A Graphic Matter

Graphics, in my opinion, are fine. I'm happy they're being improved bit by bit, but even now the standard is pretty good.

The only time I think graphics matter, is when a console has the ability to have nice graphics, but just doesn't. The 3DS is a good example, games like REvelations, and Snake Eater look great, much like current gen, but then you have Crush 3D and Tom Clancey, which look sub Dreamcast level, which isn't that great. Skyrim is an example of this too, it looks terrible, Fallout looked much better in my opinion.

But to be honest, if a game doesn't try to have amazing graphics, it's fine, all graphics do is try to be realistic, but until you have unlimited detail and such, you'll never get that far. Art style can make graphics look nicer, and can make games look much nicer too, Skyward Sword looks very nice on the Wii, and the art style and the colour also show this. God of War 2 also looks great, I only played it once, and it looks very current gen, all because of it's art style.

I care little for graphics, I'd rather a company focus on the AI, Story and Gameplay than anything else.
