If anyone looked closely at the Nintendo news this week you may have noticed that Robocop has been confirmed for the GC, I was intrigued and clicked on the link and saw the first screen shoots of a game that has been in development since 1998, these screenshots were amazing..they were simply the best I have ever seen of an in game shoot.
Many of the pictures you see nowadays in magazines are of the video kind are part of the promo and not within the actual game. These Robocop pictures were stunning pictures of ingame action...
...but as graphics get better and better, as resolution gets better and better, as vector based pixels get smaller and smaller what is the outcome for the rest of the game??
I dont want to have a game with just '''the best graphics'''
I want a game with the best gameplay, the best ideas and the most original format, but then nearly all formats have been tested in games, I suppose what hasn't been done is RPG/First Person/Shooter??
(But then again what kind of a game would that be?)
I dont like the screenshots in magazines, they give you something to look at, they give you something to talk about but they dont give the reader the right information!
Take Nintendo Official Magazine for instance:
'The images show that Conkers Bad Fur Day looks set to be one of the biggest games of the year'
How the hell can this be told from screenshots when I know for definate that NOM haven't tested a copy!?!
People are talking about MGS2 and how amazing it is going to be? What are they going on? Screenshots and a little promo movie.
People should need to play the game to be excited.
Im not going to stop looking at screenshots but next time you look at the photos in a magazine just think about where they have come from.
Thanks
