Interesting. The folks I know who used to work at F5 have kinda implied the opposite to me. They didn't seem to understand that framerate was "important", at least with regards to Lair. Or that self-shadowing looks bad if it appears on both sides of a skinned mesh, etc. And now... they're out of business. Apparently they didn't know their business "stuff" very well either. I think that you're holding onto to some old favorite games of yours a little too tightly here. Perhaps even remembering them as... a tad better than they were.

And exactly who might you be to proclaim their graphical ignorance? You claim to be a developer with Xbox experience but tell me, are you working on X360 an/or PS3 stuff now? I ask this because the fact F5 is no longer in business seems to correlate directly to their graphical capacity, as you're related. If you are not currently employed as a graphics developer on either platform, I'd suggest you refrain from further self incrimination.
