I find it funny that the people who base their enjoyment of games by how good the textures and lighting look are often the same people who hate stuff like the Star Wars prequels and Transformers because they're nothing but shiny visuals over substance. We play videogames because they're first and foremost, fun experiences. Many games released 20 years ago are still as fun today as they were when we were children, while many modern games focus entirely on making games technical showpieces first and the fun factor seems to be an afterthought. It's why I am still a Nintendo gamer. Their games are far from cutting edge from a technical standpoint, but I had far more fun with games on my Wii than on any other system. While they may lack the mature nature of something like Bioshock or Red Dead Redemption, they're what the core of what games should be. Fun. |

A good example of this is in the twilight days of the NES. Most companies had figured how to squeeze every graphical drop out of that 8-bit machine. Taito said "Eff this. Let's focus on gameplay." Have you played Little Samson? That game is a lot of fun. It's not the best looking game on the NES, but dammit it's fun. Panic Restaurant is the same story. Fun > Pretty |
