Graphics peaked 10 years ago
>>729142604such decadence
>>729142604They did a really good job. Massive props to all the artists that painstakingly built all the beautiful games we had during the raster era.But it is time to move on to a brighter, more accurately lit future.

More like 17 years ago
Things will become beautiful again. Designers must catch up to technologists.
correct
>>729144702i want to replay it, just the main story, but i know if i start, my OCD will take over and make me 100% it again.
>>729142604Graphics aren't what's most important these days, it's artstyle.Take Elden Ring vs the Demon Souls Remake. Elden Ring graphically is far inferior, not only to the remake of Demon Souls, but a lot of games in general.But its artstyle completely carries it.As graphics improvements begin to slow to a crawl and take more and more time to properly make look good, a good artstyle is going to become more and more important.
>>729142604Don't let the >70% of nu/v/ specfag corp catch you saying mostly true things like that. That'll chip away at their fragile perception of gaming as a whole
>>729142604Truly peak.
>>729142604Reminder Unity ran like ass. It was a game good five years ahead of the curve visually. Also the best mob technology in all of AC.
>>729144702
>>729145268>Also the best mob technology in all of AC.it's sad how they completely forgot about that in nu-ac games
>>729145178>>729145268you poorfags are the reason things are ugly nowadays
>/v/ hates AC now>Most people hate AC now >Still use AC Unity as a prime example of top tier visuals in a game. Ironic.
>>729145428It wasn't really a matter of specs. Game just ran poorly. Same with Arkham Knight. Difference is people weren't making excuses for the indusatry back then.
>>729145396It's because they hired a bunch of gpu wizards specifically for Unity. After it flopped they could not justify such investments.Also, the gpu wizards started getting insane pay packages outside of gaming...
>>729145396>>729145690I think was more because they shifted away from big urban centers that could support such population. And "social stealth" basically got axed.
>>729145431because it is. people shit constantly on this game but no one can deny its graphics were ahead of time. with a little more improvement and it would look like a ps6 game
>>729142604It was clever use of different outdoor and indoor lighting, as well as dedicated cutscene models.
>>729145431wrong, we love assassins creed, its the witcher rpg shit they did after syndicate that we hate
Origins and Odyssey look much better. The characters looked weird in Unity
>>729142604So this is the power of graphics in video games 10 years ago...
>>729142604You might be right on this
>>729147423poorcope
>>729144702AC moggs it hard, so much it was too much for the consoles.
Test 2
Anyone who says this hasn’t played Arc Raiders maxed out, it might be the best looking game ever made.
>>729149978Cyberpunk (with path tracing) > Alan Wake II > Black Myth Wukong > Death Stranding 2 > Horizon Forbidden West > Silent Hill 2 > Arc Raiders > Red Dead Redemption 2 >>>>>>>>>>> AC Unity
>>729145605No you were just poor, yes the game didn't run perfectly at the time but you could tell it was justified and most modern hardware runs it at a constant 60+ fps with barely any issue.
>>729144702arkham knight is a very ugly game
>>729142604Peak of feasible production was late 90s and early 2000s. Everything after that was just the industry shitting itself inside-out to try to hit the expectations of an infinite growth curve even after shooting itself in the foot by sticking with consoles instead of properly developing the PC market into the kind of convenience that it only got in the 2010s.Right now licensed engines have streamlined the least efficient use of graphical assets, which puts devs into a weird position where the lowest cost productions are aiming at the highest production cost assets.
>>729149978ARC Raiders looks terrible lmao
>>729150103>silent hill and arc raiders anywhere close to top graphicskek
