Games now a days....

...aren't like the past.
I remember a time...
.... when a graphical advancement in a game would warrant it as a good buy. But with things in their current state technology isn't a huge factor any more. Storyline is a prime factor in a game. And that is what is getting me excited now a days. Just looking at the new Medal of Honor previews i am very impressed with the weight they are giving onto the characters. And the fact that it is following current events (maybe not to a t) makes it all that more appealing. I hope, sincerely, that developers will focus on that with a good integration of new technology. I'm sure they are aware, then why are there crap-tastic games.I do indeed, though, miss the days when i would look at a preview and say to myself, "oooooh! how pretty!" I hope that is not going the way of the dodo.
However in the works are cheaper and larger 120hz monitors to use the new 3d vision from nvidia. Have not seen it in use, myself, but using the technology that is similiar if not exact to the 3d seen in movie theaters recently will defiantly add an edge to gaming. In addition to some wrap around monitors PC gaming will defiantly be taken to a new level. When it comes to consoles i am not clear if we will have to wait till the next generation. If the xbox and ps3 are indeed capable of this televisions will need to be able to perform at this enhanced refresh rate. And currently the technology is too expensive for most people. We will have to see what is presented at e3 this year, and what happens next.
...time will tell.
