    Shadows in Super Mario 3D World

    I can't exactly pinpoint it, but the long, wrapping shadows seem off. This is especially noticeable when characters jump up walls or obstacles. Many such examples from 0:40 to 1:00 in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iywt4cNb650#t40

    IronFall

    I have not included the platform in the title or it would get less clicks! :grin: It seems impressive considering the platform, but brownish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyriIQfRMf0 http://www.vd-dev.com/News/IronFall_Tech_Preview_HighBitrate.zip (60FPS) They had also made impressive...
