@shenhua1337 @emerin76 I do remember when games were rated on each feature seperately in magazines...maybe they still are, but I haven't bought a magazine since 1998...rating graphiics, sounds, gameplay, replayability etc etc which formed the overall score. Should bring that back. ONE number for the whole doesn't reflect accurately.
Selling nothing. Just that the highest selling home computer of the 80s, the C64, would not have been capable of replicating these graphics. While the NES did have something like 48 colours, that too would struggle to recreate this. Just check out the lighting. The Amiga, well we know that was in a league of it's own and more than capable. ( I love the Amiga)
I'll have to disagree with you on the monochrome games having more style. But we're kind of debating art here. Some people like classical music, others don't. Fair enough.
The reason one would create in this style would be personal preference. Why use oil paints when you can use acrylics? *shrugg* Personal preference.
Nowhere in the article are the graphics praised or mentioned that they're 'good'. Somehow I feel you're personally insulted by this article. Sorry to hear that, and I hope you get over it.
@senjutsu @TerrorRizzing I see this argument of lack of apps...how many photo editors do people want? hheh and most apps are just websites in an app. Ok Ok, there is at least 1 true app on my wifes iPad that I want but isn't available on my Surface RT...anyway....
@senjutsu @FallenOneX yeah the OS takes up 16 gig. However you can slot a micro sd, and there's a usb port also for thumb drives, portable HDs ...or whatever
I love those graphics! People thinking these aren't better than the 80s...just look at the amount of colours. What did the C64 have? 16 colours? The pallete they've used is alot more that 16 colours...whatever.
