In Response To: Re: ...wow...no other artists? (Rox)


: I like this new picture better than the announcement trailer. Much better.
: The armor doesn't look as awesomely detailed, but that's a good thing.
: It's a good thing, you hear me?! That means the power and resources it
: took to render the old armor has been put to better use somewhere else.
: Let's face it, when playing Halo's campaign, how often do you find
: yourself staring at the Chief? Once per cutscene, at most. Maybe a bit
: more often with the third-person weapons involved, but still. It still
: looks excellent, and I'm sure they could afford a higher resolution grass
: texture or some new normal maps for the cost of the old armor's bumpyness,
: which is power much better spent.

: That's what game development is. It's about what resources you have and how
: you use them. Bungie just found a way to improve the usage of their
: resources, and it involved de-detailing something you won't be looking
: much at anyway. Good trade, I'd say.

Plus, they can always turn on the sharkskin bumpmappy from the E3 trailer during the cutscenes.
