The images for Gemini Rue are misleading, here's why by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 06/12/2012, 6:38pm PDT
You're looking at a 640x480 image which is being rendered at 1280x1024 and thus it makes it look better in screenshots than it does when you see it. Every dot of every pixel is about 4 times as large compared to standard video. Here's a sample where, when you see it from a distance it looks great (as in the first two images) , but see it as it is rendered on the screen (the third image) and you see how choppy and blocky, and plain horrible (or butt ugly, take your pick) it looks.
