Thread 717631009

Are modern game graphics overly busy? How do you feel about realism and extra detail. I think the first time i really noticed this was battlefield 4 on xbone
>of course there are better examples but this is a direct comparison

both look good

>>717631089
Demake objectively looks more generic albeit. sovl/sovlless

>>717631089
>>717631339
both look bad and generic for their era

>every game needs yellow paint now

>>717631339
original objectively looks dull and flat

>>717631009 (OP)
I like clean aesthetics. Too much visual noise puts me off.

name of the game?

>>717631686
dead or alive 4

>>717631657

way of the samurai 4

kek, try comparing the real version next time

>>717631009 (OP)
>Are modern game graphics overly busy?
yes
>How do you feel about realism
it's not realism it's just shitty lighting and texturing, crysis 1 is more realistic than crysis 3

its a one step forward, one back kinda remake imo. ryu/backgrorund lights in this image look better but the cherry blossoms are worse

ninja gaiden 2 newfriend

>>717631793
someone needs to come up with a shader that can simulate viewing at a distance because this looks so fucking bad
in real life things far away blend together, you arent supposed to see the light reflecting off of every leaf when you're a half kilometer away

>>717632178
it's called depth of field anon

>>717632051
glad to know im not the only one who preferred how the first game looks

>>717633468
I would be very shocked if there were many who would disagree with you there
crysis 3 has some technical improvements but it basically looks like shit.

holy retard

>>717631009 (OP)
that piece of smegma on the left is not "original", kys

>>717634880
Why they take away the cool lighting and cityscape?

>>717634764
boob physics were nerfed too

why did ng2 look so bad? it ran at 30 fps too

>>717634984
The lighting is changed here too, it's different time of day now.

>left one looks like a video game
>right one looks like a tech demo/prerendered cutscene
Being a 90's kid starting with Duke Nukem 2 and Dune 2, having been amazed by PS1 graphics and totally blown away by Far Cry, Morrowind and Half Life 2, I really think we've come far enough to start focusing on optimization, gameplay and features instead of graphics.

If we had Dwarf Fortress depth and AAA graphics, we'd be in the endgame of videogames.

I found out with DMCV that prettier and more detailed graphics take away from my concentration and reaction time.
I never finished Ninja Gaiden games because they're straight up bullshit at times and I can't imagine myself finishing them when my consciousness turns my perception into estimations with all the vivid 2D imagery going on.

>>717635275
nudevs dont know how to use anything besides nanite lumen so good luck with that

>>717631009 (OP)
Graphics and world design should be in service of gameplay.

>>717631657
DXHR was the first game where I've ever thought to myself "there's too much shit everywhere". They added those yellow outlines to items for a reason, the clutter was way too much

>>717635615
this kills the demake/sigma pleb

>>717635510
DMCV looks worse than 4 does. That game is ugly as hell.

why don't games look good anymore?

>>717637035
we live in a soulless era
things won't improve for like 10 years at least

>>717637035
competency crisis

>>717635846
What does? Take your meds, retard. Why are you so insanely mentally ill?

>>717631009 (OP)
Yes, that's why yellow, paint, glowing objects and button prompts exist
Realism and too much detail is unironically shit

>>717635615
based, I almost threw up when I saw the way that level looks in the demake

>>717632162
One on the right is Sigma 2, not original.

>>717634984
>brown water

The worst part is the animations, now every attack has a garish red slash hit confirm. NG games always had a silly and almost childish art direction but it looked great because its action was incredibly stylish without shitting out particle effects every other second. NG2B is a typical unreal remake downgrade.

>"nuh uh bro"

>>717637035
They have linear thinking where they are stuck with "moar = better" paradigm

>>717632162
What were people smoking back then to think that all that bloom was a good idea?

>>717639210
High off that okami pack

>>717637035
"generated" vs. "made"

>>717635615
what does this look like in the remake?

>>717631009 (OP)
>Are modern game graphics overly busy?
YES it takes so much cognitive work just to visually parse a scene
all this extra shit that doesn't affect gameplay

it's ok to think games are too busy but you need to experience them in 4k before you can make that judgement.

>>717631009 (OP)
Because its a remastered of a old game instead of a complete remake like re4remake
Imagine ng2 with hyper realistic graphics and gore similar to dead island 2

Call me a dumbass boomer but pixel art will always be superior because too much detail just makes your eyes glaze over. Oh wow look at all these hyper realistic waterfalls and rock formations, never mind that the human eye can only focus on like three objects at once and just fills in the rest.

>>717631339
apart from the character the original looks pretty generic as well

>>717641284

>Are modern game graphics overly busy?
yep

>>717631552
This
Tn can't make iconic character design and their games are so generic meanwhile sekino's character design are so iconic and will be remembered as one if the best action game ever made

>>717631657
This game plays like shit

>>717641284
ive read they complained about the same visual clutter concept back then, "pixel hunting" or something

>>717641518
sekiro also has generic modern graphics and artstyle

>>717639072
>>717632178
leave your houses sometimes its not normal to get a panic attack when you see a lot of trees
