16 bit graphics for the win.

The reason they do that, is because people like pretty things. Image is a large portion of everything we do in life. If people diddnt give a shit about how they looked then we would all have greasy hair and hobo clothes.

Grafics are pretty to be pretty because new things allow it to be pretty. If you can do something to make a game better, why not do it because *you* dont like it?

If they perfected totally immersive VR, and hard wired it right into my brain so it was the pinnacle of real/perfect graphics. I still wouldn't play a game called "SMASH YOUR PEN0R WITH A HAMMER 3".

I don't buy games for the graphics, I buy them for thier playability/fun. Good graphics is just a bonus. I'm playing Icewind Dale 2 right now, and it's fun as fuck, and its over 2 years old.

BY all means, they can go ahead and do as they please. They have far more money and far more political/industrial power than I could ever hope to have. Doesnt mean Ill buy the product, though. This is all just my opinion on the matter.

And SDM, exactly. I love older games, and I fully endorse games who have a purpose for having a buttfucking nuts graphics engine/physics engine, like Fable. Ive mastered the art of MGS, and have Memorized what to do in FF7. FF6 still is high on my list.

The reason I dislike these games, is cause there really isnt an incentive to play them. Im not being told a story that I couldnt have imagined on my own, and Im just being subjected to the run of the mill blast-a-thon and governmental conspiracy.

Then again, Im an RPG bitch.

Eh, its an fps, what are you gonna do.

FPS = shoot things with as good graphics as you can get.

How else are they gonna sell the game? Assure you the gameplay is enjoyable?

Then give squaresoft one for xenogears. RPG's dont get better den dis (playing it right now...again). Its also ugly as sin....especially in todays standards. Excellent game though.

You just don't get it, those graphics are now the standard for games coming out, just like 8-16 bit were 15 years ago.

By your same logic, one could say "The LOTR movies sucked, because they used really good specially effects as a medium to tell their story"

'

Why should you make a game look like shit when you have the ability to make it look better? Shouldn't they be trying to make it look as good and play as good as possible?

Sorry Spee, but your logic sucks.

Incorrect. I said that I dont mind games who have a reason for a good graphics engine, not to just be pretty for pretty's sake. LOTR had a lot of stuff incapable/far too expensive to be made as a prop.

And Dhark, making a game that looks like shit and a game that almost mandates a 200+ dollar upgrade to your computer to enjoy a "Feature" the game was tagged with are two entirely separate things.

This is the Console player in me talking. The graphics are a gimmick. Would you all probably be just as excited as you all are for this game if it had, oh, I dunno, the MP2 Engine running it? Probably, but it wouldnt change the gameplay, or the way you played the game. Its just unecessary.

And Dhark, even if my logic does suck, Im not about to change it. Im a stubborn, if stupid, bastard

Im not a fanboy ive played and liked the Doom game alot of people have. Secondly, Fanboys or not Doom III is still a good game. As long as the gameplay is good, graphics dont make a game fun.

Setari · 2004-07-21, 11:52 AM

The graphics aren't really just a gimmick in Doom 3. With such fancy visuals they can convey a stronger sense of fear and desperation than something not so great-looking. I don't think I'll be getting the game but that's because I freak out easy.
