When's the last time you were legitimately amazed by a game's technology?

>>712878029 (OP)
I was replaying the classic Resident Evil games and noticed that bullet casings will bounce off walls and stuff. Never noticed that before but it’s pretty cool for such old games.

>>712878029 (OP)
wow that's pretty good for an older game

I'm not really interested in that sort of thing. What amazes me is when a game tells an emotionally deep story with mature themes relevant to our real world.

>>712878286
>for an older game
Ironically older games tend to have more of these kind of details.

>>712878029 (OP)
Honestly, I think the last time I was actually "wowed" was when I played Call of Duty 2's demo.
>seeing all the enemy NPCs swarming you
>seeing the muzzle flare from the turret light up the surrounding sandbags
I just remember that feeling truly next gen.

>>712878526
My favorite game is Undertale by the way, not sure if that matters.

Nothing specific is super impressive but all of it working together on my shit machine is just amazing

>>712878958
Why does this game get so much hate again?

>>712880824
Not being noir
Max goes from jaded charming detective to jaded boomer action hero also too many cutscenes
But it's still a great game
1>3>2

>>712880824
ive never seen anyone genuinely hate mp3. it's always liked for being a fun game, just not very good at being a max payne game (which is true because its quite literally man on fire the video game)

>>712878526
Lmfao this is top tier bait

I can’t think of the last time I was amazed, but that Indiana Jones game captured the exact appearance of a sunny day in Rome. Something with the sunlight hitting the marble.

>>712881054
Btw zoomers check out man on fire
It's bretty good
Danzel is always kino

>>712878136
I dunno what it is with Valve and their autism for water stuff lately. From a basic shader in bottles in HLA, and now this. Not complaining though.

>>712880824
it's a really drastic change in setting and tone compared to 1 and 2.

>>712878136
Probably Half Life Alyx or Skyrim VR modded

>>712880824
Single room shootout>cutscene>single room shootout>cutscene>single room shootout
The cutscenees weren't skippable though. I have never seen anyone hate on the gameplay though, it's probably one of the tightest third person shooter.

>>712881224
They got a water nigger autist on their team, it's all her (formerly his) work.

Something something in GTA 6 for sure.

Honestly it was star wars rogue squadron on the gamecube back in fucking 2001. Honestly nothing has impressed me as much since then because the leaps aren't there anymore

>>712881157
It's not even funny anymore

>>712880517
They dumbed down the physics in 3 and added some scripted animations. That was when I dropped Sony completely

>>712882739
The sad thing is that tech tricks aren't even computationally expensive. We could build a game for a 2000's system full of tech tricks that impresses people, but it's more of a time consuming thing than a computational problem. We could have so many technically impressive games if they just could implement them all.

>>712881157
That's not bait, retard. It's an obvious joke.

>>712878029 (OP)
Factorio with the sheer amount of things it can simulate at the same time without slowing down.

Graphically I guess the reflections and RT shit in Control, but that wasn't anything major.

>>712880517
>>712883149
legitimately crazy. k1 was such fire

>>712883316
I feel like ray tracing has stole the thunder of old school tricks. Too many developers are just sitting and waiting for base engines to get more capable of instead of going out of their way to be innovative with what they got. They will release some new RT Super Max AAA game but a lil Crysis from 2007 still does things it doesn't.

>>712883316
Those are pretty much the only modern games even mentioned here

>>712880824
Lots of unskippable cutscenes mixed with much less interesting writing than 1&2. I replayed the trilogy awhile ago and despite it being my favorite as a teenager it's the only one I not only didn't blaze through in a day but didn't even finish. I'm not sure I'd even say the gameplay is really better considering the limited weapon variety, on-rails sections, and stiffer movement although it's still definitely fun.

>>712878367
+
>>712880824
because it used the wrong engine
>>712883583
true

>>712884080
That looks fun

>>712881205
Be more specific the remake not og 80s one

>>712884193
I would prefer if you would be quiet

>>712883316
Factorio is a work of art.

>>712878029 (OP)
If a modern game did this /v/ would be bitching about wasted time on superfluous shit that doesn't matter

>>712884492
that bubble thread was very reminiscent of old v/
guy was loosing his mind

>>712884492
If a modern game did it they'd make you carry around a cup that you need to fill at multiple fishtanks.
There would also be a piece of paper with a fishbowl a glass and a goldfish.
And a link to the wiki to explain the 'puzzle'

>>712884492
You should probably take your medication.

>>712880824
>Why does this game get so much hate again?
Because it turned all the people who played it into glue!

>>712884368
It really is

>>712884492
if a modern game included things like that it'd be at the cost of something else, usually optmisation or undercooked gameplay.
Starfield has some legitimately beautiful interiors, skies, plants and vistas and some great armor but none of it really matters when the gameplay is ass

>>712883583
>I feel like ray tracing has stole the thunder of old school tricks.
Yeah ever since raytracing became a regular feature, people stopped caring about stuff like that I feel. I guess with the way raytracing has become so marketed in the industry these past few years, all the other tricks in vidya tech development are overshadowed in discussions.

>>712884492
You're not wrong. I remember anons seething over the beer liquid physics in GTA 6 trailer few weeks back.

>>712878294
There is no reflection happening in that webm

You're both just fucking dipshits
>>712891510
You especially since you defaulted to "hurr your just baiting" to try and undermine the post and defending you being wrong and a retard.

It's a very common method of reflection to have a second character walking around behind the "mirror" in a second room that's mirrored on the other side, the second character is holding a flashlight and that light is shining through the hole in the wall where the mirror is.
It's not fucking rocket science.
You really think they calculated how the fucking light would reflect?

make up your mind retard

>>712891840
everything in a game is an imitation and not a simulation of the physical world, you have terminal autism to sperg about this

>>712891840
So there is a reflection

>>712891840
Not how this is done. Don't insult others if you can't logically put things together yourself. There is no lighting calculation really being done here at all.

>>712891840
Yeah. And there's no person or flashlight or mirror in that game either. Did you know that games are just pixels on a screen? Fucking retard.

>>712891840
Looks like you need some time to reflect on how to improve your bait

>>712890669
none of this is impressive anymore for AAA, and large scope projects taking 5+ years and having exorbitant budgets is just unsustainable, the cost of being this detailed is just not worth it

>>712891945

>>712891840
don't bother trying to explain things like this to zoomers. they literally can't comprehend it.

This is the kind of autistic detail people actually want. Your game can look as photorealistic as possible with the newest Raytracing technology but having some realistic reactive water is so much cooler. People just love to shoot at random stuff and see a reaction

>>712891840
is there anything worse than being a dumb autist? it has to be some kind of curse, maybe a punishment for something your blood line did

>>712878136
TF2 at launch has this ridiculously detail water ripple but it was removed because it drags your framerates to the ground.

Because improving AI is a bad thing. It's trivial to write AI that's smart and will flank the player. Every player hates it, because you get absolutely raped in unwinnable engagements with one guy baiting you around a corner and 3 more shooting you from another hallway.

So instead AI is all about stuff like missing the player on purpose if your back is turned, or shouting about when they're moving or hunkering down so you know how to kill them.
