Graphics have improved a lot since the PS3. Why do people pretend otherwise?

>>715617741 (OP)
Yeah, no fucking shit, it's been almost 20 fucking years.

>>715617741 (OP)
I don't. Booting up vanilla Skyrim is enough to know how far graphics have progressed.

i have a feeling that left reedus looks fucking terrible in motion

>>715617741 (OP)
Cherrypick. Mgs2 has better visuals, interactivity, ai and gameplay than ds2. You can't even destroy glass bottles in ds2.

>>715617982
I will allow you to cherry pick the best looking screenshot of mgs2 to prove your point that it has better visuals than ds2

Because we reached a point where it doesn't fucking matter. Oh wow I can see this hairy ape of a man's nostril hairs! WHO GIVES A FUCK?
Platformers peaked with mario64
Shooters peaked with quake, cod and bf
Open world peaked with gta
Fighters with tekken, sf, doa
Rpgs with ff and pkmn
We've already played everything if you want cgi go watch some capeshit or something

Kojima has always been a graphicsfag so
If he wasn't pushing graphics he would have never been popular

Graphics have improved a lot since the PS3 but the graphical advancement of the last 10 years has been slow compared to the gains of the 2000s. We're basically in the area of diminishing returns and less immediately noticeable upgrades, while the actually crucial improvements such as texture compression or RT are still in an awkward growing pains phase. A 2015 game will look way better than a 2005 game while needing a lot more power, but a 2025 game will only look slightly better than the 2015 game while still demanding a lot more power.

By the way don't listen to the cretins who tell you that graphics have not changed at all in the last 10 years or so. While it is true that progress has become too slow, there still is progress which cannot to be noticed by people still living in the past who think MSAA is still a thing because their GTX1050ti creates an artificial limit of what they consider worthwhile games.

DS2 does look really, really fucking good, but that's because its not made in Unreal like everything else.

>>715617741 (OP)
Yes, realistic graphics have improved. But only faggots care about those, so it doesn't matter.

>>715617741 (OP)
it still looks nothing like a human being...
I dont get how they can make photorealistic environments like >>715620625 and OP is the best representation of a human they can achieve

DS2 is the first PS5 game that looks like a PS5 game but that's because Kojima games always look great

>>715621451
What more do you want from a representation of a human being? What could be more detailed or accurate than a full body scan rendered in the exact same engine as the environments your praising?
I will say though, there is something about super high quality Blender porn that is uncannily close to real human skin/liquid physics, DS2 is as close to that as I've ever seen in a game

>>715621732
It's not even uncanny, that thing just straight up looks like a cartoon, snake looks more realistic

>>715621885
i mean, i kinda see what you're saying but not really. you're going to need to articulate your arguement a bit more, theres no way DS2 characters look worse than the ones in ps3 and 4 games
I dont take pictures of sam in the shower because thats gay as hell, but when he's not in a funny porter suit he looks like a regular guy

>>715622047
I just don't get why they keep reusing the model in OP, he didn't look human the first time and it just gets more detailed while still looking fucking weird

>>715622139
>I just don't get why they keep reusing the model in OP
You don't understand why they used the main character from the first game, as the main character in the second game, a direct sequel that takes place a year after involving a large portion of the original cast.
I had a feeling this entire exchange was based on you being retarded - this will be my last post in the thread.

>>715622261
I just dont get why they used actual people like mads and seydoux but some weird caricature as the protagonist
how is that so difficult for you to understand? It's like having Crash bandicoot inexplicably show up next to actual human actors, it looks weird

>>715622491
You know Norman Reedus is also a person, right? He might be weird looking, but it's true.

>>715620625
This looks like DD2 but worse

>>715622842
>norman reedus
>he's real
jesus christ

Does Kojima play royalty to Guerrilla Game for using their engine?

>>715617741 (OP)
6th gen to 7th gen was the last big jump. every new generation sees smaller improvements. super mario world and super mario sunshine released 11 years apart, it's not possible to see something like this again

>>715617741 (OP)
>Computers have gotten more powerful in 19 years
No fucking shit really? Though they haven't really gotten much better since PS4 because devs are lazy retards who won't optimize anything and outsource to jeets so even though modern hardware is orders of magnitude more powerful the games are just made worse, look bad, have huge textures and file size of 100GB+ and need an SSD to load and 8GB+ VRAM just to not hit 30FPS.
