Is this an explaination for the kind of thing that would make framerates less than they could be? It's indicative of a rushed job at best, or sloppy programming at worst right?
I ran a comparison of the museum from SH4 with a large BB to one from SH5 (with 3D clouds, High-quality textures and Shadows all turned off) and there's a difference of atleast 15-29 FPS between the two. I just don't think this is necessary. With all the fancy SFX turned off, the graphics engine for Sh5 is virtually identical to SH4, so what gives?!
