Art is in the eye of the beholder. End of discussion. Some consider smearing manure pies over the wall art and it is probably is to them, but some of us find it disgusting. Seriously who cares? It is quite obvious the term art is extremely subjective.

Wait, I was under the impression that the whole point of the internet was to have discussions that attempt to get definitive answers to subjective questions.

Yeah I've found out that surprisingly it doesn't work that way (believe me I know!).

I think Bug Island is art, nothing that horrendous can be anything but beautiful art!

By that logic the CD-i Zelda games are the greatest work of art in human history!

It's sophistication beyond our understanding.

but perfectly within that of a walrus

I vote "art" be a filtered word.  We could replace it with the following options:

pancake

trainwreck

tampon

Denis Dyack



...other suggestions are welcome.

But what about the eggman?

I'd make suggestions, but since I know I can't top Denis Dyack no matter how I try I'm going to bow out gracefully.

theres an academic definition of art, which i explained. Its not subjective. In academia there is a distinction between high and low art. Now lets compare the word class and compare the word art.
There is high class and low class. However some people use the word class the same way. You either have it or you don't. Which is completely deviant from the original meaning of the word.
i could(have) write(en) pages on the subject. Things aren't either art or their not, they all are, but there are different levels of quality, and messages.

ballet is an art, but nothing remains, martial arts, when you get a ba in any subject thats a bachelor of arts. Lying is an art

[GoldenPhoenix]

Ok then there is elitist snobbery art and there is art. Better?

[Adrock]

I pre-ordered this yesterday with Chrono Trigger and House of the Dead: Overkill.

I read an Atsushi Inaba interview recently and he said that he doesn't think Madworld will be a very long game. I was worried since this game was announced that it wouldn't be very long, but I feel obligated to buy both Madworld and House of the Dead: Overkill the first day they come out since we're finally getting some damn core gamer games.

exactly

after that you have people like hideo kojima who have the definition of art translated to them....

Eurogamer preview

[BeautifulShy]

New video

[Bill Aurion]

MadWorld is one of those games where I never have to see another video of it before I get it in my hands... ='D

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah I am looking forward to it as well.

[Stogi]

I'm doing that with a lot of games these days. Good sign, no?

[BeautifulShy]

Nice Boxart

That's advisable on many levels.

Watching too many videos of a game beforehand ruins it, not only because you learn all the secrets ahead of time but because you develop expectations that are never accurate to the final product.

Done that too many times to count...

[Bill Aurion]

I can't remember the last time my expectations ruined a game for me...Probably never!  As long as a game is enjoyable, I find that my expectations mean nothing... ='D

And boring boxart is boring...The line-art style really would lend itself well to an environmental shot for the box...

[BeautifulShy]

How would you change it Bill?

[KDR_11k]

I avoid most previews to avoid spoilers (journalists love spoiling the most interesting puzzles) but as a result usually forget about games by the time they come out and have zero interest in them.

[Bill Aurion]

How would you change it Bill?

Like I said, an environmental shot...Like having the main character's back to the viewer, with him looking out over the city, or facing a large bunch of enemies...Something that gives a better feel for what the game is about...
