So you're saying there's no such thing as subjectivity when it comes down to visual stimuli? Each person's visual cortex is exactly identical?

I am saying that anyone who says that there is little or no change when it comes to character models, texture resolution, and general geometrical complexity are quantitatively and objectively wrong.

In this case, there's nothing subjective about it. Subjectivity only applies to the importance you place on those differences or the effect they have on you; that they are there is not a matter that is up for debate.

I think you confuse two things here. The images have a certain amount of differences. These differences are factual and not up for debate. However, not every person is able to spot those differences as easily. People who are more perceptive about things like polygon count and texture resolution should be able to spot these differences more easily than those looking more casually at screenshots.

If I would show these comparisons to my mother, she wouldn't see the difference, save for a few things like brighter colors and longer ears.

The perception of these is not the point, it's the factual assertion that the images look  "essentially the same", w hich is objectively untrue.

Of course it is, but come on, 99% of people's statements (on forums and otherwise) are subjective in the first place. When I say "I don't need a car, it's useless", my car owning friends can go and bitch about my statement trying to prove a car is useful to have, but they -like you- would totally go beyond the fact that the statement I made is purely subjective.

In other words, don't be so anal about these things, it's just one person's evaluation of a screenshot comparison of a game you happen to love.
