> I check out a game from 10 years ago (Uncharted 4)> looks similar to a 2026 game (new 007 game)What the hell happened?
>>739704908dithering, deferred rendering, post-processing, TAA, ghosting, blurry ass bullshit that has literal halos for minor fidelity increases at the cost of needing expensive paperweights that are overpricedall this makes it look really good for screenshots, unfortunately visual clarity is the last thing on a developers mind
>>739704908The 2016 game literally looks BETTER, because it has better lighting, no anti-soul fog, and uses Planar Reflections instead of broken Screen Space reflections.Also, while at it, here's a 19yo game that beats out BOTH, by not being a linear movie slop.
>>739704908""AAA"" gaming has in fact gotten worse
>>739704908Moore's Law was abandoned because the number of worldwide consumption and production oversteered the amount of resources that replenish on the planet per year, and without the doubling of technology, the promise of technocapitalism is effectively dead, which is why we're doing "Net Zero" and circular AI capitalism instead, and why we can slowly and now steadily see even the Home Consumer Hardware market collapse in real time.
>>739704908competency crisis
>>739704908>What the hell happened?Decline.It started in 2007, with the advent of "Casual gaming", iPhone, Social Media, and the "Games as service" slop that it all brought.2010s also standardized Unreal Engine as the go-to game engine for nufags to use, and they can only use it in a shitty drag & drop manner, meaning terrible optimization and visuals.
>>739704908FUCKING HOW!?!?
>>739705257none of this has any to do with devs being incompetent and barely being able to match 10 year old games with hardware multiple times more powerful
>>739704908Capitalism stalled out like it always does after like 20 years of innovation. Then the relentless pursuit of profit takes over and innovation ceases. Many such cases and forseen/warned about by theorists for nearly 200 years.
>>739705331It's just that, honestly. Look at the fucking disaster that is Windows 11. They use fucking React for UI elements. React, at OS level. Shit like opening a folder with a gen5 nvme is slower than it was on XP with a 80gb 5200rpm spinning rust.
>>739705401I really need to play the Arkham games, it looks so good
>>739705401every faggot and eceleb was shitting on this game at launch even total colon cancer was having a angry rant about how terrible it was bla bla blaran fine for me day 1, had no problems. just a bunch of entitled faggots, and forced the devs to "apologize" and issue copies of games and free stuff for people who bought the gamepure fucking cancerlook at the trash we got now, and not a fucking peep
I'm curious to see how Naughty Dog's own PS5 game will look. I kinda feel like they may run into some of the same issues we see often lately like excess clutter making visuals subjectively worse even if graphically they're much more advanced. It's tiring to look at, nothing stands out, visual clarity isn't just a gameplay thing, it genuinely looks better. I'm tired of modern graphics.
>>739705731been replaying them after lego batman made me want to play a real batman gamethey are still god tier and hold up very well,
>>739704908uncharted 4 fucking sucks and everything is stiff and vehicles handle like wet noodles. physics are absolutely trash. anyone that played that boring piece of shit knows how fucking shit it is. an upscaled screenshot doesnt make it good.
>>739704908bottom looks better
>>739705576Nothing to do with capitalism per se, but the death of the global liberal order. It begun in 2008.
>>739705889All true. Now go check some First Light gameplay. The comparison is valid.
>>739704908RDR2 still looks better than most games and it's almost 10 years old
>>739704908we are in a decaying and dying universe. the suffering is eternal and nothing is going to get betterit's over
>>739705978>implying the global liberal order isn't capitalist to its core
We had more Indian developers 10 years ago. They all got deported when Trump got into office. The quality of games has been going down ever since.
>>739705161Wait this is Crysis without mods? I guess I'll download it to play again, haven't played in ages.>>739705401This is UE3 or 3.5, but it looks better than most UE5 slop that came out. >>739705862Well TLOU2 looked pretty good (the problem was the game itself...).
>>739705331This. There's no more good managers anymore. There is, of course, no competency crisis amongst those actually doing the work, but nepotism and patriarchy has lead to a lot of idiots remaining in charge and fucking up these projects because they never had to learn the skills or appreciate workers.
>>739704908you can only get so close to photorealism before the man hours/specs necessary to look "better" are unfeasibly burdensome. outside of super taxing stuff like path tracing, movie games look about as good as they're ever going to.this is why something like dlss5 is so tempting--an easy button post-process that is trained on how light behaves, which can deliver thet extra slice of convincing realism with minimal added dev time. (obviously the demo looked like garbage but neural rendering is one of the few paths forward)
>>739705401hide everything in the dark and rain
>>739706195It is but capitalism itself predates it. Specially what commies call the big bad capitalism aka industrial capitalism
I'm not praising Naughty Shart Dog for shit. They're trash.
>>739705235No one ever said Uncharted has bad gameplay. It was always a very fun and frantic shooter.
>>739706136Kali Yuga will end bro
>>739706268>those shouldersHarley was a trannie in Arkham? How unfortunate
>>739706240>>739706136>>739705978>>739705331>it's a give elaborate roundabout names and descriptions of things that could just be called 'capitalism' episodeAll of this stuff is literally baked into the system. Get the boot out of your mouth and wake up.
>>739705161>Also, while at it, here's a 19yo game that beats out BOTH, by not being a linear movie slop.Crysis 1 is VERY fucking linear, especially after the mine level.
>>739704908> looks similar Maybe try comparing screenshots that aren't taken from a stream/video.
Can't wait for GTAVI to embarrass all the slop posted on this thread.
>>739706218Yeah but The Last of Us 2 was still essentially a PS4 game. They were limited by the same hardware as Uncharted 4. Ran at the same resolution and framerate too, so didn't even sacrifice either of those to squeeze more out of the system.
