And last time I checked games were about having fun and good gameplay and not how well it looks and what technical nifty stunts they pull to make it work. All that matters is that it works and works well.
I wish people would stop saying this. From my point of view, the whole graphics vs gameplay debate is so pointless.
When people play a game, they expect good gameplay. It' s a fact. No one argues with that.
Nowdays, when people play a game they expect good graphics too. It' s a fact.
It' s time to face it: Graphics have become just another part of the checklist in what makes a game great. " Good Graphics" have become a
standard, just like " Good Gameplay" . The player expects a certain minimum amount from each. One is no longer greater than the other. They both go hand in hand. They are just as important as each other and one will find that it' s very hard to make a spectacular game with just one of these elements.
I think that toward the later parts of it' s lifecycle, the Wii is going to find this out the hard way. The graphical standard is one that is continually evolving and as we go later into 2008, we may see the Wii unable to keep up with the standards that we expect. As with many others, I am holding off my purchase of the Wii based on game selection, but I am also hesitant because I have yet to see how they are going to keep up with standards. Nintendo' s first party games will probably shine, but everything else I' ve seen has been poor - and that smells like Gamecube syndrome.
