graphics2 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeUsers appreciate the graphics for their potential to create unique and visually appealing effects, particularly when used with video synthesis and streaming. The ability to incorporate these visuals into platforms like Twitch adds a creative layer, allowing for aesthetic matching with games. Overall, the graphics are seen as a versatile tool for enhancing visual experiences.
“I have mainly been using it in video mode with ripped VHS tapes to get some cool visuals for streaming and video synthesis.”
“Aside from just playing with it, I could imagine incorporating it into my Twitch stream, replacing my normal webcam source with a game capture source that's capturing this program. Not all the time, but as a gimmick for whatever reason, like matching the game's aesthetic when playing Tetris Effect.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“Character models are poorly designed and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
“The environments are bland and repetitive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
