Is gameplay still more important than graphics? Bright Hub looks back on the touchy issue and discusses why technically impressive graphics may be more important now than ever before.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.
Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
Graphics have always mattered. Why do a select group of people try and downplay graphics or even question it?
They might not be as critical as gameplay, but both come together to form the overall experience. Often, the more realistic or visceral a game is the easier it is to be immersed in the atmosphere of the game. Some games go for style over realism.
If graphics aren't important, why would companies make better hardware year after year?
Anyway, 2011 is bringing new handhelds which of course offer graphically inferior games to what is available on consoles - but that doesn't matter because its about the overall experience.
Too... many... games... to... care...
Do graphics matter - YES
Do they take precedent over gameplay - NO
Do good graphics enhance gameplay - YES
.
I still could play great games with average graphics anytime.
Agreed. It's part of a game- just like soundtrack, setting, characters, gameplay, it all boils down to creating this virtual world wherein you feel immersed.
Different people might prefer gameplay to level design but, personally,I'd never neglect the technical side of graphics and its evolution.
