How did older games get atmospheric density right yet new games look like smudgy shit? This is a 15 year old game mind you.

Godlike game

I hate controlling horses in videogames, yet I love fantasy and western and whatnot. It's just the fucking horses that are clunky as fuck. I couldn't finish RDR 12 years ago because of that and still couldn't when I replayed the remaster a few months ago. My loss, I guess.

Wait till you try the real deal lol

It's not like I would be running up and down, left and right, on and on again, plus horses are cool. It's just the constant clunky hassle it becomes in videogames. I have to say though, I loved The Witcher 3 despite that and there were moments where I just took Roach on trips purely for the sights.

The fog in RDR1 is like 500 feet from the camera. It looks fake as fuck.
>>
>>724647556
Just like modern games, but somehow they require faster hardware and run worse.
>>
>>724647839
Maybe if you posted RDR2 you'd have a point but RDR1 looks its age.
>>
>>724645480
It just came out last year...
>>
>>724647556
Contrary to modern games where the fog is 100 feet away from the camera

>>724645480
Rockstar is the king of open world simulation so it's a bit unfair to use their games as a example they're literally unmatched.
But older games like the ultima games would also be a good example.
Modern devs are just garbage and have zero sovl or passion.

>>724645580
Yeah, the shadows look too clean and there is no temporal aliasing.

Red Dead is a gorgeous game but a mechanically boring one.

Anyways, the answer to your question is lighting. Lighting is now a lost art.
