Have you guys seen some of the graphics on these Namco games? Geez
I think I recall better looking cars on N64.
Check out that awesome grass on the soccor game. The car one is Frame City.

Nice wheelz

No, no, Namco. We're going ahead a generation, not behind a generation. Silly game developers. But in all honesty those look like Dreamcast graphics...

**Whisper** · 12-23-2005

WTF?

Congrats Ps3 you won..

**ll Mista GT ll** · 12-23-2005

No Whisper, Nintendo won

**Double_Diablo** · 12-23-2005

Actually, my seven-year-old Gameboy Color won.

Namco, you lose.

**BoogerBoy** · 12-23-2005

Those look amazing! I am so stunned by these graphics!

God There Awful!

All i have to say is, WHAT THE FCUK?!?!

Those developers can screw themselves all they want. We all know the 360 can produce awesome graphics so graphics like that just doesn't cut it. Feel free to continue destroying your company Namco

Watch out for the electrified grass everyone!!!

**Double_Diablo** · 12-24-2005

That grass looks dangerous!

Everyone knows It's the gameplay that matters!!!

**Whisper** · 12-25-2005

Alright.. at first I ask, "why do they even bother?" - they MUST know that their game looks like ****, and is not even close to the standard of what a game on this system should be, even at the bad level.

but then it came to me.. they know exactly what they're doing.. the budget for this trash was probably around $50,000.. and they worked on this **** during their coffee breaks... all namco is doing is maximizing profit.. they know what it's all about

That's the sad thing. They could have perfected the gameplay mechanics of soccer, and we just dismiss the game because it doesn't have the polygon count we want.

And one of the best arcady racing games ever was San Francisco Rush on the 64, and the graphics look bad by todays standards. But it is still more fun to pick up and play than most of today's racers (including the latest Rush game

)

Everybody complains that today's games aren't as much fun, and that companies spend too much time on graphics, and botch the level design, or sound, or AI. And yet... here you go...