>>739706287I dunno anon, it still looks good with the Daylight mod:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnRtq9vkMk4
>>739706395the system was working so I won't blame it, I blame the people subverting itfinancial capitalism is a sham and everything wrong begun when we stopped backing our currency with gold and moved to hopes and dreams
>>739706324bro...
Capitalism.>>739705257Here's an example, why is Nniggers "valued" at trillions of dollars? Capital, aka theft, and this man right there masturbates to NUMBERS. Capitalism is state spronsored usury, usury is theft, theft produces depression, depression halts labor and sex, which are the two things that are needed to actually produce something, not money.>hurr durr you need money to make childrenHave you ever heard that? The people who say this masturbate to NUMBERS as well.
>>739706218>Wait this is Crysis without mods? I guess I'll download it to play again, haven't played in ages.Based on the blown out lighting it looks more like Crysis Remastered which is a downgrade from the original in many ways.
>>739704908participation trophies and diversity hires instead of demanding high skill
>>739706324damn pizzas had bones in sims 2 or perhaps vertex animation
>mom look I took a screenshot at the lowest settings again
>>739706216>Poo hands typed this It's the opposite you street shitter
>>739706324sir we've lost the pizza tech..... God dammit RIP soldier
>>739704908The guy that knew how to make games was too expensive so we fired him
>>739705731arkham knight is best looking onei played the others with texture mods
>>739706826>Remaster>Can't even see the mountain anymoreCrytek is dead
>>739705426Actually it is, old dev teams had to one up each other by optimizing and improving games with their limitations, and now they rely on "modern tools" plus the higher ups forcing them to deliver half baked solutions quick.
>>739704908>anon discovers the concept of diminishing returns for the first time
>>739706826Well that's a shame.I think they exaggerated too much on the fog.They added GI as well, it seems.Which in itself isn't bad, but they didn't calibrate the colors correctly to match the tone of the vanilla game.
It's apples and oranges. Different engines/products focus on delivering different things.
>>739704908Jeet outsourcing, DEI and white soilinnials, combine the three.
>>739707136should have sacrificed him to moloch
>>739707579sims 2 was the peak of autism
>>739704908First light looks good. A nigger's dogshit is the worst thing I have seen in the last 5 minutes aside from that gook that gooked nvidia.
>>739707579After the pizza comparison I'm surprised the microwave still opens.
>>739707536>focus on delivering different things>current game engines are focused on delivering slopfugg :DD
in uncharted every single rock is art directed.
>>739707363For some reason the Switch port of Crysis Remastered looks more faithful to the original game.
>>739706360L4D was horrifying. 2 was an expansion
>>739706216Both of these look equally horrible
>>739704908Top is a leading American AAA studio from 10 years ago.Bottom is from a smaller AA Danish studio. First Light looks fine BTW, but you can't expect them to produce better results.
>>739708265kek
>>739704908IOI has never prioritized graphics. They prioritize physics, functional reflections, and NPC numbers. They're much more engine focused than visual focused.
>>739709275Yes they have. All their games look great. The best even. They choose well, their stuff looks realistic or a good version of it as opposed to fucking stupid.
>>739708852this always fucking happens. the dark souls remaster on the switch is just original dark souls
>>739709364Hitman 3 is still like PS3 tier minus the reflections. It looks good, but not great. It importantly has a consistent art direction, which is pretty rare nowadays, but the character model and texture detail is far below average for an 8th/9th gen title.
>>739709275>>739709364>>739709678>target is Chinese >*monlogues to himself with Chinese accent *>"Yes, rike this. This time it will not fail">Agent 47 bumps into him>*perfect American accent*>HEY BUDDY WILL YOU JUST...BACK OFF A BIT THANKSI wish they put more attention to detail on their sound design.
>>739709879This. Also the fact that every fucking level has the same 3-4 American voice actors, except for the levels that take place in America and then suddenly everybody's British.
>>739710026>except for the levels that take place in America and then suddenly everybody's British.Yea what the fuck was that about??It seems like the only consistent level is Mumbai where everyone except guards speak with Indian accents.
>>739707248And Moore's law has nothing to do with it. The chips got and are still getting more powerful. Devs just got lazy instead of catching up. You are paying with hardware resources for their laziness. See RT (and everything in the RTX pipeline), it was sold to devs as a way to ship games faster, not to actually improve them.
>>739706296lol, at least post the actual clip from the demake, the animations are still in
>>739708852That's because the Switch version reuses many effects from the original one, and is missing some modern effects. Digital Foundry made a video on it when it was released. Turns out repainting the Mona Lisa with modern pigments is not necessarily a good thing.
>>739704908top ran at 20 fps at 720 ....
>>739709275That being said
>>739712050one eye on the game and one eye on the controller, a true gentleman
>>739712004on a laptop tier cpu from 2012 and a GPU weaker than a 750 Ti, yeah
>>739712050Man. They could have just had him stand behind the chain fence and this would have easily been avoided.
>>739704908We hit the graphics cap
>>739712050>
>>739704908>2026 is just lower poly with antisovl gas to hide the low poly >also 5x reduced performance cuz gotta feed the hardware creators who have a monopoly on the industry and software space
>>739705161It's doesn't look better you are just a contrarian
>>739709275>ioi>prioritizing reflectionsall they do is add mirrors. actual reflective surfaces do not reflect. can be seen on the dead MI6 agent in the intro (in teh bathroom stall with a mirror)
games in 2026 have to run on mobile shit to make more money. mobile means less graphical improvements.
>>739713637If you mean Switch, nah, the games are downgraded later. And it doesn't explain why they keep getting more demanding despite graphics barely improving.
crowd system got downgraded
>>739712050What the fuck is that thing
