| Re: Don't conflate two distinct things | |

In Response To: Don't conflate two distinct things (scarab) : There is a distinction to be drawn between the technical excellence of the : graphics engine and the art design, what was done with the engine. : Cody made that distinction in his prior post about the graphics. I think I read his post correctly. And the one before. It boils down to a matter of taste, at best. It's one thing to say you don't care for the graphics which is a subjective argument, and it's quite another, ridiculous thing to say that it's a mistake in game design, which is more objective, but based on subjective evidence. I play Halo 4 on an HDTV like most people, and I have okay vision, and I don't have problems picking up outlines of enemies or experiencing "visual overload." So basically to improve the graphics, they would need to be less "overly detailed," which I guess is basically drawing the same graphics as Halo 3, only using more polygons, or maybe cel-shading everything. I don't know. It just leaves me scratching my head. Halo 4 is going to win industry awards with its graphics, and there aren't going to be any footnotes about "well, except the art design was pretty crappy, but we're going to give you this award anyway." I don't see many people outside Halo fan forums who have stomped off indignation about the lack of support for their video game editorial skills making that distinction.
