Why did late 6th gen games looked so washed out? Around 2004 it just happened. Gone were the beaches and the sun, hello brown and bloom. It’s especially notable when devs got lazy and mixed old models with new

>>12043596There does come a time when devs in mid-development see the next gen on the horizon, some start getting the dev kits from the console-makers, and they just say "fuck it" and rush out whatever current-gen projects they have on the table.

>>12043623How dare people ask for context and theorize about societal trends and norms of the period. Why not just have another console war circle jerk instead?
>>12043596It was because of World of Warcraft, like if you look at a brick wall each brick will be pretty blurry but stuff like ps1 and gamecube you could see each individual brick.

Sonic adventure is saturated though
