A trend I've been noticing in games is that they look great. Graphics have never looked better. Almost every game now comes with HDR and realistic physics. Though one other trend I noticed is that games are now shorter. If they aren't short then they suck.
What I'm saying is that game companies have the idea that graphics is what gamers really want and gameplay isnt important. Tomb Riader Legends and HL2 were both good games but were so very short. They both used state of the art graphics but did it need it? Most of the time I've seen developers use it for ambience and not so much gameplay involved.
So are companies trading the cost for gameplay for graphics?
