Modern graphics were a mistake
3D graphics are modern
>>739496417looks like dogshit
>>739496417those arent modern graphics
>>739496417looks better than the "realistic" graphics of today desu
>>739496695>>739496791Yeah exactly>>739496667kill yourself you soulless zoomer
>>739496417Jesus THIS is how modern games look like??? What went wrong
>>739496417trannindie games were a mistake jesus fucking christ
This is literally all you need
Why yes, I did buy a 4k screen to play 20+ year old games. Feels good man.
>>739496417That room was so odd. You're doing the first class test and right at the end, in the middle of the castle, is some weird enclosure with a tiny river and trees for 3 of the bean stealing cunts to rush at you.It's been over 20 years but somehow that games pretty memorable for its small oddities.
>no minimap>no gryffindor sense>no loot cratesuncs really be eating plain bread calling it a meal fr
>>739497324It really is>>739497538This is from the Incendio challenge in Herbology.
>>739496417HP1 and HP2 games are absolute megasoulfrom the artstyle to music, yes nostalgia has a huge part in me saying that but holy kino
>>739496417holy fucking SOVL!!!>>739496667kill yourself
>>739496417Really all the worst things on our planet and of course in the gaming industry are happening because your average pleb is a golem with a brain zooted by the algorithm who doesn't know what beauty isHere's one right here >>739496667Soulless photorealism slop is very much sought after by the average consumer, for whatever reason it's just like fucking catnip to normies to have bland 3d grafix that superficially resemble real life on their monitors thus the absolute avalanche of UE5 slop.
>>739497736beautiful. a work of art
>>739496417Isn't it funny how ps1 and ps2 harry potter games look like more harry potter than hogwarts legacy?
>>739497736It's so fucking comfy /v/ros... I was somewhat of an expert at this game when I was 9, my borther's friends would call me over to finish some section
>>739497931Style beats fidelity every day of the week and twice on weekends.
>>739497937The first 2 Harry Potter games were always how i envisioned Harry Potter rather than the movies.Before the 2010's I remember Harry Potter depictions were pretty much "anything goes". These days fags get upset at anything that deviates from the movies. In my mind Hogwarts is mostly warm colors with some blue areas at night and no moving staircase hub.
>>739497478>>739497617>>739497736Whether you want to blame corporate optimization or claim that it’s the spiritual death of the West that caused this, one thing is for sure: similar to the movie industry, almost any random schlock from ~20 years ago looks better than the dogshit the sad-ass modern industry produces
>>739497617Oh yea, I just loaded up a clip and I was thinking of the first room where they thrown gnomes at you and unlike the corridors and platforms before its a comparatively normal room with sofas.
>>739497632Agreed, replayed the first 3 last year on PC and holy shit I still enjoy them.Even PoA, while more polished seems to lack the raw soul of the first 2 but I still find it a very cozy experience.The art style, SFX, music is all shockingly good for what's essentially low budget tie in slop.Kinda reminds me of why Majora's Mask was so good, the insane crunch time and demands from Nintendo made an impossible gem, maybe the same pressures from hitting movie releases and hitting the bullet points WB/EA gave the dev teams did the same trick.
>>739498267God that was such a comfy room.I consider Chamber of Secrets to be the more enjoyable game but it was a slight downgrade in atmosphere and visual design.
>>739497736How did they do this without raytracing?...
Every version of the game is different as they had different teams making them as EA wanted to pump them out as fast as possible on every platform to cash in on the craze.
>>739497937>>739498120They fit much closer to the chapter illustrations in the books and the covers which probably helps. I don’t how to articulate it, it isn’t quite german expressionism but I liked the use of blocky shapes and not worrying about realistic proportions.
UE1 games always had a unique feel to them.UE2 and 3 feel to plastic-y, and UE4 and 5 are just modernslop
>>739496417>Ah, my pelvis!
>>739498491>questions a game about wizardsmagic, ain't gotta explain shit
>>739496667>t. minecraft enjoyer
I like modern graphics,I like old graphics I do wish bigger devs would be willing to go back to old graphics occasionally without fearing losing sales or image, not everything has to be realistic
>>739496417HARRY POTTER AND POKEMON HOLY SHIT THIS IS TOTES MY GENERATION I LOVE HARRY POTTER AND POKEMON EMMA WATSON IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN EVER YOU'RE A WIZARD SQUIRTLE
>>739498491They hand painted the lighting into the scene. Could you imagine any modern game doing that?
>>739498902t. zoomer upset his generation has no culture

