the fact that everybody and their mama is drooling over and raving about the many technical achievements of GTAVI should put an end to the ridiculous misconception that people don't appreciate graphics as much as they used to, or graphics don't matter anymore, or not everyone has the technical understanding to care about visuals.
if people can understand framerates and appreciate 60fps, they can most certainly appreciate the technicality of the visuals in GTAVI, which is not as subtle as FPS, it's so in your face that even the least technical people among us are marvelling at the trailer
it's just that people have been deprived, if not robbed of, the pleasant experience of witnessing generational graphical leaps because of the insatiable FPS crowd and the talentless , passionless, and sad state of the industry. much easier to appease those people than to upgrade engines or look for talented and passionate people , just downgrade and slap an FPS upgrade on the game
and before you say that FPS is more important , let me remind you that it is the consoles and their limitations and the striving for great visuals that is pushing the envelope of visuals and even the frontiers of this broken industry and also until this gen, even some experienced gamers couldn't discern any difference between a stable 30fps and 60fps.
people prefer FPS over visuals because they just don't see any such worthwhile visual showcases anymore, so they say we might as well get higher FPS instead
ask anyone who has played Crysis, KZ2 or games of such visual calibre, if they would go back and trade the visuals for better FPS on their console!
so you tell me that in AAA gaming, between great great visuals such GTAVI's which 99 percent of people absolutely LOVED , ...and the relatively less significant FPS upgrade, which one do you think enhances your experience more and makes for a far more pleasant experience?
