Graphics

[Schmackama]

Are graphics really what make a great game?

I mean graphics really aren't that important to me, bercause I look at gameplaay instead. I asked someone I know what they thought and they said graphics are the most important thing for a game.

I say to him that he would rather play a game with the best graphics in the world but horrible gameplay vs a game with mediocre graphics with great gameplay.... he walked away angry after that.

But what do the people of Newgrounds say? are graphics all that important?

It's simple.
Once you see great graphics, and play a game with them for quite awhile, you get used to it.
Going back is to hard. So a lot of people need good graphics, because they've seen it done, so why can't every game be that way?
And there is a difference in games with goof Graphics compared to bad ones.
Nintendo games are simple, with simple graphics, and pretty fun. Games with more complicated graphics seem to have more complicated game play, with different features. Well, more realistic features. I like games with good graphics, but of course they gotta have good fame play. So any game with good game play and the right theme I'll enjoy. So it's all one big Mixture.

The End

As Nintendo has shown us for the past 20 years, Gameplay is always better than graphics.

Honestly, I'd rather play a solid, well designed 8-bit game than a fancy PS3 Game that plays like a dog turd.

Are Graphics a plus? Yes. Should they improve? Sure. Are they essential? Hell no.

graphics enchance the game experience but if the gameplay and story suck graphics provide nothing.

I don't think the graphics are the more importart thing for a game, I don't think the story is that important either, what I really care about is the gameplay becouse thats what videogames are all about, they are games, you are supoused to have fun playing them, but thats my opinion

[ThePhantomGamer]

No. Not in a long shot. Good game play makes a game good.

[SniperWolf1564]

According to these guys, yes.

Otherwise, figure no.

No, but honestly if i'm playing a PS3 game with shit graphics i'd notice. I noticed Bully's graphics on the PS2 were horrible and that affected overall experience.

They're trolling.

That didn't actually happen. Shut up.

Guys, quit acting like if graphics and sound went back to 8-bit you wouldn't be pissed. I mean really.

The only reason anybody says "Graphikz aren't important at all, it's GAMEPLAY THAT IMPORTANT!!!1" is so somebody can respond with "HELLZ YEAH THIS GUY IS A TRUE GAMAR".

Graphics change game play.
Graphics change game play.
Graphics change game play.

I love Nintendo games, I really do.
But when you look at the programming it goes with the graphics. Simple, few buttons, easy to play. Now look at Fallout 3? Do to the great graphics, they added much more detail to the programing and things you can do. Nintendo games usually last much longer, and are great to play for a long time. So yes that ups them a lot, plus it's easy to add multiplayer with "Simple" games.

Now remember, "Simple" is not a bad thing at all.
Graphics change game play, and some people want real =
-Real Graphics [ Better Graphics ]
-More little details and physics.
[Real, but a normal human would never be in the situation. Such as WWII and A a nuke hitting the world.]

Then there is people looking for something that is different, something that is easy to enjoy, that's not human, =
- Doesn't need good graphics.
[Good graphics = Real looking]
Picture Mario running around a WWII scene, shooting people in the face with blood going everywhere, and the sound of real gun shots going off beside him and bombs dropping.
Some people don't want that.
For some it's actually stressful.

I would not want to play a Mario game based in WWII, with no blood, and weird gun sounds.

So in the end graphics add more to a game, but can also ruin a game because when you're told a game is meant to be "Realistic", and it's not. The you're going to pick out every detail that was wrong.

But one day, good graphics will collide with perfect game play.
No glitches, no errors, but we just need to wait.

And with that,
I could play Mario Tennis all night long, and I don't even like tennis.
Thank you Mario, thank you.

18 Year old that got a Ps3 from his parents and has no job to afford games?

Anyone who has a wii tells me that, and I did too, until I got a 360 and graphics make the game, I hardly notice the game play for the most part because I'm thinking this looks fucking great.

Although I have graphics and game play.

Let's conclude the wii really does, fucking suck.

word, but i like it pretty realistic, i like when its good graphics but if the gameplay sucks then well.. then i wont play the game. but graphics is a big +

[mwmike]

In my opinion graphics are quite important since they can amaze people more easily than good gameplay though gameplay and physics are far more important. I'd rather play a game with terrible graphics and brilliant gameplay than I would one with terrible gameplay and physics and amazing graphics.