>mfw anons never read hairy pothead and the stoned philosopher
>>739499129I would tongue her anus.
>>739496417VGH SOVL
>>739499017No they didn't, they used ray tracing and then baked the lighting in the scene like every videogame with fixed lighting
>>739498902>>739499024>>739499068now kiss
>>739499343I don't even kiss your mom after I climb off her.
>>739499304Wrong. Studios like rare abused vertex coloring to do a two texture blend to get smooth transitions between areas. Thats not something you can automate even today, because it's an artistic choice not a physical one.
>there are anons out there that had this as their first fap
>>739499407that’s not very nice
>>739499412Physically based lighting are an artistic choice as well
>>739499429Yes. Then I got to fuck the real one.
>>739499429She was hotter in the first game
>>739496417looks like trash
>>739499492It could be, but it never is. Devs use it when they don't want to handle lighting manually.
>>739499769HPfags have low standards. That's why they read HP instead of Dune.
>>739498261I've noticed an influx of ugly, uncreatives posting on this board specifically. They genuinely do not understand what an artstyle is so they desire realism and call things that have a unique look "bad", I have a feeling some of them are bots. Look around outside and on the internet, there's a push for demoralization, they want to make the buildings gray cubes, make characters and real people look ugly, sell them terrible polyester clothing, corrupt older video games and forums, a good example is the official gov white house account posting war gore footage of people dying mixed in with children's video games like Wii Sports or Pokemon. These "people" less than human and animal are evil scum.
>>739496667>>739497038>>739497206>>739499769Notice how none of these NPCs describe what's supposedly "bad" about the artstyle or graphics? Literal golems.
>>739496417me on the right
>playing games from the before times
>>739500458It feels more and more common where you could be talking about anything and some pleb will quote the OP with "looks bad" and never divulge further. No comment on art style, age or technique and ignores the rest of the thread.The sort of reply that people normally wouldn't bother with and eventually starts looking like a poster already in the thread trying to force an opinion from false consensus.
POTAAAAAHYou better not be in the restricted section again.

Anyone who says kino is to be ignored.
>>739496417I'm guessing harry potter? what game and console and is it good?
>>739498902>>739499936Most HP fans either admitted the storytelling was trash a long time ago, or were retarded supertrannies who didn't admit the storytelling was trash until JK Rowling called for supertranny death.The reason we still like it despite knowing the worldbuilding and storytelling are trash is because, for the first 4 books at least, it captures a sense of wonder and gives us a protagonist who's so openly accepting of this new wizarding world without quipping every 5 minutes>Did... did that painting just talk to me? Rowling might not be the best worldbuilder, but she knew how to set a good mood and create a place that you were waiting for an invitation for when you were a kid.Also, Jeremy Soule's OST is better than John Williams' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEgLvaMDT4E&list=RDbEgLvaMDT4E
>>739499304not a lot of games actually did that because it ended up looking off and they would have to hand paint some of it anyways to fix itall of the high quality games from that era had handpainted shadows
>>739501771>I JUST MOVED SHIT WITH MY FREAKING MAGIC

>>739498491I believe it's called vertex lighting. And no, i have no clue why it's not done anymore since it was extremely cheap and looked beautiful.
>>739503329Proof that it's not just about graphics, but art style as well. Looks better than sterile crap the industry has been shitting for the last 10+ years.
>>739496417There fixed it
>>739500458Alright since you asked.It looks like a dingy carny haunted house room. Instead of jellybeans I'd expect to find dirty needles and burnt spoons behind the 6 foot tall trees. If you think that's soul that just makes you a trashy person.
>>739496417'older' games made me appreciate how pretty games can be when not covered up with retarded fog, chromatic aberration, lens flares, and other dumb shit that hides the game.
>>739496417Realism looks better and just so happens to be easier to do in modern engines anon!
>>739504032New games are beautiful
>>739503874nta but just curious - are you endorsing or condemning this one
>>739499304>>739499017You are talking about two different games.Harry Potter on the PC had baked lights and shadows (texture map), while the PS1 games had hand paibted vertex colors.
>>739504132>screenshotted an image he could have downloaded with the visible button
>>739504116im not a halo fan but this looks disgusting
Since these game have ps1, ps2, and PC versions what the fuck is the best one to play?First book or second book as well?
>>739504293It's faster that way.Why would I download it twice?
>>739496417bad graphics encouraged imagination to fill in the gaps. It felt more "real"
>>739503429I do often play such games at 8k if their fullscreen modes will work properly.
>>739504137Not endorsing, just saying that the merits of the old composition come through the edit.
>>739504489yeah, you're rightit's... a little too much, but overall kinda 'works'this one's better>>739503945

