The impudent ridicule of the creators of Postal addressed to Starfield turned against themselves
Developers from the Running With Scissors studio, responsible for the ambiguous series of Postal, tried to make fun of the fifth Starfield on social networks, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The representative of Running with Scissors on Twitter decided to compare the advertising picture of the original Red Dead Redemption with the Starfield character screenshot, pointing out the differences between them as the reason for which developers "Update engines when creating new games".
Although this daring tweet collected more than 630,000 views as of June 13, he met mainly a negative reaction from both the fans of the Bethesda game and their own community. Some of them called on the studio to fix Postal 4 before "Break" others, as one of the fans said.
"I love you guys, but for some reason Postal 4 looks deliberately sloppy than Postal 2. The game is simply broken and made in haste, not to mention terrible optimization. Before criticizing other studios, finally fix your game". – writes a user with the nickname Aijec. "Why don’t you finally bring Postal 4 to an acceptable state before starting to make fun of others?" – Angent47il asks.
No less critical statements followed after the tweet was published in the Reddit section dedicated to Starfield. " Strong statement by the one who created Postal 4. The game from 2022, but at the same time it looks like they forgot to add the effect of the surrounding light, and the shadows and animation of the characters look like they were created in 2000". – He counts Rogue_Moon_boy. " Because if someone knows something about creating excellent games, then these are definitely the creators of Postal." – Another user adds.
As the representative of Running with Scissors said to the editors of the Game Rant portal, the post was conceived mainly as "humorous". "We know that our games are not equal to big titles". – The representative of the studio said, noting, however, that some "Facts about the current state of the gaming industry" It is necessary to say loudly. At the same time, he confirmed that the developers accept criticism of Postal 4 to heart and work on correcting new errors and improvements.
