If nintendo one day puts super graphics in their console, in a moderate price... it would get bashed at because they will say "they focus to much graphics then gameplay"...
THATS how much hate the video game critics and gamers have for nintendo
WHY... idk... ask one of them... maybe they'll be honest. |
Pretty much. This is what they did on the GameCube. While at the same time obsessing over the XBOX's graphics and scoring PS2 games higher on Graphics.
Its funny how when a Sony system does it, stuff like Presentation and art direction makes its way into graphics to increase the score. But when a Nintendo system is involved with anything, everything is cut and dry 'there was bad textures and the graphics were weak compared to the graphics on 'X' game on XBOX/PS2'.
Now that the Wii is involved, its just been accented even worse as they think Nintendo 'sold out' on the Graphics.

That's some imagination you've got there. |
Says the person with an image of Shadow of the Colossus in his Signature....one of the best examples of my statement above (game reviewers obsessing over 'graphics' when they are really obsessing over art direction and presentation).
Its a clear sign of bais when PS2 games can get 9.0 and 9.5 in graphics and GC games, a system which was much better in graphics, gets downscored. A game like Shadow of the Colossus does not have the same graphical level of Resident Evil 0. Yet they have the same score for 'Graphics' on IGN.
|
And a game like Brawl gets a 9.0 in graphics from IGN while Tekken 6, a much, much better looking game gets a 7.5. That's because Wii graphics are scored by Wii standards, just like PS2 graphics were scored by PS2 standards.
And FYI, art direction and presentation factor into the graphics scores of all games, regardless of console.

And that's why a game like Metroid Prime Trilogy can also garder a score of 9.0 in graphics on the Wii? The same exact score as Brawl. See, we can pull up examples all night, it just shows the same exact thing, the reviewers are inconsistent and put up scores at random to fit their own purposes. Especially on IGN, where they obsess over Metroid (showing the inflated score for graphics and Metroid scores as a whole). With many times, Matt Casamassina stating Metroid Prime is his favorite game of all time. Yet his staff (and Matt himself) are the same guys who poke fun at Nintendo on a regular basis on podcasts and even stated they were going to try to 'warn the world about WiiMusic'.
As you can see, there's way more behind the scenes of review sites than just a simple black and white score. There's tons of personal opinions, bias and even the reviewers trying to manipulate their readers views.
