The bad
-Little kids will be unable to tell the difference between reality and fiction, and its quite obvious about the side effects of this is.
It's a GAME, you control your actions with a remote control on a TV, if little kids are playing GTA and they can't tell the difference between reality and a game I doubt they have the required age of 18
-Having graphics look like real life in games like GTA and fighter games really will make kids grow up to be serial killers. Think about it, if graphics have evolved that good doesn't that also mean the gameplay has also evolved that way? It will actually feel like your murdering peope and for the people who are corrupted by it and think its fun will grow up into criminals.
You will never have the feeling of killing someone in a video game, say if you were playing hitman and you had to slit a guys throat from behind, you press a button, you don't crawl along your living room carpet, and quickly slide a knife through their throat, feeling blood flow over your hand and their body spasm as they die. If games let you do that, they would be murder simulators.
-Real life SSB, mario, sonic and zelda would be just downright strange.
On those cartoon style characters they do not have high detail, thats the point. They would never make a kirby game where kirby is more than a pink blob.
-The future generations will lose all respect for the orignal marios, zeldas, metroids, Metal gear solids, Resident evils, sonics, SSB's, etc.
So? teenagers like shitty soulja boi, not good music, you can't force an opinion on anyone.
- It would be nearly impossible for games like the Metroid series to be side scrollers.
-Flash games would lose their appeal and people would give up on making flash because they know they compete. So newgrounds would ultimately lose and go out of business several years later.
No, I for one play flash games because they are simple, often very addictive and fun, and FREE, not like some of the new £50 games being released
-Gore. What about the people who don't mind gore that much that just get really grossed out if their is shit loads of blood? If the game is supposedly real looking then if you get shot in the stomach people who don't like blood, are scared of blood or people who just don't like shit loads of blood wouldn't find that very pleasent. After all, its supposed to look real.
If someone has a fear of blood, they won't buy a game which clearly states on the box it contains violence and/or gore, if you had an allergy to peanuts you wouldn't stuff them in your mouth knowing it isn't going to be pleasent.
-Headaches are almost a given. So what if it looks real like? Its still animation therefore you still will get headaches from prolonged exposure to it, if not more so because their brains are trying to take in every little detail in the characters, weapons, landscape, etc straining their brains even more so. Plus the more something feels similar to real life combined with having lots of fun makes you lose track of time so you are more likely to play hours longer than you would normally, and that doesn't provide any benefits for you.
What are you, a scientist? I have never gotten a headache from a videogame, maybe I would if I spent hours infront of the TV without blinking and playing Halo 3, but high detail does not cause any damage to you and I would like to see some proof that it does
-Ceasers for obvious reasons.
If you mean seizures then you're an idiot, again, if it contains a huge amount of flashing lights (which almost no games do) it will come with some sort of warning, if you watch television and flash photography is going to appear on screen you are warned before it happens.
-Lasting eye and brain damage. Some people will lose track of the difference between reality and fantasy and will lose their minds and their minds will deteroate. You think it would be better for your eyes since it looks like real life? Wrong, if anything its worse for your eyes considering its still animation your starring at and its full of rich detail. Whats worse is that this eye, brain and mind damage may not disappear when you stop playing, it may last years after you lose the obsession with real life looking games.
THEIR MINDS WILL DETEROATE? Thats just fucking stupid, you won't get an obsession with the graphics of a game, I can't believe how stupid you are.
The good
-For those who lose their legs or whatever for some reason when their like 30 they can expirence their previous enjoyment in life by playing real looking golf or whatever.
-Racing and other driving games could prepare kids for when they start driving and thus making the kids that just got their license a lot more expirenced.
Driving games NEVER require as much driving skill as a real vehicle, that takes half the point out of playing a VIDEO GAME
-War games and such would provide suffient military and stealth mission trainning.
Yeah, all those WWII style games will prepare soilders for fighting in Iraq, war games are NOTHING like the real thing, thye don't make war games about the current war on terror because that would be shit, they stick to WWII because there is alot of conflict.
-Amazing sex games for people who have the misfourante of being unable to get some themselves or for the pervs.
Only in Asia would ANY shit like that be released, the SMALL sex mini game in GTA:SA was enough to make Rockstar create completely different discs, plus it was hidden and very few people could access it if they wanted to.
-Survival horror games like resident evil and Silent hill will become purely epic.
Doesn't that conflct with your other point about making little kids think it's real? If they saw someone staggering down the street they might think it's a zombie according to your logic.
-Sport games will help kids who are either physically unfit or handicaped to feel the thrils of Baseball, skateboarding, etc.
If they are fit enough to play wii tennis they can do the real thing, if you mean sports on a joystick then there is none of the thrill from playing for real.
What do you think? I personally believe real life looking graphics will be more bad than good.
I believe you're stupid
