I think most companies have yet to find the perfect balance between looks and gameplay. Most games either look fantabulous and play like shit, or look halfway decent and are fun as hell.
Take the Twisted Metal PS1 franchise for example, which switched development companies between the first 2 and last 2 games. I'm sure it's pretty safe to say that TM 1+2 are graphically inferior in most respects to 3+4. But then again 1+2 are also a hell of alot more fun to play than 3+4, because it was all about gampley with 1+2, rather than graphics tweaking and presentation with 3+4, which took the fun out of it.
They did a good job with 4 though in bringing back some of the gameplay and such of 1+2.
There aren't that many "next-gen" games to really compare to at the moment since all of the systems are basically "babies" in their lifespans. But we'll see what happens in the future.
One thing that this thread reminds me of is the fact that I don't particularly like playing complex games on gameboys or other handhelds for long amounts of time, but give me a game like tetris or the original Mario Bros, and I'll play for hours on end.
I think a lot of developers are losing focus of what makes a great game. It is GAMEPLAY. Purdy graphics are nice, but they should not be the crutch with which the game stands on.
Well some games that i play on my PC are better being Realistic,
but on the other hand i like some games that arnt so realistic it all depends on the veiwer and waht they like. . . . . .but one thing all games need is good graphics :drool:
It depends.
I personally prefer fantasty type games than Realism type games. It's not the Realism that makes the game bad there are many factors in a game besides Realism.

Okay, one more word: Lunar.
I think games need Kick ass graphics...and need to have good storylines...:highfive:
Personally I like the graphics for the GC zelda, I don't mind them at all... and it's the game that counts in the end anyway. but if a game has shitty art in it then it's not fun to me though. It's all opinion though. No single person can tell any other person what game is good and what is not really, you have to see for yourself.
Couldn't have said it better Radium. It's opinion.
