In the world of video games there are great possibilities, and the visual section of these is one of the main factors when buying a video game, after all this is our first impression of it and what we were interested in at first Of course this does not apply to all cases. There are genres of video games that are governed more by other different aspects and that do not depend so much on technical power to really impress, we can count on some examples such as rhythmic games, puzzles or even the occasional side-view MMO.
There are people who believe that the visual section is not important, or that it is not necessary to attract new audiences. This may be false depending on the case, on the one hand there are video games that do need it, but on the other, many of the people interested in a video game are because of how it looks. A video game needs to look good, it needs to give visual taste to the person who is playing it. In the cinema for example there are many films that stand out more for their special effects than for their script, although there are also some that do this without sacrificing their story or script.
Today is when the industry is most debated. There are many people who argue about what is the most important thing about a video game, of course speaking as a spectator, in fact there are many games that have shown that they do not need to show spectacular or hyper-realistic graphics to attract the greater public or to interest people, for For example, Diablo or Warcraft style games can look especially horrendous nowadays, but they are still titles that many of the users who had a PC at the time still like.
Graphics have always been a fundamental part of this industry, even from earlier times like the NES or Megadrive, they were essential to attract a new audience. From the time of Playstation and Nintendo 64, from a moment to now everything has focused more on showing us realistic graphics, not everything is focused on having fun, now everything is more complicated, but at the same time beneficial, now there are more possibilities, both For developers and large companies such as indie studios that are starting out in video game development, there are more aspects to focus on, either to a greater or lesser extent.
It is undoubtedly an interesting topic, although somewhat obvious, many refuse to believe that graphics are even relevant to a video game, but it really is, and directly or indirectly a title can attract us by how it looks, however minimalist or simple as your gameplay may be. There are examples of companies that know how to achieve this very well, such as Naughty Dog, which with its latest games has been on everyone's lips even though they are not the most innovative or the most important thing for the industry, they are simply companies that know the importance that is in the visual section of a game, and that they know how to take advantage of their IP very well to sneak into this industry.