>>739504645>Oh my god is that...HECKIN LOW DRAW DISTANCE SO KINO SOVL OLD GOOD NEW BAD OOOOMMMGGGThis, but unironically.
>>739504578Did the same there just cropped the download out then i got lazy
>>739497478I don't know the proper terminology for what makes video game graphics look the way they do, but I thought PC games looked like shit as a kid despite everyone telling me they were better than consoles. I played FFXI on the PS2 and thought it looked so much better than every other MMO. Then I finally had to move to PC and suddenly it looked like utter dogshit. I don't know exactly what my problem is, though, since I don't know the nuances of computer graphics. If I had to guess, it would be something like the low fidelity of old TVs (CRTs, maybe) obfuscated the jaggy look of low poly models, smearing the edges to make them look more rounded than they actually are. When you look at these games on modern screens or monitors, with different technology or higher fidelity, you realize the models are actually not very good. So FFXI didn't look better than all those PC games, it looked identical to them, my TV just blurred out the bad parts.This is the extent of my knowledge on video game graphics.
>>739498491heres real time reflections back in 02 on Doom 3 john carmack wanted doom to scare people and he understood that lighting is the most important part of an enviorment.This is actually why he made doom 1 and 2 have proper lighting and not just textures so you could feel mre immersed and get scared.https://youtu.be/-TFq_wyYBJU?t=103This is also why all lighting in game is generally shit or boring because devs keep using unreal default realism lighting in their games. So the games either look the same or clash so bad it looks horrible.
>>739504748Light isn't everything most scary stuff that sticks with you is sound
>>739504748But why was everything past Doom 2 turn based?
>>739504708It gets all kinds of complex but one thing to consider is that in some areas the ps2 had hardware that vastly outstripped pc hardware for years which if devs leveraged those elements meant when porting cutbacks had to be made. A prime example is silent hill 2 - the fog effect is something the ps2 is very good at doing and trying to get than density on other platforms would murder performance so it was stripped back in ports.
>>739496667kill yourself lil bro
>>739496417I can't relax and sit near a stream without having to suffer one of you cunts taking a picture of me?
>>739504826sound cant really be scary unless its blasted at high volumes or given context to be scary with but visuals can always be scary ive posted this webm on the board for years and have gotten plenty of reaction images from it. Thats just proof to me that visuals > sound in horror.
>>739504826Good thing gamers don't care about sound. If it isn't 2W TV speakers it is shit tier headsets. Let alone people turning game volume down so they can have voice chat going.
>>739498074Woh....all those assets on one screen?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!
>>739503945Wich AI is this?
>>739496417Too bad the HP games went to complete shit at 4

>>739496417What would you guys like to see in a spiritual successor to the first 2 harry potter games?
Say what you will about "brown and bloom" or whatever but Timeshift's graphics were a peak for video games I think. I wish more video games had used the Saber3D Engine. There's just something about that engine that is super comfy to me.
>>739496417>>739497478>>739497617>>739497736beautiful
>>739505281>female protagonist>low polyMy Discord sisters, Alice and Lilith, are going to love this!
>>739504371All of them desu. Chamber of Secrets on Ps2/GameCube is probably the most polished one. Feels like a Zelda game and has more story beats than the PC version. The GBC versions of both games are RPGs that I think probably include the most story. GBA versions are trash in my 15 minutes of experience playing them. Just worse versions of the PC games. The PC games are what I grew up on and I'm biased towards them. They're soulful and have the best looking versions of Hogwarts IMO. But I think they're also the easiest versions of the games. Like, you never have to choose which spell to cast, the puzzles solve themselves, enemies are practically 0 threat, and secrets are telegraphed to you. I remember renting one of the PS1 games as a kid and there was a segment that was really hard so I never got far. Haven't played the PS1 games since. Might give them another chance now that I'm not a 6 year old little retard.

