why does it seem like the textures of modern games have almost no realism put into them these days?

Silent hill 3 is on the left, the right is currently in production.

>two different games aren't the same

reminder that every board has "things aren't good anymore" posters paid by pharmaceutical companies in the United States

jk they use ai now cause it's free

probably because the game on the right isn't going for a realistic artstyle? there's plenty of games with detailed realistic face textures, you're cherrypicking really hard.

240p upscaled to 1080p 24 fps so your ai bot net console or pc is free to spy on you and run ai is so fucking great

I have a theory about this. Long ago, back in the era of ps1-ps2, they relied on extremely detailed textures to fill in the gaps of not being able to work with the same amount of polygons we have now. But now people rely more on increased polygons than actual detailed work. Take a look at world of warcraft for example. Compare "War within" to the classic artstyle, where they had to fill in the gaps of detail with textured pre-imagined things.

You can also see examples of this on games like Second Life as well, however degenerate it may be.
