Graphics have been said to enhance game-play.

But graphics made a big jump last generation (if you didn't have a PC) and as a result all the teenagers are convinced that every new generation is going to have the same gap. Without the HD transition you won't see a massive jump in graphical fidelity, that's just how it is. If Sony or Microsoft want to sit on their hands until a new, Super HD standard becomes prevalent than they are welcome to do that. Yeah, graphics are not everything but they really do help with quite a few games. It's always nice to have that option because I do get tired of side scrolling 2D Marios, great for casual play, relaxing but sometimes I want some great immersion and I use to think every generation that graphics could get no better, I remember thinking PS1 graphics were amazing and fairly realistic until a couple years ago I replayed a PS1 game and was like, what the hell is wrong with my TV, did games really look this bad. There is still a lot of room for improvement graphic wise. --- To be fair, the bible has more plot holes than ME3. I wouldn't be listening either - Pies12 | |

Aaaannd back on topic, gameplay makes a game, not graphics. Graphics are essentially just eye-candy, and don't add anything really meaningful to a game. Although most people I ask think that graphics are more important, they really aren't looking deep enough into a game. If someone were to make a game with great art, backgrounds, and colorful sprites, but say the controls were horrible and you did the same thing over again, it would be boring and not too fun to play (Unless you're really into that.) In the end, graphics can't fix an ultimately broken game. Gameplay does, because that's the core foundation of a game. For example, imagine a company that made really good looking computers, with a really nice looking GUI (not well functioning mind you.) Now imagine if the computer was hard as f*** to navigate through, and was not compatible with anything. MOST people wouldn't like computer/OS because it was pretty much broken. Even if it looked nice, it would be a mess. Well there's 20 min of my life I'll never get back. --- The Gelatinous, Squishy, Tasty Blob of the Kid Icarus: Uprising Board. I am a blob.

MathewManson posted... Heaps of people have said that "Graphics do matter! They enhance the gameplay!" And they do. Play any of those games at low resolution and at low settings, and then play them at high resolution at high settings. You'll find the latter to result in a markedly improved experience, in every example. I mean hell, I remember all the complaints people had back when Diablo 2 was released and many of the graphical effects were Glide-only (especially colored lighting, which affected the visual indication of many spells and status effects). If graphics didn't help the game, then noone would've cared about those missing effects. The perspective option also gave the game a much better sense of depth to allow you to discern the game environment better. --- "Walking tanks must exist somewhere for there to be such attention to detail like this in mech sim." - IGN Steel Battalion review | |

Graphics only enhance the presentation of a game, not gameplay, though there are exceptions to certain games that make objectives hard to find due to graphics. Most of these however where around the 8 to 16 bit era of gaming. --- "LOL fail, SMG and GTA5 aren't even from the same decade. gj." - War_Fail | |
Nintendo fanboys still trying to convince themselves that graphics don't matter? Not surprised --- imo for the tight asses | |
Stopthink posted... Nintendo fanboys still trying to convince themselves that graphics don't matter? Not surprised Because they don't in terms of gameplay and in terms of presentation you can make retro styled games or games that are polished enough but still not as great looking be fun. --- "LOL fail, SMG and GTA5 aren't even from the same decade. gj." - War_Fail | |
Yea, I'm sure you'd all rather play Mario Kart on an 8-bit console. Please dig your head out of your asses. --- imo for the tight asses | |
Of course graphics enhance gameplay. A well-controlled game that's beautiful to look at makes it that much better. --- Pokemon White FC: 0346 8604 2225 PSN: phayro_rip People Only Like Obama, that's the motto Romney, P.O.L.O. |
