Halo 3 and Bioshock Not “Next-Gen” Games - Some Say

Written on October 10, 2007 – 11:48 pm | by Game God | No Comments |

Whether Halo 3 or Bioshock were strictly made for the Xbox 360 or not, we don’t know, but there’s some people out there saying they weren’t.

David Braben of Frontier Developments says, they’re better looking, but still the same.

“I loved the 1930s-1950s atmosphere of BioShock: the lovely Art Deco visuals and the audio that worked especially well. “Overall the whole game was beautifully executed, but the gameplay itself was not ‘next-gen’.”

“I found Halo 3 great fun, too, but also a little disappointing - as although there were a few nice touches and improved graphical fidelity, it hadn’t really moved on much from Halo 2in terms of the gameplay.”
