vs. Stylized graphics
In the many games we play there are 2 different styles of graphics
realistic graphics and stylised graphics and realistic graphics. Stylised graphics give a colourful and bright atmosphere,
while realistic games on the other hand give the player a dramatic and intense
atmosphere usually full of action. Different people have different tastes of
games and also graphics some prefer a stylised cartoonish game play like World
of Warcraft while others prefer a more realistic
triple A style graphics like the Call of Duty series. Therefore what are the differences between these two of course they are major differences of look and appeal that
is has on a game and what it does to the player, playing the game. Stylised
graphics is usually a very colourful environment and usually very flashy, games
that have stylised graphics doesn't really need much resources to run or need a high end computer to enjoy but some
players do not enjoy games that have stylised graphics. Games that strive to
have full on realistic while having beautiful graphics and having a intense, dramatic
and action packed game play need a lot of resources to run and create usually the player has to purchase the most
up to date computer technology and usually games that strive to be too
realistic usually makes it harder to immerse the player into the actual game
and game play mechanics. There are games that mix both elements like Planetside
2, but in reality the option and taste of games and graphics are up to the
preference of the individual player.
