Yup, it seems many developers tend to focus on the graphics more now. But that's because they can. 3D can make rubbish seem cool. People will buy it if it looks good, regardless of gameplay. WOAH, IT'S PUSHING A HEAP OF POLYGONS AND USING EFFECTS I KNOW BY NAME, BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO! I JUST LIKE TO THINK I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING ON ABOUT! WOAH! DOA VOLLEYBALL LOOKS SO COOL! I'LL BUY SIX COPIES, THANKS!
