For those of you who wish Alex was a bit sharper looking...

Yes. This will probably go on for a bit. Till the SDK(if there is one) and users can fix up most of the things they disliked about the game(proves its not all bad). For now its just making Alex look better. Ah its moo3 all over again.

Here might be a good place to say I think they're all decidedly worse than the originals (well Hell Kitty's female Alex isn't bad, apart from the lips. Yikes!), but points for effort.
Does mean higher res version of the originals might be a possibility.

The frustrating thing is the developers surely have all the uber-high-res source images sitting on their hard drives, but won't share them.
Myself, I'm still stunned that the face of Alex D is about half as detailed as every other NPC in the game. Don't they have any sanity checks in place over there at ISA?

It's a pretty bizarre revelation. The performance gain from doing that would be naught, on the whole (since you spend most of your time looking at the other characters, don't you?). It's like they started doing an optimisation pass, did the player characters and then drifted off and did something else (got called away to help find all instances of water to be cut out)

A little OT but, where did you get your "copy" from Muzman? Did you import it?

I haven't got it yet. I'm just a little obsessed by all the differing opinions and modding already. It's kinda fascinating.

not quite right. if the textures are TOO high-res and you'd decide to use high-res textures for other stuff too, it'd eat through your graphics mmory pretty fast. and i think player character is loaded into memory all the time for cutscenes anyway.
worst thing about the textures imho is, that some of the textures are obviously just resized from _smaller_ ones. very strange and not good. :(

Ummm... and how exactly would you be able to tell that?
