| SaviorX said: @tombi123 Because nowadays, the first thing devs mention concerning their games is graphical appeal. No one discussed Killzone 2 gameplay for months. The only discussion was of it's graphics. I only use Killzone 2 as example. |
While that's true that Killzone 2 is being promoted as a graphics powerhouse, there are still nothing but glowing previews from people that have demoed it and say the gameplay keeps pace. The graphics are merely a marketing tool in this case that may end up drawing people into a vey deep game. Sony knows how to sell it.
On the overall topic, I don't think this is any more true than any generation. We've always had games known more for their flash than gameplay because of how great the graphics are. Does no one remember the eye ogling of Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong Country, F-Zero, Star Fox, Vector Man, Comix Zone and many others? Sure, but they're also known for their amazing gameplay.
