6th gen was peak graphics. Everything after that was downhill.
>>12053906how does it look in motion? That's the main problem
>>120539066th generation Devil May Cry characters look like dolls wearing wigs. But the games have amazing visual direction otherwise. I think the PS2's superpower was technical production costs balanced against non-programmer talent within the industry. Giant industrial art operation with its final efforts being crystalised in the form of regularly releasing 'video games'.Costs too much to just throw artfags at a generic action game premise afterwards. Takes too long, tech burden too heavy.
>>12053906That's most likely bait but just in case:5th generation graphics were so limited by the early technology that unique aesthetics emerged as talented developers invested ingenuity in making the most of those constraints.6th generation graphics represented the very earliest stage of the same technical principles and approaches that are still used today. They are objectively the worst version possible of modern graphics.So unlike its previous generation, whose visuals were based rooted on deprecated technical principles and—much like pixel art—are now still appreciated and imitated as basically an unique artform born of technical necessity, 6th gen visuals can only be appreciated either ironically or entirely based on nostalgia. Simple as.
>>12053907Looks fine.
>>12053997>They are objectively the worst version possible of modern graphics.If you think 6th gen graphics are WORSE than 7th and later you should IMMEDIATELY commit suicide. I hope this is bait.

>>12054069??? 480i vs 480p or better? No one would choose 480i
>>12053997>unique aesthetics emerged as talented developers invested ingenuity in making the most of those constraints.Very romantic. One could also say limitations stifled and compromised artistic ambitions.Don't @ me with some variation of>limitation breeds creativity>modern artists badBecause you're kinda right but it's complicated
>>12054242>limitation breeds creativity>modern artists badI agree that both are generalizations. Which doesn't change the fact that the first can be true (even as you chose to phrase it), unlike the second. Or that the second can hardly be inferred from this >>12053997, unlike the first.
>>12053906>posts the ugly hd remaster and not the 6th gen version
>>12054119t. Zoomer who grew up on Halo 3 and GTA IV
7th was the last one where there was any graphical leap worth talking about.Wherever this was actually utilized well is another story.
>>12053997the 5th gen limitations were so harsh it was a detriment to the art.if companies actually cared about the graphics looking good and not just appealing to normalfags, they would have made every game with 2d sprites (mario kart 64, shiren the wanderer, klonoa). I can only imagine how much better a smash bros 64 with sprites would have looked, the 3d models in that game are fucking trash because of limitations, and it was obvious even at the time.
>>12054424>the 5th gen limitations were so harsh it was a detriment to the art.Zoomer spotted. There's a surreal vibe to early 3D that you either have a soul and get it, or you were born after the soul fountain ended and won't ever get it
>>12053997It's a good thing that they're the worst. If we kept using this number of polygons on today's hardware power we could have bigger, brighter, deeper games with low overhead on specs. But no, people kept chasing the newest shiny thing and now graphics have stagnated for so long that GPU hardware is literally being made to deal with things that make games look worse like that stupid dithering on a model's hair. It's so stupid.
>>12054428sorry but I preferred the SNES over the N64, it was a terrible letdown.
>>12055150>N64So you chose the wrong option that generation. That was a (You) problem.
>>12055167Playstation was the shovelware console, Saturn had some good games but I still prefer the SNES. I had all 3, keep coping with your lowpoly brain because there were only a handful of games at most that actually looked good in 3d at the time, one being Megaman Legends.
