| Porcupine_I said: Can anyone still keep track on how many times the Graphics/fps vs fun argument has switched sides on the console fronts this generation? |
I was fine with Splatoon coming out with limited content and free updates at a reduced pricepoint, because what was there was polished.
It delivered on smooth 60fps almost all the time and the art style and visual presentation was pleasing even if it wasn't technically the most advanced.
I think that is what most people are talking about when they say 'gameplay over visuals' while hitting the highest resolutions and prettiest details isn't requirement as long as the gameply is good, a balance is expected and graphics have to be at least good enough to not get in the way of gameplay either. To come back to my Splatoon example: If they had just pushed it out with their dummy 'soy-block' graphics I would NOT have been happy with the game at all.
FPS is part of gameplay though and does not sit on the graphics side of the argument.
