| Re: Bulletin! (10.17.12) | |

In Response To: Bulletin! (10.17.12) (INSANEdrive) "Every time someone spreads a leak, an angel loses its wings. At least that’s what I’m assuming is happening, considering my backside is suddenly bare. Oh yes, there’s no longer any junk above my trunk, I’ve lost the adonk from my badonk, and Sir Mix-A-Lot no longer likes me." What did I just read? It actually was pretty funny As the video game industry advances, so does its tools and techniques, and that is readily apparent when looking at the Master Chief’s evolution over the past ten years. More and more, I'm beginning to feel that the advanced tools and techniques are actually a curse. With more polys and greebles available to the artist, the clean, readily identifiable silhouette has become a thing of the past. And then there's the fact that artists use the "got more polys to play with" to justify artistic laziness. "Why does the Chief look different?"
No, the new technology is perfectly capable of rendering Mark VI. You guys are ducking the question. Each iteration of our favorite Spartan super-soldier has been distinctive yet similar, but don’t confuse design with canon – the Chief is the Chief, just with the details and idiosyncrasies based on what each time period and toolset has to offer. So, all the little details of multiplayer are canon, but the campaign visuals aren't? Has 'storytelling through art' been taken out back and shot? -Skulls: Sigh. Would have liked to hunt for them. I've got zero motivation to hunt down the terminals, if they're all motion comics.
I don't know why it is. Maybe it's because your art director came from working on Metal Gear Solid. Maybe it's the guys you hauled in from working on Metroid. Maybe y'all are just a bunch of anime fanboys. But I sincerely wish you would drop the anime influences. Sit up straight and take yourselves seriously.
