If you want good graphics watch a movie? are you serious? ridiculous, but I guess you prefer to play the next Super Smash in the N64 graphics don't you? Wrong. People aren't looking for freakin' movies to play they want good graphics that improve the gaming experience. |
If you think that videos look awful, then I guess there's nothing to be said about film, period. There actually is nothing that looks more "real" than the "real' thing. It may have been cheesy, and it may have looked retarded in a game setting, but film is real, period. How you can possibly argue against that point is beyond me, but you are welcome to do so.
However, you are completely missing my point: I mean that realism was attempted before, with FMV. What really sucked about it is not the lack of realism of FMV, but its inherent lack of gameplay opportunities. Like Dragon's Lair. FMV allows for extremely limited, "choose A or B but there ain't a C for you to choose from" gameplay, which is exactly what games are not about. Games are about interaction.
And I understand how people aren't going to watch movies to get their gameplay fix because there is no interactivity in watching a movie. That's my point. How you missed it baffles me.
