I've always found that a lot of games that weren't mindful of the technology left me with hollow experiences. Furthermore I think you denigrate the importance of graphics in regards to design. I think that there are choices made regarding how a game plays, or can be played, that are dependant on the graphical fidelity. Camera decisions, scale decisions, one need only look at a game like the upcoming God of War 3 to see the point of scale. I think people too often confer the graphics rendering with just the visuals that they see onscreen. Technology updates of all stripes simply provide more tools to devs to create games. It allows them to enhance the experience. first off graphics are hugely important in grounding a player into the world, it’s hard to connect to a world of block characters.It’s hard to believe in a bustling city when you can only render a small handful of characters at a time.

It is also true though that gameplay evolves as graphics get better. Look at the Metal Gear Solid series for instance. As the graphics got better between the the four games, gameplay took drastic shifts forward and each subsequent release offered more freedom than the last due to the new graphical processing power. I appreciate great graphics for drawing me into a world and making me feel apart of it. Gameplay is always going to be more important than graphics.

I rather play Galaga over Far Cry 2 any day. Also Left 4 Dead over Killzone 2....its all about the fun factor for me. For me, graphics dont really make the game.
