When did shitting on state of the art photorealistic games with 2 billion dollar budgets became popular?

at worst you won't even notice it

at best it adds to the immersion and looks neat

what's issue here??

when did reposting twitter morons become so embraced on Anon Babble?

a years worth of rent

Put a number on it, you twitter faggot. Where do you live that a PC = a year of rent?

consolefags finally reached bubble gen

you think he actually bothered to look up component prices?

until it's cracked on PC.

see you in 2031, maybe then budget GPUs will also be capable to play it at Xbox Series S level of performance

heh you madden guys are idiots

no you dont get it i HAVE to play the new gta

PS5/Xbox x are shit though in terms of hardware. It'll come out late 2026 or in 2027 for PC.

Brazil

I want le shorter games with worse graphics and IM NOT KIDDING
Fucking Reddit ass hipster mentality.
Maybe it’s okay for the big hitters to go all out and make obscenely detailed games? There is no shortage of stylized simpler games

PS5/Xbox x are shit though in terms of hardware. It'll come out late 2026 or in 2027 for PC.

Sour grapes and sunk cost fallacy: The post
Keep coping and hoping lil bro, GTA 5 came out on PC 19 months after double dipping on next gen systems, Now imagine how much time it will take after they need to triple dip for the switch 2 and PS6

building a PC now costs a years worth of rent

The fuck? No it doesn't. I worked for a few months and saved up enough to build a midrange PC.

Honestly I'd really like if a PC truly cost a year's worth of rent, because then all the turdworlder sandfuckers and children stealing their parents' money wouldn't be kept away from my hobby, it would only be adults with money.

Xbox is completely dead, bro, PS isn't selling like it used to. Take-Two has to go where the market is.

Graphicsfags have been shit on for over 25 years, anon.

It took at most 1 day of work from 1 artist to create this bottle. Don't see what the deal is.

because the trailer is faked as fuck and I don't give a shit about what Rockstar said, They always lie about this shit.

shush don't let normalfags realize 99% of their purchases cost nothing to make.

Is really simple. Amazing graphics accompanied by dogwater gameplay equals trash game, duh.

opportunity cost

PS isn't selling like it used to

Obviously, that's why Sony emphasized MAUs in their fiscal report and subsequently have the highest in the entire industry at 240 dollars per customer annually while steam is at 1/3rd of that.

Take-Two has to go where the market is

Yeah, the market is on PlayStation, everything else is an afterthought meant to double dip for FOMOtards

fuck off retard
RDR2 was a technical marvel, this game will be a technical marvel

madden morons buy the same game yearly
there's almost 2 console generations between GTA 5 and 6

played some vr with friends recently and the sense of immersion was pretty impressive even if the graphics were low poly. after we were done i was really out of it, felt like i was still in the fucking game. can't imagine what a game like alyx would do to my brain

is this nigga retarded, its on a $500 PS5 running on hardware from almost a decade ago

my rent is $1,800 a month

$21,600 a year

who the fucking is buying a 20k set up?

what do you want instead of simulated liquid

Poorfags can't live without complaining

the market is on PlayStation

lol. Even sony's crap is coming to Switch 2/PC.

child prostitutes

somebody tell this guy GTA 6 isn't even launching on PC and is being shown on a 5 year old console

When did shitting on state of the art photorealistic games[...] became popular?

When the gameplay started to suffer for it... so 2007-2009ish?

he wants that money to himself

A good fucking game? Missions that aren't "follow the script notes exactly or you fail"? Characters you care about? A well paced story? Good jokes? Better driving mechanics? Competent gunplay?

