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.

When it comes down to it, graphics have only come into games recently.

In the days of Spectrum and others, graphics weren't an issue, it was the game.

Amiga, Sega and Nintendo pushed the graphics bar higher but the gameplay was the issue still.

Nowadays, we see amazing graphics and good gameplay but graphics has taken over as the think that has the most impact on people.

I personally look to the gameplay as the key issue when I choose a game although graphics are always a good bonus.
