I don't think I've been truly impressed by graphics since the N64 days, particularly with Super Mario 64 and Zelda OoT. I would say I've appreciated the art styles and effort in games, but as far as the type of impressed as discussed here, nah, not really. I think one thing that has caused me to stop being impressed by graphics long ago is how movies started using way more CG, including cartoons switching over to full CG. Stuff like Toy Story and the like was always way ahead of what game systems could do, so I already "got used" to better graphics before game systems started using them. Heck, we've probably just now reached the point where games can look like Toy Story. That said, there were a couple of games that made me think I underestimated the Wii hardware a bit. Super Mario Galaxy for example looks better than GameCube games, and Xenoblade's areas are larger than I would have expected possible, even if the graphics suffer a bit. Though, some of that could just be the developers having so much experience with the GCN tech and using it to its fullest. I've actually been unimpressed with Wii U since most games seem to lack any sort of cohesive style. Games like Mario Kart and Smash for example just look like generic CG, having a shiny plastic look that makes them seem sterile and can cross into the uncanny valley at times for me. |
