A Graphic Matter

[BumblebeeCody]

I think it heavily depends on the hardware. It's pathetic to see console owners bickering over graphics when PC is ALWAYS going to be superior.

Surprisingly the Wii has terrible graphics but in return we've been given some incredibly creative games that work around "realistic graphics" with artistic or creative.



Unfortunately the Wii doesn't show these games for how they should be and it is insulting to the artists.




I've heard the phrase "Graphics don't make a good game". This applies to every game. A game like Crysis has incredible graphics and solid controls/gameplay but it's not exactly entertaining and the writing is average at best. But the same can be said for a game like El Shaddai. The graphics aren't super realistic physics but are gorgeous to look at, but again the story is wank. Anyone who's play Deadly Premonition and completed it knows that it's lacking in the graphics department but the story is incredible!

This comes back to my point I made earlier the consoles don't the games justice. But check out how amazing the games look in 1080p on Dolphin Emulator

It's easy to ignore FPS genre for having mindless team mates but the "ultra-realistic" point is hard to agree with. Ever played Heavy Rain?

Graphics do matter but they don't necessarily make the game good, whether it's ultra realistic like Battfield 3 and Crysis or artistic like El Shaddai. It's only a part of the overall package, there are too many contributing factors to also consider about a game.
