Well I agree to be honest. He's not saying that gaming as a whole needs to be HD, but if you want to whine about why you're not getting these core, graphically-dependent franchises, then you need to beef up. You all won't admit it, but there are certain games out there that need good graphics. "Graphics isn't everything" is getting old. It is sometimes a necessary complement.

If you were to say some games/genres definitely benefit from 'good' graphics I could agree, but to say that they need them is going too far.  We've just seen COD4 on the Wii, a game that at the time many people said couldn't be done on the Wii. Is it pretty, no, but the gameplay is intact.  Graphics can be a nice complement, sure. Necessary?  No way.

 

Well with the 'necessary' part, I suppose it boils down to the individual. I for one simply cannot play COD4 for wii after playing it on PC. Doom 3 was a rubbish game imho, the graphics were the only thing that made it worth playing at the time.

But I suppose that's why I couldn't live with a Wii alone, whilst others can.
