Have graphics gone too far?

Have graphics gone too far?

The next console generation can't come soon enough because then we will finally have photorealistic graphics.

>grafix gone too far
nigga you do realize grafix LITERALLY are pictures of things (in this case, someone literally just went outside and took a high res pic of a tree) and they just make it blurry/low res for consoles?

Yeah this is some low res shit, thanks consoles

t. 1080p shitters

How's 1080p treating you PC peasants?

I've been playing in 4k since consoles were still stuck in 720p, kiddos. And now I play in 4k at 60 fps when consoles are stuck in """4k""" (1800p upscaled) at 24fps. Top kek.

Who cares, still waiting for that voxel rendering engine instead.

Its called photogammetry.

I'm not 25, am i allowed to post here anyway?

no, it's called photogrammotry

Uh it's literally photogrammecy

heh

Pretty sure it's photogammary

>caring about console generations when they switched to x86/amd64 already and are just a locked PC

sure lmao

how is it all of you are wrong
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry

>trusting wikipedia
brainlet

the hardware is still the same so well only get better graphics than what we have now when we get new consoles.

Uhh

No you don't.

Prove it

>The next console generation can't come soon enough because then we will finally have photorealistic graphics.
Oh boy, I've never heard THIS line before

everyone can write shit in wikipedia

lootboxes will solve that problem and work for that ultra hyper realistic graphics you gaymers are keen to get

you gaymers cant have a consensus

Why do some people care heavily about graphics? I mean, yeah they make poop look good and shit but there are some folks who care about it so much that they'd drop gameplay as the main focus and calling a game shit if they don't like what they see (even though in reality it's not bad) even if they haven't played the game.

Unless the graphics are so bad that it affects gameplay, why invest on it heavily?

>took a picture of a tree
Actually no one does this. You don't use real world images as the stock texture. As real world images have shadows cast in the image. Shadows on the image actually fuck up bump mapping and other techniques in the software.

So what happens is someone takes a picture and then its recreated by hand in the without shadows being present in the image.

The only place you will find pictures being used instead of recreated works is in shitty mods for games like Skyrim.

its nice to look at

>anime poster knows nothing about game development
surprising no one

>Shitty DoF
>graphics gone too far
>photorealistic graphics on console
user, please...

>he honestly believes in Photogrammetry
Hope you like shadows that face your light source.

You're probably right

also this

There are millions of ways to get rid of hard shadows kid

Yeah, prove you play at 4k.

>using terminology he doesn't understand

>we will finally have photorealistic graphics.
I can't wait. The sooner we get there, the sooner retards will stop caring about graphics and we'll get games with nice art styles once again.

Just so you know, in photos data is not stored in places that are very dark or very bright. So you can't actually just adjust things to get them to appear or go away.

they have to be recreated. Most of the time by hand to get the little details to look correct.

>in photos data is not stored in places that are very dark or very bright
No shit, that's why you use lighting equipment. Nothing has to be recreated if you captured it properly.

>he thinks something that requires no artistic skill as as good as real artistic textures
Let me guess, you also like skrillex.

the dof is there to highlight the object you fucking retard

>he thinks some artsy fartsy stylization is better than nature itself
Let me guess, you're a nintendo fan

>he only want to experience nature through a digital display
checkmate flatworlder

>he'd rather experience games with some numale vision of nature instead of G-d's true nature
what now atheists

Photorealism can already be achieved on some things in games.

Its the only way some people think games can be taken seriously. Remember when "brown and bloom" was the hot thing because it made games look more "gritty" and "realistic"?

This shitty board is infested with shills, you literally can't do nothing because janies are all paid and there isn't no other place to discuss vidya while shitposting so we are all fucked.

>games start using graphics and art style as gimmicky sales pitches instead of gameplay
Hmmmmmmmmmm

Framerate > Physics/interactivity > Aesthetics > Fidelity

"my console can barley do 4k there is no way a pc can do 4k!"
bitch the pc was gaming at way above HD resolutions for ages. Probably longer than you've been alive. Don't be a fucking retard.

>why do people care about visuals in visual media?

Meh

test

It doesn't matter because there is still a long ass way to go:

1) They might have realistic textures, but video game characters look nothing like real life and nobody will confuse a 2017 video game of actually being a movie. You can trick people with screenshots or short scenes that look good, but not with a couple minutes of gameplay, because video games are still animated like shit. This is largely to do with the limitations of video games themselves though like needing tight controls and such. But they never look like real people talking either.
2) The best looking games still crash, still have glitches, still cock up their frame rates all the time, and so on. Pretty much everybody who plays current gen video games has had plenty of technical problems related to graphics, so until you can run photorealistic games on a shitty toaster, there is still much room to grow there as well.

If you could read this thread you made in year 2050 you would probably have a hearty chuckle at yourself for believing current video games are anywhere near the pinnacle of vidya graphics.

I just want better physics in games. I don't care how sharp textures are nor do I care how many polygons you use if everything is still just clipping together and moving in stiff, unrealistic manners. Hell, I'd gladly go back to Sixth Console Generation graphics if it meant a stable 60 or 120 FPS and a robust physics engine.

