Why do pre HD era games have a SOUL but modern games don't?

Gta san andreas

You came outta someone's penis, and it lead you here; a peerless faggot.

because they let you stay in the past

quite the mouthful

actually it stands for grand theft auto: San andreas

Because you're closer to 30 every day and you still haven't integrated your mortality yet.

now thats just ridiculous

doubt that sold well

>Camera angles (makes the world seem bigger)
>Smaller draw distance with lots of fog (makes the world seem mysterious)
>MUCH clearer in general, less clutter because of weaker systems
>Lots of limitations forcing devs to make less mechanics and shit and use them in more situations instead of leaving a bunch of useless shit no one cares just because MUH CONTENT like today's games
>Smaller budgets/teams so more passionable people working there

art style>trying for photo realism

Eat a apple.
Tone down on that philosophical shit.

Well, the next one was simply GTA IV. You might be onto something.

Are you applying that to San Andreas, making a general statement, or both?

Because San Andreas was pretty much trying to achieve realism as logistically possibly. There's no unquie art style to speak of.

fuck you
i hate you scumbag

Catering to more means watering down and polishing any sharp edges that would give an experience "soul". Also, DLC and microtransactions.

I lost my virginity before San Andreas came out
People here say "game you played as a kid" or were even born after it
FUCK

fuck you too

Fog. It really is just the fog. Limited draw distance made just about every game require it, which made the games seem more soulful and mysterious, and your brain filled in what the game was missing. This is why even remakes that retain most of the modelling and such still feel soulless, they never leave the fog in. Worst offender has to be Silent Hill.

So what if we downgrade a modern game?

>Because San Andreas was pretty much trying to achieve realism as logistically possibly
Yes but becuase of constraints had to use artstyle to hide it's failings
Most games have strived for realism

real mature
asshole

I don't think that HD and graphics technology has to do anything with it. It's all about art direction.

i love bloodlines' visual direction

Well, that's what you would think.
Because you're obviously an idiot.

I hate you idiots, posting your illogical shit all over this board...

Are you accusing me of confirmation bias? Well I might be guilty.

because those games were actually good, modern games aren't

Post more aesthetic games

More effort. Nowadays it’s all graphics and getting the most money out of it.

>bixnoods on welfare
im sure such niggers buy their games instead of pirate them, yeah, that makes a lot of sense - NOT.

>a apple

Devs have to spend 99.99999% of development and budget making new games look 0.0001% better than all the other new games and then just throw gameplay in as an afterthought

Because this is how your brain works:

BAD GRAPHICS - SOUL
GOOD GRAPHICS - SOULLESS

I'm actually getting further away from 30 every day.

Soul.

Ah thanks. I like games where most everything looks outdated except for one aspect. Example would be far cry with the water and the one from your pic
