Should devs just replace yellow paint with red one?
People seem to be fine that specific color for some reason

The color doesn't matter, you idiot. It's the laziness and immersion breaking aspects that people hate about yellow paint.
Game developers used to be smarter about how they guided players (using light, item pick-ups, and other seamless methods) and now they just plaster yellow paint everywhere, even if it makes no fucking sense in-universe for yellow paint to ever be there.

One of many reasons why the original works better, and it's not because the yellow paint itself is the problem. With increased visual detail, a simple low poly texture of a barrel or crate isn't easy to identify, so the develops need another solution to make it obvious. If you think it's "lazy", make your own game and do it better. The demake is the final proof that the whole demaking trend is entirely worthless, since it's actually done quite well and is still redundant compared to the original.

Red barrels aren't the same. Red barrels are because games with explosive barrels will also use them as environmental props and they need a way to make them useful to the player. Eventually the player won't even shoot the explosive ones if they shoot the prop ones enough because they'll assume the chances of them exploding are low.

Yellow paint is what happens when your level design is shit and you don't have a good enough level onboarding to build pattern recognition for the player. So you default to them recognising yellow paint is what they need to focus on.

Barrels could have explosive markings on them but then you run the risk of the things they're trying to destroy or kill body blocking the markings. By making the whole thing red you're telling the player it's interactive no matter how they look at it.

fpbp, yellow paint fags sure are butthurt over older games being superior

There's also the fact that barrels and jerry cans have to be red or yellow if they're intended for fuel.
>>

Also you can't make the explosive barrels yellow cause that's for diesel, which isn't explosive.

They should replace it with transparent paint I reckon
>>
i have literally never played a game with this yellow paint phenomenon, and yet i see it constantly discussed. maybe you guys should just try playing games that arent shit?
>>
>>738176476
this game looks so awful
uncs had it rough
>>
>>738176476
The reason why yellow paint is such a huge thing in modern games is because too much graphical fidelity can absolutely destroy any sense of direction because you can't quickly identify what is a *prop* and what is something you can actually interact with.

are these guys supposed to be zombies? they just look like eastern europeans.

Discussing why many games are shit doesn't mean you play them.

They're victims of mind controlling parasites

Shan't be playing then.

>>738176476
You posted this thread already, and you didn't have a point then either.
You're defending yellow paint because you're so retarded you need it.

>>738180062
that would explain why they're always building fences, drinking vodka, and doing plumbing but it doesnt answer my question about the game
