Whoa there! I think we should be careful to make a distinction here. Are you talking about art style and general appearance, or the technology? I've always figured graphics means the technology behind a game, while if it looks good you just say it looks good, or has great visuals. Is this the general perception, or just me? Gears of War for instance has the technologically most advanced graphics out there, but it looks like shit. Cell-shaded games from last gen like Okami, Viewtiful Joe and Wind Waker all had technologically inferior graphics, but still blow my eyeballs out. I definitely agree SSBB and MP3 look a helluva lot nicer than Blue Dragon or Halo 3, but in all fairness they would definitely look even greater with Xbox 360 hardware power. Of course HD graphics and Nintendo developers is a winning combination we're going to have to wait for next gen to see. =P |
I don't mean the graphics as in power, I mean as in it just looks better as in the art, for example I still think Twilight Princess has the best graphics out there, not horse power, just the game looks amazing.
But also a bit of both, Halo 3 to me looks like crap, if these screens from MP3 were from an unnamed 360 game people wouldn't say 'Damn that games got bad graphics for a 360 game'.
People would say: 'Damn that game looks great'.
