Yes, this is Bonus having a rant at people hassling me again. I am sick fed up of people coming out with "It's just the gameplay that counts" when it comes to looking at games for systems which are not out yet or games which are not due out for several months. At these stages in a game's development, the looks are all we have to give us an idea at the technical merit of the game. So when I want to pull the video's which Game has shown me of Starfox Adventures to shreds because Rare are "cheating with their effects to fool people into thinking the game looks good, I shall and I most definatly will, does the Gameplay matter 8-10 months away from the UK release, emm, no, because you can't pick up and play a screenshot.
So if it comes down to comparing the technical merits and graphics of a screenshot, I will look at various aspects of the graphics, the abilities of the console and more importantly the developer to decide whether or not I am interested in the game, or the console. I have huge expectations of various games on the PS2 based on the screenshots, then once the game comes out, I take a look at reviews etc. to see how the games actually play, that is when I feel gameplay matters, when you are sitting with a console and game in front of you, and you are playing. If the game has good gameplay, then you will be entertained, but the gameplay of any game is a matter of someone's own opinion, and whether they like it or not is entirely up to the individual. If we all liked the same, then there would be a much narrower variety of games on the market.
But there isn't much arguement to be had about the technical aspects of a game's graphics, they are either good or bad, and as I have pointed out, Starfox Adventures has overall, fairly poor graphics, if you sit down and look at what is being done, the poor lighting, animation and models are a brilliant example. To date, the only game on the system which has even remotly impressed me is Resident Evil, but I amn't a fan of Resident Evil games, so once the games come to be released, I don't buy them, because *I* don't like them.
Thats all that matters, whether or not *YOU* like the game, when it comes to release day.

Absolutely not, EA sports and Nintendo (for Pokemon) may be frowned upon though. And surely some Nintendo fan will take a shot Tomb Raider, but seeing as I have only played Tomb Raider 2, I cannot comment.
Starfox Adventures is Not a Sequel to Starfox-Starwing, Starfox64-LylatWars!!!.
Ok?.....
The Character's from the Starfox Cast where added to the Original Dinosaur Planet at the behest of Shigeru Miyamoto.
Starfox(Lylatwars) is a Flying-Shoot-em-up. Radically different to Starfox Adventures.
Starfox Adventures is an adventure game much like Zelda.
It might use charcters from Starfox and the lead cast, but really, it's like calling "Mario Kart 64 a sequel to Super Mario 64". Or even calling Mario Party for that matter a sequel.

Yes. Not so sure I'd use the word 'sequel' though.
More continuation of a series. Which is kind of different.
But it doesn't make a difference anyway, there's nowt wrong with sequels.

Every Starfox game before it. The new game does change genre, but it is still a sequel within a franchise.
A sequel to what???
Starfox Adventures is a SEQUEL.
Starfox Adv is NOT A SEQUEL
The graphics on Rogue Leader do look impressive, and if they can make it better than Starfighter, then it should be a brilliant game.
Episode 1 Racer 2 looks good as well. It seems that Lucasarts are finally bringing out the Star wars games that do the films justice. It must be the extra power of the new consoles.
