Why are you following up your post with another copy of it? It's annoying
for people who disagree with your point of view. IMO developers are spending
too much time on eye candy and not enough on gameplay. I don't need to have
them spending more time on better eye candy when there are other areas where
progress can be made. I'd like to have 32-bit color and large textures too
but if they're going to do eye candy, I'd prefer things like a less angular
appearance, ie., more polygons.
