Anonymous No.719140843
>>719136759
presumably the version on the right uses deferred rendering, which means a scene with lots of transparencies is a performance trap. that'd be why the fog clouds got removed, or perhaps they just looked like fuzzy shit in the new engine.
the raindrops on the right are fully opaque as a result, which is why they decided to hugely crank down the volume because it was restricting visiblity and looked ridiculous, like in the infamous GTA remaster.
I'm not sure how to make nice transparent sheets of rain in UE5, but I'm not a dev hired to remaster it. I think a lot of modern games use a screen-space masking effect on the raindrops to make them look like they're refracting light instead of being solid white.

The rain is objectively worse on the right.

The color choices on the left weren't an accident, they made those with intent.

The lightning flash on the right is better.

The rain water running down the metal on the right is interesting, but the building looks entirely different. The building on the left just seems better and more in tune with the feel of the scene.

The ground on the right is more realistic, but the placement of the grass makes it look like a cardboard cuttout.

The ground on the left is worse.

The lightning quality on the right is objectively better, but the feel of the lighting on the left is more accurate to the tone and intent.

Something about the character model on the left feels better.

I think the right looks Technically better, except for the rain.

I think the left looks artistically better, and the rain is just straight superior.

it's not as overly shiny for no damn reason it feels more real. You wouldn't want to make your armor with glossy and shiny metal to give yourself attention

This is equivalent to taking a renaissance painting and running it through AI to make it look like CGI.

devs back then based the games on real life experiences and had to actually learn how to code and produce art
devs now are basing their games on the games they played, have a ton of tooling that works for them, and have no need to produce art, they are jobbies
