god I haven't been really "into" Spiderman in years, but I might have to pick up the new PS4 game on artistry alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2wr7vebb6Y&list=WL
The first Watch_Dogs kinda ruined it for everyone with its actual, real nosedive in quality and now every gamer thinks they can count pixels by eye on tree leaves or some shit
@Galuade oof yeah, haha
@ShugoWah the reason that graphics sometimes are worse on launch also isn't because they're lying, it's because as you add more features to a game, it becomes more computationally expensive, and so you might end up needing to cut graphics if you add more than intended, or something ends up being harder to compute than anticipated
god making a AAA game must be the most stressful tightrope walk imaginable
you can remove one fucking puddle from a rooftop because your artists thought it was a little too much and a million people will scream that your game got worse since reveal