>>739503945but now the trees look out of place
>>739496667uncs got mad at this one
What do you guys think went wrong with pic related?I thought it was kinda underwhelming as a kid. Hogwarts was tiny. The "final exams" were a slog and broke the pace. And you couldn't even unlock the ending of the game unless you did all the side content.
>>739496667they hate you because you speak the truthaesthetically, it's hot garbagelike you can see the seams on the ground near the desk, which means the floor's UV map was unwrapped in correctly. how do you even manage that? also the scale of the trees is stupid.
>>739496417This was "modern realistic graphics" when it came out you retarded goblin.
>>739496417Looks like shit

>>739496667It looks like it had more original human effort put into it than your favorite game's graphics.Lol.

>>739507123Hogwarts Legacy was such a disappointment.Order of the Phoenix was kinda a meh game, but to its credit the castle was super interactive with puzzles laying around everywhere.In HL, it just felt like nothing reacted to you. You could cast Avada Kedavra in the hallways and people just shrug their shoulders. Cast incendio at torches and nothing happens. Just a few specific puzzle areas and spamming revelio over and over.

>>739505748I don't want to make it sexy, thanks for the input, the clothes I have right now are shit because it's harder to rig a robe/cloak, but I will redesign the whole character, and I'm using Cardcaptor sakura as a reference for cosmetics and wands that you find by exploring>>739506308I will keep pushing it, only 3months of development in so far, and I'm also a big fan of unreal colors, I'm using the modding discords to learn how they did everything to try and get as close as possible, I don't want to depend on post processing to give it contrast, oldunreal just had very special way to handle colored lights.it is much easier to make colors bright/colorfull for the yard than to make them darker/saturated in dungeons

>>739507726Sound design will also be super important if you want to induce that childlike wonder the first 2 games had.Not just Jeremy Soule's OST, but also the little things like the sound effects of your wand waving, the fluttering sounds when you collected cards, the sound of beans popping out of chests, and the ambient sound of ghosts moving through the walls.
>>739504448They also ensured games didn't take 5+ fucking years to make.Actual game play has stagnated since the 6th gen, but dev times have exploded exponentially. Mainly due to graphics whoring.
>>739507123left: Soulright: Soulless
>>739507726It looks good keep it up!

>>739507156Not modern enough you can still see the environment clearly needs more fog and weird lighting effects to obscure your vision
>>739505065i beg to fucking differ
>>739504987People did tell me that about FFXI. They said the weather effects only work on PS2. I don't know if that's true, but I can't recall ever seeing weather effects on PC, so maybe it is. One thing that really stood out to me was the ghosts in the Gusgen Mines. On the PS2, they look translucent and fade in and out, like ghosts, but on the PC, they just look like green polygons sitting there. It looks terrible. But it's not one thing in particular I disliked about the game on PC, even just watching my character run through the world, it looked janky in a way I never felt on console.I think it's just that a low resolution hides the imperfections of low detail visuals. When you increase the resolution, you can see more detail, but that's assuming there's more detail there worth seeing. There might not be. Or it might be the opposite: there might be more detail, but it makes everything look worse because the developers knew what the players could and couldn't see and designed their game around that fact. Now you can see all the frays and pimples. So it's like getting an Extended Edition of a movie or seeing something that was made in 4:3 now in widescreen. It sounds good because it's "more stuff" but it's really "more stuff you weren't supposed to see and probably for a reason."
>>739507123This annoys me more than it should.

>>739508317The PS2 let you do whatever the fuck you want with the rendering, on PC people mostly used DirectX or worse, OpenGL and they only render games in one specific way that devs can try work work around with shaders.DirectX12, vulkan and other modern meme APIs let devs do everything they want with the downside of needing to compile everything.
There are still good games, but there are a lot more games now, so a lot more visible shit.But people who live in Brazil and post on phones (most of /v/) "play" games via Digital Foundry and Asmongold, so they make their judgements based on those.
>>739508939The PS2 was still fixed function shaders, which meant you had to work with what Sony gave you. Modern consoles and PCs allow you to program shaders to do whatever the hardware is capable of within the horsepower.
>>739509124I mean, yea kinda it was a fixed pipeline but it also had a lot more freedom, it's kind of closer to DirectX10 but also not really.You could write a lot of crazy shit that just wasn't possible with regular DirectX8.It was more to say that if DirectX12 existed back then the ports would probably have been better assuming the devs gave a shit.
>>739499304calculated shadowmaps didn't start becoming common until the 00s, and even then a lot of ps2 games were primarily vertex colored. shadow maps were expensive in terms of texture memory. psx generally was vertex only.
>>739508646nah. the technically minded are still extremely talented, it's just that creative is easily corrupted by ideological and corporate conformity. you give wokes to much credit when you imply they're capable of making a modern game.
>>739508383do you understand what a threshold is? advancements in graphic fidelity plateaued and you could no longer count on that consistently overcoming stylistic idiosyncrasy.

