Yup, the shields in XXL2 look a bit weird, but that's how it is for everyone ^^
They are a bit more pixelated than I initially expected them to be.
But if nothing can be done about it, it's absolutely fine.
In the first game they have a much more 'clean' look.
That's right.

I prefer the ones from XXL1 but I guess that's normal
keep in mind some assets from XXL1 are used in XXL2 as well
I think it's like Spyro 1 to 2
They had to reduce polycount of shields to use that elsewhere
and then OG used 2D shields
ye it just makes development a lot faster to reuse old stuff
Can someone send a "alpha" version of shields?
wut?

I mean strange shield bar from the demo video of beta XXL2.
oh i dont think its possible to extract 🤔
Man, Bink's video player is free.
