>>730772798
>>730772519im so pissed to have bought this game. Haven't played a minute of it but still couldn't refund it.
>>730772519This one is legitimately depressing.RC is a small location, they really couldn't redo the graffiti and store signs?
>>730772519the neon sign is a nice upgrade, but the half court is a major downgrade
>>730772798>>730772851jomon genocide
>>730772856I learned my mistake after falling for the RE7 shilling. After that, I've only pirated every single Crapcom and Jewnami game. >>730772908This still makes me angry.>>730772957They're all generic asset store slop in the "remakes". Hell, the game has LESS street sections than the 1998 OG, and the weird pseudo-European, pseudo-Japanese town vibes are all gone.
>>730773031
>>730772965>the neon sign is a nice upgradeno, it's cheap eye candy graphics. Old looked like back alley, barely legal local shop with over the counter stuff. New looks like generic storefront from asset pack #1204
>>730773124
>>730773031>PS2 games has fucking reflections but not the PS4/5 game
>>730772519what gun shop in the late 90s actually looked like that though?
>>730773356
>>730773363old reflections are way easier than nu reflections because there are a bunch of post-processing effects that can't be applied to the reflection without serious overheadray tracing is a fix, but it adds a host of new problems
>>730773413Quite a bunch.But that's never the point. The classic RE had a VERY stylized, "anime" style to its world and characters. The classic Raccoon City was anything but "realistic", and was practically a super smash-up of Japs' stereotypical "overseas" images, slapped on top of their own narrow street design with tiny alleyway shops and shit.
>>730773363This guy >>730773554is right; it's also why >>730773356looks way better in PS2. The textures are indisputably worse, but the HD fucks up the lighting, and lighting is giga important. Most modern games tend to wash things out too much and that ruins the style and composition of shots even if the resolution is higher.
>>730771571>>730772519>>730773031I have minimalism fatigue
>>730773554>old reflections are way easier than nu reflections because there are a bunch of post-processing effects that can't be applied to the reflection without serious overheadNot quite true.First of all, PS2 was a 200 Megahertz toy calculator with a bizarre GPU and less RAM than your granny's mobile phone. Even the "old reflections" effectively stressed the system at the time.But these days, on an average lower-mid tier gaming PC or even a PS5? Planar reflections are 100% more than just "doable" these days, and can be optimized using all the same tricks we use for rendering the main frame, the game screen itself. AND it has been a drag & drop feature since the early 2010!Gay-tracing is NEVER a "fix". It's a marketing scam, trying to create new problems that we solved 25 years ago.
WASD lacks soul

>>730774210you aren't proving anything, you're just posting your corny ass memes like anybody gives a shit on top of samefagging

>>730774181right is better. i remember being oot on the n64 and not being able to see anything.
>>730774240desu in this case the right is creepier
>>730774387people like you should get executed. Unironically.
>>730774387It is not. And your poorly adjusted TV is no excuse.>>730774408That's not the point. It's supposed to be a hastily put together plastic mask, gobbled together from random carnival shit, that also MASKS the perp's identity. Not a "evil oogabooga zombie!"
>>730774440nta but the screen makes a huge differencecrts are way darker normally, same with comparing shit gba games (no backlit screen) to ds ones it's apples to oranges
>>730774481Well in that case it still fails; it looks like a premade mask you'd buy at a costume store either way one's just way better
>>730774558I played OOT on crt, the game was designed for crt. the excuse of the DS screen for the remaster doesn't hold up when they do shit like >>730774481 in it
Why are nu-devs so afraid of areas being dark?
>>730771571Man, even the lighting and shading in the Demake is soulless
>>730774643LCD screens
>>730774414Me on the right.
>>730774643Anti-soul mist and shittons of color filters are the default features of Unreal 5.>>730774736My oldass Samsung SyncMaster is LCD, and it has fuckign awesome contrast and colors.Devs are just incompetent, lazy hacks these days.
