Winterwind Productions has kicked up a review of Troika's Vampire: Bloodlines. The score is 9/10 and here's the opening section:Graphics: Let it first be said, that the machine I used to play VTMB on can no longer be called a top-notch machine, and is probably in below average end of today’s spectrum. That said it is still no excuse for less than good programming. Whilst the graphics weren’t bad, they could certainly have been better and less power consuming. To run the game at a playable framerate, I had to put the various effects down to a bare minimum. In comparison, the same machine is able to run Doom 3 in high resolution, and with most effects cranked up to maximum, with an average framerate of 30 to 40. Still, the graphics weren’t bad, and I believe they would have been stunning if run on a better machine. But this doesn’t cover up the fact, that they could have done a better job. Or used the Doom 3 engine. |
