to get even the left asscheek of the pair of pants the main character wears for the first level of a 10 hour campaign looking good, not clipping, not looking weirdly lit near torchlight, etc, can take one man a week.
This is why I don't play AAA shit.
I don't care about any of that.
And I say that as someone who's spent the last 10 years working professionally on multiple 3d visualization engines for companies you have heard of. I know how hard it is to make things math out perfectly. But none of that shit matters for actually making an interesting game.
Half the big games this year have been indies. Between skyrocketing system reqs and hardware prices, as well as most AAA games being unfun cinematic leftist slop, the bulk of gamers are retreating to actual fun.
They first let game journalists manipulate both studios and gamers that the only thing anyone cares about is graphics. More graphics, more graphics, more graphics. Where in reality a 3D engine like Half-Life 2 Source or something from that era is more than enough to make a compelling game. Graphical design could have stopped there, with nothing more than minor tweaks for things like updated resolutions made. None of that real negress frizzy hair physics shit makes the game actually fun.
