The 7th generation of graphics was the best.
b-b-b-but le fog, le trees? where is they?
>>735027716I'm currently playing this and getting to this city reminded me that I really want a Xenosaga remake. It's very reminiscent of the city you go to in Episode 2.
>>735027716>see those buildings back there? You can't interact with any of them.
Serah is so hot. There’s a line she says in the game all the time at the end of combat when one of your monsters wins a battle. She says “What a good boy!” And I pretend she’s saying it to me.
>>735028895she is saying it to you, Anon. You know it and she knows it
>>735027716I prefer 6th gen but 7th is fine too. metal in particular tends to looks great in 7th gen games
It is incredible to me how much soul was stripped away from the industry in sucha short amount of time
>>735027716> another cope thread for neets that have no money
>>735027716zero curves
7th gen is too full of brown and bloom for my liking, full of constant hallways and limited environments6th gen was peak between graphical fidlety and art style. 7th gen tried to chase realism too hard and because of that shit suffered.
>>735027716The exact moments games fell off was when they transitioned to full real-time rendering instead of skyboxes and textures
>>735027716>Unreal Engine Final FantasyDire times.
>>735031337>and textureswhat? do you mean sprites, or pre-rendered backgrounds? almost all 3D games use textures
I learned from the recent article on the alleged top 25 best stories in video games that there is one person who has not played Cyberpunk 2077 yet. Now I know there are at least two.
>>735027716Post Sera's boobs in the rain
>>735028679Just like real life. Do you go into random buildings on the rare occasions you step outside?
>>735028257literally fog in OP image
>>735028679>I NEED TO ENTER INTO THOUSANDS OF FILLER BUILDING AND HOUSES OR ITS NOT A GOOD GAMEzoomers are a plague on gaming
>>735033021that's atmosphere. this is fog
>>735033284they'd make her skirt longer no doubt
>>735033284take the L
>>735033284
>>735027716Amazing what a fancy skybox and good art direction were able to manage on 256MB of ram and 512 of vram
>>735031461I think he means baked lighting
>>7350277167th generation was a really dark period for the industry. The games in that gen sucked.
>>735029909What game is to the left of mgr
>>735028257real i hate nature
>>735027716Isn't the map for this "city" just a really small circle?
>>735035151I believe that's Folklore for the PS3
>>735035490No
>>735029909please anons if you could list all the games in sequence thatd be great i wanna play a lot of these on emulator
>>735027716It's so empty
>>735038649but enough about night city
>>735037813Asura's Wrath | | Demon's Souls | | God of War IIIDragon's Dogma Dark Arisen | | Ninja Gaiden?

>>735027716Damn final fantasy 13 looks like that?!
>>735038949thank you very much anon. <3
>>735039007no worries, I hope you have a fun time!
>>735039006>>735027716Which city is this?
>>735028569Xeno a shit
>>735040565it's from xiii-2, academia (4xxAF specifially)
>>735041095Danker!
I remember xiii-2 being pretty fun, I platinumed it too. Was LR just as fun?
>>735028257>where is theyOP's image literally has anti-soul gas.
>>735027716You ever notice how multiple threads about the same game will suddenly get made at the exact same time?
>>735027716It's a great middle ground between having high enough fidelity to look good on modern high resolution displays, but still had enough limitations to where they still had to make an effort with artstyle to stand out. It also predates the plague of the anti-soul smog.
>>735042086That's what i'd say if my monitor's gamma was off by 5 giganiggas
>>735041947Personally I didn't like LR nearly as much as 13 and 13-2.
It absolutely wasnt.Games were trying so hard to reach current gen levels of realism but lots of games just had awkward facial expressions and very inconsistent animation quality.Ambient occlusion and bloom were so shit yet every dev was cumming in their pants adding it to games and shoving it in as much as they could.Not to mention it was the gen where pc ports were the laziest and most slapdash efforts because console was pretty much dominating the market. And nearly every game on console was 720p with basically no anti aliasing besides fxaa and blurry as fuck textures, pixelated shadows and AWFUL LODs.If you run farcry 2 or re6 or gta4 at 4k you can see the obvious LOD pop in on every single entity and model.It was a very shit gen for gaming.
>>735043425>Ambient occlusion and bloom were so shit yet every dev was cumming in their pants adding it to games and shoving it in as much as they could.As bad as bloom was, at least when done tastefully and in small amounts could look good. Its main issue was devs using it cover shitty texture work.Early ambient occlusion was indeed ass, and I don't know how so many devs got memed into it. On consoles especially it never looked realistic, it was like everything had mold growing out of it.
>>735027716I liked them until around 2014. I'm not sure what happened then. Maybe I'm just old.
>>735044450The old reality ended in 2012.
>>735042312Smog is an intentional choice to cover up how much distant detail is destroyed by aggressive upscaling.
>>735028679there's not a single game that does that anywayit's either GTA tier open world where only some of the buildings can be enteredor bethslop where you can enter every building except theres only like 6 houses even in the supposedly well developed capital that even has separate districts
not enough hand drawn lewds of Serah
>>735027716True>>735035058Nah it was peak
>>735033846Halo-era Bungie must have employed literal wizards, I have absolutely no idea how they managed to make a game that looked like this with big maps and loads of physics objects bouncing around all over the place run so flawlessly on an Xbox 360.
