have you wrote how shitty this village gif is back when those footage was released? i seriously doubt
So?
Seriously, so?
He's not pointing out these faults at the GIF to try and say the game looked atrocious. At least, I don't think so. The GIF is lovely, I like it too, but C0bR is pointing out criticism at it to try and show how the downgrade claim might be a bit blinded, and grossly overlooking things that were bad back then, and are better now. Him criticizing it, or not, when it was released, has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
My guess is that he didn't analyze the shit out of it when it was released partly because he, well... enjoyed it. And not being so prickly about graphics. But enjoying something doesn't mean you consider it flawless. But I'm talking on your behalf
@C0bR , so correct me if I'm wrong.
Blady, I'll be honest here, I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at, anymore. You're so adamant about this downgrade issue that I fear you're starting to see things in black and white. For example, you ask C0bR if he wrote how "shitty" the village looked back then. But rereading his post, I don't see him saying anything of the sort. In fact, he even writes "This is of course offset by a nicely colored myriad of things [...]".
Voicing criticism about it doesn't amount to thinking it's "shitty", and not voicing said criticism back then doesn't mean he considered it perfect once upon a time, either. And finally, what he did or didn't think about it back then has nothing to do with the flaws he points out now that are no longer present in current footage (I think).
