"Despite all the pessimism surrounding this year’s E3, there is one good thing to be gleaned from it. Top development companies have shifted from an emphasis on high-end graphics to a high-end engine—the difference is small, but impacts games in huge ways and says a lot about how the next generation consoles are likely to deal with improving the performance of games when graphics are already performing high across consoles (…excluding the Wii)."
Good gameplay is enough for me.
Of course it's not enough. People tend to be blinded by graphics when it's all the elements within a game that makes it a worthwhile exercise altogether.
An example of not seeing the forest because of the trees.
Enough? HELL NO. Games are meant to have good gameplay, graphics are a bouns if it has both. But graphics with no gameplay mean a crap game no matter what. Pull your head out of your butts guys, Super Mario World is better than most 3D games on modern consoles. Notice the word most, not all, most.
