Halo 3 'not next-gen'

Halo 3 and Bioshock are not next-generation games, according to an influential games designer.

David Braben, the creator of the classic space trading game Elite and now head of Frontier Developments, says that the two titles do not measure up to the next-gen tag, despite being bestsellers on next-gen consoles.

Speaking to Eurogamer, he said: "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 2 in terms of the gameplay."

Braben is currently working on a title called The Outsider, which he believes will be one of the first next-generation games, offering the user the same kind of freedom as Elite.

If it's being played on a next gen console and it's only being made for a next gen console....it's a next gen game.
