>2010 gameStill looks fine, don't you think?
With that draw distance lol even HL2 had better illusion much earlier
>>743298570Maybe if you live in some shithole past the urals
oink oink oink
>>743298570No it doesn't atleast mod it like the Slav gods intended
Call of pripyat is somehow the ugliest game of the original trilogy. The remaster does improvw it a bit by making grass draw distance basically infinite and not like OP's pic where even at max you can see grass growing in the distance around you.
>>743298635hl2 is a corridor shooter retard man
>>743298570It looked worse than CS because they made the locations bigger and the texture resolution lower
>>743298570there are better looking games from 2010 than call of pripyatbut yes 2010 games look fine
The vegetation is always the give away. Even RDR2 looks dated in that regard.
>>743298570It doesn't look fine.
>>743298570to be perfectly honest I think this looks kinda bad op
>>743298570Thank fuck graphics tech has evolved so we don’t have to suffer through crap like this anymore
>>743298570>Still looks fine, don't you think?It's actually 2009... but yes, it does look OK.BUT, not only is CoP the ugliest one of the OG games, but its weather effects don't fully "kick in" before the next full day cycle.The indoor stuff fares better.And yes - there's OLDER games that still look more visually pleasing.
>>743299808The Xray games' biggest issue was the very flat LODs of distant surfaces. This made the grass' cut-off point also contrast way stronger against the environment.Basic environmental texture mods, like the Absoluite Nature, improve this tremendously, without even changing the resolution of textures nor the max distance of grass.
>>743298570Here's a 19 years old video game.
>>743301530>Thank fuck graphics tech has evolved so we don’t have to suffer through crap like this anymoreInstead, we have volumetric anti-soul fog, smudgy and ghosty TAA slop, which itself tries to hide noisy dithered hair and fauna. All while the game requires 200GB of storage space + Gay-Tracing tech to do shittier version of ~2005 dynamic lights and shadows.
>>743301743I tried playing the OG on Steam and I couldn't get it to launch, quite unfortunate
>>743302160>SteamMy DVD version and the GOG release work fine.If you're on Wee11, check the PC Gaming Wiki.
>>743302454maybe I'll check out the GOG versionthey sometimes include fixes with their releases
>>743298570This game was literally made by Nazis.
>>743302061skill issue collagetard
>>743303202fvark that is crispSTALKER 2 Crimson DesertForza H 6 PragmataI'm guessing
>>743298570it's functional
>>743303125>they sometimes include fixes with their releasesThey ALWAYS include them these days. It's their whole business model.>>743303202>modsTwo can play that game, Epicshill.
>>743298570Looks like fucking trash
>>743304967>modsyes?
>>743298570I prefer the 2004 visuals
>>743305953brown and bloom, sovl...
>>743298570Games from the 80s still look “fine”
>>743305991There is plenty of color too
2010 games. Even some 2007 games like that one. But not that one.
>>743306061what's the appeal of this?
>>743306187Of what?The sky?
>>743298570I genuinely can't play with such outdated graphics anymore
>>743298570also 2010:
>>743305953At least play in the 2004 mode then (DX8 Static Lighting).
>>743298570I remember I had some super cool parallax mod for textures to make them even more popping sadly I lost source of both screenshots (xfire) and mod.
>>743306327
>>743306360what game
>>743306531Yeah that shit was before my time fortunately
>>743306687
>>743306464Are you retarded?The dx8 mode was made for potato PC owners as a compatibility cope, the focus always was on dx9 with all the cool dynamic lighting features.
>>743306606Lords of Shadow
>>743306758is it as good as kino it looks
>>743306253what sky? half of it is burned out whites
>>743306327Zoom zoom can't play without muddy dlss and frame degren
>>743306061behold
>>743306875It's called "clouds"
>>743298570Most major games after 2015 look a bit shit because no matter what they always look blurry.It's like for the past 10 years every time I play a game my eyes get covered in vaseline.
Any STALKER screenshot always just guzzles with SOVL and atmosphere.
>>743307097These are clouds. Just fix your shitty reshade nigga
>>743302454Is this lvl of destruction possible in bf6, or any other modern game?