Unless it has realistic foam physics this is just an extra shader map. Shouldn't be a big deal.

a year's worth of rent

Is his rent $150 a month or what?

whaaat a fizzling bubble shader that costs 5 dollars on blender market and takes 2 hours to script? NOT IN MY GAME!!!

an actual optimized shader for a game meant to run at 4-6k resolution with 4x MSAA at 90fps
the gameplay is boring but its a graphical masterpiece

Always if you aren't a braindead lemming easily influenced by shiny things

for a rockstar game not to freak out because I decided to go 1 inch off the chosen path during a mission

he doesnt pay rent, he is most likely an upper middle class ironic weeb kid living with his parents who has 0 clue on the value of anything

Alyx did it as a shader.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Rockstar tech autism. In fact it's extremely refreshing seeing this level of detail since every fucking game coming out nowadays is so lazy and soulless. People just want to be contrarians

everything is prebaked

A shitty open world game shouldn't cost billions of dollars and take 10 years and 1000000 of manhours to make.

Its extremely wasteful and everyone knows the game will be average at best and you could have made 20 really good games using those same developers who wasted most of their adult lives on this slop.

It should be mocked at belittled constantly because of how retarded it is.

wouldn't it be nice if you got a modern rockstar game where they didn't need to put two million GAME OVER excuses in every mission because things might not align up exactly with their expensive cutscenes

good gameplay
but it's a rockshit game it isn't their priority

Normies don't even care that it's not even the best use of that visual.
Half life alyx did this in VR where you can actually pick up, tilt and shake the bottle to influence the liquid and bubbles inside.

poorfag tears

a 5 year old console built with 8 year old mid range pc hardware
basically a AMD 3600 and RX 5700
you can easily build something more powerful than a ps5 with hand-me-downs

expensive pc parts exist

i have no job and i must seethe

kek paying rent
kek

lol. Even sony's crap is coming to Switch 2/PC.

That doesn't dethrone them from being number 1 in every metric possible

Exactly.

They already spent the time making it. I want the end result as autistic as possible if I'm going to wait that long and pay $100. I'd rather them scale back the next game though.

Where is a year of rent only the cost of making a new PC?

You’re genuinely really lucky if building a pc costs a year of rent. Regular apartments in safe neighborhoods cost $1.5-2k/mo, sometimes even 3k/mo. A good pc at most costs 2k or 3k.

level design has been stagnant for years

NPC AI has been stagnant as well

character design has fallen off the cliff

BUT LOOK AT THE BUBBLES!

Imagine how much important aspects of games would be advanced if the industry wasn't taken over by graphics fags.

by that logic you can buy a used ps5 for 200 dollars and mog the rtx 2060 you found in garbage disposal

So what if it has that and the bubble?

Do you think the artists are responsible for any of these things?

Whoa, a shader, also

falling for trailer shenanigans yet AGAIN

these "people" can trip on the same stone 3 times and somehow choke on it too

Being outsold in software/hardware isn't winning, anon

i sincerely doubt it, going by gtav and rdr2. theyd rather focus on shit nobody cares about instead of good gameplay

no, but i think someone at rockstar is responsible for this wrong set of priorities

I bought GTAV for $60 more than 10 years ago lol I am not a madden nigger

fair
it's not money thing it's just R* fags being heigh on their own farts with their forced "cinematic experience"
bubbles have nothing to do with their creative decisions

maybe around 2017 when it was obvious game quality was, overall, getting worse
see: walking sims, nu-God of Sôy, TLoU, mirrors not working in games because shitty gay tracing tech was pushed WAAAAAAY too early to market

yeah and it's a good thing

The last thread was such kino

u samefag

U SAMEFAG

samefagging

Why should I care about fizzing beer in a videogame when I can have a real bottle of beer in my hands?

Everyone is activated and blaming each other for everything instead of blaming the people who actually have power ie government and corporations. Is it Fifa Slobs fault that GTA6 will cost $100? He didn't take 10 years to build the game, he wanted it 5+ years ago. He didn't build the chips, he buys consoles. He didn't hurt your game, he barely plays games at all.

being outnumbered in usercount primarily from third world shitholes like china, Russia and Brazil definitely is, right?

Bro 3 of your complaints is writing related

There has never been a point in video games where there weren't games made with state of the art graphics and lacking gameplay. Look back at the 90s, for example. The idea that "more bits = better games" was pushed at the start of the decade, and by the end, 3D-accelerated graphics had arrived and the idea that "more 3D = cooler game" came with it. The actually good games rose to the top and have stood the test of time, but there was a lot of crap that coasted on its graphics back then too

And?

