Caring About Graphics Is Important, to an Extent

Twinfinite writes: A player’s first judgment of an upcoming video game starts with the graphics. The first showing of a game sets an expectation. Caring about graphics is necessary because it has to capture the imagination of players and make them want to explore the world. Though, players shouldn’t place all emphasis on a game with its graphics.

We PC gamers openly care about the best graphics, we don't try to hide it and claim that advanced graphics aren't that important. But many of us still prefer very high framerate when they do multiplayer games.

As for console gamers, many on the net pretend that they don't care. Lies of course.

Just Imagine games like Ryse or Uncharted series without pretty graphics...

Not at all. To me, the essence of PC gaming is indie/less-than-AAA/less accessible games, and downgrading the graphics settings liberally in every single game until you hit 144 fps at rock-bottom minimum. I can't go back to consoles as long as the requirement for every game isn't at least 60 fps.

It's kinda starting to happen with Pro/Scorpio, though.

It's like bathing your eyes in silky-smooth cream

Haha. But it's expensive bro!

"Just Imagine games like Ryse or Uncharted series without pretty graphics..."

And you continue with your laughably pathetic trolling of Sony. uncharted is a 90% + multiple GOTY awarded, multi million sales franchise way out of the league of Ryse. I guess you're just salty because uncharted, specificaly uncharted 4, Is better than anything Microsoft has put out this generation. Ouch.

Deep-throat3000d ago

I'm not bro. I can show you my copy that I bought when the game came out.

Uncharted series is nothing without graphics.

I think graphics is the wrong word. Aesthetic is important, the game should have a look and feel that is of a high quality. There are plenty of games with lesser graphics (Gungeon) that still look great doing what they do well. When games don't look great (ME:A) and have graphical glitches that is a problem. Breath of the Wild doesn't have the best graphics, but it still has an amazing aesthetic that serves the art style well.

Well if the player feels more of an attachment to a character made out of 16 bit pixels then today's more modern realistic high polygon count ones then you know sheits FKD UP in every department except for the graphics

Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.

Darth,

That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.

CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.

darthv72341d ago

That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.

No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.

andy85341d ago

Sweet. Never got round to it on release. I'll give the campaign a go

Severly underrated game. Big improvement over 2.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
