Hex was pretty much like a Theatre play in terms of execution, but instead of watching a stage, you are ON the stage.
The projection is no worse than the old seizure-fest
People seem far too eager/desperate to throw a wobbly and say something is "ruined" these days. I blame hate-bate youtube thumbnails.
This can be applied to any reboot of any major franchise of fans wanting it before then hating the damn thing.Enthusiasts - "Towers needs to reopen Hex, it's awful without it!"

Indeed. Which is, I suspect, why they're trying something new. I think projections are a good fit for the problem in concept, but they probably can't rely on perfect alignment like most building based projection mapping is dependant on. Hence why it's more of a particle effect. I'm sure we'll see it get refined along with more dialling in of the other lights with the new system they've installed. Same as we've seen them progressively adjust curse or even the teeth on Nemesis based on feedback.Although i guess it is hard to get an āintense finaleā on a madhouse though