Plenty of anons in this thread have a good eye but don't have the resource, time, or technical skill to make good looking 3d assets. With AI, you can pretty much sit on your ass and tell it to fix your texture until you like it. I already use it for subtle things like color correction and flattening angles.

>>739497736>>739497617>>739497478>>739496417makes me miss the good old days. me and my cousins would get together and take turns playing until someone died. it was so much fun. now we're all 30+ adults and everyone is too busy with their own lives to even congratulate each other on our birthdays most of the time
>>739513657just wait 15-20 years and you can prompt AI to create this for you
>>739514595We're basically there already. I'm vibe coding 2 games at once right now. They're both Zelda-likes so they have a shared library which makes development faster. It helps that I have SWE experience so I know what to prompt for. We're not quite at "single prompt game" yet.
This was a huge nostalgia wave for me. These games were my childhood. I think the Chamber of Secrets was even the first game I ever played (aside from baby educational games and stuff like Dr. Seuss interactive books)I didn't know how good we had it, these games were pure distilled artistry, and just exuded the magic of being a wizard in Hogwarts.Third game kind of dropped the ball, and I didn't really like the fourth one.Order of the Phoenix was just bad, but for some reason I wanted to get the Half Blood prince too, which I played once and never again.Man, I really didn't have a lot of options for games to play as a kid.
>>739508192Because 2d/3d artists don't understand scope creep or limiting game size and try to make too much at once. It takes some practice before you get a feel for how long sometime actually takes vs what you think.
>>739514801I'm trying to make a game the good ol' fashioned way with my bare fingers and brain.Still, I'm intrigued about pure vibe-coding games. What AI are you using, and are you overseeing what it's producing, or is it just "Run it, see that it works, save it, and move on to the next prompt"
>>739497938>Being that kid who was so good at a game that you would be invited over just to beat sections.
>>739515189I use Claude and Codex. My strategy is to tell it which feature we're implementing today, and to write a plan for it. Then I tell the agent that the plan is retarded because it breaks OCP in SOLID and that we should encapsulate the behavior into something more modular and data driven. Every week or so I run my own audit for code that looks like it's sprawling or bakes weird assumptions into it.
>>739503987He further backs his non-argument with assumptions, insults and funny rhetoric but still no argument.
>>739496417What harry potter game???
>>739515545Philosopher's Stone.Specifically the PC game.
>Chamber of secretsis this worth playing if I've never played it before? Also, pc version or emulate psx? I found a downloadable version on an abandonware website. I hated the new hogwarts game because of woke shit so I wanna try this one out
>>739507279yes.
>>739515609I'd start with the psx version.
>>739515596Is it the first 3 harry potter games that have soul before Goblet of Fire and they started to make them straight film adaptations rather than doing their own thing?
>>739515609I've always played the PC version, so I'm biased, but it's really fun.There aren't too many actual puzzles in it, but it gives the illusion of being a puzzle game pretty well. Mostly it's an exploration and traversal game with some light action elements.Aside from that, there are tons of collectables and bonus secret areas to keep an eye out for.Granted, it's probably not the best gameplay wise. You unlock spells, but most of them are different keys for different kinds of locks, and there's no actual choice, they're all just point and click and it picks the correct spell for you. Most enemies are handled the same way, either cast the spell to beat them, or cast the spell to stun them, and cast another to push them into the defeat hole.I think there's only one enemy type that you encounter before you unlock the spell to kill it, so that's something. Spongify is a lot of fun to do, and the stealth section in the Slytherin Common Room was pretty challenging for 6-year old me. (Also kind of scary being chased and shouted at like that)fuck, I need to replay this game again now.
Why yes, I do enjoy pushing turtles into pits.
>>739515927Yes. It peaked with the 2nd game. The 5th game (Order of the Phoenix) is actually worth playing but it definitely follows the movie's aesthetics too closely.
>>739515927Pretty much. Although the first films had soul, probably because of Chris Columbus involvement.
>>739515968Hey thanks alot for this. Sounds fun actually. I'm looking forward to it.>>739515702thx
>>739513657They might make new series of games for the series.There would be no magic in it whatsoever
>>739515927I'd say the first two had the overflow of soul, the third one was teetering over that line with the art style and gameplay change (still good though) and the Fourth one killed it all by turning it into Diablo. I still have fond memories of the Goblet of Fire though because it at least tried to have the puzzle solving and exploration rewards from the previous games. There's only two spells you can unlock, but you get a lot more spells in total, even if most of them are combo spells only usable under certain circumstances to specific enemies. Stuff like stunning a Gargoyle, using Carpe Retractum, then someone else spamming a jinx uses Melofors that transforms their head into a pumpkin.If you're a fan of the franchise, It's still worth a look. Unlike the Order of the Phoenix, where the whole game is about doing side quests for random students so they join Dumbledore's Army. Then you watch cutscenes, do some simple puzzles, wander around an admittedly very well crafted Hogwarts open world, then you're done. That's the one that was solely preoccupied with just retelling the film. They even face scanned all of the actors to drive that point home. I played Half Blood prince once, and remember liking it a bit more than the fifth one, but I never came back for Deathly Hallows. I heard they just turned it into a linear cover-shooter
>>739516051>>739516060Thanks, will have to look into it. I didn't like how as the games went on, instead of being their own adaptation, they just used assets, likeness, music etc from the films, those first few harry potter games have a unique identity.
Finding this after collecting all 40 Silver Cards, then finishing the Gold Card challenge blew my god-damn mind as a kid.This was so cool.
Harry Potter and the Gobbling of Cocks.
>>739497736How come this game looked so different across versions for different consoles? The PS2 version looked nothing like this. Were they made by different studios?
>>739516647>Were they made by different studios?Yes. EA got a different studio to do each version so they could release it on every platform under the sun roughly the same time.
>>739515609I played them on PC as a child but in my memory Chamber of Secrets was the best one
>>739498261>blame corporate optimization or claim that it’s the spiritual death of the West Both, it's Multinational jewish own3d companies hiring mediocre nepobaby cocksuckers while pandering to shit for brain retards from the average hood nigger in the USA to the average street shitter in India.
>>739515609I can only speak for the PS2 one. It was great, kinda lika Zelda with a Potter skin>>739516704HuhWas it the same for other EA movie games of that era, like the LOTR ones?
>>739516647I wish they had a hard mode. or some way to boost the difficulty.
>>739516959Hard mode is playing without sucking a cock afterwards. Nobody's ever completed that difficulty.
>>739516267>I'd say the first two had the overflow of soulSame as the movies due to them having to hire talented individuals to attract a fanbase before it got popular and they started shoving every nepobaby retard into high paying roles.
>>739517104I hate how normalfags consider the 3rd movie to be the best. The sound design and pacing just rubbed me the wrong way.
>>739517361Movie 3 hits the sweet spot of not being as kiddy cartoony as the previous two but not being as bleak and grey and "adult" as the next ones either

