In a recent interview withEurogamer,Fable 2technical art director Ian Lovett said that consumers were “visually illiterate” and “don’t understand what they’re looking at” in regard to the technical side of the visual quality inFable 2.
The question posed to Lovett and lead concept artist Mike McCarthy dealt with new consumers’ first impression withFable 2and asked them to present a contrast to the originalFable’svisuals. In a shocking statement, Lovett revealed thatFable 2would not look as “primitive” as the underfunded and hardware-strappedFablebefore proceeding with the “illiterate” comment.
I’ll admit that my cat may not recognize progressive visuals, but I know that even the most casual consumer can recognize better textures. Do you think Lovett is over generalizing? Also, do you still think the dog will still be a gripping plot device capable of invoking true emotion and shattering videogame expectations?
