Have game devs ever looked at something before like a thing 3 feet away isn't obscured by fog in real life

>>712469853 (OP)
Why didn't they just port UE? Why does it need another remake? Why can't they also just release 2 and 3 as is? I don't give a shit about a remake of 1, I want to play Gears 3 horde mode again.

holy shit it makes sense now

kek i saw retards talking about this remake yesterday

>>712471734
It’s not another remake retard, it’s the remastered version of the UE. Is just a port with “enhanced” visuals for this generation since that game came out last gen. But yes, I would have preferred a collection instead of this.

>yo dawg we heard you like remasters

>>712470002
It probably lazily warps around the character like so many shit games.

>>712476221
>holy shit
nah, it's not the cow's shit. It's just human feces.

>>712469853 (OP)
Bot my problem!
>proceeds to spend $5000 on consoles and other ai generated sloppa

So there's gears of war. Then the ultimate which just improves resolution and frame rate. Then reloaded which is a newer unreal engine and remastered assets.

Is that right?

>>712477998
This image should help you understand.

Top isnt in-game

Who is teaching modern graphics artists to do everything in low contrast? It needs to stop.

I-is the bottom the remaster? Holy shit that's terrible. A yellow piss filter, shitty lighting, and no color/saturation on anything.

Jesus.

They shouldve just ported the trilogy to PC and did touch ups to the existing graphics.

>>712481742
The gold standard for every remake/remaster going forward should be Halo MCC. Just give us the original game with the exact same gameplay on PC at 4k 60fps and functional multiplayer with modern anticheat, and have any updated art assets be entirely optional.

>>712482707

>>712478156
abomination

>>712471021
>>712482878
It is quite literally not possible to run modern games without fog. They don't add them for looks, they add them to make GPU render less and it's not just an unreal engine thing, Elden Ring, for example, uses it everywhere for the same reason, it's an open world. Without fog, good luck running that.

>>712483335
So open world is the problem, as always

t. Halofag who grew up only playing halo

>>712483335
No, post-processing effects like just raising the contrast cost next to nothing. They just choose not to do it >>712483279

Genuinely is Anti-soul gas fucking hard coded into modern Unreal Engine at this point?

>>712483602

>>712483793
*pea soup grade fog

>>712482707
The MCC is pretty bad. First off, it took about a decade to get it where it is now and not because it's experimental technology on the forefront of Human knowledge, with MILLIONS of Microsoft dollars.
The front end fucking sucks and it looks like it was modeled on Windows 8 Metro. They should have preserved the unique front ends for each game in a launch menu with a consolidated mode for multiplayer akin to the MCC.
On top of that, the Halo pc ports pretty awful, Gearbox's Halo 1 port was actually abysmal, and they referenced those to build the remasters which is part of why they suck and remain broken even after Halo 1 and 2 got their recent fixes.

>>712482707
The gold standard should be ND.
Native mod support while keeping the background shit intact.

>>712483602
but on the other side of the monkey's paw, they released all of the level editors and content tools for basically every game and even though it's bloated, the MCC is also totally flexible with letting people play how they want, which is cool. I wouldn't change anything because of that.

It's like when they remaster a film or something, right
You just take the exact fucking thing and enhance it bit by bit - similar to the Majora's Mask decomp.

If anything, only add subtle quality of life enhancements, like say adding the iron boots to the C button in OOT for its water temple - things of that nature

>>712484171
Yea but you can't host servers with maps made in mods tools which sucks.

>>712483780

I love how remasters are literally just super expensive marketing material to make me want to play the originals

Decent attempt but you need to lower the saturation

>>712469853 (OP)
Why are zoomers too dumb to turn the brightness down?

>>712482707
Spawns are still fucked in MCC. Any objective game in halo1-3 spawns all players at the same base. Also slayer in 1-3 uses the objective spawn points for maps instead of regular spawn points

what happened with black color in video games?

>>712483335
l4d2 managed to use fog as an optimisation technique by hiding z plane clipping, enhance atmosphere and yet the game still had a decent level of contrast. This shit just makes the scene look dusty.

>>712483335
dont be a dunce maye. Open world games from 2005 needed fog. Games in 2025 don't render distant stuff you moron. Fog is there because they are hacks who have no other ideas how to create something visually interesting. Same with rain and snow. HUR DUR BRO ITS RAINING OMG IT'S SO VISUALLY COOL

>>712489904
I don't know, it's really bizarre. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition put a filter over the entire game to make it look shitty and washed out instead of black, you have to add a launch option to steam to get rid of it. Devs really want their games to look like shit I guess.