>>739496667lmao look at all the boomers seething
>>739517537a final trip to this room with no time limit should have been the reward for getting all of the Bronze cards.They kind of did that in the Prisoner of Azkaban by giving you unlimited time if you get all of the cards, but you don't unlock any new areas through story progress like in Chamber of Secrets.
Absolute gem of a game on PC. I had the russian bootleg versions of them though, bought from the boot of an Audi 80 in an open market. First time i played with an older niece and she showed me the platform jumping parts and it made me afraid to even step on dark carpets. Must have played through the second game several times, sadly i never got to try anything other than 1&2.
>>739516267>I'd say the first two had the overflow of soul, the third one was teetering over that line with the art style and gameplay change (still good though) and the Fourth one killed it all by turning it into Diablo100% agree, love the first two, replaying the third one now>>739517104Also PoA is the last one that has a playful tone, 4 and up they went for a desaturated depressing look, vibe is no longer fun
>>739496417Love me some 90s and 00s graphics. It all went wrong after 2015 imo.
>>739517878hell yeah i had Russian copies too, my dad brought them home from a business trip after i saw the first game at a friends house

Has anyone gotten these games to work on Linux?I got a download of Chamber of Secrets, but when I try to run it, it doesn't show the New Game, Load Game, and Options buttons. Just quit.clicking where the buttons are supposed to be doesn't work, and trying to Tab through them also does nothing as it just recognizes the Quit button.I'm running through Proton here, but it did the same thing with wine.I haven't gotten a Virtual Machine set up yet, and don't have a Windows ISO handy either, so I'll only do that if I'm desperate.

