I'd still like to see it and hear your opinion if you don't mind.

Not a problem. Here it is (probably still processing so isn't that high of quality yet):





By the way, upon further testing it looks like it transitions to night right at 6:00 PM your time, and then gets bright again at 6:00 AM.

Nice. Those sound effect sure are bad. They need to be toned down a bit. Lucky, thanks to Mr. Davis , the Oakland theme is probably one of the only ones that doesn't have a readability issue. I really dislike themes that use a light background with light colored lettering. Giving you an option to change the letter color or at least transition it the opposite way of the day/night would be a nice feature.

Nice review and breakdown, Blzer. Thanks.

Edit: Looks like maybe I'm wrong about Oakland too. It looks like that first line is still in the sky.

Oh, keep in mind I increased my volume dramatically (0.0 dB) just so you know what it sounds like. It's not really "in your face" loud or anything at normal volume, I just would prefer not having those sound effects. The regular PSN clicks are fine for me.

And my camera mic must be giving out, because I don't like how it makes me sound like I have some weird lisp or speech impediment with my "s" sounds, or like there's a retainer in my mouth or something lol.

I did the same. I was wondering what your impressions were. I think it looks good but I'm really disappointed that you don't get to see more of the skyline. I mean, that's one of the major draws of the park in the first place.

Big thanks, that was a lot more informative than the official video. I didn't even think of the legibility of the text would be an issue. And, I didn't realize that the "key tone" option was to turn off theme sounds. I think I'll give the Cubs theme a purchase even with the issues. I'm been using "A Tranquil Stream" dynamic theme for awhile now and it's really nice.

I tried to analyze your mathematical formula, but it did not compute.

$60 plus a $3 theme (which is not an add-on but optional for viewing pleasure) = $200?!

He was talking about the percentage increase, which would actually be closer to $180 unless you include tax as well. I would make the same argument, and in fact I did when McDonald's increased their price of double cheeseburgers 20% (that is, from $1.00 to $1.20).
