Does anyone else prefer the look of older games? I have a hard time playing newer games because they always never look good enough to me :(
you will never be truly nostalgic for things you never grew up with.
>>725988841Yes
>>725988841Its nostalgia but I wont shit on you because I feel the same about some old games I grew up with. Still I'm amazed at how far games have come in visuals. I couldn't have imagined this 20 years ago.
>>725988841UE5 is ugly. RE Engine is ugly. Good graphics have never looked so ugly.
>>725989259I dont think its nostalgia because i really love the way they look. I never played those games growing up. I think i had a demo for dark cloud 2 tho.
>>725988841Understandable because the technical limitations forced them to use actual art direction instead of just scanning real life shit making everything look the same
>>725988841i don't have the technical vocabulary to describe it but it's the way these assets are presented so raw without 800 layers of effects and volumetric fogs and whatever else. it's pure soul
>>725990407Probably because someone made it by hand
>>725990971Pretty
>>725989259It's not nostalgia.Back in the day, each game was made in a different engine, so each one had a unique look.Nowadays, they're all either Unreal Engine, Unity, or Source.Old games really feel special.
>>725989259Do you think people appreciate old works of art because of "le nostalgia" as well?
>>725992269Please don't bring in logic that goes against my narrative. Old bad, new good, and you have to learn to deal with it, gramps.
>>725988841I honestly don't like the shaderless Dreamcast look at all
>>725988841https://youtu.be/gsZiaNeD-Ms?si=uG7LfKmIzAHxYjBNits a litmus test. if you have a soul you like it; if you took the vaccine and love worship modern talmuldivision you dont.
>>725988841Me. Modern graphics are a huge turn off it just feels like to much. Plus big tech has gutted art departments. Good art use to carry low tech projects but now it's seen as unnecessary. Modern games look so ugly as a result.Baked in lighting > dynamic lightingPlus games used to be built on unique engines and as a result look different. Now it's just the same handful of gfx engines everyone shares. I'm very tired of unity and unreal
I couldn’t be paid to play most ps3 games or older, I’m 44 and lived through the game changes over the years and simply can’t go back. Max Payne was great, could never replay it now. If you can that’s great as you have a big selection of stuff to play you may have missed the first time around.
I pretty much think all modern games are eyesores. You can't offshore your work to low skilled 3rd worlders with no art background and expect artistry.But little fags today only care if things are high res and not if they are done well or with a cohesive style so you just get scanned in materials or stock library assets everywhere.
>>725992569>its a litmus testIt's actually an autism test I'm sorry to say
>>725988841i agree with you bro
>>725989127>you will never be truly nostalgic for things you never grew up with.False
>>725988841older games had sovl, modern games don'tsimple as
If it's done right it will always look good.MGS, Vagrant Story, FFXII, Shadow of the Colossus, Killzone, The Getaway, Driv3r (xbox), Splinter Cell (xbox), Kane & Lynch (360), Ghost in the Shell, The Last of Us (PS3), Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (PS2), Resident Evil 2, 4 (Originals), OOT, Shadowman, Donkey Kong Country, Robocop vs Terminator (Megadrive), Homeworld (original, Software render)Will always look good.Always be good.RE4 maybe not for the stupidity, the visuals though and some of the music wow.Killer 7Rage could have been great, some parts are very wow.Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2The Division is on xbox1 (or better) with 12 bit colour. Not on PS4. Don't know about PC.The Witcher 2 on PC, but you don't stop a hanging in it so it is a bad game. Could make you a bad person. Gears of War 2 like that too, great graphics, but the most degenerate game ever made, some still defend Dom killing his wife. Suppose that doesn't happen around me because I would kill someone over that hearing it. Maybe not. Seen worse. Stopped worse.Wipeout 2097Correct use of hardware is beautiful. Correct is trying to make it beautiful.

>>725994091Cyberpunk is ugly tho
>>725994263Wrong. Don't get your opinion from critics/cowards.The serious style is standard even if it's alone too.
>>725994550I played the game, anon.It looks like shit.
>>725994514Wrong again. Don't find comfort in focusing on flaws.
when you think about it photorralism requires no talent, just a tedious amount of labour, anyone can do it if they have enough timestylised art is where the creative mind shines
>>725994091>Returnal>Cyberpunk2077>Metal EdenTranny spotted.
>>725994595If you saw and saw shit it's you not it. Your eyes, your mind. Your taste. You identifying good as it's opposite.
>>725994736Wrong again. Cowardice wont win you anything. I am what truly opposes that. You are what spreads that.
>>725988841shenmue 1 and 2 are so fucking cool and beautiful.Definitely games you've gotta be in the mood for but holy shit when you are...
>>725992569i took the vaccine and love these games and basically only play morrowind nowadays. any thoughts on that, mutt?
>>725989259>Its nostalgiaIt can't be nostalgia if he's still playing them. It's not a wistful past for him, it's a concrete present.
>>725994706Stylisation can be copied easier.Improvement is what sets apart an artist from an attack.
agreed that it's a ue5 issue, but jrpgs also lack any and all good art direction now.
>>725994917you're going to die of cancer, enjoy life as much as you can, anon. take care.
I just love the way this looks its so crunchy and colorful.
>>725995687What game? It looks neat
>>725995057It's kinda funny I remember FF7R looking pretty great when it was on the UE4 engine then I see the sequel on the UE5 engine and it looks like fucking shit. Just a complete failure of an engine honestly.But also you're right- engine or not- japanese games just don't have the design chops anymore, unfortunately.
Aw the hourly nostalgia fag thread
>>725995840i have been playing through the psx goats and it's just so obvious that artists/writers either just don't give a fuck anymore, or the good ones aren't working in the gaming industry.
>>725996575Front Mission 3?
>>725988841Yakuza is the closest we ever got to a true Shenmue successor and even it is half the game with the accessibility of kamurocho being nothing but a whim when it comes to if you can explore the underground, rooftops, and/or any number of locations that are randomly accessible from game to game. Shenmue 2 still remains the most immersive jap sim game ever created.
>>725989223It's been a long time since I've seen this game
>>725996938yep front mission 3
>>725996946What about shenmue 3?
>>725994883There's nothing else quite like them still
>>725997174we don't talk about Shenmue 3. Shenmue 2 is the best Japanese simulator and let's just leave it at that
>>725996946Should I skip to Yakuza 2?
>>725997646Shenmue 2 not even takes place in Japan.Shenmue 1 mogs the sequel.
>>725994091Most retarded post award
>>725997879;)The least treasonous.
>>725988841Unreal Engine 5 fucking sucks
>>725989127I'm 35 I'm literally tingle
>>725997791>Shenmue 1 mogs the sequelmaybe for the first 2/3 and then the entire game becomes the most soul crushingly realistic 9-5 simulator when the game become Forklift Driver Sim
>>725997765no, you can skip 3 though and just find a summary to read