Good for Valve I guess with their PC monopoly

You think one guy makes the game?

why do madden and fifa chads make people so mad

Anon Babble tards are angry that GTA is popular with them and not bing bing wahoo or anime blade or some shit

or maybe he's just being dramatic for the sake of humour, you moronic autist

it's not a big deal. gamers are just subhuman fucking retards and complain about the wrong things constantly. never listen to the customer

What? You implying it's impossible to have coherent, likable characters or a well-paced story with a big team or something? It is easier with a smaller team, I'll give you that.

Why the fuck would some in the art/graphics department making bubbles in the drink affect a completely different department like the writing team

thread full of seething Maddencucks impressed by useless shit

go buy all the releases since EA is your daddy boy

About 30 years ago.

When did shitting on state of the art photorealistic games

When people started getting poor and realizing they're upgrading their PCs just so liberal devs could render tranny nosehairs lol

They wouldn't, but someone at Rockstar is clearly putting too much priority on useless shit like that and not giving enough priority to shit that does matter. I dunno who that would be, the director, the producer, it doesn't matter but that nigga needs to be fired.

so you blame one department for the actions of another?

we WANT them to go all out making an insanely detailed game. read a fuckin book fag. none of the games you like have good writing lmao

About 15 years ago when NBA games kept advertising their games with shit like "You can see the pours sweat on the skin" Like that shit matters to fucking anyone.

Effectively, yes. You're a fucking cum guzzling retard if you think that two programmers work twice as fast as one, ten work ten times as fast as one, or 100 work 100 times as fast as one.

Adding more people to do shit that nobody really cares about slows down the entire process. Arguing otherwise is arguing against the entire industry-worth of examples, thousands of developers who point out this very specific point publicly, and tens of thousands of engineers who work outside of gaming who explain this principle in a manner that only AAA game devs wouldn't comprehend.

I blame an incompetent producer.

none of the games you like have good writing lmao

I'm impressed you said that when I haven't told you about the games I think have good writing.

right is work of a surgeon

uhh actually they're both CGI...

Max Payne 3 was realistic and detailed and had some of the best TPS gameplay so the point sounds retarded

well that's impressive

A switch 2 is cheaper :)

hurf durf thats what a real woman looks like have sex

its like people forgot there was a time hollywood movies were full off dolled up pretty people and nobody complained because we all understand media is an exaggeration of reality, not a simulation of it. if i wanted to see uggos id go to a "people who whine about beauty standards in games" convention

nobody really cares about

source?

I blame an incompetent producer.

This is correct, GTA/RDR slower gameplay is a deliberate choice not one based on lack of attention. Gameplay is one of the first things they get down after story. Detail comes last. The games aren't bug, the people who oversee the project want it that way horse balls and fizzy bubbles or not

shill that graphics have plateaued and we will never get to enjoy generational jumps again

shill that advancement in graphics is le bad and should be stopped

Fucking niggercattle kys

When did shitting on state of the art photorealistic games with 2 billion dollar budgets became popular?

2006.

shit that nobody really cares about

that's the thing, a lot of people do care about that. There are more games now than ever that are going with the opposite approach. with stylized graphics, less realism, experimental gameplay, etc.
Why is it such a problem for one of the titans of the industry to just make something with a different approach?

GTA and RDR being slower is a conscious decision to use root motion for more realistic animations, and everything else being slower because of console limitations and "realism". It was a terrible decision and I hate every game that uses root motion because they feel slow and shitty.

It's just a shader, Half Life Alyx has something even better with liquid in bottles.

And it's now hitting you that those small bubbles took actual dev time to complete for something no one would ever notice.

nobody cares about instead of good gameplay

tell me the shooting in GTAV is worse than any prior GTA with a straight face you fucking retard

There's one team director whose word is final
He's responsible for everything that comes out of his team

It isn't but it's really not that good either. GTAIV at least had the physics to make guns feel appropriately punchy even if the gunplay in that was nothing great either.

