What are graphics?

People always say my games have bad graphics, but I don't know how to fix that, because I don't know what it is!  Please comment and tell me what they are.

Re: What are graphics?

How stuff looks. For example, Final Fantasy X+ has very good graphics(but all FF games are freakishly boring to me).

Re: What are graphics?

The quality of how visual elements look. For example, a picture on the web. If it looks very good, the graphics are good. If it looks rubbish, the graphics are - you guessed it - bad. Usually, this term is only used in computer games and electronic media, not pieces of artwork by Davinchi etc.


I might return for a little while.

Re: What are graphics?

Graphics are like pixels. They arrange themselves on the screen to form a picture. When the pixels are really small, the picture looks a lot better.

Are you forgetting I could do that?

The Nintendo DS doesn't have bad graphics. Just not as good as the Wii, PS3, etc.

And don't even think about insulting the original GameBoy. Sure the newer graphics would PWN, but they were really epic way back when.

But from what I have heard, it doesn't matter if games have bad graphics, it just matters if it is fun or not  wink

I just sounded really wise there xD

You're correct there, but they do impact the game a lot.

Somelia, you are right, DS games do have bad graphics, but they're still fun.

Re: What are graphics?

Graphics are like pictures.For example really good graphics would be 3d shaded pictures with smooth outline and really bad graphics are fuzzed/pixelized 2d pictures.  smile
