The Cinescape site (http://cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&this_cat=Games&action=page&obj_id=41080) posted a Q&A with the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes team.
Does the Art team strive to create photorealistic content or is it fair to say the goal is to achieve something never before seen?
Keith Parkinson (Art Director): From the initial conception of our world, the goal has always been to create a realistic environment, but not a photorealistic one. There is a tremendous difference between the two.
So can the fine line between gamers demand for the Wow effect be satisfied by less than photorealistic graphics?
