When the opportunity to make games look like movies presented itself, it was all over for the good ol' gaming. Photorealism made games look ugly, cheap and creatively bankrupt, with the ability to just scan someone’s mug and then turn it into the stuff of nightmares with bad shading and bamp maps and whatnot. The level design also degraded to “let’s just make a forest” and fill it with an anti soul gas. It also opened the floodgates for all the wannabe movie directors/writers, who now started using gaming as an outlet to compensate for their failed hollywood careers. Which, in turn, attracted the unwanted attention of the MSM and NPCs.Even now they will tell you that photorealistic graphics are better. Fuck photorealism. Fuck it up the ass.

Everyone always using Arkham Knight to make a point about the degeneration of gaming graphics always annoys me, because while it is a good example that game also suffered from the worst decline in style I've ever seen. The super stylized comic book appearance of the characters in the previous games was so much better it's unreal. Poison Ivy looks like a grandma in AK.
>>740180059the truth is that investors wont put money in your company if you dont develop games with "AAA" graphics 90% of investors dont play gamesFamily owned companies are rare, like Falcom and Koei Tecmo
The ability to realistically portray emotions on a character's face in combination with improved voice acting brought with it a lot of female interest too. Gaming only had the odd autistic or cool tomboy chick involved before the 7th gen but now like half the audience and the studios have female voices within them and the quality of gaming, socially and mechanically, has plummeted drastically.
>>740180059Right is better and it's not even close
>>740180059right is dysgenic
>>740180059That's because you're not attracted to the character
>>740180059i agree with you but this is a bad example. Lady is the cutest character in DMC5.
>>740180059>PhotorealismEven Ruben's wife looks more like dmc3 Lady than NuLady

It's pretty jarring and I love this Lara. But compared to the original stylised poster, this looks weird somehow and less iconic.
Dont forget Trish
>>740180059All true. There is no reversing it though, just appreciate the few true games that are still coming out.Saw Kemuri yesterday during State of Play and added it to my list.
>>740180059yea?well what about photorealistic lolis?
>>740180059I want both

>>740181796DMCV outsold every game in the series. The execs are right. Since Capcom' pivot to realism they've been basically making sextillion dollars with each new RE and has minor success with new IP. It's a point that makes them sell and look expensive. If you want to blame anyone blame the audience.
yeah

Lady is pretty cute in DMC5. If I met a girl like her irl I'd fuck on sight.
>>740180059How to turn the world into Anime style ? Should i ask the baddies from Fire Force ?
>>740181796>established companies>investorsIt's not like any of them are running new funding rounds. Investors don't fucking matter unless they have a controlling share.
>>740186753I don't ever see people question why she has different color eyes and she ages better than Dante. Did she get conceived by Arkhams demon cum?
>>740186753what about a guy who looks like her?
>>740180787I got that dawg in me too, maybe i have a chance...
>>740188175Tell him to hide the penis between his legs and buy some whiskey and lube, im going IN
>>740183602Trish always looked like a crack whore. DMC5s only crime is enhancing it.
>>740180059DMC, much like RE, was always trying to be as realistic as possible.
>>740188517That's kinda gay dude
>>740188175I'd fuck too, given he'd fuck me after I'm done.
>>740181796(((investors)))
>>740180059i don't think it's necessarily photorealism, i think it's that photorealism just doesn't really work for women's facesthey are much softer than men's and the 3d modelifying of them always comes out making them look more manish and strangethe same effect happens with male characters sometimes but it is not at all to the same extent
>>740187721She has homophobia and she ages better because she's actually taking care of her body.
>>740188814if topping a twink/femboy is straight enough to the ancient romans, its straight enough to me
>>740189231It was not straight enough for ancient Romans, that became a thing close to the fall of Rome when degeneracy was peaking. Actually read a history book instead of believing reddit.
>>740189008>i think it's that photorealism just doesn't really work for women's facesIt's a mix of lack of makeup and the devs intentionally making her face look more average so they appear like "real woman"
>>740189352It also has become a thing now close to the fall of the west, history is cyclicalWhat can i say? Im a man of my time :^)
>>740180059Real, I just played Haunting Ground and it's amazing to me how much better fucking PS2 characters look compared to today's AAA trash
>>740185063Goddamn Bill Gates was rightEuthanize 99% of humanity NOW
>>740180059I remember making this argument back in middle in 2007. Gwaffixfags haven't changed in decades.
>>740180059Of all the people you pick Lady, who had a pretty face model and a pretty video game model? You could at least have picked Trish, who was botched to hell in-game.
