OS Debate: Real Time Physics or Authentic True to Life Presentation?

[DubTrey1]

RTP. thats all. Presentation can be worked on for the next year. RTP is around the gameplay....

Gameplay. That's difference between a video game and real life. If you wanna see a true to life presentation go watch a game on CBS. LOL.

The point of a video game is the gameplay lol.

I cant believe i'm saying this but it has to be presentation. The way the game is presented to you over and over is what will keep you coming back most. Why esle do we love to watch football in real life? Because of the way its presented. Would you watch real life football with not commentary? Yes, but not for long. Why do you love going to the game in person? Because of the atmosphere. A game can have RTP but how much fun would it be if the crowd didnt cheer on touchdowns, every game played on generic football fields, or your favorite players not being presented in a way that's similar to thier real life counter parts. Football is a game of emotion and enthusiasm. If that same emotion is not presented each and every game, we would quit playing it within a couple of days. If the presentation can be produced with real life excitement, I'll play that game any day over a game that only have RTP. As humans, we stick with the things that brings emotions, and great presentation can bring emotion.

Most important for authenticity?

Presentation. I don't expect anything near perfection from a football video game (nor so the masses, obviously. Compared to the crowd here.) I'm used to simming through seasons of Madden and maybe playing 1 or 2 games per year.

True to life presentation would make the game much more authentic than real time physics. Obviously both is the answer, but if forced to pick... I have to go with presentation - and I'm as sim as the next guy.

Real Time Physics/Gameplay is by FAR much more important. Presentation is nothing more that fluff that can be avoided all together if one chooses. When you buy a sports game you're buying it for the gameplay everything else is extra. Of course, this is coming from someone who despises NBA 2K because of the way they cover up poor gameplay with a pretty presentation.

It's very simple, no need to ramble on here. It's RTP that's the most important. Gameplay takes priority over any other feature in a video game. Are we watching and listening to the game or are we more focused and how it plays and how closely it replicates the sport.

Presentation done right! EA don't do there's right.....2k5 gameplay wasn't top notch at all.....controls sucked,but when u have a whole episode of Sportscenter just like u see on t.v of your game scores and other game highlightsu have greatness & the reason people gripe ova madden to this very day. I never skipped a episode of Chris Bermams sportscenter recap...he comentated the highlights folks!!!!! WHUP!!! it was done right yall to the t.

I believe that Real Time Physics AND authentic presentation go hand in hand. Imagine playing a full madden game with great game play and a realistic as can be "feel", yet through out the game, commentary lags and the game is presented horribly. That would just take away from the overall value of the experience. Then look at it the other way, horrible game play yet, great presentation. I believe the consumer would only be able to put up with that until a matter of time. You can always see the presentation but the MEAT of all GAMES, is GAMEplay. I think GREAT gameplay with physics implemented is much more valuable then world class presentation when it comes to video games. However, this is a growing and demanding market so its better if BOTH r in a game, that would only enhance each other.
