Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[MyRedNeptune]

Bridge hit the nail on the head there. I've been following this discussion since it started, but I was too lazy to write my own reply.

My opinion is that graphics, in the wide sense of the word, should be built from the bottom up, with general visual style, composition and color balance (what I like to call "bias", for convenience' sake) coming before technical quality, and that consistency should not be sacrificed in favor of a more realistic or high-res texture.

With that in mind, I will dare point out that I don't see a particular appeal in what Googolplex presented in his screenshots as compared to Amnesia's graphics. The scenes lack visual integrity.
