Are you sure graphics did not play a role in a lot of the PS4 exclusives games people are looking forward to. I am going to hege a bet that people do not get excited just because a game is exclusive. Instead people get excited if a exclusive looks like the upcoming Spiderman or Horizon and its exclusive. |
Graphics always plays a role because that's how it grabs your attention for first impression. But Horizon, like many other amazing looking games, definite has a good first impression due to the graphics, but we all know that no matter good a game looks, if it plays like garbage then that's the final result. Everybody knows gameplay is the #1 factor in an amazing game, it just doesn't hurt/or even more impressive if it looked good too.
Looking at 2017 PS4 exclusive, graphics wasn't the defining factor.
- Yakuza 0, the game just looks like a more polished version of its previous but anybody that plays the series loves it
- Gravity Rush 2, looks like a polished Vita version or the same as the PS4 remaster
- Kingdom Hearts 2.8, just looks more polished than previous KH games.
- Horizon, probably the only PS4 exclusive this year so far that shows really amazing graphics, but anybody that's played it talks more about how fun it is than its graphics.
- Nier Automata, a typical looking hack n slash by Platinum Games that only looks better than Bayonetta 2 due to power difference in console
- Persona 5, the graphics aren't close to top notch, but the artwork and style and amazing.
Most of these games are more like 'expected graphics' because it's on a console that has that power but nothing that PS4 owners screams for demand of needing high end graphics. Or at least that's how I see it for myself.
As for Spiderman, I think people are just excited for a new spiderman game that's actually fun (gamplay wise, not graphics) because there hasn't been on in awhile. I know alot of people haven't played a good Spiderman game since PS1 or PS2?
