It's a classic soda post because it's an assertion on a topic that didn't need refutation. The claims made in the OP seem like common sense to anyone who has seen either game in action. It also seemed to come out of the blue, like it would if I were to make a thread titled, I don't know, "An Essay on the Economics of Nigeria" in the Everything Else forum. Yes, technically it's OK to make such a thread; it's consistent with the subject of the subforum. But boy would it seem random, even within the context of a forum where you can make a thread on all sorts of subjects.
On that note, it's a classic soda post because it just didn't need its own thread. If this is an offshoot of some random conversation in some other thread, the least that could have been done is to add that disclosure so people didn't open the thread, like I did, and just say, "Well, duh... why does this thread even exist?"
All that said, for what it's worth, and to anyone that it's not blatantly obvious to: Moving D3 over to iT5 would destroy D3's core gameplay. The gameplay relies on the real-time lighting. The aesthetic relies on said lighting even more. iT5 is a total piece of shit when it comes to immersion via lighting. I loved Rage, but its indoor areas are the flattest, dullest, least-inspiring environments I've seen this generation. The textures looked like they were from a 2002 game, or worse.
But really, that seems like common sense to anyone who has the slightest clue. Seems like this could have been covered in whichever thread this idea was being thrown around in.
