Title Picture
« on: February 09, 2012, 04:53:31 PM »
I'm not sure if that's what its actually called but I'm talking about the one that comes up when the game first starts.

Has anyone ever wondered why HTC used a picture with a fake sky and fake wingtip trails in it for the title art? I agree it looks cool and I'm not taking anything away from cactuskooler but it's a little misleading compared to the actually 2D clouds and total lack of wingtip trails we have in game.

That is not retouched. That is an actual shot from in game.

How often have you seen wingtip vapor trails in game?  (Or clouds like that for that matter?)

I liked how they had a rotation going.  Current one was stale months ago.

It seems like false advertising to me. Imagine a first timer logging and seeing that picture and thinking "WOW! This game looks great!" and then getting into the arena and seeing the low quality clouds and lack of vapor trails. I, personally, would be pretty disappointed.

There was a title screen contest a while back. You can find the original thread, I believe Pyro posted, if you fell like searching the boards.

Sounds like a whine to me too.

Why would people complain when there's no place better to go...?
