>2017
>games still dont look this good

That's not graphically impressive at all unless you're a consoletard.

That's just promotional art

>No game has been able to capture the look of late 90's/early 2000's cgi cutscenes

Great looking to be sure

>bumpmap over normals
>no AO
>no realtime reflections

Modded no-budget porn games look better than that at this point.

>pre-release King of Fighters XIV

there's just a lot of polygons

no shit, the point is that games dont look as good as promotion art from the 90s

how is that impressive?

looks like a cheaply made unity game

Haven't really kept up with graphical effects in games the past few years but is ray tracing a thing now?
Or not yet?

Yes it has. You just arent willng to play it

Game has none of the modern effects to simulte lighting and also has mediocre textures.

Polyvcount and reflections are stupid since its a pre-rendered scene but thats it.

So do you mean
>2017
>still cant render perfectly round marios


Also Wii already had a decent mario. Fucking Wii.

Cant wait to emulate odyssey in 5 years at 4k and see the true power of next gen.

we might get to this level in about 10 years. right now games lack these polygons and shaders

Why does that image look so bad?
Ive seen it better before I swear.

bad rip probbaly
heres a better one,. notice how each rivet is fully modeled

It has polycount and thats it.

Textures are meh and the lighting is subpar compared to modern effects.

Notice how their hands are awful.

That's some really shitty looking fire.

Mario looks nice but everything else looks bad

What I really want to know is when will games have the animation quality of today's CGI films. It took CGI a while to finally be able to replicate the flexibility and fluidity of good hand-drawn animation, but it's more or less got it down now. Games however still move like marionettes.

the lighting is far better than any modern game, you clearly have no idea who you're talking to,. I studied game design in college

WOOOAAAOAOOAAHH SCREEN SPACE REFLECTIONS SO TECHNAWLUDGEE WOOOOOW XDD

Neck yourself.

When people understand that a consistent, interesting and clear style is more important than realism that will look absurd in 10 years.

Never because it takes way too long to render anything at that quality. It took Pixar on average 11 hours to render a single frame in cars 2. And they had access to a render farm

have you ever looked at yourself and realized what a bitter person you are?
what the fuck are you even doing here?
