i'm in the exact opposite boat. take away todays pretty graphics and see how they do there have been soo many great games i have played this gen that have less than par graphics and they got horrible reviews and there have been even more shitty games that i have played that had amazing graphics and good scores. It seems a game gets docked a bunch for its graphics in reviews, yet doesn't get docked for bugs or gliches. They just go "hope an update fixes this later" its like wtf |
you realize that more powerful hardware allows for improvement in all aspects of the game, and not just the visuals right ?
A more direct reply to your statement.. Concider that a game from 1996 released today the exact same. The controls would be slammed, the AI would be slammed... It would be called a relic, under developed as the game today are amongst and competing with games in the same genre that have been developed much further... Even if the original game was the starting point of their development. If it had'nt been made before, didn't have a popular char.. It would get slammed in reviews.