>>739705161doesn't look better, Naughty Dog plays in another league than any PC game, ever, Cuckmann's writing is another conversation
>>739704908I was thinking about this recently, graphics have actually regressed. Despite studios charging more and taking longer to make said games.
>>739704908the first Far Cry was the point where improving graphics any further simply stopped making sense
>>739714079>he doesn't A-Pose in the toilets to do some auramaxxing before buying that girl a drinkNgmi
>>739714327Comparing to ioi's previous game there is an obvious improvement. You can't compare to Naughty Dog because they're one of the leading game studios on earth when it comes to graphics.
>>739712050Mackle is the only based motherfucker left on youtube that’s not a shill
>>739714079He was asserting dominance, Bond.
>>739714079well at least they seem to have mirrors >>739713060 that don't require giga maxx path tracing and still end up a blurry mess like RE9 and some other titles did
>>739714079leave bro alone
>>739704908Lost technology
>>739704908Blame the Switch 2 holding back games
>>739716621It was the same shit before Switch 2 dropped. Even in the past, consoles were always vastly inferior to PCs, yet it was possible for games to look much better.
>>739705401>FUCKING HOW!?!?White/Nippon developersThe industry now is full of jeets, chinks and diversity hired "talented" individuals. That's what happen when merit in not the common denominator within a corporation.
>>739716621>Blame the console that's only been out a yearYou are several different types of stupid, huh
>2006desu jc1 looks better in motion with the crazy bloom and motion blur effects
>>739716621>PS4 holds back the PS5 for a whole generation>"it's duh switch 2's fault!!"Retard
>>739705161>>739706430Also doesn't particularly look that good IMO. Crysis 3 has way better vegetation.
>>739717031The current industry is still full of Japanese and white devs (and pretty much always has been) for the most part yet games run worse now than in the past.You idiots never put the blame on the fact that the business heads of most AAA gaming companies ran out all of the talented programmers, artists, game designers and everyone else that gave a fuck about making good video games and replaced them with normalfags that don't care as long as they get a paycheck and political activists ten times over, ruining the quality of the end product tenfold while still charging an arm and a leg for what is essentially a defective product.
>>739706287>>739705401Dark, rain, and random ass light sources that have basically no function.
>>739704908companies realized plebes would buy whatever they shit out.
>>739704908not nice water
>>739717925>no causticsgarbage
>>739717886>and random ass light sources that have basically no function.looking cool, retard
>>739712698Right? Denied his true calling as a zoo exhibit to become just another streamer.
>>739712050>shilling your shit stillUsed to be just threads for every game now its clips
>>739705257>Moore's Law was abandonedAnon, that was achieved by making things smaller. Now there is a point where making things smaller doesn't work anymore, because shit is already as small as it gets. This isn't some retarded fantasy thing where you can just choose for things to magically get better eternally. Nothing was "abandoned". Technology hit a wall. Please stop thinking. You're not built for it.
>>739718013you can only see them indoors iirc
>>739706136>eternal suffering>video game graphics hitting diminishing returnsThey should have put that in the Bible.
>>739705401Arkham knight has a lot of ugly parts Rocksteady just had really talented artists who made sure you never noticed them with good use of lighting, weather, and map design.I must emphasize HAD because Suicide Squad looked like every other Unreal Engine game.
>>739718647NTA: Things are still getting smaller, as nm is mostly a marketing term that has no relation to how small a transistor is, just that the traditional costs of making a transistor smaller stopped decreasing along with its size around 2011-2012 as the complexities of getting them smaller surged.
>>739706386The Mocap was done by an Asian guy.
>>739705401At that point they knew UE3.5 like the palm of their hands.
>>739707579desu I think a lot of this is less laziness and more that the game need to be able to run on a girlbosses Chromebook with 700mb available in storage and a crypto miner from freemovies.com.
>>739705803The game is trash. >reee but it has nice lighting The game is trash.
>>739719729what are some of the ugly parts?
>>739704908Diminishing returns
>>739707579I like to create thin sim women and make them gorge themselves until they become obese.
>>739720283A lot of the things you don't really look at very often in the game have muddy textures and low poly modelling, you don't really notice it because of the art direction being stellar but it's there if you go round autistically inspecting all the models and textures all over the map.
>>739704908>>739705161It doesn't look better and 007 still doesn't have path tracing until next month.
>>739716520i did this in vice city
>>739704908I fear what type of games (or media) we will have in 2036. If we'll have any
>>739705401How'd they pull this shit off? The materials look like they're physically based at times, and given it's a 2015 title you'd think it'd be using PBR, but apparently there's no use of PBR at all.
>>739704908nothing. they added stupid shit to require people to upgrade cause it's a business and you need consumers to keep buying their new shit
>>739721415PBR is borderline anti-realism, games without it still look more realistic imo, because they were made to look that way. PBR just makes devs act lazy as shit.
holy lodsdid konami obtain new patents
what the FUCK
>>739713227>actual reflective surfaces do not reflectDid they downgrade from what they did in Hitman 3? Because that game had so many reflections that adding raytracing literally didn't change anything except the tank the framerate.
>>739705803Literally every reviewer whines about performance and every customer complains about it all the time. Shut up retard.
>>739722972>>739723074Every modern game has trash LODs with severe pop-in, but it's probably because the textures are massive so even 24GB of VRAM is limiting.
>>739705401to be fair nighttime and rain always make things look better but yeah rocksteady were so good
>>739723098It looks like the exact same tech used in hitman 3 but much lower res
>>739723404oof, massive downgrade

