games with advanced graphics leaves nothing to the imagination and therefore they are less immersive and less fun to play
Read a book then, gaylord.
>>724215569Or just kys
>>724215569It's not even about imaginations it's just bad art direction top looks alien and endless bottom looks like a vacation spot
>>724215615not even in the same category plus books can also go overboard with details that don't matter.
>>724215863I noticed in another screenshot they ruined the halo in the distance (looks more like a mountain instead of a massive… halo). But in this scene they just remote it entirely? lol
>>724215569Top>Evokes a sense of awe and wonderBottom>Generic fucking beach with Windows wallpaper dressingWhy is good art direction a lost art?
>>724216019It’s what happens in games when new artists look only at what is there instead of why it’s there.Nothing is just a means to an end every asset, every sound effect, every animation works toward something.But that meaning is lost on the makers of remakes who replace everything with the highest fidelity assets they can find.
>>724215569realism isnt the problem its the shit modern ai slop art direction
>>724215569It's just color and visual design, manAll the texture and model quality in the world is fine, but the atmosphere comes down to the feelings things evoke, not how detailed they are
>>724216202If they just replaced assets with higher quality equivalents we wouldn't have this problem
>>724215569>games with advanced graphics leaves nothing to the imagination and therefore they are less immersive and less fun to play>BUT DONT TELL ME TO PLAY GAMES WITH ASCII GRAPHICS BECAUSE I NEED MY BING BING WAHOO TO FEEL IMMERSEDso which one is it?
>>724216239That's falseRDR2KCDTLOU2and some Ubisoft games look great because they the graphics serve their purpose and there is involvement for art directors instead of rock is rock
>>724215569Why is there no triangle-ish thingy in the background sky on the bottom version?t. never played GAYLO before.
>>724216364the character is not facing the same direction
>>724216297That's what they did if you took Rockwell painting and gave everything more details it'll look like shit because art direction mattersyou can't just replace assets >>724216298>it's either 0 or 100
>>724216361all of those games sucked
>>724216417Oh, that makes sense.Seems like a dumb thing to do, since they went to the effort of getting the truck into the same position.
>>724216421>>it's either 0 or 100why should we stay with 1990s graphics?
>>724216581>why should we stay with 1990s graphics?nta, but that's part of the era that understood games were just entertainment, not art or whatever.
>>724216421>That's what they didNope, most of the game is entirely differentNot high quality, but completely different- placed in different places without the same intent, reused assets from different games, even even entirely made up shit that's not even vaguely similar like the surface architecture
>>724215569Retard halo 1 is combat evolved. New one is campaign evolved.God damned retard
>>724215569>generic 5th gen console beach >generic current gen beach idgi
>>724216480sure thing, contrarian kun.>>724216581No said that, they butchered the direction it's as simple as that.
>>724216636i don't see why /v/ thinks it's impossible for a photorealistic game to be fun
>>724216636It's the same game with better graphics. Why are niggers here so fucking dramatic
>>724216753>they butchered the directionhow would they need to change it to keep the same direction then? remove the rock formations?
>>724215615That's what I started doing, yeah.
>>724216361none of them have a distinctive artstyle.
>>724215569If they created the exact same thing, just with upgraded textures and models, it wouldnt be a remake. It would be a remaster. And nobody would buy it because it looks so close to the original - and ar that point you can just play the original.
It keeps happening
>>724216825Are you colorblind
>>724217113if i blueshifted it, then it would suddenly be le good?
>>724216825bunch of things from rock formations to color grading and asset design etc
>>724216921I never said they did i said they look great despite being realistic so realism itself isn't an issue
>>724215569Why modern devs hate strong angular look? Why everything should be rounded like infant toy?
>>724217168Are you colorblind
>>724217436New EU regs have mandated the UNSC need to round the edges of the warthog incase somebody cuts themselves on an edge
The average game dev today is hired straight out of your average leftist university, they all share the same worldview that everything from the past must be destroyed. Or at least recycled into something where they can use to push their ideology.
I have consulted the deity343's terror is nearing its end
>>724215569Bottom looks like toys.
