Just how long is "next gen" going to be used to explain "current gen"???
UltraDSA \| 11:57 AM on 09.01.2007	13 comments

Seriously! This is just ridiculous. What the hell will the real next gen be called when the time comes around? Ohhh and who started whole “next gen” crap? This term was never used when going from N64 to Dreamcast or PS2. We usually always have seen a double in power, sure this new leap was beyond that but…c’mon!

With the 360 going on it’s second year it’s just silly to keep using a introductory term constantly with no end in sight. So im curious to see what the almighty trend setter guru comes out with to explain the real next gen because the term “next gen” can’t be used because it’s permanently stuck on explaining this current gen.

So in the best interest of freeing the captive phrase “next gen” I beg you to let anyone who uses it know they are not making sense and unknowingly keeping a term captive that is needed to explain the next transition in gaming! Free next gen and accept nothing less.

AND to anyone who keeps using it: you don’t make sense or are in denial…let it go…it will be alright!

This blog is totally next gen. Just look at how shiny it is!

UltraDSA

You forgot to mention the Bloom effect and hyper real greyish tones!

Well when the time comes for the next next gen they'll just start reffering to the current gen as last gen.

You forgot that it isn't considered next gen untill something uses waggle.

The new next-gen will come along when boob jiggle physics require a dedicated cpu for real time nipple calculations

UltraDSA

I hope that same cpu has power left for ass cheak shifting variables for running or walking character animations ;)

We all do, DSA, we all do.
Seriously, Ass-jiggle is more important than people realize.

if it's anything like last time, the current gen will be called 'next gen' until real next gen consoles are announced. it's unfortunate that it's such a hard concept to grasp, if you can buy something it's current gen, next gen is not available yet.

Yeah, I get sick of people saying next gen. I agree; next-gen is supposed to be Wii2, PS4, and the Xbox 720, not the stuff we have now.

KevlarGibs

everyone knows it's gonna be xbox 1080... major selling point, all games are rendered in native 1080P60...

that's my theory anyway... you heard it here first
