>>46351587Graphics absolutely plays a roll in how good a game is, and it’s not bound to something like confirm animations like in SFV, Frame Rates, or adding dimensions like in OG Doom and SM64.
It’s also the appeal and presentation of the game.
Imagine if the original games used the beta designs/sprites for Pokemon, or if that fake Turtwig final evolution was real.
This would not only look unprofessional, but also make the game feel worse.