It’s not a remake. It is literally a port so PlayStation niggers will by on to build a stronger fanbase for e-day, which spics and niggers seem to think looks cool despite changing the character’s models (a common practice since gears 3) more egregiously than ultimate edition ever did.

>>712499361
No idea what stance you're taking, but Ultimate Edition looks worse. Simple as.
Also the extra chapters they added to act 5 suck ass and ruin the perfect pacing of the original campaign.

>>712499993
People teaching graphic design these days confuse contrast for noise, and noise is considered unequivocally bad and to be avoided at all cost. It doesn't help that some autistic people find the stimulation contrast provides to be uncomfortable, so they soften everything until it looks the same, then you throw volumetric fog all over it and it's just a pale blur of shapes melding into each other. Art direction as a medium has been dead for a while.

The only downside of the remake was the shitty 30 fps for the campaign. Iirc they even gave you 60 fps for multiplayer so it’s not like it was intentional, they just couldn’t get it to run on the dogshit Xbox one.

They don't realise that other people don't have that problem, they just think it looks bad and "fix" it, or ask for it to be "fixed" in terms of the audience.

I hope you guys realize it's literally one (1) line of code in a shader that causes this, and it's a deliberate choice. it's hilarious to see people attributing this to fog, TAA, competency crisis, etc. It's literally just a color space.

>>712500697
Dam n the original had depth of field affects, tessellation on ground textures, characters cast shadows on cover, high contrast, objects cast shadows on themselves, etc. Remake is missing all those per object shadows, depth of field, texture tessellation and looks washed out.

It's an old remaster made a decade ago for the Xbox One that was intentionally played up with UE4 to try to highlight how far tech had come since the original Gears release. The problem is the art team were full of retards that just changed whatever regardless of anything. Case in point, GoW2 and Classic models for 3 kept the skull being painted on instead of a literal steel emblem among other things, while Ultimate/Reloaded just does whatever it wants with the designs.

I'll never get why people want remakes of seventh gen or later games. The graphics are fine just play the originals.

>>712506027
>I'll never get why people want remakes of seventh gen or later games.
I'm in my 30s but most people around my age won't go back to something unless it has a new coat of paint and alters the game's tone for modern sensibilities. Gen Z won't touch anything unless its new regardless of quality or if they've even heard good things about the IP before. They will see a movie like Snow White made in the 1930's, by hand with limited resources and wonder where the CGI is. Gen A is worse than that.

What a superficial thing to be hung up over. You can clearly tell UE looks like Marcus Fenix. You can tell he’s from the gears of war franchise. You can tell he’s dressed like he’s from the first or second gears of war game. Not a single remake, ever, in existence, has ever copied the original work down to a t. That doesn’t automatically make them bad. You need to learn to judge a work on its own merits. The remake looks good. It changes things but never to the point where they’re unrecognisable. You literally have to nitpick to find something to be upset about.

Also if you weren’t dishonest you would have mentioned how gears 3 completely messed up the colours of the classic skins. Cole is running around dressed in bright white, where as in 1 and 2 his armour is almost grey. Baird has giant lights on his shoulders, which weren’t there in gears 1 and 2. Marcus’s pouches are also too brown in game compared to 1 and 2.

>>712506027
360 games don’t look as good as you think they do

>>712495820
It's a lack of attention to detail. If they half ass the little things then they'll half ass the big things too. Like the volumetric lighting, tone, and general art direction. Spoiler: They half assed those too.

Have any of you haters actually seen the game in person, or do you just go off random cherry picked screenshots? Have any of you actually played the original recently? We’re any of you even old enough to remember the hate the first game got for look like like mush?

People didn't have to "jump through hoops" to watch old movies, emulating is the same concept. Or just buying the old consoles and games on various sites.

Some kid born in the 60's who wanted to watch King Kong 1933 didn't have any issue or excuse, theres no excuse if someone born in 2015 wants to play Crash Bandicoot.

The circles are breastpads, designed to protect and cradle your breasts. Why would they look like circles when everyone knows real breasts sag?

The reason game devs do this is because the original is too gritty and is associated with masculinity. By adding bleached out colors and bloom effect, the game will have more feminine aesthetic go cancel the patriarchal art direction.

Dogshit modern engines. A real remaster would be done in the original engine with new solutions retrofitted to it but we live in an era of pussies that can only chop out assets and make a few bullshots here and there and not even good ones.

in the original Gears Of War era people used to constantly meme about how the male characters look like ridiculous caricatures of masculinity with square heads on football quarterback bodies while the women all look normal, the right is just Marcus with less cartoony proportions.

It’s baffling how you can hit the mark in so many places with a remake and still have autists be butthurt. Why can’t you fags be genuine for once in your lives and just admit you hate it beside it’s a remake and that alone is enough to trigger you?
