It’s because they’re using white light reflections on skin. Everyone looks either wet or waxy. A bit of white light reflection might make sense on a lip or maaaaybe the tip of a nose, but the whole body? Very odd choice. A lot of odd choices in this graphics update.Did anyone mention/notice how horrible dark skinned characters look in this graphical 'upgrade'?
Take Lyon for example
His skin has this strange sheen that looks like legit wet clay and he's got dents for abs (which were there before but this details it in a really bad way)...There's a too much detail on the collarbone area for every single character it downright looks abit gross. I don't know what's going on with dark skinned characters but Fran looks downright horrific. I'm scared to check Gaius up. I don't really have screenshot to screenshot as alot of my old shots were lost when my SSD ripped.
I honestly think the old graphics had some charm. These feel oddly flat. I hope they improve on that or do something to remedy dark skinned characters to make them look less clay/plastic like.