Except here’s an entire thread of people noticing and there have been other threads. You are retarded

level design

its GTA what the fuck do you want?

exponentially rising costs for severely diminishing returns

"Sure it added $2M to the budget and delayed release by three months but now your character's piss color will accurately reflect how hydrated they are!"

root motion for more realistic animations

jesus christ shut the fuck up you moron. the reason for the slow ass animations isn't fucking root motion

The writing doesn't suddenly become good if the guy says not fizzy bubbles. You're assumption is that the games aren't supposed to play the way they do

It's almost as if we're in a thread complaining about how pointless it was to dedicate time to making it.

I personally love it, to put it succinctly it feels like my character is a real little dude in a simulated world, and not a hollow model sliding around. The vast majority of games should not bother with this approach but I like variety.

I noticed while watching some of the leaks of Lucia walking around it really looks like they're trying to make it faster and more responsive this time. Hard to say though. Might be a nice middle ground

Sure I have to play with Miami trash PPP loan abusing nig and spic characters but zomg LE BEER BUBBLES

nooooo you can’t just do the thing i claimed was impossible!

Insane that it's not 3d, but a clever texture and shader trick.

those bubbles are a small part of a bigger system the team has worked on

The beauty of iterating the same engine for decades
once the main stuff is pretty much perfected, needing a couple of tweaks at most, you can "waste" time with little details like these

And it almost as if it puts to lie your cuckolded claim. Wait nothing almost about it you are simply a liar.

who gives a shit about state of the art when the game can't even run at 60fps? Focus on making good gameplay and good performance and then care about everything else.

When buying the new flagship GPU became a requirement for 1080p medium settings at 60 fps. All for woke pandering slop that isn't even remotely fun to play.

And yet they've done nothing since 2013

Why is it a requirement if you don’t want to play it? Just keep playing your snes games and stop whining like a woman

RDR2 came out and still looks better than most games

I'm currently replaying TBOGT and shooting feels better than in V.
I'd be satisfied with VI gunplay if it has IV ragdoll AND fun weapons.

GTA still has basically the same game design as GTA3, but that's fine because Anon Babbleirgin retards are dazzled by muh realistic physics

dei troon garbage

when they hired indians that can't optimize for shit to make these games so they look the same or worse but their system requirements keep going up

When did shitting on state of the art photorealistic games

when the industry became such a joke that even normalfags are getting annoyed, and devs just keep plowing forward with no course correction.

about roughly 1k to 1.5k for a decent gaming rig

a years worth of rent

nigga what

Many brown poorfags on this site now unfortunately. I for one and glad poorniggers are getting gatekept out of the hobby, it’s about time peasants were expelled

That nigga lives in a metal shack

Same. I modded GTA5 so the gunplay felt better but yeah 4 had better visual feedback, more complicated health system on NPCs, and the sound effects on the guns was better. Don't get me wrong the guns still sound bad in 4 but in 5 they were truly gutless in every aspect

RDR2 was a massive step up in gun audio so hopefully 6 keeps that

>"Sure it added $2M to the budget

if only
add one or two zeroes to that number to get the real budget inflation it causes

poorfag without arab money detected

that has been a reddit talking point for a while

This is the result of not releasing a new title in 12 years. People have been waiting for a new game for so long and it's annoying that it's taking so long because they've been tweeking the beer bubble physics that you will have to turn off anyways else you risk melting your PS5 or explode your computer.
This game is going to be like 300gb for features 98% of players either won't be able to notice or even enable in the settings in the first place.

To not be a poorfag you would have to be an adult, in which case you would have already stopped caring about MUH GRAFIX

It's a shader

and it's computationally not that expensive.
Consoletrannies are going to piss and shit themselves and it's not even that impressive.
Cool attention to detail though, GTA is actually really good at that

They're were doing something else

Just gib me GTA 4 ragdolls + RDR2 gore

It has taken so long because GTA:O prints money, and they were working on RDR2.
No corpo with half a brain would say "man we gotta replace this product that's still making us insane amounts of money without any work"

shitholes like china

The second biggest economy in the world, you mean? Yeah, anon, this "third world shithole" is much more important than all western countries combined for videogame revenue.

