PSA: Second Halo Legends episode free, available today only
Nov 22nd 2009 3:32AM (Joystiq)However the one thing that did nag me about this short was the fact that they had Appleseed quality 3D animation behind a huge watercolour filter. Appleseed is very old nowadays, and the animation, without nostalgia-goggles, isn't very high quality. Thus when it is used in a new short, it feels really dated. There were plenty of scenes where the characters don't move at all (excluding the ones where it was done for effect) and others that just looked strange.
Plus, they apparently even made two different facial models for the elites, one accurate and one innaccurate, just because the innaccurate one was easier to animate, apparently.
However, I did enjoy the short. It just could have been a lot better.

It's very rare that I ever hear someone talking welsh. And I do in fact have a whopping C-grade GCSE in it. I can confirm that it's a gobbledegook language, but I'm english, of course I'd say that.
Basically, don't give that guy a hard time. It does NOT make sense to make the game in welsh, since the potential users of it are vastly lower than the cost of the game.
Think about if Modern Warfare 2 was only available in Chinese. Similar concept.
