In Response To: Re: Bulletin. (Quirel)


: Rendering argument is irrelevant; it is perfectly possible to do a faithful
: next-generation interpretation of an object without "artistic
: license" creeping in, and we have seen it done in Halo before.

Look at the level of detail on the Prawns from District 9. I'm sure that something like them would be a worthy challenge for 343i's new engine.

Higher res doesn't fore an artist to make bland generic cave trolls.

: Classification argument is articulate, but irrelevant. I understand that
: aliens wouldn't have exact Earth-analogues, even as far as categorization
: goes. And yes, something the size of a Grunt with an Arthropod's
: circulatory system would be ridiculous. But we're talking about a species
: that has had a biological feature that's not there anymore, something
: that's a lot bigger than an extra toe or a different shape of the head.

They were never arthropods but they had an exoskeleton. Any talk about other arthropod features is just a red herring.

343i just give us something with an exoskeleton instead of excuses for why you missed the obvious.

: The problem is, 343i's artists have taken their liberties, and the result is
: unappealing. It calls to mind cave trolls or Locusts. It's, well, generic,
: and 343i can do better.

True dat. It looks like something that belongs in a users gallery for blender. It sits next to the dwarf with the ax and the warrior with the big sword.