>>739704908Graphics have stagnated so hard that games that look not that much better from games from 10 years ago now need a 5090 just to run 60fps because that's just how it is.
>>739724201This is one of the few things about games that makes me truly sperg out without a hint of irony.

>>739704908It isn't fair to compare others to Naighty Dog on a graphical front. They're peerless in that area.
>>739726321I'm not a jaded luddite retard so I'm actually looking forward to that tech where AI generates the game on the spot for you without any real rendering or coding It'll be many years before infrastructure can enable the kind of processing needed for it to be actually good. But it will come

Complete bumblefuck how the devs went from this to spending 9 years fucking around with Suicide Squad.
>>739706324Thank God 3 was an unoptimized piece of shit when it came out.
Diminishing ReturnsThe jump from PS1 to PS2 was absolutely massive. Compare that to PS4 and PS5, and it’s practically insignificantNowadays the only way a game can look nextgen is either by spending millions on graphics (RDR2, Alan wake, CP2077) )or by specializing in one particular area (landscapes in KCD, character models in Death stranding)

>>739705803It was PC that had the extreme issues you low IQ ape
>>739704908Just playing Uncharted 4 a few years ago on my PC at 4k you could see a lot of the corners they had cut with the graphics to get them looking as good as they did, from just videos of 007 First light it looks better but really lacks the same level of care that Uncharted 4 had gotten.
>>739706287Works for people too lol. You can see that Psycho's face looks rather flat and doesn't have good subsurface scattering.
>>739737296Uncharted is more linear while having a much bigger budget People really underestimate budget constraints
>>739724201I wonder what happens if you just stop moving, if the game gameovers you... I even thought he wasn't giving any input for a minute because I genuinely thought this was such a moviegame you'd need to hold the analogue stick to move the dustbin lorryI can't believe they actually thought up a decent looking sequence for a movie and then put it in a game where you're staring at literal rubbish whilst the action happens out the front where you can't see itAnd then when it breaks through into the cutscene at the end you can see an object fling forwards... then freeze midair, and the awning or whatever it's called drops down before abruptly stopping tooWhat absolute shit
I think blaming woke and DEI for all of it is a bit silly, because if that were the case, you would've seen at least some exceptions outside of America but that's not the case. Stagnation is happening literally everywhere.I know people were glazing Crimson Desert, but overall it looks about as good as the Assassin’s Creed games
>>739705401Now post the dodgy looking cutscenes and character models

>>739737428>I think blaming woke and DEI for all of it is a bit silly, because if that were the case, you would've seen at least some exceptions outside of AmericaFrom which countries and studios, anon?
>>739737624Europe, Korea, China, or Japan
>>739705161>>739704908wrong. Frist light looks fucking better.
>>739737343Uncharted 4 isn't that linear, the story progress is linear but the levels range from linear scripted set pieces to large open locations with multiple routes through them, and as far as budget goes, probably not, 007 First Light's budget is larger than the previous 3 Hitman games combined, it's most likely in the 100 mil range just for development, I don't think Uncharted 4 got to that point, it took less time to make too.
>>739705401>game from 2015>would regularly drop under 50 fps on the best hardware at the time due to CPU bottlenecksI looked up the performance, it was utter shit
>>739707579This is just pure capitalismFirst you do your best, then get market share and reinvest in your next product to make it a bit better.

