I love the way that guy compared the graphics of Devil May Cry 4 to the graphics of Godzilla Unleashed.
DMC may have better graphics, but we all know that DMC 4 is going to be DMC, DMC 2 and DMC 3 with a few added combos.
Godzilla Unleashed may actually be fun for people who still remember the point of playing video games, rather than doing something Streets of Rage and Castlevania did decades ago, but in 3D.
People who jerk off over tech specs make me sick. When did gaming stop becoming about fun? Look, I still think it's shit when I see Smackdown and the hair disappears into the body. As time goes on, yes, graphics should be kept up to par and up to speed, but when did that take the place of actually making a great game?
If Godzilla Unleashed ended up like Goldeneye, a game with graphics that aren't the best, but is played in many more years to come, why does it matter what graphics are like?
Can you see DMC being looked back on as a game to be treasured? No. Capcom are capable of much more, and I'm glad they keep making DMC games. Why? Because they sell like hot cakes and it just increases the revenue they have to spend on better franchises, like Resident Evil.
I guess the bottom line is; All the graphics in the world may be pretty, but nothing DMC ever has, graphically, will compare to how much fun people had on games like Goldeneye. In this day and age, everything is more interactive. It's less and less about sitting in your room marvelling over great graphics and good gameplay, it's more about, "How can I possibly get the most fun out of this?".
Sooner or later, people will lose the insecurity of calling Nintendo a kiddy console and realise that they've had the right idea all along, as Microsoft are now starting to get.
