| Bodhesatva said: I think it's clear where the dividing line is, other than fanboys who simply parrot what their console of choice dictates. Some people care about immersion and story telling. For those goals, graphics are quite important (examples: Final Fantasy, Gears of War). Some people care about gameplay so much more than anything else, that graphics are nearly irrelevant (examples: Tetris, Starcraft). It just depends on your personal preferences. |
I... couldn't disagree more. I care very much about storytelling.
I think the focus first on graphics has killed storytelling in a lot of ways... of which the biggest example of is the Final Fantasy series.
Playing strong to one area weakens all other areas. In terms of storybased games it makes more sense to focus most on the story, not the graphics. Keep Ps2 level graphics and hire some real writiers and voiceactors.