>>739738983The use of personal capital to invest in and (attempt to) increase personal capital.Personal can be interchanged with private as to make it distinct from state or crown ownership (even if crown property is itself private, it was the state in the modern period, we are post-modern).Sims 1 -> Sims 2 is capitalism. Money made before was reinvested. Every single expansion was bigger than the last. Some smart people even did advert packs such as H&M and IKEA, and were paid to do so, and they weren't even bad.Sims 2 -> Sims 3 has some of that. There's some reinvestment, there's one (really bad) advert pack, but it's 50% done on the cheap with lost features, from pianos to jobs to witty writing to animations to contextual animations to relationship and aspirations mechanics. Literal Sims 1 features dropped.Sims 3 -> Sims 4 is another downgrade.If crapitalism is all about debasement and scamming, why didn't we get the Sims 4 instead of 3? Or 2? Or even 1?Why haven't they made the Sims 5, but it's just the Sims 4: Remastered Edition, or the Sims 4 but with Unreal Engine slop shaders? They're LOSING money having not pushed out yet another Sims title.What could possibly have happened between 2 and 4 that meant Maxis and EA somehow forgot how to make a product, make money, and make their consoomers thank them for it? Not capitalism.

>>739706324>>739706360>>739707579A good way to tell if developers actually cared about what they did and put their passion and soul into their work, is too look for stuff like this. None of these details 'needs' to be in a game, most people wont even notice it, it doesn't add anything mechanically, it's just there. But the developers took their time to add it anyway, because they enjoyed doing it, they enjoy making games and didn't just do it solely to make money

>>739738983capitalism is a commie strawman, it was never meant to be an umbrella term explaining a social order like socialism/communism does. Thing is that commies wanted an ideological enemy to push their shit, so they conflated industrialization and property/intellectual rights with capitalism.

>>739740906Imagine it.
>>739739805>Not capitalism.Quite the opposite. EA is just playing to the meta strategy and they absolutely *are* reinvesting. The latest expansion pack for Sims 4 came out in February of this year and that's a very simple analysis of cost-benefit. Sims 4 is currently hovering at around 20,000 players on Steam charts and that's not accounting for non-Steam players. They're quite happy to keep playing Sims 4 so why make a new game when an expansion pack is 10% of the effort but 80% of the profit? That's the meta in gaming now. Keep your game alive, keep the player base alive and make your money through DLC and this has been the meta for over a decade. It's why we have so many companies making massive flops in an attempt to create the hit new live service slop which still fails to beat Fortnite or Destiny 2 or GTA Online or whatever it is that normies have been playing for half of their lifetimes. That is reinvestment even if you don't like the product and it's not as big of a risk as making a new game. I still think that Medieval 2 is way better than Total Warhammer and is objectively much better made in many ways but those things don't matter to the market otherwise we'd still have artisanal carpet weavers. Sure there's a fair bit of rent seeking with how for example Ubisoft can make money off Heroes III being sold on Gog just because it owns the IP even though everyone who made it is retired but the point is that capitalism optimising how to make money is a feature, not a bug.

The Sims 3 was already a live service.>I still think Medieval 2 is way better than Total WarhammerWhy does Creative Assembly keep making Total Wars? Why did they make Total Warhammer 2 or 3? Why didn't they just add more DLC to Total Warhammer 1? It's the literally the same code.CA, and SEGA, are more capitalist than Maxis and EA.
>>739724201Reminds me of that Guardians of the Galaxy game everyone was jerking off. That shit pretty much played itself as well.
I think both look fine.
>>739742567The cost of developing content for S3 was probably higher, and the returns were lower.Sports game companies have the exact opposite approach, where they sell the same game every year. It’s not about doing one thing or another; it’s about cornering a market and keeping at it.
>>739741187
>>739739167Yes. It's sad that there is no thought placed into the game, they give you a car and couldn't even predict that you might run the guy over with it.It's ludo-narrative dissonance. They could've placed him behind the fence, which is still absurd because you could drive right through it, but instead he's actively in harms way and they didn't bother adding a "jesus christ what the FUCK Bond" game over that would've required a ragdoll and a quick fade-out and made someone laugh.It's all just setpiece slop. If you don't do exactly what the dev intended, you're screwed. There's a scene later on where you're getting sniped and have to rush towards him, and it's totally fake. The guy won't hit you unless you stand still and wait for 5 minutes, but as a player you're expected to find this exciting, when you're in zero danger.
>>739743784>you might run the guy over with it.You won'tbecause it's time tiral and NPC is out of the way
>>739720557Oh good, then it'll run even worse and look shittier to boot.

>>739724201I can't tell if Michael is doing a bit or his eyes are legit fucked.
It's funny that you're comparing a state of the art AAA game made by the best developers in the industry versus a game made by mid tier euros and the fact that you're comparing both of them shows how far gaming has come in graphics when you dont have to minmax just to get something that looks as good as uncharted anymore.
>>739744432It is actually pretty impressive what IOI was able to do with the resources they hadBut the average /v/ user is an underage drama nerd who knows nothing about development.

>>739704908People will say DEI but Naughty Dog has always been super gay. The real answer is that PS5 and XSX are extremely underpowered for what they wanted to achieve. The goal was 4k and they're not even coming close. They still want higher resolutions and framerates so devs are forced to do sacrifices on the visual fidelity side of things. The result is that you get PS4 looking games but instead of 900p30 they're now 1344p42.

