Do older games really look better or is it nostalgia glasses?
>Do older games really look better>Displays the shittiest looking game known to man as his example
It's just cope, newer games look better.
>>742493519newer games play and feel and look like shit but there's so many gamers now they don't need to give a fuck and will just copy paste shitolder games really had to try because standards were higher and most games were pretty great, to get noticed during the golden era you had to make something golden
>>742493968can i have sex with that thing?
>>742494890No, summon your own.
>>742494027>can't even center the camera properlyLooks crappy.
>>742494027What game is this again? I probably can't tell since every fucking game looks the same now
kill faggots that don't list the game name
>>742495002>>742495050you are coping, in broad daylight.
>>742494027>even the clouds are blurrier roflmao
>>742494027Those flat leaves haha
Oblivion aged horribly. Horrible art style, horrible character designs, horrible soulless generic procedurally generated overworld and identical dungeons, HORRIBLE lighting. Everything washed out and drowned in bloom at its worst.
>>742495179>>742495216see >>742495127
I like the way older games look much more than current games. I didn't grow up playing games that looked like this but I found myself gravitating towards them.
>>742495318Posting games that look like its 20 years old and saying others cope is funny.Can someone post an actual high visual game?
>>742495370> the way older games lookolder games all look different, there is no single "way older games look", little zoomie. try harder at being pretentious.
>>742495383cope harder, your tears are delicious
>>742495050AC:OdysseyCrimson DesertDragon's Dogma 2A plague Tale Requiemeasy to recognise you're just blind
>>742495115First 2 images belong to a soulful little hidden gem known as The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, the slop after that is Gothic
>>742493519oblivion looked like shit at the time, even with the best pc and highest graphics settings, it took modders years to make the game look serviceable.
>>742495487what part of that post was pretentious?
>>742495383>Can someone post an actual high visual game?i agree loads of modern games do look drab though
>>742495560Lmao I thought that anon posted one game from multiple places.I didnt know they were different games wtf.Stylization is dead
>>742493519Are we ever going to get threads that aren't rage baiting rhetorical questions?
>>742495681This looks good to me and unique tbqh. Though its one of the games v hates huh?Its pretty much open world monster hunter right
>>742493519Some older games look miles better. Others, not so much. It's more about aesthetics than visual fidelity.
>>742494890Would you use a condom?
>>742495560Crimson Desert is the only one I could actually pick out from the rest just because the flora is so heavily saturated in that game.
>>742493519og oblivion is one of the ugliest games ever made
I think Wizardry Online is the best looking game ever made.
>>742495847If you play it with the lighting mod (forgot what it was called) that gives the game real-time lighting, it actually does look amazing. The issue is that the game could never achieve that in 2006 so it looks like shit as a result. It's a similar situation to Halo 2.
The big thing for me besides the feeling of purpose, intention, and actually feeling made by a human is that visual clarity was just so much fucking better. Like I swear to fuck, you can tell developers used to actually think about it a lot and it was a heavy consideration to the point I'm willing to bet some cool stuff got axed entirely because of bad clarity, whereas now I don't think it's even talked about once. Everything is just so fucking noisy, busy, full of effects, etc, you can very easily miss what should be OBVIOUS paths because of it
>>742493519yeah, deferred shading was a massive mistake
>>742495749>Its pretty much open world monster hunter rightNot even remotely, although the visual designs of the game are not one of the things that's bad about it
>>742494027Looks like shit
>>742495861>>742495370>>742493519god i miss extreme bloom in games, its so much more kino than the "physically correct" bloom we get now
>>742493519a ps3 game isn't an "older game"even oblivion is better than whatever we're getting today though
>>742495050Anyone have that image showing RDR2 and the Harry Potter game looking exactly the same?
>>742495749Open world ubislop style Monster Hunter basically yeah, less skill expression focused, you will spend more time looking at the enemy, applying status effects and peeling of armor than you will looking at yourself and executing combos. The core combat gameplay and navigation are decent fun as are some of the puzzles but the open world is none the less of the ubislop template. Hard carried by possibly the best visuals in any modern game, performs really well for how it looks as well.
>>742496197If this game had a character creator and no story it could be a 9-9.5/10.But since it does not it's like a 6/10, I dropped it after like 4 hours. I couldn't take it anymore.
>>742496197Sounds great I might buy it on sale but I do hate bad story and mc as >>742496350 said. >>742496007This guy argues that its not manhunt adjacent. Safe to ignore that tho?>>742496197Removing plating and debuffing calls out to me cus I loved freedom wars and enjoy mmos.
Games with a distinctive art style still exist. Play more games
>>742496982these are just different locations
>>742495681>blurred sky>#FFFFFF specular highlights>lod0 has countable polysinto the shitter it goes, absolutely mogged by oblivion
>>742494027All new fantasy games look like this now, what is this even supposed to be.
>>742496982The style here is the same. The setting is different.
>>742496982>Distinct art style>All the games displayed are trying to be photo realistic
visuals peaked over a decade agonow we need the power of ai to make things look worse while requiring more power
>>742493519Older game have a better art direction and design implementation of color/lighting
>>742496136Same
>>742497093>>#FFFFFF specular highlightsYeah that's gonna happen when you compress a 20MB .jxr into a sub-4MB .jpg to post on 4chan
>>742495681horizon looks nice tbqh
>>742496136piss off nigga
>>742493519many have better art direction despite lower fidelity. just drag and drop unreal blender assets make every single game the same. lighting and design is all identical. you cant even tell what game is what at a glance anymore.
>>742493519old games have better and more varied art direction
>>742493519In some ways I think they actually do. New games are fully of blur and smears, temporal artifacts, ghosting, slowly-updating light effects and all kinds of garbage, poor performance that needs scaling and so on. Older games running at high res look crystal clear and razor sharp, so they do have at least that going for them.
>>742495050disgusting
>>742493519Mostly nostalgia, but some games did certain things better, sometimes.
I miss how level design worked together with art. Like how you could immediately tell "yep there's a path over there" without any effort or markers. Today it's all buried and there's no point in doing anything but follow the gps arrow. Not much of a fan of the cartoony/wow artstyle popular from the early to late 2000's though.
>>742499382And Oblivion isn't one of them. Oblivion was butt ugly compared to many other RPGs at the time when you look at anything that isn't grass or trees.
>>742499797Nah it looks great
As long as a game doesnt try to look "anime", I'm okay with pretty much any art style.
>>742493519I don't know even know how to describe it but games made in 2000-2006 are more appealing to me visually. It was at some kind of a crossroads before ultra realism started.
>>742499797
>>742493519They look more distinct. And in an age where nearly every 3D release has the same generic stack of graphical effects thoughtlessly slapped on that does mean they look better.
ue5slop will always look like ue5slop
Some. Not jewish shit.