>>730772619>they didnt even spend the 5 minutes required (maybe 30 in their case) to figure out why she deliberately had a more demure pose
>>730774736>>730774868I've seen enough. We must immidiately create a 1440p CRT and kill Tim Sweeney.
>>730774868>My oldass Samsung SyncMaster is LCD,Cool anecdote but the majority of gamers have shitty LCDs and they need to make their game visible for the majority of gamers who have shitty LCDs
>>730774130>>730774181HOW DARE THEY LET ME ACTUALLY SEE THE NICE MODELS ARRRGHHHHleft looks likes shit dude. those models suck and so does the black gradient.
>>730775175>We must immidiately create a 1440p CRTNvidia basically did that recently https://youtu.be/fRxzGyxJIbA?si=Hzylg8qg9KE4825A
>>730775265>what is moodyou are clinically retarded
>>730775450Is that the new buzzword we are replacing soul with
>>730772957This is what happens when you hire web UX devs to make your UI and all text related UI.
>>730775521>buzzwordI'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed by elementary school level of english
>>730773554It's because old games used forward rendering.
Nostalgia fags would look at this and say its soul
>Boss, what should we do with this 3D modelled spire that shows up on both the loading screen and cover of the game? >It's clearly a technical limitation. Replace it with the default fire particle effect instead.
>>730775310That's probably the biggest upgrade anyone could make to their setup. Too bad it's 600 bucks, but surely it will become more affordable down the line.
The best way to play a shooter is by pulling a trigger, that tactical feel is the SOUL of a shooter! I pull the trigger of a controller and someone gets shot on screen, meanwhile a mouse feels NOTHING like a gun trigger! PURE SOULLESS
>>730773124I like the remastered solo batman pic more, it's less detailed but the solo shot reminds me of cinematic filters that I don't like
>>7307751751440p CRTs have existed for decades.
>>730775898>but surely it will become more affordable down the line.Anon.....
>>730774481How does the first mask look anything less than something off the shelf?
>>730774373I like that he's ugly.Ugly cute is an underrated style
>Want to get FF7 original just to see what all the fuss is about>It requires a Square Enix accountHuh? Isn't it a single player offline game from 1998???
>>730775872Why did you leave a frame of gameplay at the end
>>730771571zoomers are so preoccupied with the perceived soul and authenticity of the past that they're paradoxically unable to engage with literally anything on any meaningful level. until they realize their brains have been completely fried by dopamine via mass media and take steps to build an authentic inner life, any fetishization of the aesthetics of the past will just lead them further toward a spiritual dead end.ff7 remake/rebirth are fascinating because they deliver exactly what we always dreamed of when i was a kid.... "what if the whole game looked as good as the prerendered cutscenes?" and go far beyond what we could have imagined in fidelity and gameplay mechanics. yet they released to a kind of muted response and got lost among a lot of much less impressive and more cynical demakes
>>730772519>anime america vs actual america
>>730774868So many people bitch and moan about UE5 as if it's inherently the worst thing ever that is so bad and must always mean degraded performance and bullshit, but the reality of the matter is that it's the new modern wave of college students and outsourced hires simply churning shit through default settings and calling it a day, trying their absolute damnedest to get something functional and then not bother refining anything. Several games, both forked and official branch, have proven UE5 is perfectly viable in competent hands, and it can even run as fine as UE4 or better - so long as you aren't forcing the new UE5 features in hamfistedly without proper tuning or oversight just to tout graphics.Don't blame the tools, blame the one who uses them. And Sweeney, because he's a fucktard.
>>730776792>brown hands typed this
>>730775450It's much better actually being able to see the bossfight.and silhouettes don't have a purpose or impact once your already know what it is.
>>730777650I am so fucking grateful to god I got to experience video games before brownoids like you became the target audience
>>730772519I hate re engine so fucking much
>>730777650You actually haven't played the fuckin' game and are just trying to be contrarian, considering in the N64 version the blades Ganon has reflect enough to be fully visible and there's enough visibility between lightning flashes and contrast to the ground to be able to get around and attack. You see everything you need to see, the 3DS version just arbitrarily brightens it up so you see everything at all times.