>>739748202>human talentMore like amount of humans working on the game full time
>>739748360One or two smart guys aren't going to make a AAA look better You need an entire assembly line working non stop making every aspect up to snuff
>>739748443yeah and the end result is often what OP posted. I'm not impressed with gta6 and what they've shown in trailers considering all the money and "talent" they have. tech wise gta4 was their last impressive game, and rdr2 in some aspects. I have also seen some short tech demos made by a single dev that are more impressive than your typical AAA slop you get from sony 1st party and elsewhere.
>>739704908What's with the water effects? I've noticed it in Forza Horizon 6 too, it's like we've regressed and don't know how to make pretty water effects for vehicles anymore, just white decals that stick to the surface
>>739737480fuck i still have to try the non vr version, ty for reminding me
>>739748635Idk what you are talking about Rdr2 is still the most technically impressive game out there Gta 6 will be even more from the looks of itLighting looks good, npc with different body types and actually muscles that move and even more detailed animations for everything.>Tech demosYeah about that, specific tech demos are very different from an entire game
>>739704908Wow, you can really tell the difference from this cherrypicked low res jpg-compressed comparison of screenshots from double compressed videos!

>>7397491731. 120+ people worked on the tw22. Yes you need thousands of people to make something like rdr2Uncharted 4 also had 400 people working inhouse alone working on a more linear and shorter game
>>739748962>>739749127>tech demosI'm saying the ceiling is much higher than what normies get with AAA slop on consoles nowadays. even ps5 hardware is largely underutilized. some remakes like re4 and DeS look like downgrades in certain aspects compared to the OG. I'm not saying the baseline should be that UE5 witcher demo but it can be much better than what we're getting today priced at $70 or $80. I've said this before, but with wukong and many upcoming titles, China has surpased west in graphical fidelity.
>>739747787Nice vaseline filter>>739749173Way better
>>739749073Thanks I know. It's actually scary how OPs point is even more amplified now
>>739749514Wukong only looks impressive in certain placesMost of the time it's not even as good looking as Elden ring And yes can do better by making games with much smaller scale like bodycam or spending big bucks

>>739751752No but everyone ignored the TRVKE poster. PS5 and XSX were a cross-gen for almost 4 years and consolefaggots got used to the 60fps versions of PS4 games. So now devs can no longer make 30fps only games and put all resources into gwafix. Meaning graphics can't get better than PS4 until we get PS6/XBOXwhatever.
>>739726321>zoomers will never know what it was like to experience the technological rollercoaster of gen 5 to 6 to 7>with every new entry you where always wondering how much better it would look and how much content there would bei truly feel sorry for this generation.
I don't know why some people here think we hit a wall. We didn't, not at all. It's just a matter of what's profitable more and more that's the problem. There's a lack of passion. Without passion there's no way forward. You and I and everyone knows most of this fucking nonsense is produced without passion. Outsourced. Vibe coded. Produced by people who think more about their fucking identities than their product. Or people who are praised no matter what they produce.