Anons are being overly literal again!

Exactly. It’s mainly underage who wail and seethe about things like rtx and rendering bubbles. Any successful white man has a 4090 and is unbothered by such things

game designed with PS5 power in mind

PCnigs whine that they need a machine as strong as a PS5

Why are they like this?

pic related is the type of person that uses the term "game play loop" in reviews.

When people realized minor incremental advancements we got in past 10 years are not even close to worth rebuying your entire rig twice in that period. Especially when more gameplay innovation happens in games that operate on PS1 resolution.

because i'm not gonna buy hardware to run it and pay 80 dollars for shit I dont care about

i'd be glad if they bring back gta4 physics and it had cool gameplay and missions and it didn't waste my time like most modern AAA games or RDR walking sim stuff

basically i want gta 4 physics, san andreas goofy shit and freedom and gta 3 vibes with ok graphics that runs well

i went to his profile, pride flag in his name and he constantly posts Cyberpunk 2077 shit.
It'd be one thing to hear this from people who play dwarf fortress and shit all day, that really yearn for some elevated gaming experience.
But fuck off, your other mainstream slop is not much better than GTA no matter how many video essays you make

No one cares about you or what you think

This Xitter user must be a boomer, thinking that rent isn't ~$2000/month or ~$25,000/year

do you mean the (drink) physics in GTA6?

I love how for the past 20+ years Rockstar has literally just been doing their own thing, not copying any trends or jumping on popular trends and people still give them shit for it. Why are they not allowed to make a game and do what they want to in their own way? Just because their idea of making a game is super popular amongst your average person and that the rest of the industry wants to copy them isn't their problem. This level of detail, weight, environmental interactions and physics is why they stand out from everyone else still. The only thing that needs adjustment is better player agency when it comes to tackling missions.

When they started making consumers pay upwards of 70 bucks to make back their budget.

Looks like shit compared to GTA VI

i mean these type of people

I like six pack physics

Same type of seethe you saw about bg3. People literally offended that someone dared make a game so good and that their pet game would now be negatively compared because it phoned it in

Ugly people don't want to play as the photo realistic ugly trans thing with a hundred pronouns. I think sometime when the games industry started pushing that was when photorealistic games started being rejected

the only triple digit IQ take on this subject

GTAV felt like a step down in a lot of ways because the campaign was blatantly unfinished and the map was 3/4 wilderness with recycled assets from RDR. That was one of the most expensive games ever made.

Every GTA before that had more volume and soul. GTAV could have been saved post-dev but they spent all their time making content to sell shark cards in the Online mode.

If this game is anything like RDR2, it's going to be a really good sandbox game held back by Rockstar's addiction to cinema. It'll be fun for a playthrough but it won't have the legs of other GTA games. Then they'll run that game into the ground with Online fuckery too

Play GTA6 at 720p sub 30-fps

Reminder that Take Two's last E3 showcase was a diversity equity and inclusion panel: youtube.com/live/av9PL76JhsA?si=E7k4M94Aux-wkPsq

I want my games to have higher budgets and take longer to produce while looking shittier

this is the same guy who will proceed to whine and complain about 80$ games and the industry supposedly crashing

do you think artists are responsible for bubble shaders?

but enough about the PS5/Xbox version

He thinks the inflated costs are for Gwaphics and not HR departments and consultant agencies and hordes of Indian programmers that require more programmers to clean up after them

Someone's gotta make the model

When did shitting on popular games become popular?

what, on Anon Babble, or like in general?
Anon Babble started in 2003, so here it was around that time

Because in retrospective horse balls didn't save RDR2 from having mediocre and restrictive gameplay which is you know.. the most important thing about games.

