Seen good ones, seen some shit ones. Kid was the latter. Point?

 

That kid is fucking incredible and you need some glasses.

Post after post in...shall we say, certain, threads....describing a game as 'amazing' whilst only talking about its graphics. 

 

Completely dismaying. 

 

Here's a challenge to anyone saying X game is amazing: tell me how but without reference to its graphics.

[Bazjam]

Looks good to me.

CUT YOUR OWN MEAT BRAT

[barkbat]

It's an interesting and much needed change of tone for a series that was too relentlessly brutal and charmless.

 

It's more interesting than watching an anthropomorphic elephant get tortured anyway.

It looks better now, sticking the knife in. For whatever reason, it looked awful at the start. Can see just fine, ta.

You press X and then you kill a deer to impress your father. I have never had such a deep and meaningful relationship with my own father so I am tearing up right now.

It looks like a great reinvention of the series with more character depth, an interesting relationship, not just 'PRESS X AND SMASH SHIT' gameplay; but when you do smash shit, it's still visceral and brutal fun.

[Halo]

Do you think he hires the orchestra to do this every time he walks into a room?

[deerokus]

So it's a pure reboot. That looked interesting at least.

[Harrisown]

Looks like the killzone engine?

like until dawn used also and now Horizon

[Benny]

This remastered Skyrim is looking good.

[JohnC]

Oh, it's Bear!

[barkbat]

Barry bazzed it alright.

Look, graphics are obviously part of the experience. You can't completely discount them, otherwise we'd all flog our high end PCs and play Risk instead.

Jesus Christ, why are we talking about a massacre at videogame conference? 

[Illyria]

Bear McCreary, damn!

Well, at a press conference we don't have a huge amount to go on, and graphics are a big part of what we do have, and those graphics were fucking phenomenal.

 

But apart from that I thought the combat looked nicely visceral, and I thought that the little story between the man and his son was amazing. I'd look forward to more of that quality of storytelling in the final game.

[HarryBizzle]

I'm impressed with the direction they've taken GoW in. Seem to have changed the style of gameplay considerably. How fun it will be remains to be seen, but I'm interested.

[tnman]

Sony only going for an hour tonight? Last year they were a solid two if memory recalls.

[Benny]

I do like talking.

[Robo_1]

Oh awesome, new Bend.

[MDY]

So either Kratos or the kid to die then.. the other going for revenge..

[Comrade]

Last of Us 2?!

[Benny]

WHAT IS THIS

[Robo_1]

Getting a Last Of Us vibe from this.

It's so obvious that it doesn't need saying.

 

The point is that increasingly you see a lot of talk about videogames that LARGELY is a conversation about how good the game looks. 

 

Good graphics are not compelling gameplay, for fuck's sake. It's so annoying to see gamers selling gaming short for the sake of NOICE GRAPHICS. 

 

If a game is actually a good game, i.e. a thing that you play then you should be able to talk about with the visuals coming last in the conversation. 

[Illyria]

This looks gooooood, I am intrigued 

[JohnC]

I hope Jax with his "shit my pants" walk appear.

[MDY]

Ride to Hell Retribution sequel?
