Scared Stiff Art Issues

• The spider and the part of the backglass it spins on, as well as the inserts for the different awards, have extremely low-resolution textures, especially compared to the high-resolution Scared Stiff logo and Elvira.
• The skill shot light is blue. On the real Scared Stiff, it's white. The same for the Tele-Pathetic Power light in the right outlane. (Although I actually like the blue better and would not be opposed to leaving it alone.)
• The lighting bolts emanating from the remote are white when lit. On the real SS, they're a much more saturated yellow-orange.
• The Bony Beast tale light has yellow letters when unlit that magically become the same color red as the clear parts of the insert when lit.
• The "eyes" on the crate are yellow. On the real SS, they're red.

A few art issues I've noticed on the iOS version of Scared Stiff:

Also, could one of the forum mods look at the Art Discussion forum? I tried to post this there, since it's an art issue rather than a bug, but the forum kept demanding I choose a thread prefix without displaying the box for me to select a thread prefix, which makes it hard to post...

Is he basically saying "We know it is glitchey, but we are going to sell it anyway"?

Annoying yes but unfortunately that sentence sums up the whole games industry. Game devs release games with obvious bugs and glitches that there is no way they didn't know about all the time. I'm not saying its acceptable, just that they ALL do it.

We are aware of the resolution issues on the backglass area of Scared Stiff. Scared Stiff is a very organic table which made it difficult to keep the polycount down, at the risk of losing the resolution on the table assets where most of the game is played we decided to take the quality loss in the backglass. I understand this is a bad excuse, I know that. I am working to make sure you guys will not have to stare at the low rez backglass for too long. Thanks for all the feedback.

That makes sense to me, looking at the table geometry involved. I would have thought that polycount would also be an issue on Monster Bash, given the number of monster toy figures etc. How does this look on the Vita?

Only after Creature From The Black Lagoon , did DLC tables start taking a serious dive in quality .

Not bad really , the toys aren't that great but so small you barely notice that. The graphics seemed in focus and framerate was decent . Only after Creature From The Black Lagoon , did DLC tables start taking a serious dive in quality .

So is this why the PS Vita version looks worse than any other table ? You have to keep polygons down or the framerate goes below 30 fps or whatever the desired framerate is? Or did something go terribly wrong at the conversion stage that only manifested after the DLC installs?

The PSVita users would like some kind of statement why our Elvira Scared Stiff table looks as bad as it does , is the art department proud of that one? If it's agreed it could and should look better ? when can we expect a update that is equal to the quality of the core tables on Vita?