A lot of modern graphics confuse photorealism for style and what makes a game look good. Even old thief has sovl because despite being blocky graphics it had good lighting, visuals and art direction.I personally think, subjectively, that half life alyx is an ugly game and I think the post processing in source engine 2 is ugly.There needs to be more contrast, less brightness and less global illumination, It doesnt look like real life it looks like fake washed out shit.I think CS2 looks like a good game if you turn the brightness down to 80%.
>>739497632>>739497617>those colors>the polygons>the lighting>the magical blue light shining through the window>collecting thingiesPure 2000s soul kino.
Which of the psx games has you go to the town?
>>739496417this is true. I want games to have bad graphics. tired of downloading 100 gigs of textures for every game. the game would be just as fun, if not funner, if everyone was a 2d sprite with no animations.
>>739498556or maybe it's chim
>>739521802I'm toying around with the idea of making that game.You'd play as a young wizard boy who's trapped deep underground in a mysteriously abandoned research facility, and have to explore around various sections, learning spells, solving puzzles, and avoiding dangerous creatures, joined by a talking Owl companion to guide you.I'm already working on a big project though, so it might be a while before I get to it. Or maybe I'll shelve my current project to work on this much more simple and easy game.I know I'll probably decide that whatever I do is the wrong choice, especially if I go back to switching between them all the time.
>>739522279No, it is never chim and you shame yourself and your family for seven generations for suggesting as much.

The anti graphics discourse on /v/ went up in exact proportion to the population of third worlders here. Video games are a visual medium, and while graphics aren't everything, they're a big thing. Complaining about good graphics is like complaining about good cinematography, like some faggot complaining that everything is in color now.

>>739534760Cinematography did not directly linearly improve with time, technology, or money put into film. It is a technique. A skill. It improved as people learned how to visually arrange moving elements in a way similar to how a painting arranges still elements.Graphics, by your reckoning, have "improved" linearly as more time and money is poured into the hardware. Thus, they're not comparable to cinematography. They're more like the rise of CGI, right down to how hard they stagnated and even regressed some ways in the last 20 years or so.

>>739542258In that they're maybe not "good" and most are no replacement for real old visuals, but they encourage developers to make something visually comprehensible without requiring full on art skill, thus having positive knockdown effects on design?
>>739496667>You're not gonna believe this. He destroyed 16 horcruxes. Guy was a Gryffindor.>His graphics looked like dogshit.
Dammit, I started playing this game, and I think I soft locked myself pretty close to the end.This platform is stuck that low down. As much as I try, I can't grab onto the ledge on the right. I think it's just too far down because the secret area on the left is way too high to jump to.I can't kill myself, I can't cast Lumos again on the Gargoyle, and I can't reload a previous save because there was a save book right as it was happening.Is there some kind of save editor or debug command I can use? This is some bullshit right here.
>>739507156Where is the yellow paint on the bridge? It's literally an incomprehensible maze and I have to backtrack all the time. BAD GAME DESIGN
I have an addon that let's me see IPs. 150 of the posts in this thread are the same person btw.
>>739543342What's mine?

