Winner of best graphics of e3 2010 (GT)

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Stringerboy

Is. If they (GT) want to catch artistic and technical in the same visual award then then the only winner choice is Trine 2:

Meh its just a 2d game now i like 2d and it can certianly look nice but they just don't have the same WOW factor and don't impressive me the way that 3d game do.The best graphics should go to the game that combines great techinal power and great visual design to create an amazing looking game in which case i would have to pick Rage above the likes of killzone 3,crysis 2, and gears of war 3.

Um since when are Graphics and art style the same thing?? This best GRAPHICS of e3 = fail.

AmayaPapaya

They are rated under the same. Artstyle matters a lot in the way a game looks.

true dat

proof: a jumble of a billion polygons in random shapes, with super high res textures of just wood, super realistiic lighting that is as bright as the sun... good technical graphics, not good artisitc graphics. not good graphics.

I'm fine with this. People hype up tech more than the actual look of the game. It means nothing if there is tech but nothing pleasant to look at. Its pathetic most people in this thread don't get that concept.

in video game terms: Graphics is just the technical looks so I think that was a bad pick. For art style Kirby looked great but seriosuly it should've been Rage or Crysis 2

Word.

Only in small fanboy circles and places like System Wars do people use the word graphics to solely refer to a games technical graphics/graphics technology.

Read any games magazine, or visit any games site, where they rate a game on it's "graphics" and you will find in nearly 100% of the situations that the category of "graphics" takes into consideration BOTH a games art style AND technical aspects.

Here's just one example to back up my statement: "Graphics. How the game looks as well as technical issues like animation quality, texture design, and framerate." - http://uk.games.ign.com/ratings.html

From the largest professional games site on the entire Internet no less.

Notice how there are no separate categories for art sytle and technical graphics, just graphics which covers both.

If you can be bothered to go do some research you will see the same thing time and time again across the entire Internet and throughout the entire history of video games from the very earliest days of gaming.

Graphics on it's own, when used in the context of video games, most commonly refers to BOTH a games art sytle AND technical aspects.

Anyone who says otherwise is quite simply wrong.

If you specifically mean something else and want other people to understand that too then use either art sytle or technical graphics/graphics technology. Otherwise you are the one that's causing the problem and confusion.

GT has used the term "graphics" absolutely correctly and I am not confused in the slightest when they say that Kirby's Epic Yarn has the best graphics of E3 2010.

If you are confused by this then maybe it's time start asking if maybe you have been thinking of this wrong, rather than the other way around (but of coures...the whole Internet and games publications have been wrong for the last 30 years and you are right)...

Those are indeed some rather nice graphics.

Is insane, due the only merit in Kirby's Epic Yarn technical department is artistic, There's nothing awesome -resolution of the textures, postproccess, global lightning illumination, parallax mapping, object motion blur, facial motion capture, fx particles or physics... - in the technical department from the Nintendo games, specifically in this generation.Ondoval

Indeed. That's why Kirby EY won because of its styIe.

Which is great, since that shows how irrelevant all those "resolution of the textures, postproccess, global lightning illumination, parallax mapping, object motion blur, facial motion capture, fx particles or physics" are without a great artstyIe to back them up.

The thing is even worse -and more insulting- due Nintendo's is unable to push the boundaries of the software in any way, constantly making the same remakes of the same games time after time after time after time... Ondoval

That's not true. Nintendo as a dev and publisher has been outstanding this gen, with more than 40 games rated 80+ in metacritic. The 2 highest rated games (both Galaxies) are made by them.

So... ok, keep dreaming GT and sheeps, no one cares about Kirby's graphical wise. Ondoval

That's not true, either. Every preview of the game has stated how great it looks. Even GS nominated it for Best Graphics:o

So yeah, a lof of people care about how the game looks.

They really need to separate between Best Technical Graphics and Best Art Style...XenogearsMaster

Maybe.

But they don't.

That is precisely why they have used just the word "graphics" rather than "art style" or "technical graphics/graphics technology".

They are not scoring the separate elements that make up a game's graphics individually and I personally think that is completely obvious in the context of their award.

I'm fine with this. People hype up tech more than the actual look of the game. It means nothing if there is tech but nothing pleasant to look at. Its pathetic most people in this thread don't get that concept.

Holy hell, Killzone 3 makes Gears 3 look last-gen. It's not far behind Crysis 2.

Thank you for enlightening on this possible view point I was completely unaware of before you valiantly decided to point it out . . . . :roll:

For missing the entrie point of the post, I don't know what to say. I never said anything about the game being deserving, I said tech is not the same as a visually impressive game. People should not confuse the 2.

lol, epic yarn wins? has to be a joke.

I'm basing this opinion purely off the video in the OP from Gametrailers - you don't need the 'hands-on' opinions :|

Then atleast we're almost on the same page, I think it looks significantly better though.

We are not close to think the same.

I'm no a fan of overreactions. KZ3 looks better than GeoW3, period. But I'm not even close to believe that it looks signifcantly better, or that it makes GeoW3 look like a last gen game, because that's simply wrong.

Console Graphics King is on the Wii I see. :P
