Ultimately, performance wins.

In-game ,down in the trenches, fighting, you only see blobs of shapes and colors.

Game devs wanna push limits to sell a new version.

This isnt that avenue.

We are used to vintage gfx. 24bitetextures yadda yadda...

It;s cool to show off eyecandy but gameplay is what brings back players.

if u can achieve both then thats called a generation.

There are very few games that have kept me coming back for longer than 1 month. I installed Syndicate, played it like once or twice, then never opened it again. Still installed,just never opened.


Most times,I am playing a new game purely to see "New Graphics" lol.

So I just downloaded Epsilon, and I don't see Reflecting surfaces or "bump-mapping"? I think it's actually called Parallax occlusion mapping.

I think parallax occlusion mapping is just a buzzword for one of the newer variants of bump mapping. The latter being a very widely used term understood by many... unlike parallel occlusion mapping which is a term that in a few years no-one will remember.