>>743307559What reshade you spastic nigger, that's ORL 2.5.It uses the e3 demo build skies and renderer.
can it ever be topped
>>743298570Clear sky looks better
Most PS3/360 era games look fine if you play the PC versions.
>>743306739>The dx8 mode was made for potato PC owners as a compatibility cope,Incorrect.The game was in development since around 1999. The DX9 mode was literally slapped on just a short while before the release, just to see what happens. The whole game was DESIGNED with DX8 and pre-baked lights in mind. Which is why it looks so good.
>>743298570Yeah, "Fine", I don't want to play something "fine" nowadays, it better be "Good" instead.
>>743307856No, because assets are low poly, no matter how much you up res, antiliasing, anisotropic filtering, what have youAdd 4k texture packs, add Ray Tracing etc
>>743307965>a short while before the releaseRight, this is why they literally showcased the game for the first time featurning even more advanced lighting than what made it into the final producthttps://youtu.be/NTKLBpx7oTs?t=225
>>743306819It plays like a ps2 game, for better or worse.
>>743307965This is the first time I've ever seen someone defend dx8 with static lighting vs. dx9 with dynamic lightinglay off the contrarianism dude
>>743308214You do know that 2004 was literally 5 years into the development?>>743308638I'm not "defending" anything, you dindu tourist. I'm the first one usually screaming at the zoomer Stream-fags to switch to DX9 / 11 mode, since at least STEAM release defaults to DX8. Hell, I made these comparisons back when Obama was your king!The point still is: DX8 was the go-to default originally, and the GSC's devs made a very clear statement in an interview 20 something years ago, that the DX9 was a quite late addition, and an experimental one at that. But they nailed it so well, that the OG STALKER games are still the go-to argument against the Nvidia spooks' RT shilling.
>>743310509>You do know that 2004 was literally 5 years into the development?Are you seriously counting the fucking pre alpha aztec pyramind shit as stalker development?My guy you need to pipe down a notch.
>>743310835>Are you seriously counting the fucking pre alpha aztec pyramind shit as stalker development?Yes.AND the 2002-2003 "Oblivion Lost" version, which was literally a Beta stage product.You're the only one trying to spread bullshit here, PIebbit tourist.
>>743311228>a Beta stage product.Look up what beta actually means, retard-kun.it wasn't even an alpha back then, it was at the tech development stage where nothing was set in stone and they didn't even have half the planned features ready.Saying the game was somehow indeded for dx8 static ligthing is pure insanity, you really need to stop consuming drugs.
>>743307965>>743310509>>743311228>it's another "westiod pretending to be le based buildofag" episodeYou know nothing
>>743310509Stop, dude. I'm dying from cringe. DX8 is gay and bad.
>>743298570>Actually, this 15 year old piece of shit looks good actually.This is one of the saddest poorfag copes.
>>743308214>A world full of wildlife>Blows the shit out of everythingLmfao, back when even presentations had soulStalker 2 literally dropped with nothing more than cinematic slop trailers over the years
>all this hate towards the old Stalker gamesI'm not buying Shart of Chornobyl no matter how big your smear campaign is. ;)
>>743302061>Zelda's house is foggy indoorsAmazing.
Clear Sky has the best vanilla visuals, suck my dick homos.
>>743307856I agree. Also a great balance between form and function. As time went on past PS360 canned animations replacing responsive mechanics started to become too overbearing.Pure mechanics allow for unintended interplay, canned animations lock you out of interacting with it in deeper ways than the base function.But having literally no contextual animations whatsoever can also not feel very satisfying to use, so it's important to strike a balance.A PS3 game heavily downsampled looks more pleasing to my eye than a PS5 game running at 720p (or less!) and upscaled to 4K or whatever like a lot of modernslop on console.PS4 games look even better for the most part, but PS5 is when they completely lost the plot.
>>743320247pretty much
>>743302061these images are edited to have less contrast btw

>>743303202>can see the blurred sky from the 124 pixel previewlmaoing @ nu-games
>>743321963I miss MT Framework, man. RE Engine CAN look great, just look at that new turn based Monster Hunter. But it usually doesn't, just look at pretty much everything else.DMC4 looks better than 5, RE5 looks better than 4 Remake, Monster Hunter World looks better than Wilds, it's downgrade after downgrade with the move from MT to RE.
