Realized I am supposed to be still blogging.. and i waited way too long to make my first entry!!
Anyway, I read an intriguing article on video games and art in the exclamation magazine, which also reviews a single game. The article basically had this dude saying things that I have been thinking so much since next gen gaming began... how games have been racing towards photorealism because its possible, but why be photorealist when the potential is there to create something NOT possible in real life, oor in a photo. More and more game developers are realizing this and creating strangely styled games that arent photorealistic at all. Like Limbo, which was reviewed in the article.. echochrome, littlebigplanet..the pixeljunk series. I want to see things in video games that are not possible in the real world.

ReplyDeleteThis might be slightly off-topic, but I really want to play littlebigplanet because the cover art is so adorable. I do not think photorealism is very adorable, thus, advertisers should make more cute and awesome things.
Also possibly less massive-boobed-scantily-clad-one-dimensional female characters. If they insist on almost-naked fanservice they must also include some menfolk-eyecandy.
That is the secrets to getting me to play more games.
lolz, menfolk
