Helping fix this Mediocre video game
@shurikeninjaIts not just you.
The lighting is definetly inferior in bfn.
Trailer vs game graphics downgrades have been a huge meme for a while so this isnt really anything new but popcap always seems to make their later trailers with gameplay instead, correct if I'm wrong but I don't think bfn did any none full none gameplay trailers after founders unlike gw1 and 2 like the pc release trailer for gw1 or zombopolis. (Doesnt help that the game has little marketing compared to the others).
Go look at gw1 and two, the ability coloring and bullet effects look so much better and more detailed than bfn such as soldier's paintballs which leave splat marks behind in gw but only bullet holes in bfn (different color and sizes for his variants paintballs too even close one like camo ranger and commando had different shading and textures despite both being green) or imps blasters. The effects for gw were bright, colorful, and still easily distinguishable from each other and I never had a problem knowing what character was shooting at me from the look of projectiles.
The overall environment art is fine tbh but some textures to improve the looks have definitely had to load first in bfn.
The weeds look bad in the lighting and the zombies almost seem like they have a blue filter over their heads.
Some of the newer designs are fine though I'm not the biggest fan the new plushied and less detailed style such as deadbeard and sunflower.
Imp, zmech, and rose look horrible and no amount of playing bfn will change my opinion on that.
I prefer chomper, all star, and cactus' old designs tbh and cactus definetly had better pigmentation lightning in garden warfare along side all stars clothes which were changed for his taller design.
Citron is fine I just wish his body was connected and he still had cool guy shades.
Corn is ok just less detailed than garden warfare.
Soldier and superbrainz got the best new zombies designs but their faces seem uncanny.
Why do all the zombies have green eyes, just why? In every game they are portrayed with dead black pupils why suddenly add green around them?
Idk how to feel about peashooter but his walk and eyebrows are kinda uncanny.
They removed engineers crack 0/10.
I don't like scientists new design he looks like that kid that picked on in middle school.
The new characters fit the new art style the best.
My firm opinion of bfn's artstlye has to be the argument alongside pvz 3 and the logo changes in the regards of the old one is iconic and works well so why really try to change what works for the series so drastically and suddenly.
