I stopped getting ‘wowed’ by graphics during the ps3’s life cycle. Then again, I grew up when games were transitioning from 2d, to 3d. I think there are diminishing returns on how good you can make a game look and how much time and resources you can spend before it becomes a waste.

As long as a game meets what’s been standard for the last decade or so, a developer’s attention should focus on other things.

He’s 1/2 right but…. this is how marketing works.

Pretty graphic gets them in the door, game play gets them to stay. If your game looks like shit…cough…. Concord…. cought. No one will even come in to try it.
