| d21lewis said: I see people putting down Crysis 2 because at times, there's texture pop-in, frame rate drops, and such. I've even seen a post where a pic of Crysis was shown and someone said, "Yeah it looks good. If it looked that good all the time, it would be the best looking game, ever." Isn't that how we've always done it? Show a pic of the submarine in Uncharted and claim it's the best of all time? Now, all of a sudden texture pop-in (which almost all of the powerhouses have) and such are such a big deal? |
I don't think anyone is saying the other powerhouses don't have their problems, but how many of them become almost unplayable at times?
The pop-in is also quite evident from watching videos, and is perhaps a little distracting while playing. I saw a dustbin pop up into view suddenly in one video only about 15 feet from the character.
Posters do mention performance, and if they don't, well they should. A static shot of the game doesn't prove all that much, everything changes when a game kicks into motion. And with all the bullshots devs release these days, it's hard to take pics as the genuine article.
