Why haven't graphics progressed much?

this game runs at 20fps and the textures are often ps2 tier

Graphics have progressed a lot, but now it's not too noticeable.
I wouldn't use MGS4 as a point of comparison though.
We already reached a point where some games look like real life, but those results aren't easy to get.
I've noticed a lot of graphical improvement now is about the accuracy of lighting.
so I think in the future graphical development will focus on optimization.
Connor Scott
This game was ugly as fuck. Not technology wise, but it had an eyesore art style/aesthetic. Everything was brown, bloom, grim but not even in an interesting way, just in that boring grimdark style that plagued that era of the 2000s.
Parker Fisher
Pretty much. Also a lot of the animations had a very stiff feel to them, that was acceptable in the ps2 but the way this game handles cover mechanics is laughably outdated even on it's release date.
Jaxon Myers
it was fine on release because it was called "metal gear solid 4" and was going to finally save you from feeling like you wasted your money. the best game the ps3 had at the time was uncharted 1 and it was alright but kind of jank. uncharted 2 was way more polished. i don't remember what year that came out. 2009 probably.
Camden Adams
Because you are blind and tasteless. Any game made past 2015 looks better by default, we have seen numerous technological leaps since then.
Jacob Robinson
MGS4 looked like dog shit compared to Crysis and that game came in 2007.
Isaac Rivera
Technically they make bigger and bigger and bigger worlds which is progress, but they don't look good.
Juan Young
i'm thankful every day to be past the brown n' bloom era
Brandon Sanders
The game looks like shit today
Kevin Rogers
crysis didn't really run on anything at the time. you needed like sli 8800 gtx which were $600 each.
Daniel Lee
Crysis was impossible to run at max settings when it came out. There was no gpu capable of running max settings.
Nathan Gomez
0/10
Robert Bell
This thread is full of poorly thought out posts. Have you faggots even played the game?
Tyler Carter
i was running it on ultra using 8800gt
in 1024x768
and with hacks that enable dx10 effects in dx9
it looked glorious anyway
Austin Bennett
Yeah i have, dipshit, it's the reason i bought a ps3. The game looks extremely dated today with its poor textures, non-PBR lighting, flat non-dynamic lighting, stiff animations, low shawdow quality, etc. It's not a bad thing, retard, the game is ancient.
Ian Lopez
Go fire it up right now. MGS4 looks better than 5.
Thomas Walker
Just a series of norms. That's all they were.
Gabriel Smith
You need to get your eyes checked. The photorealistic object based lighting and reflections in mgs5 make it look 100x better than 4
Joshua Brown
Graphical fidelity simply peaked. Everything since has been about smoothing the edges rather than integrating the increased performances back into the gameplay itself.
Thomas Martinez
Such a retarded example. More polygons doesn't mean more visual definition, he's basically saying the opposite.
A ball is only ever a ball when you really need it to be.
Aiden Gonzalez
I think it was after or around MG4 when I knew things would never get better.
I wish I was young again.
Juan Hughes
Buzzwords: the post
MGSV was downgraded, it doesn't use the fancy lighting that was advertised. MGS4 on the other hand was carefully crafted to many every area look how it does, it's far more consistent and looks good. There is a difference in resolution but if you play MGS5 on PS3 it will look a lot worse.
Also reflections? Really? There are some fucking puddles, pretty sure only GZ had them too.
Daniel Price
I dont care what anyone says. I still liked this game. MGO2 was awesome. You can still play it tho ya need an old copy of the game pre trophy patch.
Andrew Thompson
too right, 7th gen will be right behind 5th gen in terms of games that age terribly.
Jackson Johnson
>this game is now older than MGS1 was during the release of MGS4
Asher Fisher
Why are you wasting time lying about how MGS4 looks good? Don't you have anything better to do
Caleb Allen
a rerelase with everything as is would be fine with me.
Ryder Ortiz
I'm not, I took a good look at it after I played 5 because of how disappointed I was in the visuals.
Jason Young
Holy shit. Time flies when you get old
Gavin Ross
>MGS5 came out in 2015
Landon Rogers
I've always wondered this.
Nowadays, games pay 0 attention to shit like NPC, unless they're major characters.
Games like The witcher 3, Deus ex and dishonored all have absolutely shitty looking NPCs, like miles away from the rest of the game. Every single enemy soldier in MGS4 was incredibly detailed
Pic related is an NPC from deus ex mankind divided, a 2016 game
Christian Gomez
>game
you mean movie
Logan Hill
>Games like The witcher 3
>have absolutely shitty looking NPCs
Wwhat the fuck are you talkinga bout?
>Every single enemy soldier in MGS4 was incredibly detailed
They all wore masks.
Andrew Johnson
Why compare open world games and MGS4?
Isaiah Moore
>mgs4's npcs were incredibly detailed
You couldn't even see their faces, moron
Jacob Russell
That's not a random NPC, why don't you show how random npcs look like. There's also like a grand total of 10 models per sex.
and some mercenaries didn't wear masks
Deus ex is hardly open world
Ryan Lee
>That's not a random NPC,
Yes it is.
>640x400
Ah I see, you're playing on PS4 Pro.
Levi Rodriguez
Also I'd really like to see your collection of random MGS4 faces.
Nolan Bell
even with their faces obscured, the entire model has more detail (and also better animations) than the npcs from those games
Brayden Edwards
>facial hair and hair is literally floating over the character's head.
lmao yes, good example m8
Lincoln Allen
Africa was a mistake. At least Afghanistan had a reason to be barren, its a fucking desert.
Owen Turner
MGS4 remaster when?
Chase Nelson
>Crysis is 12 years old
I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD
Christopher Barnes
You're a funny guy.
Kayden Wood
>haha his hair sits on his head lol
Wow... just like real life
Andrew Bailey
my hair doesn't floats on top of my head, it has a base there in my scalp.
The hair in the models of the witcher 3 has a visible vacuum between hair and scalp
Nathaniel Flores
mgs4 is dogshit
Jace Perez
If you say so.
Justin Stewart
no you didn't
tomshardware.co.uk
an average of 23 fps is not running the game, that's practically unplayable
Carson Martin
Yes he probably was.
1. at a low resolution
2. likely at a low frame rate
we weren't so autistic back then, no one was talking about frames much.
Landon Mitchell
The middle one unironically has the most soul