I feel like many anons have such unrealistically high standards that cannot be met just so they can stay angry and cry and seethe because shitposting and ragebaiting on /v/ is all they have left. nuGames look fine, yeah it's not a big jump over PS4 games but they still look good, most of you are still söyfacing over your sloppy PS2 games with 100 pixels but some new Ubislop looks like garbage to you? I don't believe you.
>>739752681I don't care if Wukong looks better than RDR2 but using employee amount as a metric is retarded when Ubisoft and Valve exists. Though Western companies are insanely bloated with genuinely useless hires.
>>739752627And CP is an open world with a lot NPCs and looks much better than crysis
>>739752515>>739752362I live in Saxony, so not far from the border, and I swear this game nails the local countryside so well it's astounding. Super comfy
I'm just enjoying playing nice looking modern vidyas on my high end PC. Why can't /v/ do the same?
>>739748116*sip*
>>739752362It uses modified CryEngine
>>739748116Yeah we can tell
>>739752891It would work if we didn't have clear examples of downgrades and a fundamental misunderstanding of what terrain is supposed to look likeThere's a whole series of videos where you can funnily enough, since you actually decided to talk about that series in particular, see how the series practically evolved backwards. It used to have pretty good dialogue, cutscenes and storytelling. Nice coreography. Now it doesn't. The standards haven't increased there, you're actually legitimately lowering them.
>>739752949That’s so incredibly dishonestcomparing old single player games with new multiplayer ones. Not to mention Asian studios cutting out all the QA, outsourcing, and people who did VA for different languagesMy point still standsyou can’t have next gen graphics without a massive headcountThat’s why most studios are stuck in the PS4 era
>>739753339BFremake looks good
>>739753380You're just wrong man. Sorry but adding 6 million retards to your dev team isn't going to magically make your game look next gen.I'm not even the same anon by the way, just pointing out you're retarded for thinking an additional 2500 employees is the requirement for next gen graphics, which is a genuinely retarded idea to hold
>>739752889What was Last Light's budget?
>>739730172you don't know what a luddite is
>>739734710PS4 had shitty SSD hard drive
>>7397536431.You are covering for a really comparison 2.Why don't you post examples of these next gen looking games? only example was Wukong, which looks like any other PS4 game.Headcount is significant because R* can have entire R&D and Optimization divisions that are bigger than most studios
>>739753643That's bullshit. Whilst dev count does 1:1 translate to better graphics, dev count SIGNIFICANTLY increases the chances of improving graphics & optimization. And small studios hardly have a chance at outputting great graphics without pulling from public assets.
>>739753876>only example was WukongDid you like, not realize that me bringing up studios like Ubisoft with actual 10k employees was part of the reason adding 2500 employees isn't going to do shit?>Wukong looks like any other PS4 gameOh nevermind I was just arguing with an actual retard. Goodbye.
>>739754036Wukong doesnt look good
>>739753268>just don't use Unrealis it really that easy?
https://files.catbox.moe/yoc4q9.pngthere you go the heigh rez version
>>739754036>Oh nevermind I was just arguing with an actual retard. Goodbye.See for yourself sassy faggot and post better shot >>739750656
>>739724201the strategically placed guardrail to put you back on track is the cherry on top
>>739733356Funny since RT on modern games is all about muh lights
>>739752973Crysis is open world too, at least some of the missions are>looks much better than crysisYeah it came out 13 years and two generations later since it basically didn't work on PS4
>>739739167Why do you fags always pretend thousands of games haven't had to deal with the same shit and they all did it gracefully? Maybe place him behind a barrier? React somehow? An insignificant fail state? Even a PS1 tier Driver run would've been better and funnier.
>>739704908>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE CUBEMAP REFLECTIONS BECAUSE... BECAUSE YOU JUST CAN'T, OK????????????
>>739704908>What the hell happened?To many jeets vibe coding with AI.
>>739704908Very simple. Graphics obviously peaked in 2018 or so.
>>739754487OH NO NO NO PS4CHUDS WE GOT TOO COCKY
>>739704908Crimson Desert might be a slop game but those gooks made the only good modern engine. The only real argument against it is a lack of polish.
>>739723026reminds me of Oblivion without LOD mod
>>739755243debunked>>739745161
>>739755243Very nice but too many pop-ins
>>739755243those mountains in the distance look ass
>>739755243idk I was more blown away booting up the Oblivion remaster than Crimson Desert, even tho it's Unrealslop and poorly optimized
>>739755243Yeah this does look like Witcher IV. Lack of polish is weird.
>>739755243It looks like a mobile game, everything seems fake. Screenshots look okayish but you move around and every asset is PS3 tier with pop-ins and bad shading.
>>739755243Bethesda has a better engine honestly.
>>739756262Your brain on playing decades of only Skyrim mods.
>>739756516Starfield shows how capable Bethesda is compared to UE5, it's top of the class for a reason.
>>739756262Okay I wouldn't go that far lmao
>>739755243Nah, image quality in this game is one of the worst I've ever seen.Even UE5 games doesn't look this bad.There is also a ton of pop-in and artifacts, not to mention the tonemapping, it looks terrible.
>>739756584Beth is just like star warsEndless potential and money but absolute retards and hacks at the topImagine war horse people had Bethesda budget and talent
Women wrangled their way to gamedev.
>>739755481Yeah bro, better hide them with a thick layer of fog, that would look great!
>>739755243This game really broke the Unreal shills
>>739756707>Nah, image quality in this game is one of the worst I've ever seenBy not being blurry?
>>739754632you can't even turn that option on on your 750ti ass rig
>>739752551Notice the position of the sun, retard. It's evening, it's supposed to be casting an orange light.
>>739757285>t. gook worshipper
>>739704908I got a new PC recently and loaded up Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018) and it still looks fucking amazing in 2026.I loaded up Assassins Creed Odyssey and it kinda looked like dogshit, I was shocked.
>>739752252>Zoomer so retarded he couldn't even get the release years right
>>739752973Crysis worked on release :^)
>>739758085Even 2500 employees couldn't save Ubislop
>>739757756case in point
>>739758085Too bad shadow was the weakest in that trilogy
>>739739604you’re wrong and reality fucking sucks
>>739759146Cry Engine also looks better, cope harder gook worshipper
Star Wars Battlefront mogs
>>739714079Is this Tom Holland's Cruising Simulator?
>>739706327>No one ever said Uncharted has bad gameplay.L O L
