Solidus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Has anyone here noticed such a huge gap with some games in terms of graphics vs. gameplay? I see games with amazing title screen graphics and great graphics in game as well. And yet... the gameplay is ridiculously rudimentary and could not possibly hold someone's attention.

sandy234 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 graphics is what holds most ppl attention. If game doesnt has good graphics no1 even tries it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I agree... I've decided to take a new stance on my game making enterprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daikrys Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 i would recommend a simple but well rounded gameplay and some nice graphicsif the gameplay is boring or more frustration then fun, people will quit playing and never come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmoondev Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You would actually need both - good gameplay AND good graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 You would actually need both - good gameplay AND good graphics I believe well selling a product, what it looks like is way more important than how it works It's pretty universal, but I agree, as ethical developers it's our job to not hide simple gameplay behind amazing graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzacotl Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 graphics has to suit the game, which doesn't mean it has to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 graphics has to suit the game, which doesn't mean it has to be good. I think I know what you mean, but perhaps the sentence was written imprecisely in English. By "good" I essentially mean "matches the play and style of the game". So I absolutely agree with you, if I interpreted that correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardstudioz Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thumbnail and screenshots are the first impression in appstores.player dont like Thumbnail then you app lost chance of being tried.reviews give chances of download to try but players always look Thumbnail and screens before downloading any game,even bigger titles get ignored if they look crap in screenshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryguy Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Often I think this is an unnecessary debate. It's a bit like asking a writer if grammar or story-telling are more important for a successful book. I think we can all agree that a book without either is a painful read. People don't play ugly games, but they also don't play boring games. Competent developers acquire skills in both realms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannesalfa Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 A lot of graphics with good gameplay is definetly good videogame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
