Well aren't you just a Nazi then. Sorry that everything has to look the exact same. Art direction and graphics are one in the same noob. Definition of graphics is the visuals that best fit the atmosphere the game potrays. Which is why so far I'd say Super Mario Galaxy and Uncharted. Not going to include GT5P because I think that took no effort whatsoever. Anyone can try to recreate life as it's seen, and then come up failing. It takes a real genius to create something completely new. Uncharted and SMG do that well. |
wow, you apparently have no idea how much time and effort Polyphony and Kazunori Yamauchi puts toward their games. GT has always been used as a simulator for professional racers and drifters alike, in which they make sure they get feedback from during production. It can take months to get a single car done and Yamauchi test drives the cars himself to make sure the feel is as close as possible, all this while they program all their car models in GT5P part by part just for physics and weight transfer alone. PD sends art designers and photographers to take thousands of photos of every track and every car that's in-game. PD even has freaking beds in their studios just incase a dev gets too tired and decides to sleep in the office instead. Right before their presentation in TGS07, Yamauchi had his developers tweak the demo right before their demonstration because he thought a car was a hair to close to another, the dude was sweating bullets and obsessed over that minor problem alone. PD and Yamauchi are highly respected by all their peers, the press, professional drivers and competitors for their attention to detail and the effort it takes to turn it into a videogame. You can say "GT sucks" or "GT is overrated" all you want but saying that these devs don't put effort and sweat into their games is a cheap slap in the face. Tread carefully.
