"If you feel that graphics are important, then obviously you must be a shallow gamer who only plays HD iterations of big budget shooter X.
If you say they don't matter then surely you're a casual gamer loser or retro gamer snob.
This false dichotomy seems to represent the default positions on where people fall when presented with the question: Do graphics matter? But what do graphics really matter? As a graphic artist, you'd think I'd consider them pretty important, and you'd be right. However, I feel that the wrong question is being asked here.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
is the most important thing
gameplay is the key
graphics can improve the game experince,push limits and boundaries
wii and DS have new "fun eliments",mad world,gta ds
if the wii was as powerful as 360 or ps3,it would be hands down the best system fro 3rd party games
bioshock wii controles,cod4,resi 5(resi 4 wii has amazing controles),sport games,etc....
like I said gameplay is the key,graphics can push boundaries and that also depends on the development team
gameplay>graphics,super mario galaxy is perfect,I guess if you open the english dictionary and search for the word "perfection" the dictionary will say "see super mario galaxy"
and btw smg looks phenominal
imagine if nintendo has ps3 power to develop metroid,zelda and mario "faints"
As much as I hate to admit it...I am a Graphics Whore.
we didnt buy hdtvs to be looking at garbage.
there is no trade off! It has to look good & be fun. That's it!
That's the bottomline & there's no going back.
There is no such thing as a shallow gamer who prefers graphics.
Who ever said that shallow gamers prefer graphics over gameplay is a liar.
Its impossible to only play a game for looks only. That's just a made up term to put a
label on a person.
Art is subjective so this argument is already moot. I have a healthy game library spanning from the NES to present day, including many different consoles. Whenever I get the urge, I play older games no problem; some of these games still amaze me to this day. That being said, I bought an HD console for HD games. You can have good gameplay and good graphics or good graphics and good art direction, it does'nt have to be one or the other. Seems to me that most of the arguments are just excuses for shortcomings.
My thoughts on graphics have always been, as long as they don't take away from the gameplay then why not push the graphically envelope.
It's just a shame that gamers are starting to use graphics as a reason not to play a game.
