Acceptable game res?

Rockley Bonner

Lets say for a charachter in a console game. the one im doing is around 1970.

RTS, 3rd person shooter, FPS throw away enemy, hero, 200ft tall boss character? Bipedal human, tenti-monster, octopod, centaur?

This is very "how many polys in a piece of string".

I see, generaly, all that would be calculated out at first and then a budget would be passed down to you the artist. How about throw away enemy in a PFS?

Gears of War characters are over 10k triangles for example.

Well, in a Plastered Face Shooter, you can really do what every you want, because everyone is too drunk to notice. . .

unless you were talking about a Pretty Freakin' Small game, and then of course, you can get away with pretty low poly counts.
