 2 hopefully one of them will bring mass combat and destruction to the console world.

Those interior shoots look amazing. Hopefully they won't downgrade the graphics come launch time.
I wasn't able to listen to the video, was that a 'target' video or was that actually running the games engine?
I'm not sure but won't be surprised if it's target.
God, I hope not.