>>739499017It really is the way to go if the lighting in an area isn't going to be changing all that much.
>>739496417>Hello yes I was 10 in 2002 and I am now nostalgic for my childhood to the point I make retarded statements and pretends trash is goodGrow up
>>739504132>harry potter and the gay gnome club
>>739543590>pretends
>>739496667>these seething repliesIt blows my mind how halfwits only understand extremesYou can hate modern photorealistic graphics, but don't go around saying that shit like this looks amazingWe can have good graphics and art direction without going back to blocky dogshit garbage that these games had ONLY because of hardware limitations at the timeRetards can only see 2001 blocky graphics where vertexes were literally flowing around on your screen or the modern photorealistic 5090Ti only UE5 slop. There is no inbetween.
>>739543038Well color me surprised, there actually is a debug console. I managed to superjump harry into the next room, and get that damned card.
>>739543651The Harry Potter games are trash kiddo
>>739504448Less clutter helps me pay attention to what is there.
>>739534975What kind of cope is that? Most of that slop is made by miillenicucks. >t oldest zoomer
>>739496667
>>739505065>sound cant really be scary unless its blasted at high volumes or given context to be scaryQuiet, low levels sounds or discordant music go a long way to setting a scary theme. Doom would be way less scary if they were blasting Tiny Tim in the background
>>739534975zoomers think millenials are 50 or something
>>739545575Anyone is a generation older than me is a millennial, unless they are wrinkly like a prune then they are a boomer.
>take a modern game>remove motion blur, bloom, volumetric fog>change shadow quality to "low" or "none">1% of the old SOUL of gaming comes backif only I could REMOVE more
>>739505358Why the fuck you can't draw or photoshop it, faggot
>>739548121same reason why you can't use the interrogative sentence structure, ESLtard
>>739513502lol i also noticed how rich the screenshot was.we can have this again you know. maybe not from UK of course.
>>739508259Because sloppa loves making everything wet and shiny
>>739496667>bodied the entireity of this autistic board, which turned out to be a couple of dozens, as expectedBased.
>>739547675>motion blur, bloom, volumetric fogWhy would you have those on on the first place?
>>739548310because they're on by default when the game is installed
>>739496417Bonus points if you played the non-burger clap version of the PSX HarryPotter1 where he sounds like an actual britbong kid aged 10, instead of some random US teen faking both an english accent and sounding prebubescent.
>>739535327>Ps1/PSPwat
>>739534238Never thought of seeing Strike Fighters on this board
>>739505281trannyslop
>>739550092How did you get a concept pic for then ext postal game?
I think the pinnacle of graphics was Wizardry Online.
>>739550245
For me, it is Thief / Dark engine style graphics
>>739550560I don't get Thief, you have this cool semi steampunk victorian settings with themes of occult and what not, but all you do is steal golden teapots and whack english drunktards in the head
>>739496667bodied that dusty crusty senile diddy ahh nostalgiafreak
>>739550560For me its your mom sitting on top of my cocktail>>739550245I've never heard of this but I remember when Wizard101 was being marketed to Harry Potter fans. I never actually played it back in the day because all the gameplay shots looked terrible. There were a few BYOND Harry Potter games back in the day. They were all run by emotionally unstable teenagers so there was always the risk of your save file getting nuked because some guy's gf cheated on him or some shit. Those also had shit gameplay but at least they had explorable Hogwarts with secrets. Pretty sure The Wizard Chronicles is still being hosted.
>>739496417UE4 is pure sovl

>>739505842that's economic terrorism...
>>739507123>we went from brown n' bloom to gray n' fogwhat a time to be alive
>>739513657already came out, everyone forgot about it lol
>>739502001If you don't watch harry potter with your wife and kids, then your not a real man. Oh wait you don't have a wife or kids and never will
When my little niece gets a bit older i'll sit down with her and watch at least the first two films.
>>739553330Same but with the Deathly Weapons edition.
>>739496417modern graphics are pretty good.
>>739498491technically it does have raytracing, ue1 uses baked lightmaps
The death of Richard Harris is one of the worst things to happen to the movies.And the movies were one of fhe worst things to happen to the franchise. We should either make a remake of the Harry Potter video games with the artstyle the book illustrations had, give Goblet of Fire the proper game it never got, or use AI to turn Harry Potter into an animated series without any recasting or Niggerdry
>>739499129I read Barry Trotter and listened to Dirty Potter AND listened to JIM DALE>In England going back all those years I was a NIGGER TRAIN
>>739496417>modern graphics are a mistake>console are holding games back>I cant get 300 fps in UE5 games with my 4060!Holy shit there's no winning with you people
>>739496667This is Netflix's don't fuck with cats all over again.
>>739496667sippy bippyand I say this as a boomer
>>739534760There are certainly floods of turdies pretending to be based oldfags and calling everything new "slop" in an attempt to fit in while crying about all new games and engines and tech they don't understand, but that doesn't change the fact that graphics were cleaner, more readable, and more aesthetically pleasing before the PBR era. Modern games with PBR and GI really do all look like sterile plastic covered in fog.
>>739542128>Play any fun ones recently?I only play fun ones. Honestly, just pick any mission with a rating of like 7.5 or higher on Thievesguild and make sure it's a style of mission you like (if you hate tomb raider missions, don't play those) and you'll have a good time.
>>739544098I'm putting off all the big Dark Mod missions until I've cleared a few more T1 and T2 missions. The only ones I played were the intro and then that lightly Christmas themed one.
>>739496667God damn look at all those unc attacks you triggered
