Not sure what the implications are, because Uncharted and Driveclub look nice they will play like molasse?

I would argue to the contrary, many of the best playing games across all time were also considered the best looking games of their time:

 - Super Marion Bros 3

 - Sonic the Hedgehog

 - Grand tourismo

 - Doom (on PC)

 - Quake (on PC)

 - Tekken 2 (PSX)

 - Soul Calibur (Dreamcast)

 - Whatever version of Grand Turismo was on PS2 and Forza on the og xbox

 - Any Halo game upon release

 - Gears of War

 - God of War 1, 2 and 3

 - Uncharted 2

etc.

Good teams make games that play and look great, this is what budgets are for... obviously one does not guarantee the other, but implying that good graphics somehow lessen the playing experience is just plain ignorance.


My statement completely flew over your head. If the game looks bad, but has good gameplay it's pretty crappy. If the game looks good and has bad gameplay it's also crappy. My example isn't mutually exclusive to one thing. Aestetic and gameplay need to mesh for a proper and complete experience. Minecraft is a great example of this, it's has the best of both worlds. Tomb Raider is another example. The list you gave me is games you examples of what I explain. Good teams don't always make good games, might I remind you of Sonic 06?
