Sony Feels the Pressure
Several media outlets are reporting that Sony has sent memos to developers concerning future game projects. Apparently, Sony has been feeling the heat of the graphical power of GameCube and Microsoft\'s Xbox and the company has now advised developers to put more development time into creating better graphics and less time in developing lengthy gameplay experiences.

As consoles get more powerful, the video game industry has transformed into a visual presentation race. Sony\'s recent memo to stress graphics over gameplay is just a sign of the changing times.

This makes my planning to buy a PS2 after NGC decision a lot more different...maybe Xbox could be my second console? Looks like that possibility isn\'t so far fetched right now...I\'ll wait and see though, but I definitely don\'t like the sounds of this.

What did you expect from the company that has contracts with developers to include FMV in games.

Good ole Sony :)

Amusing post, but I would believe it more had it been posted on a major site. The link that was posted said it was taken from Gamespot but I was unable to find it there. Oh well. I don\'t care anyway, you can\'t believe everything you read.

This is crazy......if it\'s true it has to be the dumbest thing sony has ever said. And what developer would listen to this peace of crap. Graphics over gameplay......I guess those mary kate and ashley games will get awesome graphics now:laughing: :laughing:


EDIT: THE GAMEPLAY ALWAYS SUCKED IN THOSE GAMES SO THIS IS A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR  FANS OF THOSE TWO.

...and this is nothing compared to the crappy game-play of some games coming out...MGS2,SH2,Ico,J&D,Virtua Fighter4,GTN etc :D...sure all these games will show us only great graphics:eek:

...joking aside...I think casual gamers do care a lot about graphics and maybe some developers will stress graphics rather than game-play to impress this "kind of odd gamers:D"...but I\'m sure it won\'t be the new trend of Sony:)...but only "a little demonstration" of PS2 graphics capabilities...

Hmm..

I wonder why most of SONYS own games focus more on gameplay than graphics..
Hmmm...

This thing is totally skewed ! Read what the publication says :
"less time in developing lenghty gameplay expierences"
Sony didn\'t say to neglect gameplay quality.  better : devs
can create better gameplay when games don\'t have absurd lengths of 30 or 40 hours of play. 15 to 20 hours is fine with
me because I can have my good graphics both with compact
exciting gameplay.
Lotsa games now have big worlds with few interactivity and
pointless wandering around.
Good move by Sony to stress on Graphics and compact gameplay.

Ask yourself why that is Toxical ! From launch PS2 has
had few adventure games versus lotsa sports and action
games. The few adventure games also being just accepable.
C\'mon RE CV is only now just around the corner, so big adventure
games have yet to come.

Graphics over gameplay? Of course, it makes perfect sense - GT3 sold a $hitload of copies with pretty graphics and almost the same gameplay as GT2, and many people on this very board seemed to write of the next Zelda and Mario games on the GC (\'Nintendo\'s going down\', \'the end of Nintendo\' etc.) because they don\'t have nice graphics so can you blame Sony for preaching graphics over gameplay? It\'s how most gamers think nowadays.

mmm... very bad. All we know that PS2 power is lower than GC and XBOX. Developers have to do good games without look at the other consoles ones.
