Really? That's "absolutely awful" to you? The game looks great, and more importantly, the atmosphere is spectacular.
My opinion. I dont like the art style. Like in the first 4 pics, the lighting looks very flat. The night shot looks okay tho.
really, you didn't know about the trees being better than Dreamcast trees?
The move list isn't my problem with the combat. It's the fact it all feels so very canned. Hate it, tbh.
Really don't know why they needed to dumb it down.
The combat is a big part to me. And wasn't enjoyable.
Obviously given the budget of the project, I was never expecting AAA top tier visuals, and whilst I think daylight visuals are decent enough, the night time/moonlight segments in places surprisingly look absolutely beautiful, predominantly due to the gorgeous art direction. I love how dense the environments are too what with all those stunning vistas and mountainous backdrops all around.
Animations are last gen or older as hell, but in a way it's sort of charming in its own way. This game very much feels like a trip down memory lane. Shame the combat is lacking in places.
In any case, it looks far better than I expected it to, and I can't wait to finally get back in to this world. Hopefully the game is decent.

Yu's team nailed the atmosphere. If the story holds up, this will be great. I'll play it on japanese tho.
Read what I wrote about the tree propagation tech, John from digital foundry has spoken if it in the past.
That's what makes the post embarrassing.
Am I missing something? What is strange about this? Foliage rendering back then was a big deal - when grass appeared in Tekken Tag is was like nothing we had seen before. Doing fields of grass and detailed trees was very difficult and rare in machines of that era but it's trivial now.
They have a tree system in Shenmue and it's neat but it's obviously limited in what it can display.
I'm obviously the strange one. Didn't realise Shenmue and tree systems had such deep roots.
Doesn't appear like they have any, but there's going to be a VF homage in the arcade.
