Having worked on a FPS MMO, I can't agree with this enough. People always complained it didn't look real enough. I always wanted to ask them if would mind buying 1,000 video cards up front and then wait 10 years buying 1000 new ones every year until I got it right. I figured by then I could retire and duck the problem. Reality is ridiculously hard to do right. Now try doing it over the internet with a half second ping time and you realize that not only reality bites, but physics bites harder.
- chiph 13y agoWhile WoW looks the way it does partly because of it's 10 year old origins, it's artwork also communicates to the player: "It's just a game". And once you're far enough away from an imitation of reality, the brain stops trying to fit it into it's model of the world and complaining when it can't.