>>730776593Emulate the ps1 version, it's harder due to a bug making magic defence stat basically useless.
>>730776658Why did you leave out a question mark at the end?
>>730777875It's also less fucking borked. Even with stability patches and shit, FF7PC has so many broken effects like characters having solid octagon shadows in battle, and sometimes certain audio cues don't work quite right. It's usually better to just run the original versions of games, even on emulation, unless you hit the MGS2/3 problem of pressure buttons, or modders can unfuck a port, like with Sonic Adventure.
>>730772619Jesus Christ what's wrong with her face
>>730777849I played the 3DS version because the N64 version has some of the worst graphics of the era because nintendo did not understand art direction like Rare or Naughty dog did.it has jerky 10 fps animations too it sucks ass.Anyway the N64 version made things too dark to hide how bad the models, textures and colors are.In the 3DS version the models and texture art is impeccable so hiding it would be a crime against the art team and also make the boss fight worse.
>>730778232Thank God people like you have no children

>>730773554I wish I had my head on straight enough to learn more about graphics rendering (don't bother explaining it to me right now, I'm drinking), but the more I hear the more it sounds like deferred rendering has caused a lot more issues than it's worth. RIP MSAA my beloved, for example.
>>730773898>>730774221>>730773860Fucking newfags. WASD was before analog joysticks, but arrow keys + A (to look up) and Z (to look down) was the way to play back then.Also, 3d games on a PSX without an analog joystick is also peak SOVL
>>730781689>but arrow keys + A (to look up) and Z (to look down) was the way to play back thenNice story gramps, they also drove the first ford car and i won't drive that today
Looks like some anon got hemorroids because of a PC player kicked xis ass too hard.
>>730774181you have to remember the right is played on 5x8cm screen, so going for clarity is necessary.
>>730772908What game is that?
>>730780328yeah that's depressing
>>730774373spyro remake is the biggest monkey paw and everything looks like shit, they forgot what made Sypro graphics good
>>730781992Talos principle
There are tons of remake that are worth playing. Like the Trails in the Sky remake was pretty good imo. I enjoyed both games equally
>>730771571I'll say it. Remake's Cloud isn't stylized enough for that spiky haircut to work. I hate Advent Children, but it chilled the fuck out on his hair given the artstyle they had committed to. FF7R often feels like it's trying to have its cake and eat it too, and it largely just does not work.
>>730774181>>730774130I don't like the 3ds remakes at all. But they're a very poor example compared to most of these remake and remaster comparisons because they're categorically different. They've got a bunch of genuinely dumb changes too, but these lighting differences are because they wanted to optimize for that dumb 3d depth screen gimmick thing. Absolutely not worth it in my opinion, but those changes are sensible from that direction. It wasn't made to look better, ignoring the gimmick.
Developers need to stop, find a different career, no more remakes please.
>>730776593You can emulate and honestly you'll want to have the game running at high speed for a lot of parts
>>730774414i look like the guy on the right but with two less toes and about 200 extra pounds on me
>>730771571>upscaled models on prerendered backgroundsdestroyer of soul

>>730781498Forward rendering means everything is rendered at the same time. This means a very limited number of light sources (like, three or four, max) but you can do reflections, transparency, multi-sampled anti-aliasing, etc...Deferred rendering means rendering is done in stages. This means a functionally unlimited number of light sources, but no more reflections, transparency is limited, you're forced to use worse anti-aliasing methods, etc...Basically, devs got too fucking lazy to do baked lighting anymore, and it's killed video game graphics.
>>730784062I told you I was drinking. Why would you do thi9s
>>730776919Counterpoint: The default settings shouldn't be so shit
>>730784062Nevermind. I realize now that you mean to explain it within a context that I would feel honorbound to read later, moreso than searhcingn it up after the fact, given that you've written this down for me. I still doubt that I will, but I still appreciate your moxxxy (autocorrect won't accept any number of X's) anon
>>730772619>>730778102leftist Demake mary looks like she's gonna deliver a sick Marvel quip.
