Graphics = Shadows,Lighting,Softshadows and most importantly Textures and a few other thigns,You can have an entire game with nothing moving and have awesome graphics.


I don't agree, I share the wider perspective on graphics, this includes a solid (or not) framerate, physics, activity on screen, overwhelming enemies, art direction, etc. Everything which can help with making a game vissually stunning.

As in audio is IMO everything you hear from a game including proper timing, being dynamic or not, etc, not only the amount of used channels or lossy or lossless nature of the audio.

Heres how it is..

 

Animation,framerate,physiscs,activity on screen,overwhelming enems,art direction all are Art form,Now art form is more important than Graphics,but there not graphics.


@jo21 i agree.

From an American dictionary:

computer graphics

1. The set of technologies used to create art with computers.
2. Art or designs created using such technologies.

Wikipedia defines it as: "The term computer graphics includes almost everything on computers that is not text or sound."



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

Its like this,You know how statues are made and people claim there an piece of "art"work,well thats the same case here.

 

If they had a game with crysis graphics,no animations but all first person view,no shooting,nothing that game would have good graphics.
