No the results of graphics from current and next gen are pretty clear. I have a hard time believing the bit about dealing with a 30 second ad before the game starts. But the rest seems possible.

As for the numbnuts above, is this the same douchebag who wanted the always online crap?
Nope, pretty sure that's Adam Orth you're thinking of.

Microsoft already does pre-game ads for their Win8 games, like Solitaire and the like. That makes this shit incredibly fucking likely, since the 360 has been a glorified ad box for a few years now.

Using a yearly sports game as comparison? You do realise they just half ass those out the door every year right? You missed the point of my post; they CAN push current consoles to look better and it's entirely possible to see some gorgeous visuals if devs put the effort into it. Second, how can you be sure that that shot isn't pre-rendered? Or even for the PC version, at that.

This is why I find it hard to give a shit about graphical advances most of the time, because developers only use it to mask the fact their art departments don't have a single creative bone in their bodies. There is a big difference between what is technically impressive, and what is actually appealing to the human fucking eye, and besides the fact the former only looks somewhat better when you insist on applying sepia filters to everything, it's also the kind of detail that tends to be forgotten two years later.

You know what a good use of better processing power is?

Every one of those is an individually programmed actor. You can't even see the fucking floor in most areas. Next gen consoles could go absolutely fucking nuts with this, but they have to resort to the same facades they did last gen because of the polygon fetishism most devs display, especially the launch window ones. Hell, if you look at the crowd in other shots of that very same NBA game, you'll notice that some of them don't even have goddamned hands.

This is one of the many reasons I consider the original Dead Rising a landmark title. Seriously, raw power needs to be channelled into something that could enhance the gameplay experience. No one cares how accurate to an actor's likeness this character looks like. Hell, with every new entry in a series of games, like Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed, the characters end up looking more hideous and doing the whole uncanny valley business. It's incredibly off-putting and unappealing, I don't know why devs continue to strive for "realism" when fantasy is far more acceptable.

I doubt that MS would shoot their foot off for ingame ads if PS4 didn't have the same feature.

The other stuff? Totally believable.

XBONE can't keep up with PS4's graphic fidelity, if anyone cares.

See, this is Microsoft's chance to bone (pun intended) the PS4; release some seriously innovative and interesting games with what graphics you have. No one will care how life like everything looks on the PS4, if your game plays better and feels better, you will win.

The CODBros will be all "BUT IT LOOKS UGLY" and then devs will turn the XBONE into the Wii U.

Because bros ruin everything.

If everyone becomes the Wii U, then we'd all be much happier people. Let the dudebros stop gaming, at least things'll go back to some semblance of normalcy we haven't seen since the sixth console generation.
