I agree, but, we all know that DS hasnt got aound to making images of every scene that happens in those rooms. Once he does it once, he'll have to do every scene,.. and every scene from then on, because players will then have a potentially alternative view of every event that happens, at various times of day. They may only need to be smaller, or less detailed pictures, but thats still an assheap of pictures to create. It would be a most awesome improvement, and would change the way that the game needs to be played.
But,.. this IS what we imagine with the whole "1984 big brother is watching!"
I think he's just putting it off more and more because he knows there will be a lot of work, and its going to become too big a task to do eventually. I just hope that he doesn't just cover all that and do a few different reaction shots that only shows Max looking at a screen, and describe what Max can see.. He's already had enough negative feedback that should tell him to give players Max's view.
