Not every game NEEDS 1080p/60fps, I agree… I only harp about it because that one of the big promises of the “next-gen” was that every game would be able to do so easily.
Tell me, what are developers doing that can’t be done on a 360/PS3? Because all I’m seeing are the exact same games from last gen, just shinier… "Ooh, now the gun barrel I’m staring down is more realistic than ever! Can’t wait to wander down more gray and brown hallways!"
Oh wait, No Man’s Sky and Arkham Knight look good, so there’s a couple of counter-points you can toss at me from the sea of Halos, Ass Creed, and Madden clones that are coming out.
Graphics are everything… So I guess a game like Shovel Knight is ass because it uses pixel art graphics. Fuck how it plays-- I just want my interactive movies to look as pretty as possible.
Come on, Hecatom… as someone who plays fighters, I would expect you to value the way the game plays over more and shinier textures… :bluu:
Graphics sells, period.
You have to be a delusional dumbfuck to believe otherwise. Is obvious that the majority of developers will focus on prettier graphics if it means an edge on how much they will sell.
If anything blame the general public that is happy with prettier graphics instead of fluid gameplay.
As for me, there are genres where i think that 60fps is a must (racing, fighting games, sports) for others i really don’t give a fuck as long as the game plays well, yes 60fps is preferable, but not a must depending on the genre.
Apparently Sony and Microsoft promised consoles capable of doing the work for developers, rather than giving them the option to use the tools of which they were giving Harping on 1080p/60 fps is really dumb, especially to people who have no idea whats going on in the dev room, no idea the glitches/logistic problems this brought with the looks of the game, time, etc…
Its better to wait UNTIL developers are experienced programming on the new consoles and are able to abuse the power they put out, or did you bitch about the way timesplitters looked on the ps2, and why nobody was making shit that looked like toy story.
You also forgot that they didn’t promise all these shit during those days.
Before these new consoles even came out every fucking developer was promising 1080P/60fps day one.
On this topic of improved graphics vs gameplay. I would personally take the gameplay. As long as the game isn’t ugly or doesn’t look "unfinished’ then its fine. To be honest jumps aren’t gonna be like snes to n64, and ps3 to ps3. That much. In fact I wouldn’t mind if games capped at ps3 graphics, as long as they are fun and play well I don’t trip that much
I mean right now Im playing Xenoblade, and it does look like a late ps2 game, but if it had MGS4 graphics I would definitely appreciate it, but it’s not gonna change the gameplay. And sacfiricing stuff for graphics is pretty bad, Square specifically said the reason why there was no towns or exploration on FF13 is because they wanted to keep those graphics, which in turned sacrificed a whole world map, exploration and world interaction completely
There are some games that I wouldn’t play due to being ugly, well not exactly wouldn’t play, but they don’t look enticing i would say. but its more of a art style as opposed to graphics.
Not the case for every dev. Insomniac is on record saying they stopped making their games at 60fps because having them at 30FPS doesn’t affect their games sales and review scores. If majority of their customers and critics don’t give a shit why should they?
its funny seeing people worry about 60fps when im worrying if the PC im building will be able to maintain at the very least 150fps
btw that ps4 gtaV upgrade looks fantastic, I wouldn’t be surprised if the game felt completely different on ps4
its interesting that people see the rainbow six seige demo and claim no game plays like that. if they bothered to learn how to play rainbow six vegas (with a good team) the experience is exactly fucking like that.
Can’t hate the guy’s hustle. For every one of him (youtube/internet personality) there are just as many white collar criminals getting rich off of ponzi schemes and other manners of fraud, except you don’t hear about the latter group.
Going by the description of that guys videos, he’s just catering to his target audience, which is what? The pre-teen 8-12 year old demographic? Kids are stupid, they don’t know how to use adblock. But they’re also human and people like watching things that mirror themselves, which in this case appears to be screaming while playing video games.
Eh, I’m not a fan of his videos, but I’m not going to assume he didn’t work hard/smart to get where he got. He found an audience and continued to constantly release videos for that audience and keep them there.
A lot of people in the world work really hard, not a reason to discredit someone’s success especially when we don’t really see the time behind it. At least that’s the way I look at things…
Edit oh yea…anyone know anything about this? It came out today on PSN…side scrolling beat em up
I’ve been following this a little bit, hoping that it would be cool, but after seeing gameplay I’m really not so sure. I haven’t played it myself either, waiting for more opinions