draw concept art with bubbles in beer

engineer proceeds to render beer with bubbles

nooooo not like that

Makes the game take 5 times as long to come out. If they want to add stupid shit like this into the game, it should be a patch or something instead of holding off people actually playing the game because they want to render each and every individual pierce of body hair on every single NPC.

then don't go to a discussion board

because its all performative brownie point farming.
put any of these fuckers in a room with A) a great looking game with meh gameplay and B) a shit looking game with great gameplay and 9/10 they'll pick the more graphically pleasing choice.
These are the same people clamouring for remakes of older games

Are you retarded? Yes.
Did you know grass and clouds and fires and leaves, and dust, and birds, and even fucking water are all shaders? If a programmer with no artistic talent made them they'd be slop.

cost goes up

optimization/performance goes down

actual quality of aesthetic doesnt noticeably go up

people would rather have a more cartoony game that has a pleasant aesthetic style instead of the drawbacks that come from tech demo games

its that simple.

so you do agree that it's the dev that actually creates the bubbles shader, and any other shader, for that matter?

Flop incoming.

simcity clone or cities 2

Easy choice

This isn’t a discussion board retard.
You arrogant pricks will burn and I’m glad your games got taken away

Shit looking game

yeah but the problem is to these focus groups a shit looking game is something like Wind Waker

What are you talking about GTA6 is going to sell like crazy. No one wants GTA6 to look like bing bing wahoo

It became popular after 2015 when video game graphics actually peaked. Ever since then we've been looking for tech solutions to issues that don't exist that cost more resources and output worse results

Bitch 80% [% source, trust me] of things put in a game go unnoticed. Game developers will spend time detailing a room that a majority of players run through without even looking

Artists are devs so yes

Who cares how normalniggers play games

Make gorgeous open worlds with meticulous attention to detail that make them feel alive

but with extremely restrictive gameplay

RDR2 was such a frustrating game man.

It's just a gif of moving bubbles behind a shader, or better yet just a shader alone. What's the big deal?

Anon Babble knows about as much when it comes to game development as your average fifa monkey.

The older I get the more contempt I feel for AAA game players. I haven't played a AAA game in 9 years. To be fair, I'd like to play BG3, but I'm not playing it without playing the others, and I simply don't have time for that kind of an investment. But yeah, this is graphics slop.

People have always shat on games with dumbass details like this that don't need to exist. It's just a waste of time.

Poornigger detected. I have nothing but scorn for you subhuman

I would kill you in real life, and I will get nothing from it. I would do it simply because it's the right thing to do.

Technology and details in old games = soul
Technology and details in old games = bad

nobody buys an $80 dollar AAA uber production hollywood game if it has shit graphics
the normies GTA6 is made for don't care about deep gameplay and interesting design, they just want an interactive movie

It doesn't matter if it sells like crazy, retard. The dev cost alone is over a billion dollars. If it's not literally the next biggest game, it will fail. I'd like it to fail just so companies stop doing this mad shit. Not him.

The seethe of a brown stain. Utterly impotent.

My MSI GT75 Titan laptop is most likely better than your desktop. I would sincerely kill you. Get fucked, kid.

Nope I have a 5090 like all whites do. I urge you to stop playing on a toaster and stop being brown

nta but it wont
what will happen is gta6 will sell less than it needs to turn a profit the first week, and everyone will be like "omg tortanic!"
and then it'll sail on for 10 years and earn bilions in microtransactions

it will make 1 billion in shark cards alone in the first year of GTA online being active

Sure ya do, kid. So sick of you GTA niggers. Saints Row was always the better game.

lol confessing to being a troon

google says gta 5 sold 210 million copies
gta 6 is going to sell more plus it will be more expensive, and then there's the money they'll farm from multiplayer faggots
it's going to make a mountain of profit and then some and you are delusional beyond help if you don't see this
whether this is a good or bad thing for the industry or whether the game will be good or bad or deserve to make that much money is another story
but it will be profitable

I think he just meant a year worth of saving up money which for someone who maybe only ends up putting $300 a month in a pot for something like a computer.

