Why is a 22 year old PS2 game impressing me more visually than all the games released this year?
The closer graphics get to photoreal the less the devs need to cultivate an artistic style, everything becomes a shallow impression of real life and can't ever hold up to the real thing. On top of that modern rendering techniques are extremely ugly, can look at the heavy fog trend or dithered hair shaders. A strong artistic style and crisp rendering will always look nicer
>>720880563You’re experiencing what’s called “soul”. Something that’s completely missing from UE5 slop with crap art styles these days. Enjoy. The third one looks even better.
>>720880563Limitation breeds innovation.
you wan to have sex with these girls
>>720881407hmmm nah, modern games are dogshit, ue5 games are full of copy pasted assets, no art direction, shitty light and garbage post-processing effects.Games are not made by pasion devs, they are made by jeets that want to catter to zoomoid mutts and normies
>>720881432Mio is cuter.
>>720880563Because you have a terminal case of contrarianitis
>>720880563Passion shines.
>>720881960Just point and shoot nigga
>>720882195
>>720881969that looks good but it's also just a shittier version of something you could see in real life
>>720880776The more the game shows you, the less room there is for interpretation and imagination. People who reas books imagine whole worlds and when they see the movie/series, it's a let down because the world often won't live up to their expectations. Not everyone does this, but same still applies to video game graphics: leave more room for imagination and you might have a more immersive experience.
>>720880563Retard.
>>720881969There's nothing visually interesting in that image
>>720880563It has interesting gameplay, story, characters
>>720880563Most industries got infiltrated by consultants and incompetents who think computers are magic boxes, so they never schedule anything correctly.Consequently everything ends up either outsourced or produced in a few days of feverishly sleeping under your desk, the ongoing UI cancer of a character model sitting in a void with some particle effects is practically exemplary of how much shit gets slapped together last minute.These managers end up overpromising and underdelivering so much that they end up skipping as many steps as possible, leading to the overuse of game engine defaults for everything, which just leads to massively bloated, buggy games that run like shit.There's not even any room in the industry for the devs to coordinate on their own, because the company will performatively hire and fire employees as a stock market flex to avoid looking bad after their quarterly releases, so a company can easily lose hundreds of devs across many projects for no reason and you can believe that the company doesn't see the value in keeping anyone on board after the game is done to retain and cultivate skills.
>>720881969Volumetric clouds have set graphics back 25 years. Look at how shitty that is
>>720881969This is forced soul.
>>720880563Your example is not visually interesting. It's the same "abandoned Japanese village steeped in Shinto" aesthetic that every Japanese horror game that doesn't rip-off Western properties employs.
>>720883023name 10
>>720880563The answer is ambient occlusion. Devs always add a bunch of ambient lighting so you never see any cool high-contrast lighting. Compare the original Dark Souls to the remaster, for example
>>720880563It's the lack of that pathetic blue ANTI-SOUL UE4/5 GAS that we keep seeing in most games nowadays. Thats why it looks good.Most games arent even sharp anymore it's fucking BS
>>720881969Theres ZERO fucking way this pic is what KCD2 actually looks like. Theres ZERO volumetric fog or blue fog crap and everything looks clear.Im sure it's just some fucking bullshot and modified to remove fog and increase fidelity or some bs.
>>720880563Because PS2 graphics were comfy and way better artistically. Also fixed angles were great

>>720880563PS2 had _EMOTION_ _ENGINE_
>>720880563atmospheric lighting, probably
>>720885728Wait I'm retarded ambient occlusion isn't the same thing as ambient lighting. Still I think it's true, visuals in games now are never especially stark or harsh.
>>720881969>crank up saturation and sharpness 1000%do people actually think this looks good?
>>720881407Ovulation breeds impregnation.
>>720886145Name another 10.(I'm trying to find some new horror games to play)(also, Fatal Frame 4 takes place in a western-style asylum)
If you trannies had to post a game title to start a thread, /v/ would be completely empty
>>720887794kek
>>720888027NTA but I had a lot of fun with Labyrinth of the Demon King
>>720880563i want both of them slurping on my cock at the same time

>>720890932You're telling me this guy didn't see that giant ass ape demon before he got snatched?
>>720886145parasite eve 2 is so good youll forget its a ps1 game 5minutes in.
>>720890647>>720890932Thanks anons, I'll check them out.
love the spent shells bouncing off wall
>>720891249Game?
>>720880563Because your poorjeet who can't play any modern games on his intel pentium laptop
>>720891224Haunting Ground also a must. Clock Tower 3 is like haunting grounds just a bit primative in comparison>>720891290Parasite eve2
>>720880563Because there is a sexy asian in the picture. Next question.
Ps2 era also has some kino atmosphere Hitman contract and splinter cell are such a vibe
>>720880563Because they were developed by smaller studios with japanese devs who actually liked videogames and art. They had better artstyles.Nowadays making videogames is too expensive. Smaller studios don't really exist anymore, unless it's some ghetto indie studio with amateurs. So you only have highly commercialized products instead games made people who actually like games.
>>720891160>>720891249it's incredible what optimization and efficiency of technique can achieve when using even the most basic technologyit beats mediocre use of high technology every single time
>>720880776>>720881407>>720881135The holy trinity of /v/ takes. I've probably seen these more than 1000 times at this point
>>720891362I think that anon was only looking for old timey Japanese style horror
>>720886037ikr
>>720891578I forgot how stupid the damage was in the first game
