| SJReiter said: I guess this would be a good thread for me to ask this question that's been bugging me for a while now. So, the reception to TP:HD was generally very good, but much of the criticism came from the fact that most people thought that there wasn't enough done to update the game's visuals (remember at the reveal when people were asking, "when do they show the HD version?"). At the same time, people always have nothing but glowing comments for Tantalus. I'm just wondering, if the visuals in TP:HD were not as good as people wanted, can that criticism be fairly leveled towards Tantalus? If not, why? |
Well the trailer wasn't impressive because of expectations, but upon playing it the game does have a lot of really well done textures and some well done mesh improvements. It honestly does look a LOT better. But it wasn't a huge leap no doubt, it mainly feels like exactly what TP would have looked like on Wii if Wii had been a 360 level machine and TP was cross gen from GC to something of that level. As for why Tantalus doesn't get much guff for that, it's down to the fact they were working with such an aged engine, something completely out of Tantalus's control.
