What caused the brown and bloom era?
Was it ripping off a movie or particular game?
It cannot be overstated how EVERYONE was doing this regardless of genre for nearly a decade

Game devs just learned about color grading and they overused it to death. Similar deal with atmospheric scattering today.

Why do non-whites hate this so much?

>>717754083 (OP)
The Iraq war

The same reason why old cgi movies took place at night, yo help the 3d effects better.

Piss yellow and dust help add air particles and detailed textures with low vegetation. Gears of War 1 and 2 are prime examples

same color scheme as the mcdonalds ashtrays in the 90s

>>717754083 (OP)
Twisted idea of realism. Same reason why nowadays games are all dull and washed out looking with perpetual atmospheric haze 100 feet away from the camera.

reminds them of their own shitholes

>>717754083 (OP)
Reminds me of early 2000s anime.

>>717754083 (OP)
...and what is causing the anti-soul gas era right now, OP? Devs have homed in on a trick that seems to pass focus group tests and are turning their brains and eyes off for convenience's sake.

>>717754083 (OP)
anyone notice how as the games got less brown, they got more brown

GRIT, you low testosterone faggots, they were trying to simulate, emulate, whatever you want to call it, a game with GRIT.

>>717757185
NO WAY!

>>717754083 (OP)
Man. Who would have thought we would unironically yearn for the days of based and bloom 360 games with generic white guys with buzz cut.

>>717754083 (OP)
Unreal Engine 3 and others just copied the tech and look.

>>717754083 (OP)
i think part of it is console limitations. side note, i feel like re5 and the first gears really got the aesthetic right

>>717754083 (OP)
all those games? pure gameplay with no sony movie bullshit (besides mgs4)

I blame Dicaprio

game companies did a 360 and wanted their titles to suddenly all be gritty and realistic.
was the beginning of AAA slop

>>717761151
it wasnt really that much of a 360. you had games like doom 3, cod 2, mgs3, pop warriors within etc that came out on the tail end of the 6th gen that fit that description

>>717754083 (OP)
Black Hawk Down + Gulf War/ War in Iraq

An NGO called Tavistock Institute Of Human Relations decides, that's why in a flip of a switch, the piss filter was dropped and replaced in 2015 by the troon filter.
Look up ''Tavistock Institute'' and their influence over media.

focus groups

>>717754236
It's ugly as fuck. It's not more "realistic" either, real life is bright and colorful.

>>717754083 (OP)
The 7th gen consoles were fucking dogshit hardware wise so the color grading was found by designers as a solution for low-res textures and models to pop less

>>717764948
Dogshit? Weren’t they comparable to high end PCs in 2006?

>>717754083 (OP)
this shit makes me nostalgic and some of these genuinely look good with their color grading. i prefer the gritty tone of these 360 era games to most the crap we have now

>>717765328
lmao no
nigga the PS3 had like 256mb vram and the 360 didn't even come with HDMI initially
they were barely more powerful than a low-mid end PC of the time

Devs had to find HUGE compromises to make games work. Battlefield games were like 12v12 on consoles compared to 32v32 on PC

>>717765328
by 2011 you could buy a graphics card for around $250 that had 2gb of vram, while the 360 had 256mb of vram.

>>717765530
Note. The reason why they were able to run games okay-ish at all is because they had MUCH less system overhead compared to 8th gen consoles and computers. nearly the entire hardware was usable for gaming instead of having stuff like a separate RAM pool just for the OS

>>717765328
There was a short time window where the 360 GPU was better than anything on PC but it didn't last long.

>>717765496
the era marked the beginning of the decline of gaming
but at least there were games to play

2010s were when corporations realized that nerds were fucking stupid and spent hundreds on garbage every month, so if they could turn the average normalfag into nerds (i.e. "geeks"), they could rake in billions.

>>717754083 (OP)
i miss this kino

>>717756437
Last Exile is on there more than once.

>>717754083 (OP)
It made the graphics look "better"

>>717754083 (OP)
>modern games are so le sovless... bring back aesthetics!
>n-no-NOT LIKE THAT I HATE TINT AND PISSFILTERS, GOOD RIDDANCE!

>>717754083 (OP)
Black Hawk Down, 300

>>717754083 (OP)
God I hate the brown and bloom filter

>>717754083 (OP)
What are some 6th gen examples of early browning?
Just compare Leon's RPD outfit from 4 with his model in 2. FFXII also is kinda brown.
I think both games look good btw

>>717754083 (OP)
>Was it ripping off a movie or particular game?
CoD was the most popular game at the time so everyone copied it. Same with Fortnite and everyone copying its artstyle

>>717765328
They were, Port Cuck were absolutely ass mad about it too. It's also the reason why their toasters could run almost every ports for over decade and why they started crying when console hardware got slightly more powerful and bluray disk become the norm.

>>717754236
I think it's a fair thing to hate and dislike, when there is a bunch of games that look the same it can be definitely offputting. I don't mind it personally but one thing I hate is the anti soul gas silent hill style in EVERYTHING.

>>717754565
based and second hand smokepilled

>>717754236
it literally makes games look like they've been smeared in dirt and shit, i think only browns love it

>>717754083 (OP)
>Game take place in a shithole
>colors are washed out to make it depressing (but still has more contrast than modern games)
There's no problem with that, the real problem was shit like Deus Ex

>>717773109
You don't like being a purifying force in the deepest of depths?
