Games now look fucking terrible

Games now look fucking terrible

Doesn't matter if they're realistic AAA, stylized, indie, western, japanese, high budget, low budget, with in-house art, outsourced art, they all look fucking awful and it's maddening, it's maddening that it keeps happening, that artists keep doing it without stepping back to reevaluate what they're doing, and that players don't seem to fucking notice

Exceptions like Kunitsu-Gami are far too rare given how much money and how many artists are involved in making games

I'd love to see more games with ps2 era graphics, but to blanket state that all modern games - no matter AAA or indie - look like shit, is either a statement of ignorance or extreme restrictive taste.

do it better, where is your game?

Both look kinda ass, though.

Disco Elysium looks like shit, sorry you had to find out this way

i dont really care
we should focus on story and gameplay

i dont really care

we should focus on gameplay

so true

I work 50 hours a week and am exhausted for 1 day when i dont work
finally on my other day off some progress is made then I have to go back to work and I can't leave because I'm poor and cant afford anything and go in debt whenever I need to buy something that isnt food.

I don't feel the need to play any game that looks like dogshit no matter the story and gameplay

sorry you had to find out this way

Only the fruitiest of redditors speak like this.

posts a second reddit game in a row

DMC

bait used to be believable
DMC 5 is is BEAUTIFUL

posts no game

Too self-conscious?

The worst part is npcs who are impressed by default engine features that lack any artistic input. Oblivion remastered is a perfect example of a world that feels like default store assets thrown into ue5 and yet souless nerds like digital foundry jerk off to it like it's an artistic revelation.

I said Kunitsu-Gami looks good, Crow Country does a fine job of emulating PS1 aesthetics while being modern, Vikings on Trampolines has gorgeous pixel art, Cuphead is fantastic but it's up there in years, but like I said good-looking exceptions are super rare as most devs have let engines and outsourced artists take the wheel, or at best fallen victim to trends and memes in place of art direction

people making games have the same problems

Maybe you should stop playing for a while. I think they look fine. Most games need a little resahde tweaking and that's it

I find it funny that you consider Kunitsu-Gami and Crow Country to look good while disparaging Disco Elysium and the Ori games, especially given that Kunitsu-Gami in particular looks like slop. Games that look good or have a unique and fun art style will always be in the minority compared to games that look bland. This isn't a new phenomena.

especially given that Kunitsu-Gami in particular looks like slop

You're thinking of Disco Elysium

NTA but

bro you have to constantly be working when you arent at work you NEED a side hustle and you NEED to start a bunch of businesses (no I won't specify what those businesses are you just need to find that niche that no one else did regardless of what industry you work in) NO SLEEP NO FREE TIME GET TO FUCKING WORK!!!!!!

no thanks, don't you grindtok niggers ever get tired of shilling this shit

I truly despise this desaturated modern garbage. Why did fantasy stop looking like fantasy?

nah

n-no u

Classic! Glad to have you back half-chan

there's been industry brain drain for a very long time now, and to make matters worse artists have mostly been replaced by asset farms in India, China and SEAmonkey countries with companies like Lemon Sky and Passion Republic
the tech side of things doesn't fare much better, since they're all using the same broken tech which leads to shit like TAA shimmer and artifacts everywhere (look at the part where you exit the sewer in the Oblivion remake, the weapon reflects in the fucking water, laughable)
games are x10 more demanding to run but look x10 worse than 6th gen games, regression by every metric

Quality of fictional fantasy directly correlates with the amount of hopefulness in the world

obsessives are no longer game devs
hobbyists are now game devs

Nice try at lumping BothW/TotK in with the others.
While their worlds aren't as vibrant as they ought to be, they aren't really in the same garbage league.

4 attack combo spammed over and over

God I've forgotten how aids DMC5 earlygame is, I've been watching my bro play it for the first time and remembering you need to play as Niro and V makes me understand why so many people fucking hated it

ye the autistic savants are getting hired by faang for a lot more money and less grueling hours.

I like them both equally; i.e. I love how FF12 looks for being the peak of the low polygon 3D era in 2006 and how amazing 16 looks for what we were expecting with the new modern standards in gaming. Also, using Nino no Kuni 2 is a bad example as its art is the total opposite of your statement and your argument gets worse when you look at the first game in the series. It's like shitting on Michelangelo and praising Rafael... it makes no sense.

Art is subjective and minimalism being good or bad is just an opinion, you have one and I gave you mine.

This era looks more "fun" though, which i know is a totally abstract quality to define but I can't shake the feeling. I'm guessing it's just art style related and the use of brighter colors and less anti soul gas.

Yeah, nah, you're a cunt. Ni No Kuni 2's backgrounds ought to look at least part way like handpainted Ghibli backgrounds, but they just look like generic crap, oversaturated with details.

It's more of "filling in the blanks and curves" with your own imagination and sense of depth.

work 50 hours a week

still poor

Americans

Damn, this is beautiful.

Not all of us are blindly loyal to companies we deluded ourselves into thinking they're our friends

Third world works 60 hours, jews won, modern slavery is real

Nah

be retarded

blame jews

kek

It's funny that you think you know anything about me and my preferences.

They are ramping up for AI color. Peasants onoy get antisoulgas grey

What in the world are you talking about?

Your fault for supporting LCD

Bro is using a 2004 dell LCD for reference...

That they will sell you a saturation slider with coming gfx card updates that fixes the washed out look of current gen games and people will pretend like it was necessary.

yeah he needs to buy a 6k QOLED to make it a fair fight

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO

MicroLED has surpassed CRT

While that's funny, they won't be able to solve it that way. The actual decisions made on shapes, colors, details, and spatial composition are just shit now.
The grey piss filters are merely a symptom.

All LCD are like that

And it only took 22 years!

It was only half a joke, I know that it won't be a fix but I'm pretty sure that coming iterations of upscaling will have presets to smear over the actual gfx. Like running framework mods but as a retard catch all solution. This will probably kick all the problems of current gfx up another notch because they need to care less an I will play the same now 10+ year old games in 8k...

That'll be $149,999.98 + tip

middle looks best, you can see the cliff in the shade, like in real life. it wouldn't be pitch black in real life like the right most picture.

Eh, whatever. Games that look shit won't magically look any better with AI on top.
But you're probably right that they're going to try to make us pay for it anyway.

Oversatured shit.
