Post good oatmeal graphics, recommend games with oatmeal graphics

what the fuck are oatmeal graphics?

>>717845618 (OP)
it pissed me off how the HL1 anniversary update had bilinear texture filtering enabled. the game looks SO much better without it

i enjoy the modern renewed appreciation for oatmeal
just wish more of them were actually good too

>>717845776
Are you kidding me? All those years later this is a feature not even the original devs could implement, a legendary challenged foretold by past spaghetti wranglers, and it has finally been done: They managed to implement "Gordon taking off his glasses" mode

>>717845680
it's a feeling

So, shitty games you would get from a cereal box?

>top screenshot is ran through an AI filter
what the fuck is wrong with the retard who made this image

>>717846329
>he doesn't understand oatmeal

>>717846353
no it isn't?

>>717846329
Cereal box games included Freelancer, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and Treasure Cove

>>717846353
>ran through an AI filter
the hell do you mean?

>>717846392
It is, look at the texture of the healing station. you can see that it used to be a jpg image with artifacts and then an AI filter tried to remove those, which resulted in weird uneven nonsquare pixels

>>717846523
eh, i've seen that happen in games, it might just be a result of the texture being stretched weird on the model, plus being viewed in a 3d environment

>>717846392
>>717846438
Left = AI filter
Right = How it would actually look in the game

>>717846523
thats what it looks like ingame, you have schizophrenia

>>717846523
Ackshully this a result of how some objects were textured in Half-Life. 3D accelerators at the time could only store square textures, that object and several others in HL were made with rectangular textures to match the object dimensions. When played in software rendering you can see the original texture without the distortion of rescaling it to a square before stretching it back out.

>>717846794
someone hop on half life right now and check this

>>717846820
>>717846992
it's not what it looks like in the game because I posted the actual game version above. it is an AI upscale of a 640*480 screenshot that was used

>>717846353
its a console command that disables texture filtering you fucking idiot. You can do it in all gold source/source games

>>717846794
I can't tell the difference honestly

>every thread on /v/ somehow has a schizophrenic person who derails the topic with some insanity
the asylums genuinely need to come back and let's start locking them up

>>717847225
That comparison image predates AI imaging. This is what the bi-linear and nearest neighbor texture options look like on a Voodoo 2.

Who the fuck let you normalfags off your containment app? Go back to watching 60 second mindrotting clips and Family Guy funny moments compilations, the real human beings are having a discussion

da CIA is using AI image filtering to make me lose arguments online
give me attention NOW!

Anyone notice threads about old games have a lot more mental illness? Zoomer game threads are normal, it's the ones with millennials that have obvious signs of brain diseases. I guess it makes sense that old people have rotting/decaying brains

>>717848141
just go back to taking your meds, will ya?

>the 'red lights' are actually ampules filled with healthy blood. The machine gives blood infusions.
Also implies the actual equipment is just a mounted mobile health pack sitting in an enclosure that can be taken out; same as the kind you pick up.
She did a good job hand painting that texture. Thanks, Karen.

steel cut oats

just ignore the underages and normiecattle, they don't even like games it's no wonder they can only shit up threads and get spooked when they see human interaction, attention is their cracke cockaine

i do notice new games, especially horror ones, lean more into this aesthetic and i'm really glas it's the case, but i worry it's just gonna be another performative superficial trend used by people who don't get it on games that suck and is then forgotten

i liked pic rel though it was neat, not full blown oatmeal but it has a crunchy oatyness to it

The granddaddy

>>717848870
not oatmaeal

>>717845776
gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST

>>717848961
it's served cold

>>717848962
nah the filter looks better

>>717849074
I agree.

>>717849201
do you think you could fuck a vortigaunt?

>>717849262
Their middle arm was made for handjobs.

>>717847363
It's not even only console command, now it's an option in the video menu.
This anon >>717845776 is right, it should be enabled by default. bilinear filtering looks like shit at high resolutions, it was fine back when we were playing at 640x480.

>>717849974
>it was fine back when we were playing at 640x480.
i think it looked even worse then, logically it should look worse at lower rez
the real reason it was enabled back then was because texture filtering was a big meme graphical feature (like RTX is today)

>>717850087
I agree, but it looked "better" because we were moving away from "ugly pixels" into "smooth curved goodness", everything is contextual.

Play Devil Daggers.

>>717850663
Then play Hyper Demon

>>717850663
Looks cool

>oatmeal
I love how zoomers use dumbshit slang words they heard some retard streamer say and expect people to understand wtf they are on about

>>717851552
I don't watch streams, am not a zoomer and I understand perfectly what OP means

>>717851552
you literally just used the word "zoomer"

also it's not a streamer term i've been using it on the web for years you actual child
nevermind stones in glass houses next time i'll straight up stone YOU if you start acting out sonny

>oatmeal visuals were a thing back in 2000
>now we have super computer power
>imagine what AAA games would be like with oatmeal visuals and everything else in physics
instead they use that power for boring photorealism

>Oatmeal is absolutely beautiful
>Actual gameplay is soggy
I was so disappointed, the space setting is nothing but a backdrop
The way this was advertised to me I expected a sci-fi adventure, not a soap opera

>>717852394
AAA games would naturally do what appeals to normalfags

>>717853768
Wtf are you actually talking about you buzzword spewing robot?

>>717845618 (OP)
How about some oatmeal songs?

>>717845618 (OP)
So is the System Shock remake technically oatmeal?

>>717856112
no? in what way is this oatmeal?

>>717856303
The textures are simulating the pixely nearest neighbor look of older games.

>>717856435
i see, it's only really visible up close and is not done strongly enough to be proper oatmeal, and it has none of the other aspects
it's barely oaty

>>717845618 (OP)
>oatmeal graphics
how fat are you, OP? I've never seen anyone describe texture filtering using food analogies.

>>717860860
> food analogies
why are disingenuous social media addicts so upset about these (relatively) recently?

i mean i'm not even gonna get into how things have always been described using terms for things in the world around us, food being one of the more commonly understood primal concepts we humans know of, so of course it comes up most often
i just wanna know why it tiggers so many people

>>717856435
that looks really good, is this really an in game screenshot?

>>717848870
Nah this is french toast

>>717845618 (OP)
I think I get it. Do you mean the way the splotchy textures look like oatmeal? I remember thinking that playing HL1 as a kid

>>717862050
I think it's from an earlier unreleased incarnation made in Unity before they restarted development in Unreal

>>717862348
thx for the link, it looks really good

System Shock 2 is peak oatmeal. Even the recent remaster keeps things sufficiently oatmeal.

>>717846794
It's not an "AI Filter," it's a non power of two texture getting forced into a power of two resolution by the engine, this happened in OpenGL prior to the anniversary update.

>>717862803
Not oatmeal

>>717862803
sorry dude this is not otmeal, the graphics are nice but it's not it

>>717845776
It looks like shit either way and you don't even realize it. The real problem is how the hardware renderer upscales all texture sizes to the nearest power of 2. The problem is Valve used all sorts of nonstandard texture sizes, so shit still gets stretched even if you have filtering disabled, and even if the original size is made to fit the brushwork. Like see how shitty the First Aid text looks there, even with filtering off? It isn't supposed to look like that.

>>717862803
The original is more oaty but they stripped away a lot of the oatmeal with the remaster it seems

>>717847850
you should kill yourself before you ruin vidya further

>>717846794
even still, top looks better than bottom

>>717850663
I'm too casual for that shit.

>oatmeal
Of course americans are trying to force another food related term

>>717863847
God you are so fucking retarded that it's retarded
