Agreed. Bad lighting effects can screw with a game. I once saw a collection of photos and screenshots in which the next CryEngine (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called.) was used to render an island and a shed. The island looked great and the shed looked almost dead on, except for one small problem. The lighting was too bright and the shadows too dark. When will programmers realize that the prettier doesn't mean the better?
This brings us to the next topic: Is the current trend of pretty yet horrible games simply a trend, or are programmers just that dumb? Is it pressure from the top of the company? Do they realize that they arn't making anything more realistic? |

| Real is not most people are after in a game. Entertainment is... and if I can't see it then it can't entertain me. So turn up the lights. |

| ... It's not really a "trend..." Anytime business higher-ups (or even the lower-downs) are disconnected with gaming enough to think that gamers will buy a game if it has pretty graphics are living in the days of the laserdisc arcade games. They'll continue to do that as long as gaming magazines (and gamers) are still looking at an initial preview movie of a game and going "wow, that's purty!" |

| If you have really awesome looking screenshots on your game box, you'll get alot of impulse buys. Also, those awesome shots will be all over previews of the games which will have decided many people on whether or not to purchase a game long before the game comes out, and even longer before they see any reviews of said game. That's the way things work, unfortunately. |