>that
>photorealistic

uhhhmm

>but video game characters look nothing like real life

There's more to visuals than just hi rez graphix.

thanks for proving my point, his face looks like a plastic cartoon compared to a photo of a real person

Just some things as i said.

Wasn't Drake a jawlet, what the fuck happened? Is he still short?

>you must guess if this is a picture of a real person's face
>whoa dude, I really can't tell if it's fake or not
t. nobody ever

yeah i guess that fog that hides everything is pretty photorealistic senpai

you think vidya characters will still look like this in the next gen when consoles have 1070s in them?

kys

>no trump plate
shit

you think they will be indistinguishable from movies?

kys

Photorealistic graphics are the meme killing modern gaming

yeah, ubisoft games would be good if they didn't have grafix

lol

It's why every modern AAA game just looks like the same boring trash over and over

It's just a poor and uncreative basis for the art direction

Video Games have gone from fun little creative titles to Reallife simulations. This is why gaming and the world is doomed. Instead of going out and breathing the fresh air of a forrest some neckbeards are gonna cum buckets over a bunch of polygons.

Why do you want photorealistic graphics? A game with a good artstyle is almost always superior

This.

GTX 1070 only has 5.8tflops of GPU performance on the PC platform.
Even the PS4Pro can reach performance like it (and propably more) when it comes to the first party devs and their optimization.
But it sure as fuck is weaker than the xbox one x already.

Next gen is going to have at least 1080TI in them.

>some neckbeards are gonna cum buckets over a bunch of polygons.

Don't pin this all on neckbeards. Normalsfags jizz just as much over SO REAL graphics.

How AAA games look is the least of their problems

imagine the perfect video game. if there was a game that was perfect in absolutely every way, the Ideal Game, what would it be?

the absolute purest essence of video game would be a game that is exactly like real life, a VR simulation indistinguishable from IRL appearance and physics EXCEPT that it would be in a different world, with different challenges, that would be more attainable than getting a job and shit IRL. something like "game where you are in a clan of rebel lizardfolk of the techno-punk future year 2277, fighting against mega corporations, with cool lizard powers, except you actually have a chance to win. but it feels like you are really there". doesn't have to be fantastical, a different world could just mean a walking sim where you are a teenage girl in boston, but you get what I mean.

so the problem isn't graphics, graphics should in fact try to mimic real life. it's just that technology/design theory are still quite primitive so while we have games that almost look like a real person on a 2D screen, we do not have games that play anything like a real person or the experience we have in real life. actually holding a gun, bayonetting some dude in the face, and having it be interesting through mechanics would feel a lot better than using a controller, but it hasn't been done well yet and won't be for a while. 2D screens aren't really conducive to a realistic experience, so as long as games are mostly 2D, they will always be very "video gamey". and no, I'm not some VR optimist faggot, I literally do not play VR games, just think about this for a second.

i can always change it senpai

Man the fog ruins it all, otherwise would have been beautiful...

>xbox one x is stronger than 1070
>ps pro is as strong as 1070

Weird how come I can play full 4k maxed out graphics and get above 30fps meanwhile both Xbox X and PSPro can't do 4k at all unless the games look like garbage? and the settings the games are running on are standard console settings too..

FPS on PC isn't the same for console. The problem with the consoles is the CPU bottleneck for games with a lot of physics etc.
Regardless. Mate i have a 1070 in my PC and 4k gaming isn't fun.

its just a resolution whats fun about those?

Well I agre. Was a bold statement to just pin this on neckbeards. But remember it from back in the days where those geeky people would jizz all over photorealism.

It isn't smooth at all. It isn't worth it for the clarity.
Doesn't improve the presentation that much.

>grass has no shadows
Just like real life!

Fuck that, we need to focus on physics and gameplay instead of shitting up games with 20 fucking filters. Take any game, remove all those filters and that shit could run on any toaster, it's all fluff with no substance.

Demos on Unreal engine use static light models, plus several cam tricks, you will need a lot more power to move complex scene and human face model still had uncanny valley

I want both photorealistic graphics, and realistic physics and animations. Whats the point of path traced graphics if your character still moves like a wooden dolls and environmental destruction is extremely limited, shitty and scripted.

At least post a good pic if you're going to shitpost.

This is why, botw >>>>>>>>>>> hzd

not him but I play in 4K60, you don't even need dual GPU setups anymore.

I stopped caring about graphics when I became an adult. I'm 29 now and just want my videogames to be fun. I have a powerful PC but also have a ps4 and switch. I think most fags on this board are just poor and can't afford to enjoy all systems and games and are regulated to having a pc they had to save 6 months for or that mommy bought.

>when graphics don’t matter when there aren’t realistic physics engines to accompany them

>Take any game, remove all those filters
But that's really all games are these days. Average graphics covered in layers of filters.

I honestly don't care about how detailed a tree looks, I care more if I can destroy it 10 different ways.

>29

LOL EBIN MAYMAY XD!

>own Citizen Kane DVD
>that makes it okay to own MLP DVD

How do you fags even post 4k screenshots? Mine are 4x the file size limit.

Compress the shit out of them.

>1mb 4k
you overcompressed it nigga

That takes all the fun out of it.
