Damn is it really that good?DementedDragon

You haven't played it? :shock:

Would you want your plane to be caught and saved from certain doom from a guy just called "man."

[QUOTE="JetLag123"]I wouldnt go as far as to call them a gimmick, they compliment a game very wellsexy_luigi

gimmicks are things that get old fast, and thats exactly what graphics are. You're wowed in the begining but then you dont care once you're in the game-thats why graphics are a gimmick

If graphics are unimportant, then why does the Wii have them at all? Such a shallow gimmick shouldn't even exist. After all, we stop caring about them at all after we 'get into' the game, right?

Why does the Wii have any graphical advancement at all over the Gamecube? Why not have it be like the Gamecube? Or if graphics are so unimportant, why not revert to 2D, to make it more accessible to others? Why don't we just play text adventures, which have no graphics, dispensing of that 'gimmick' altogether?

If you're going to say that graphics don't matter at all, you'd better be prepared to defend the argument to its extreme.

you can take any argument to its extreme but it still doesnt take away from the main point. We've reached a level, where little improvements in graphics are worthless. Sure its nice to see some extra bump mapping here and there, but all the bells and whistles that come with next gen are a gimmick. you look at the graphics, you say okay nice, and then you play the game and completely forget about how awesome the game initially looked. thats whats a gimmick for me. :) 

But games like Crysis and Mass Effect depend on graphics to influence gameplay.  Facial reactions play an important role in how you interact with people, crowds, ambience, AI all depend on sufficient hardware.  Crysis' level of physical deformationa nd destruction makes it unlike any shooter out there, I don't know about you, but I can't destroy an entire house in FEAR if the guys inside it are pissing me off, but I will in Crysis.  I can't track someone through brush that's realistically swaying from their recent passing in Far Cry, but I will in Crysis, I can't make a roadblock that forces the AI enemies to get out of their vehicle and try to clear in Far Cry etc. 

wait... i get it. He/she means the light on the power button being orange. FrankGlasses

Wait, you guys didn't get this?  What are we arguing about?  the Blue light? :lol:

[QUOTE="doffythebest"]Orange? Is that even possible?FrankGlasses

Um, yes.

Too hard to switch an LED?

I love how you left out the good in SSX BLUR :lol:

GOOD: Cartoon-character look fits the game; learning curve is mostly spot-on; basic controls are excellent; great music.

why dont you just be a good lemming and say you been owned

Why would he admit to something untrue?  His point hasn't been proven wrong.  I say, continue this.

Orange? Is that even possible?doffythebest

Um, yes.

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"][QUOTE="PS3_FTW"][QUOTE="web966"]The graphics in SPM look great. :|Zerostatic0

Maybe if it were on DS, but 2D done well on a console no longer looks good or bad, its simply adequate or poorly implemented.

Little Big Planet is 3D. Like I said, the difference now is that on a console, 2D graphics either get the job done or don't, you can't look at them and say their good. Viewtiful joe is also 3D.

SPM is pseudo 2d/3d, and if you look at those and say they're good, you have to realize good is relative. It can be done on the DS, does that mean their poor? No, just that they're unimpressive because they don't even try.

2D gameplay =/= 2D game.  Does NSMB have 2D graphics?  I'm commenting on graphics.  LBP is a graphically stunning game, while SPM isn't.

Well, I don't care about all of those games anyway. I mean, let's face it; Super Paper Mario and SSBB will pwn.aaronfilmltd

So because 2 games MIGHT be good, its okay for other games to suck?
