Graphics

Every Sup Forums was satisfied with something like this 20+ years ago but why keep bitching about current HD graphics.

Because most of current Sup Forums is less than 20 years old.

Because gameplay is being sacrificed for graphics, despite the fact that most games still look like garbage.

MLGS is the greatest.

Half-Life 2 should've been the point where we never make any more additions to model polycounts or texture resolutions and just focus on everything else instead

Lmao is that a test map in the DS2 footage ?

That's just embarrassing.

wtf no thats eleum loyce. a place in DkS2

...

it's called lighting user

I came here to say this. The majority of Sup Forums still think 60 FPS is somehow 'modern'. Mfw I feel old every time I browse Sup Forums. It hurts.

a wall with light on it?

the place doesnt look bad if thats what your implying.

Am I wrong to be bothered by the fact that the room is just a big empty square with 3 textures and a huge fucking door ?

I know there's stuff on the other side but that doesn't excuse this, shit looks like a TF2 orange map.

Most game are just empty squares given to the player to fuck about on.

Anybody have the model rip for this pic? I assume its from Kings Field or whatever.

DS3 MLGS was so fucking shit. I'm still mad.

MGS3's stair climb is literally 4 textures (bottom floor, the climb, upper floor and the stairs themselves) and yet is one of the most aesthetic moment in all vidja. The manpower put onto a model/texture doesn't signify it's graphic value as much art direction and start use is.

Other example are Stalker's underground facilities, outdated by all means but the lighting use is brilliant and lets it be timeless.

I assume you're talking about the ladder. And it's only aesthetic because of the music you sperg.

Hi, Phoenix.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

SHIEEEEET!
Love this user, thanks!

Physically? Physiologically?

Can you still remember? When simple 3D made you smile.

YOU FUCKING WOT? Graphics to me look too damn good. I can't even comprehend it getting any better. In fact it needs to stop because where does it stop if it they don't force it to stop? Are we going to be playing games that look like real life? I actually don't want that.

People like you are the issue with the industry. If you think games today look like garbage then this is why they will only continue to produce graphics above all else. This is what the majority want. They want graphics which is sad. Good gameplay should be priority.

It's not a crime to want to look at nice things.

For me personally, resolution is a bigger deal than graphical fidelity. I wouldn't mind something like OP's image if I can look at it with nice smooth lines without jaggies. Low resolutions with no AA (like most Nintendo games) really hurt my eyes.

colichemarde was cooler

games 20+ years ago had good gameplay to compensate
and that looked good

No you're not wrong. This is one of DS2's biggest crimes. DS1, DS3 and Bloodborne all have plenty (sometimes too many) environmental decoration. DS2 is literally walls with nothing everywhere.

Dark Souls 2 is so fucking hideous.

too much*
fuck

Dark Souls 2 apologists, everyone. Even Demon's Souls looked better than DS2.

Making a new character in DS3. Is it pretty much standard to use CE to get the items you need to have fun? I'm not sure I have it in me to go through most of the game waiting for my build to come online.

Wish that more game developers went through the trouble to make the PS1's mediocre wobbly graphics as gorgeous as Megaman Legends. It hit that sweet spot between consistent style, palette, and innovative camera/tech trickery.

Any other lowres lowpoly games look this good?
