    I was just wondering, because the thps2 demo on the pc ran at 60fps and the only level in it (marseille) happened at sunset instead of noon in the console versions, but the full pc game ran at 30fps and the marseille level happened during noon.

    Well, a lot of demos differ from the full version, because often the demo's are made from the development version, instead of the final version of a game.

    Switching from 60 fps to 30 fps might be done to stabilize performance with the larger levels with a bigger drawing distance.

    It doesn't really explain why the marseille level was switched from sunset to noon (it's a personal preference but I think the sunset version looked better ): )

    Yeah, but in montreal, in the province of quebec.

    And down there, there used to be a time when even school teachers were anal about english so I had to learn it by myself.

    just messing a bit with a twist

    Oh fuck we are having another Quebecois ? Jesus, Josef and fucking Mary.

    I believe it was De Gaule who said "vive Quebec" and ever since that day you were not content with being French Canadians, you shouted out you were Quebecois ;)

    Okay everett1911, we all learn. And it is better to aim for something high like having a good written , or for that matter spoken English. But the whole thing about The English vs. The French is an old tale, which is like when I used to tease the Swedes and vice versa. But I think it is bad to tease the Swedes, because Denmark and Sweden has too much bad history between us, on both sides. And to be perfectly honest, my English is definitely not perfect at all. I had three quarters of a year in normal school when it comes to the English language, and from that day on. I worked my arse off, to either speak or write the English language and sound more British in my pronunciation of the words. Also my father said to me, the other day. " the next time you correct some guy or girl, just because her grammar is bad in either Danish or English, then it is basically me whom you are correcting no matter what your intentions are". And my father is no dimwit at all, he went up and got an A+ (twice) in the oral Danish exam. And that is no joke at all. And to top it off, my father has dyslexia and
    Dyscalculia , and if any one tries to be fun with my father about that, I swear I will bust their head open faster than a shotgun shell goes through a melon.
    Heck I gave a person a verbal beatdown some months ago because he was a fuckhead when it came to my father. So the man he went out the store and apologised to my father.

    How does it not explain it? If it was from a development version its likely that it was a change they made late on before the game went final.

    What I meant is that there was no real reason why they'd change a sky texture and the entire lighting of the level.

    My only guess is that they wanted the game to look the same as on the consoles.