>>724215569wow they found the planet where windows backgrounds come from
I don't get why Halo warrants ANOTHER release just for the campaign. I played the campaign and it wasn't that good. Someone please tell me what's so great about it.I played it within the last 2 years on heroic btw, so nostalgia didn't affect me.
>>724215995>>724216364>>724216417Look closely at the bottom picture. Its there, just very faint from anti-soul gas.
>>724218216could be good if they fixed some of the later level designs
>>724215569this gotta be some nostalgia shit, right?I never cared one bit about Halo but top still looks horrible
>>724215569>top prominently frames the eponymous halo>bottom is just a beach vacation
>>724215569>playing through CE again>elites and grunts hiding behind a wall>toss a nade>it explodes>grunt goes flying in an arc, windmilling his arms and screaming the whole wayIf they don't have this and only from the physics and animations rather than scripted, then I'm not fucking interested. I don't care if it looks good if I don't get my flying, screaming grunts.
>>724218507see>>724218298
>>724216019>Why is good art direction a lost art?It's not. The problem is that big studios don't give a fuck about good art direction. They want as many people making as much shit as realistic as possible. You don't have good art direction without GOOD DIRECTION, and there's no way to fully direct 100+ people— half of them being outsourced contractors who don't even see you 90% of the time— all working to make shit "realistic" unless you're a fucking once in a generation king of vidya.There's a reason why "design by committee" is an insult for art that has no vision. There's a reason "too many cooks in the kitchen" is a saying. Don't get it twisted; I'd wager that roughly 40-60% of the artists who worked on this shit are legitimately talented people, but that all means NOTHING if there's so much noise that no clear vision comes through. Then, on top of that, you have two added barriers: a remake cannot have a vision of its own. You are always going to be handicapped by the original's intentions, and unless the remake team is at least 70% the original staff or at least turboautists who've obsessed over the game their whole lives it's always going to result in direction becoming muddied (and even then, it still might). Then you add AIslop on top of that, which Micro$oft is pushing its employees to use nonstop. LLMs are LITERALLY a design by committee machine, a mechanical focus group designed to produce the "most average" result from a prompt using an uncountably large dataset. There can be no vision in a machine designed to produce grey sludge.Games have gotten too big, studios have gotten too afraid of risk. It's going to keep getting worse until smaller-scale studios build up enough capital to fund AAA games without getting acquired, which will never happen if they go public because every shitfuck retard investor will just push them into a buyout from Micro$oft or EA or whatever other dogshit megalithic corporation without a soul.
>>724218814this has to be done on purpose, how can anyone with a soul look at the awe and wonder of the first pic and then decide to cover it with a stupid amounts of bloom or a giant rock in the remakes.
>>724217436Hard edges = low polygon count Soft edges = high polygon countHigh > low It's that simple
>>724219238They're paid to update and refresh, not be authentic.
>>724215569The skybox is so shit. It's not even an obvious low atmospheric layer that lets in the stars. They made it a planets fucking sky cause they are a bunch of fucking morons working on a Halo game.
>>724219574>the sky is too skylikewhat's next , the water is too wet looking?
>>724220923No, rocky.
That isn't advanced graphics. It is worthless, passionless, copy/paste, drag and drop, no care at all hell made for attention. Adverting sold it. Halo 4 is good though. For Cortana.
>>724215615books are so superior to western games it's not even funny
>>724215569SOVLFORCED SOVL
>>724218637Even if you replace the new skybox with the old skybox, the rock on the left will still ruin the framing.
>>724221765Campaign Evolved looks about on par with H2A, which is insane because you just know it's going to run like shit because of UE5
>>724215569>halo>no halo????
>>724215569Games get praised for looking realistic so that's all they strive to do. It's why so many modern games look so similar, and one of the reasons UE5 is so popular. They don't consider art direction or dramatic lighting or anything like that, just light it like real life and presto you get accolades from retards.
>>724218814>>724219238>>724219505remake looks better
>>724215569Why dont they compare with the semi soulful mcc remaster?