That's not humor, that's seethe. There's nothing funny or humorous in his post lmao.

a year of rent

that's anywhere from 10k to 15k where I live, what the fuck is this guy smoking lol

Do people actually watch videos like this?
11:40 mins of junk?

LITERALLY ALL WE GET IS UE5 NIGGER SLOP THESE DAYS WITH BASIC ASS NANITE AND RTX LIGHTING, ABSOLUTELY 0 COOL TECH

GOD FUCKING FORBID SOMEONE ACTUALLY USES THEIR AAA MONEY ON TECHNOLOGY RATHER THAN MARKETING

why are Nintendo fans the most delusional fanbase? are their minds just fucked because they spend too much time talking to children they're grooming or what? I'm being serious here because every single fan, regardless of age, has the mentality of a 12 year old and I don't get what draws them all to Nintendo specifically.

That's just what youtube is nowadays, fags making entire feature length video essays on topics that shouldn't need more than two or three minutes because someone said thats what makes the most money
Someone must be watching them if they keep makng them

has the mentality of a 12 year old and I don't get what draws them all to Nintendo specifically.

it's right in front of you

cool and immersive details need to be cut from games

Yeah great idea you fucking faggots, let's make games more soulless and shitty. Don't even act like this is some massive problem with the industry, Rockstar is one of the few devs still doing cool shit like this in 2025.

When games like Shadows of Doubt, Underrail, Intravenous, Psychopomp and Peripeteia blow them out of the water in every metric except for graphical fidelity. Yes, they have better art direction and aesthetic values than 99% of AAA or "AAAA" games, fucking obviously. People are realizing more and more that graphical fidelity, more often than not, is a trap that studios fall into, and every year, it requires a freshly built supercomputer to be inserted into your already-overpowered PC to run AAA games on median settings, let alone the highest value.

Shadows of Doubt, Underrail, Intravenous, Psychopomp and Peripeteia

All of those games suck ass lmfao. Intravenous is literally on par with flash games

You're a retard, and flash games were great, unironically. You have never played Raze, The Last Stand, or Sonny. You will never know what we had, zoomer. All you know is graphics slop.

Its just an animated texture wrap like the water in floors in unreal tournanent

I just hope they leave the cowboy crap in the past and does a sci-fi game or something. Enough of the indians and "yeah of course weres murderers and thieves but at least we're not racist."

Probably, Gen Z is surprisingly tech-illiterate. On par with boomers almost. You'd think they would have messed around with something like Unity at least once in their lives and realized what textures are.

Graphics are not getting better, we're paying more so developers can implement lighting for cheaper but the games look the same (or worse).

Lmao this. Also GTA VI won't be even half as interactive.

Gen Z is surprisingly tech-illiterate

You can blame smartphones and their OSs designed to be usable by even the dumbest of retards and hide their inner workings. Then you can blame Microsoft for going that route with windows.

When every single brand but Rockstar and Valve cannot optimise a PS3 era looking game to run smoothly on a 5090 but will still publish "photorealistic" """cinematic""" slop to larp as RDR2/GTA VI.

I don't think they'll be able to replicate the success they had with GTAO a second time either. That was lightning in a bottle. They'll go full throttle turbojew from day 1 and it'll be like Red Dead Online all over again.

Things should not advance at all, we should not endeavor to make things just because we can because we are poor

Reminder that the same people who thought the space program was a waste of money argued we should give more to single mothers instead

Pretty sure democrats did both

No idea but I'm all up for it.

Rockstar is fucking gay

I really hope they spent an ass ton of money on this that's impossible for them to make a profit so this shitty activist filled studio shuts down

I don't like photorealism in my games. I don't think that's what games should be striving for.

Are you playing on PC? Game freezes everytime i try to play it.

GTA6 will have all that detail and still run better than games without it.

Forever, that has always been a thing since this shit does nothing for the game. It’s like a kids show with bright flashing colors, all pomp no substance.

More like we should focus on shit that actually improves the experience rather than making the video game equivalent of shiny tinfoil to wave and entertain a toddler.
