How did RE4 look so good for 2005? Nothing else was nearly on this level especially for a GameCube title.
limited visible scopegraphics have not gotten betterment 20 years, just lighting changes which makes everything look like it’s covered in thick oil
>>109098706this is /g/, not /v/.get your shitty thread away from /g/.
>>109098720trvke
>>109098706Small environments and lots of fog, so they could add a lot of detail into what little environment there was.
>>109098706Play Haunting Ground
>>109098706It's all pure artistic skill.Most of the models are very basic (by today's standards), and are only covered with a simple "photo texture".Some were given a basic Bump map + specular map to give more glossy, metallic vibe, but nothing fancier than that. Water has some simple Planar reflections and refraction, that was old news at the time as well.All that's then coated in mostly pre-baked lighting, with some dynamic light sources. Smaller, self-contained "rooms" obviously help keep the things within the console's RAM budget.>Nothing else was nearly on this level especially for a GameCube title.On PC, we already got Doom 3, Far Cry and Half-Life 2 a year prior, out of which HL2 is the closest to the RE4's art design.Hell, even on PS2, we got SH3 two years prior, and 4 in 2004 as well. Sans the Pixel shader effects, they're quite comparable to RE4.>>109098744RE4 has very little fog, lil nigga.It was not the 1990s no more.
Gamecube really was that much more powerful than PS2. Sorry snoys.
I'm not a fan of the reflections here because it makes the floor look like a slippery surface
>>109098706Film grain.The eye likes sharpness and texture and film grain is an enhancer.
>>109098706That's not the GameCube version, you retarded cunt. It's the PC version running at an extremely high resolution. Pic related is the GameCube version at its actual native resolution. It's also nothing special for the hardware. Rogue Squadron II was a launch title and looks better.

>>109098706Watch Crowbcat>t. 46 year old
>>109098818still pretty good for gamecube,i have feeling switch wont run it better
>>109098706There was no concern with >OMG you can move everything that exists in this game isn't that so immersivebullshit. Being able to have a set asset that stays how it is allows you to make it look better with less.
>>109098818It is genuinely fucking scary even on a gamecube it is a timeless masterpiece>>109098834Re4 remake is an ACTUAL assetflip, that's why it looks so awful. Lots of assets from re village, and the majority of other ones are simply from asset libraries. >>109098706Also, install the re4hd mod if you're going to play the original game on pc. Someone went back to spain and found all the original photograph locations, it's literally just a reshoot of the entire game. It isn't an AI upscale many years went into it. https://re4hd.com/. Also replaces lots of models, world geometry, restores lighting, and ups the framerate cap to 60 fps.
>>109098706Because strong hardware limitations breed invention and polish.
>>109098733the question is about the tech behind it and not the gameplayjust because it's about a video game doesn't mean a braindead board like /v/ can talk about itI mean, /g/ is not much better but it still is better than /v/
>>109098818>That's not the GameCube version, you retarded cunt. It's the PC version running at an extremely high resolution. That's the GameCube version running in Dolphin. Stay mad
>>109098834>>109098979>that's why it looks so awfulit looks awful because it's an aigen image and not actually re4r

>>109099174the remake looks even worse kek
>>109098834Ashley looks pretty sexo here. I love original RE4 but this is a good looking shot.
>>109099533calling re4r bad and then using re4hd is pure retardation, this should've been a /v/ thread with posters this shit
>>109099608cope, you don't have to defend every product a corporation puts outthey don't care about you at all, believe it or not
>>109099631it's the same product from the same company, how stupid can you get?
>>109099568i got bonrars playing re4 remake
>>109098706Every scene, shadow, and light was hand placed and curated. They basically used tricks/smoke & mirrors to make the image look as good as possible. Now it's all automated and soulless.
>>109098706Not surprising at all if you aren't a mouthbreather.We had the algorithms and methods for photorealistic 3d ever since early computing was a thing. 1970 or so. What was lacking was the computational performance to do it in real time 30 times a second, and that came naturally with technological improvement.
>>109099174holy shit i actually could not tell the difference, i had to put images of the remake and this slop side by side.
>>109100000chegged
>>109098979>>109098834>>109099568That's an AI slop image.
>>109099176>Someone went back to spain and found all the original photograph locationsThat's quite fucking impressive.
>>109100092It's pretty fucking obvious that picture is not generated in real time by any current GPU.That could not be from the game.
>>109100499ok
>>109098778> muh emotion enginecube had better shaders and fill rate but ps2 had the cpu advantage. devs just didn't bother optimizing for it.
>>109099978> hand placed and curatedyou mean they spent 3 hours tweaking one shadow while the rest of the scene looked like ass. automation gave us consistency, not soul.
>>109101630>the rest of the scene looked like asshe doesnt like resident evil 4?
>>109101710
>>109098706MGS2 looked way more impressive for its time.
