kp606 I Macar Prove it. Yes it has been said that they are not emphasising graphics as much but that does not mean that the graphics will not be up to next-gen standards, they will certainly be well beyond the Xbox's capabilities. Since literally no hard data has been released on the Revolutions specs I don't see how you can even guess that the graphics will be so sub-standard. To tell the truth I don't see the big point with graphics. Yea they're neat and all...but if the only good/original/above-average thing about the game is that it has better graphics the game'll be forgotten within the next few months. People still play Pac-Man and Tetris and Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy 1-9 (etc. etc.) because they were and are good games! By today's standards the graphics are horrible. Hell, look at Starcraft! Ten years old this year and still played by an insane amount of people online because its just that frakkin' good. Even though many RTS games have come out since then. (...and I have to go take a Math final...so if I survive I'll be back...) Visually impairedThe Q hates being the bearer of bad news, but it comes with the territory (at least that's what the rumormonger handbook says). During a recent powwow with a few well-known gamemakers, some discussed their hands-on time with early Revolution development kits. OK, here it goes: According to those fellas, the grahpics that Nintendo's next-gen system can produce are barely better than those on GameCube. Hey, sounds a lot like Xbox-Xbox 360." That's from the EGM Jan. Edition.
Thank you, I guess. Acording to IGN however the Rev. will probably have about twice the horsepower of GC. And as the same article points out (ok, so i'm adlibing alittle) who cares? Yea, technically GC was second best to the Xbox...but RE4 has some of the best graphics this gen and was on the GC. The problem with the Xbox is that since they have the tech they assume they can just run with that...where games on the GameCube tend to squeeze the system for everything its worth and can come out better. I still think the Metroid Primes are two of the best looking current gen games out there, Xbox or not.
My point however still stands. Big whoop about the graphics. The human eye can only detect so many pixels/polygons/whatever. And besides. There really isn't such a thing as 'bad' graphics anymore, you're acting like they're going back to 16-bit or something.

The human eye can only detect so many pixels/polygons/whatever. And besides. There really isn't such a thing as 'bad' graphics anymore, you're acting like they're going back to 16-bit or something. I don't think you understand. The average idiot sixteen year old to twenty year (in America at least, Japan seems to understand things a little better) will not carry this philosophy. Alot of them prefer games that are eye candy, is that intelligent? No. Well it could be, because it's an opinion and there's nothing wrong with it. Take Art: I think good art needs to look real. I think Picaso's art is a waste of canvas, nothing about it looks good. Of course then come in people who think like you do and believe that the other aspects of the painting are what make it ~amazing~. I beg to differ.
I won't lie to you and tell you I believe the exact same thing. Could AC/PKMN Col./SMS/WW all have looked better? Yeah they really good have.
Halo is pratically the same rehashed idea on paper, it's a shooter that doesn't bring anything unique to the table. OMG! You can throw grenades with the other trigger, and it has CARS! GOOD LORD! But people threw themselves onto that game, for the graphics? (Those aren't even that mind boggling)
But yeah, that's my opinion. It's a smart buisness decision, that doesn't mean everything needs to do it.
