| Veknoid_Outcast said: I didn't want to scare away the three Xbox enthusiasts on the site. But I don't think it's a bigger stretch at all. I've seen a lot of PS loyalists (and to a lesser extent Xbox loyalists) downplay the potential of Nintendo games because of a perceived graphical inferiority -- we're seeing it every day with these Switch threads. You can't claim that most Nintendo fans are lying to themselves and that few Sony fans do the same. Human nature applies to all denominations. In any event, I agree that folks care about both graphics and gameplay. I think Nintendo gamers care more than they admit, and I think PS gamers care less than they admit. |
Yeah ... but there's a huge difference between console warrioring and the reality of modern day gaming. Putting nonsense to one side, people want better graphics and better gameplay. Look at any thread of any modern game and regardless of graphics you'll get plenty of discussion about gameplay, and I'm talking about the people who own the console those games are on, not people who don't. This whole 'gameplay over graphics' is a red herring (as someone has already pointed out). To me, Splatoon has great graphics, as does Mario and Zelda. Now 'When did resolution > art style' I could run with quite happily, but even then no one would argue that The Witcher 3, UC4 or God Of War don't have a good artstyle too.
The ultimate aim is to have both.
The PS5 Exists.
