Thread 722958303

Can someone explain to me why despite an increase in performance of literally millions from ps1 to ps5 why the games are still the same fucking games as before?

I assumed that as tech improved that youd have the games get way more complex. Water physics, complex soil generations like being able to make a moat around your castle etc. but instead a resident evil game from 2000s and now is basically the same in terms of what it can do with the world.

incompetance from devs. devs used to be passionate white gamers. now its girls who were artists and went to school for game development and its just a job for them. they wont spend 14 h a day coding water physics for fun to make the best game possible but will do the bare minimum imaginable before going home to binge watch netflix

>>722958303 (OP)
costs too much, devtime would take too long. think of the shareholders bro. they need their margins.

when i was young and i played bioshock and i saw the physics like shooting an aquarium made the water flow out was so cool. but the tables with plates was static. i assumed by bioshock 4 youd be able to pick up all the plates, maybe set the whole room on fire to kill everyone in it. pick up the plates and throw them as frisbies at the enemies to stun them. i thought id be able to throw a grenade and destroy all of rapture by blowing it all up one piece at a time.. instead its still static hallways like in 2007

left looks better

>>722958805
id rather all games look like on left but have super complex systems

>>722958303 (OP)
games could have gone two directions
1- realism in visuals
2 - more complex interactions
they went the 1st way because it sold more. the writing was on the wall when FF7 became a hit due to cinematics.

>>722958303 (OP)
Because all of that stuff is pointless shit that usually just destroys and drags dfwn game performance/the actual game part of the game.

all the budget goes into the HYPER REALISTIC GRAFFIX WORLDS FIRST AAAAAAAAAAAA GAME SAAR and marketing, not gameplay and innovation. shareholders and publishers also desperately want gaming to be super serious business like Hollywood cinema so they all shit out pretentious movie slop and pay shitloads to scan and mocap famous actors gamers don't care about

>>722958972
why not both?

kind of off topic, but we all agree Hades 2 was a letdown right?

>>722958983
this

people want games not simulators

>>722958303 (OP)
god I hate realistic foliage in games

>hear all the plates and shit shatter on the floor
>enemy shoots at you
>holes made in wood table
>forces you to run behind a new cover
>pick up pipe
>throw it at zombie
>pierces zombies head
>go cut off zombies arm
>use arm as a baseball bat
>oil spills on floor
>throw a lighter on floor / oil
>room burns with zombies in it

what couldve been....

Left isn't a PS1 game. It's Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb for the PS2. Did you intentionally mistype it in order to generate engagement for your 4chan stories youtube channel?

i grabbed a random image from google when i searched "before after video games":

Bethesda has been making open world games for the past 35 years and the newest Starfield update was the first time they added a drivable vehicle. Just for reference, XRE Cars was made for New Vegas in 2013.

People really make the strangest posts on this site

>>722959373
At least research the games next time. You have all the time in the world to bake a good thread.
>>722959367
What in the fuck does that even mean

Since we're sharing.

>play a game like The Darkness 4
>find shovel
>start digging a hole in backyard
>dig a huge bunker
>start filling it with objects in game
>never play the story just live inside bunker in a game not designed as that being the priority

>>722959585
no`

>>722959670
Fair enough

>Be AAA
>you get 3 months to make a game they released a trailer for two weeks before they told you your team was doing it.

>Be lone indieman
>basically only has time for pixelshit in godot and game maker because despite having no set timeline you have to balance the work with your day job and family life

>be small indie studio
>you get a year or two to finish a project
>only viable engine is unrealshit
>game wont fucking run if you dont spend 5 years optimizing it.

you are literally braindead and a puppet of the state

>>722958386
Are you literally 20 years old or have you forgotten the hundreds of times devs were given enough time and money to focus on the tech and fhen the game flopped or didnt sell the unreasonable 7 million set out by the publisher?

Youve never heard of Hydrophobia in your life shut the fuck up you dumb bitch

Diminishing returns

These successful companies are full of oldheads who are afraid to take risks, innovate and not capable of creativity

The only way they would greenlight a project is if it has made money before. Which is why everything on this planet is fucking stale as shit

fuck you faggot

its amazing how much stagnantion we are in rn. its kinda gay af.
if anything the fact that pic related has to be moded into win 11 is INSANE were not just stagnating were actively regressing

>>722960702
We have voxel based destruction now but every single time a dev uses it they have to just make it a puzzle game because real videogames are too hard to make after you just spent 3 years developing the basic systems

I heard GTA6 has the city send workers to pretend to be clearing up your destruction but we really should be at major dismantling now instead of smoke and mirrors following explosion decals and knocked over lights

>>722964120
think battlefield 3 came out in 2008? with the destructible buildings? i remeber saying it can only get more complex from here yet here we are games like avowed have ZERO interaction. literally the opposite of old games that at least ghad SOME interaction with environment

>>722964028
Shut up you stupid cunt and stop jerking off to single elements of games and fantasizing that they make perfect godlike videogames automatically. Just like i said, your retarded ugly cunt mind doesnt have any idea what its talking about.

>why dont we have good water
>It must be because of women
>let me look up this game where they focused on water before women
>what do you mean the game about good water wasnt partocularly interesting????

Absolute fucking mongoloid

>>722964182
Its worse, like i said, weve had Red Faction and even Teardown but it takes so long to make these detailed systems that the devs have no choice but to make the entire game bout them instead of making a generic game where they make the norml gameplay better.

If things actually burned down fully in RDR2 and the alredy in place construction facade rebuilt it in time the perception of T E C H N O L O G Y would be through the roof but even rockstar has its limits

>>722958890
Retard.
