What is Graphics Specification
 
There are four main visual styles which are Photorealistic, Cel-Shaded, abstract and exaggeration. Photorealistic games are games that are life like and look like a real photograph For example GTA. Abstract employs lots of lines and geometric shapes like geometry wars. Cel shaded is when the texture of an object is made to look like a comic book. 


Cel-Shaded:
Cel shading is a non-photorealistic rendered style of games which make the game look like it’s been hand drawn. Cel shading is mostly used to make games look cartoony such as Borderlands and World of Warcraft, even though they are not the same genre of game they have the same style.
Photorealism
Photo realistic graphics are used in styles of games like Military games. It is the most difficult and demanding visual style out of the other styles. The most popular games that use photorealism are Call of Duty, GTA and Halo.
 
 
Exaggerated
This style is roughly based photorealism, but most attributes have been enhanced such as ridiculously muscly characters or outrageous hairstyles. The best examples of exaggerated games are Tekken and Final Fantasy.
 
 Abstract
Abstract is one of the most unique visual styles as with an abstract game it doesn’t tend to look like any other style of game. Many abstract games use bright colours while some have very elusive colours. The best example of an abstract game is geometry wars
