This has been a well discussed topic, but I feel that after seeing the GC screenshots and videos, it's time to bring it to our attention once again.

My view is sort of....in between. I say that they both matter, and they have to work...with eachother.

I believe that all games need good gameplay, but most games need good graphics as well.

I mean, would N64 fans like Perfect Dark or Goldeneye so much if they had poor graphics??

Would I like MGS so much if it had poor graphics?? Probably.

Gameplay is more important, and graphics are also needed to improve the experience. Well, that's my opinion, anyway.

What are your views??

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Where do you think champ man will improve on in the future? Theres only one place it can improve and thats on the Graphics, So really it does need good Graphics (or graphics that get better each year) or it would be the same game appart from the players and no one will buy it.

What it comes down to is this. Would you rather have gameplay with adequate graphics or graphics with adequate gameplay?

Only top quality games have the best of both.

it depends on what game you are playing as some games dont need great graphics to be good (like champ manager), whereas some games with great graphics have no gameplay (rise of the robots)

If a game has no graphics then there would be nothing on the TV screen which would make it fairly difficult to play!

If a game had no Gameplay it would be a Movie or a short film, If a game had No Graphics it would leave the screen/your TV blank.
