every game is a piece of ART, some more realistic than others. But its all the same

Realistic games are like FF, Killzone, Halo, etc.

If that's true then I'm more reassured than ever the games are anything but realistic.

Generally I only prefer games try to be realistic in simple practical ways. Such as if I'm playing a highly trained bad-ass with super human skills, he should be able to jump over waist high picket fences. =P

Aside from that I usually prefer games avoid presenting themselves as realistic as in my experience is only serves to make inevitable absurd aspects of video games extremely annoying. Like how in Rainbow Six Vegas “realistic” mode translates to “shoot in the head from 100 yards through a smokescreen with a shotgun” mode.

both as long as the game is GOOD

What's the game in the second pic of artistic pics you posted? That looks interesting.

 I believe it was from one of the Tales game. I would pick a picture of Trusty Bell, but people would accuse me of being biased toward only Next-gen console. ;)

The Truth is, you don't need next gen for a game to look great. But you can get next gen garbage too.

I think each style has it's own place.

Where does a game like BioShock pigeonhole itself? It's a fair mix of both.

I always thought if Bioshock as more realistic game than artistic.

 


 Bioshock is as realistic as a game can get. It's futuristic and fictional, but it's meant to look real. Just check out some of the awesome water effects.

Artistic all the way. Photorealism is boring. If I wanted photorealism, I'd go outside. (And, before you say something, I often do. ;) )



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
