Graphic Whores are back

I thought we were done with this sh** 4 years ago. Almost every thread here is about how this game looks better than this game. Seriously get over it because there is not going to be a quantum leap in graphics like in this generation. Maybe some of you Graphic Whores didn't get the memo: Gameplay>Graphics! :D
 
It's a good thing you created this thread... really you've definitely brought everyone down from their graphic induced high... kudos.
 
What the fuck do you expect when a bunch of new systems have been announced?
 
we have been spoiled by...

I assume you're talking about DOA4... well... if you want to talk gameplay... it plays the exact same way as DOA 2, which was released in what... 1998? They keep rehashing the same game for every new generation... it's incredible really...
 
WAIT WAIT WHAT!

You mean people are only discussing graphics when all they have to talk about is some screenshots?!

GET THE FUCK OUT!

I always thought graphics worship was a standard of this forum. You mean there was a time when it wasn't?

It kinda stopped for while when we began outing peeps who were graphic whoring all the time :lol

Yup, all they had to fall back on was graphics...and now they can't going by what DOA4 looks like. I rember lots of people saying, "Man, I don't like DOA3 but I'll buy it to show off the XBox"....haha, I'd like to see them do that with Xbox 1.5.
 
My friend has ruined my thinking and I've got to retrain myself to actually like THE GAMES. I booted up MGS: Substance and all I could think about was how the picture wasn't clear, or Snake's rain slicker was not detailed enough... I was being stupid. I'm trying not to be like that as we go into the next generation....

Gameplay + better graphics = more enjoyment. Everyone appreciates better, cleaner, smoother eye candy. Get over yourself and quit the with the weak damage control..

Good we are in agreement, Gameplay = better graphics = More enjoyment. But its one thing when everyone is talking about graphics and passing jugdement on a game based on screenshot. What damage control are you talking about :lol
 
They never left. Much like the Sith, they have been lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike. Generation transitions are the perfect time.

:lol :lol :lol :lol
 
SSX hit it on the head. How are we supposed to accurately judge anything other than graphics by screen shots? If, for instance, Tecmo released information on new DoA gameplay aspects, there'd be cheers and jeers about that too. Would that make us gameplay whores?

Just a question, do you have a DS?
 
I'm actually a graphics whore in an accepting diguise. I pretend to like PS2 games, but I really, really don't. :P Xbox graphics is the only way now. :) Oh, and there's also a Ninty h8er in here. :D
 
Wait a minute, the graphic whores from this gen who call PS2 titles bland and get pissed off when Xbox gets a PS2 port are now bitching?! :lol :lol :lol
 
Like it or not there is a little "graphics whore" in everyone. Graphics are an important part of the overall package that no one likes to admit for fear of being superficial.....just like in real life! :lol
 
Shit, graphics is the number one thing you look at when it comes to a new console.


Gameplay is way down the list, at least at first. ;)

Guess the memo never got to joo.
 
The worst is the people who, even though a game may have awesome graphics, criticize the artstyle. I don't have to name names but I am sure you all know a few here. :p
 
Who gives a crap everything is gonna look almost the same in a few years.., and Im sure we can all agree when something looks like complete garbage, like that wipeoutesqe game that was for xbox360 that didnt have a publisher. Its just ridiculous little details... "DUDE MAN THE RAIN IS AWESOME IT DRIBBLES DOWN HIS ABS AND JUST MAKES ME HOTTTT" who gives a shit.

The only thing we can be graphic whores about is computer games... because they wont look the same on everyones computer :D
 
I'm just glad everyone stuck with their SNES's and Genesis and didn't give a crap about graphics.

Oh wait.

Immersion in a game is what most people are looking for, and that is a combonation of graphics and gameplay. A really good game will have both, an average or mediocore game will have only one or the other.

Would I be totally excited if the new Zelda game looked like OoT? No, I would be pretty dissappointed along with alot of other people. Will I be dissappointed if RE4 for PS2 does not look as good as the Gamecube, yea I will. I won't be too upset because I already played the Gamecube version. In fact I wanted to play it from the moment I saw the first magazine scans. And I would bet the same thing ran through everyones minds when they first saw the scans, "wow that looks awesome". I doubt the first thought for anybody was "Wow the gameplay". Will the same people who are in here screaming graphics whore be right there picking on the RE4 PS2 version for not looking as good as the Gamecube version. Yup.

It is a videogame, it isnt supposed to give you a visual orgasm is it?

Uhh...yes. Yes it is. Especially since it's a next-gen videogame and supposed to blow away everything we've seen before. That's not happening yet, for me anyway (although I've my hopes high for PD0, at least).
 
Well, if they're going to be charging higher prices for games next-gen, I demand stuff that I simply can't conceive of having on my current consoles.

There's no way I'm paying a premium price for something that looks like those DOA4 shots.

Ummmm, there will be a significant difference, and I stress significant, between this generation and next generation. What you mean by quantum leap, I have no idea, but if you don't think there will be a big difference, well - you're full of crap. :lol
 
Well, I think he was trying to say this isn't going to be like the last generation jump. If the Xbox 360 shows a leap in graphics like the DC did, then I probably won't be able to hold off buying it. The first time I played Soul Calibur, I couldn't believe my eyes. I very much doubt this scenario though. And I've become much more jaded since then too.
 
I expect the leap to be smaller too..but I'd demand a lot more than I'm seeing thusfar. I certainly think it's possible.

Again, though, we should probably wait for the PGR3s and PD0s of this world (though seeing a Team Ninja title like that is definitely disappointing and confusing).
 
I don't know about you guys but I still play SOCOM II on a regular basis and I'm more than ready for the graphical upgrades of next generation.

Even though SOCOM 3 is coming out, newer usually equals better in most cases.
 
There will be a huge difference. Just as huge as last gen from now. But your EYES may not see a difference just as huge.
Your brain will still find Ninja Gaiden good looking because there's a minimum of quality that you are at ease with. This will lessen the wow effect a bit.
There could be double the graphics, double the effect, double everything but you may not FEEL as it is 2 times better. I believe that those DOA4 shots are next gen. For a first year 360 game (prolly rushed) and because it's on new hardware i can accept that quality.
It does not represent how good looking next-gen games will be able to look later of course.
 
No no no. The leap will be just as big as before, but maybe your eyes just aren't trained to see it.

Textures will be far more detailed.
Far more geometry will be available. This will help backgrounds to look far more realistic.
Shader effects will allow far more realistic lighting, shadows and special effects

And those are just a few examples.

You guys are so damn jaded I swear.

WTF? Wyzdom quit tapping into my brain!

I have to disagree with Wyzdom on the DOA shots though.
 
Well, I don't think anyone is debating the figures and specs will be that much better. But it really is all about how much better it looks to our own two eyes. I just hope PD0 pleasantly surprises me. I've been waiting for that game since the original came out.
