| Zekkyou said: Sure is a mixed bag of visuals. + (good) Over-world detail/diversity. Enemy models (nothing special, but surprisingly well made) Render distance/scale. Art direction (durp). Lots of foliage (yay grass). +- (okay) Textures (some good some... bleh). A lot of pop-ins (relatively forgivable given it's open world). Inconsistent AA (hard to say how much in compressed video). Inconsistent movement/battle animations for both enemies and players (likely since the game isn't finished though). - (oh god why) Character models (i feel like i'm in 2002 again). Facial animations (an extension of the previous point). Overall it's a good looking game (especially given the hardware), but needs some work before release. Regardless of its visual inconsistency, it's going to be an amazing game. Will be interesting to see if it can live up to the standards of its predecessor. |
The thing is with the character models is that anyone that has played the first game should have expected it. People (including your good self) are exaggerating how bad they are though. The original game on the Wii had PS2 quality characters but X's character models are a considerable amount better.