>>739752949>UbisoftI finished Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition the other day, and that game had a 15 minute credit crawl AFTER the original credits.That $20 remaster somehow had hundreds of people involved in its development. There is no fucking way in hell this ever had a chance to turn a profit.Absolutely retarded fucking company.
>>739747787>look at all this>absolutely nothingSuperb.
>>739739604Bright light does not reduce saturation retard.
>>739756707In motion IT IS very blurry and noisy.
>>739709275>>739709364IOI makes their games look good but they never focus extensively on graphical fidelity.Devs like Remedy do....but this is just a blatant nitpick thread so i guess it doesn't matter anyway.
>>739737370The game does game over when you don't play it, yes.
>>739752484Lol, LMAO even. Here is a game from 2012
>>739759464You are so fucking mad, lmao.
>>739704908if you want an even funnier comparison go look at black flag vs the blackflag remake.
>>739704908This maybe would be ok if it generated more (non-fake) fps. Maybe, because I have to see it moving.Does anyone know the performance difference?
>>739749926>>739751028>>739761830"But I did eat breakfast" posts
>>739763463You showed him with that bullshot
>>739753407Nah, it's a shitty downgrade
>>73976614212 year difference and they look almost identical
you'd think now that they've hit a wall with graphics improvements they'd start focusing on creativity instead but nope
>>739763463Wonder how it would run at 4K max settings on your jeet PC. Nigga can't even post his own screenshots and he's stuck using promotional shit
>>739763463that crysis 3 screenshot totally proves that gta looks exactly the same as cyberpunk!
>>739706360i was always mesmerized by the shadows you could make with the safehouse door in l4d1, thought it looked incredible for 2008. thank you env_projectedtexture for making shadows that look better than modern raytraced ones
>>739766351>millenniuncs actually believe this
>>739705161Crysis looks good for its time but it absolutely does not look better than current gen games. You are retarded if you think it does. It looks like a 2015 game which is impressive, but something like Alan Wake 2 or Forza 6 just stomps it in every graphical facet imaginable.
>>739766672>>739766351using low quality compressed youtube videos as comparison will always be retarded no matter which side you're on
>>739705383>high poly of one model for the cinematics>vs 1 npc randomly generatedAGOO GAGAGA
>>739760329At the peak of their retardation they had 20,279 employees. Even with 40 separate studios that would be ridiculous.
>>739751041its a shame catalyst was so ass, ME was kino
>>739767112raped goyconsoomer cope
>>739767112Fair but bethesda sucks dickKCD1 has better models than Sarfield
>>739738372>You can't name another dollhouse game other than animal crossingIt hurts because it's true
>>739705235Damn that was a tedious way to drag out a 5 second fight.
>>739752257>he thinks the game looked like that on ps3anon... you dumb fucking retard
not my problem
>>739768185copee
Seems like modern Dev issueWhere certain sections look next gen while other are stuck in PS4 erahttps://x.com/SicklyTheNinJa/status/2059866725982814695?s=20
<= One man project
>>739752345I was really impressed with how the maps looked in MK8, made me wish for an Animal Crossing game that looked like this
>>739768505i feel like IOI is kinda like Remedy where they really know how to set up a scene with their lighting style but foliage-heavy areas aren't really their strength. it still looks decent imo
>>739704908And the water looked even better in Anno 1404 (2009)
>>739768285>infamous second son>a unoptimized ps4 game that needs a ps5 to hit a stable frameratecome on now
>>739754019>he doesn't know about any of these
>>739704908this entire channel is dedicated to the downfall of game graphicshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ksme4hP4Nx97ilFTQ0K0Qbut basically this >>739705114AAA studios went to bed with NVIDIA and endshittification ensued
>>739704908>What the hell happened?Quantity over quality, they crank up polygons and other nonsense instead of actually having good and optimized graphics, that shit in 007 could be done with half the polygons, without forcing raytracing and with lower resolution textures that are too far away to even notice the detail.
>>739769367Nice water
>>739769414>its okay when nintendo does itkekw why are tendies even in graphics thread lmao
>>739705647>They use fucking React for UI elements. React, at OS level.the funniest part is that they backpedalled and are currently rewriting the UI in WinUI (native)wont touch Win11 slop until that rewrite is done
>>739769659>unironically linking to jimenez>>739769724>a fucking replaycome on now
tendie boutta have a meltdown
>>739769367ubisoft had some cool water shaders and wave physics in their submarine games silent hunter
>>739769414Holy fuck the goalposts are GONE
>>739769871youre not convincing anyone by saying mario world looks better than bioshock or infamous tendie lmao why are tendies so delusional
>>739769710
>>739769414Maybe the Switch 4 will have games that look as good as this.
>>739740987no more pre-baked ambient occlusion, now it relies on (bad, low resolution) post-process AO or (bad, low resolution, low trace count) raytracing
>>739769724I'm baffled that racing games of any kind that run at 30 fps still exist. It feel so alien.
>>739712050>>739724201I kinda feel bad for people with lazy eyesit's such a relatively minor thing that pretty much kills your looks altogether making you look like an inbred freakyou could be a 10/10, wake up with lazy eye one day and suddenly you are a 1/10
>>739717925is that literal shit on the bottom?
>>739769959i never said any of that dumbass, i just said bioshock infinite didnt look good on ps3learn to fucking read
AHERM....
>>739770283it did
>>739751941only thing helldiver gets right is smoke/fog and how it reacts to lightsnot sure if it is volumetric but it looks nice
>>739770360It's kinda neat but you can see that the waves stop being detailed and choppy 50m outside player focus.
>>739770369wrong faggot
>>739705803>ran fine for me day 1Bullshit, unless day 1 for you was after they fixed it. Shit release broken as fuck. But yes the game does look good.
>>739705161Based anon making new=good fags seethe eternally
>>73974935613 so far
>>739752252I take it more as games didn't last 10 years in 1991, zoomers stay on one game for 10 years. Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, GTA5 etc.
>>739771306Same for Age of Empire 2 and Counter Strike
>>739771297This (well, 2024, which is a MASSIVE graphical leap at the ground level, but still) and SpaceEngine are the only games that genuinely make my jaw drop with what they've been able to achieve.
>>739752891Why should I settle?
>>739755243Any asshole can import the whole quixel library but at least they knew what they were doing with it, I'll give em that but I'm still not impressed that they were less retarded than others.
