Are graphics getting worse, Yea Forums?

Crysis 3 and AC Unity ran like shit and Battlefront looks good only in screenshots.

wrong

So why don't you support it? Gravity Rush 2 is a prime example of a game like that not receiving the support it needed. I bought it day one full price, but everyone else waited till it was dirt cheap.

*ahem*
FUCK RECONSTRUCTION
FUCK TAA
FUCK MOTION BLUR
FUCK DEPTH OF FIELD
FUCK UE4
but most importantly
FUCK FILM GRAIN

Great! Now post the gameplay videos.

Not wrong. Also, pic unrelated?

"worse"
You fucking retarded piece of shit.

Only tech-illiterate retards believe graphics are getting worse. Also fun fact: AC Unity was designed for PS5-tier specs and makes full use of realtime global illumination which is why it runs so shitty.

>FUCK DEPTH OF FIELD
what did he mean by this?

>Unity
>Runs shitty
Consoletard spotted.

It's prebaked global illumination with dynamic shadows, however it has some of the best environment textures and use of gi I have ever seen in a game, now that was ahead of its time

I don't want the game telling me what I'm supposed to look at and not

second one looks like Prey, what's the first one?

But he's not wrong 6th had some of the best AA devs around and even big 3rd party companies went out their way to make smaller AA studios to help produce fresh new ideas.

Same game.

don't remember that room, is it from some DLC?

It is the same game as this pic

don't worry we're supporting astral chain ;)

Both are from the game Control.

yes you are wrong
you forgot to turn on contact shadows

Attached: CNTRL61.jpg (3840x1677, 2.91M)

its from Control

I will have to politely disagree. This is the first game i've seen that actually gets eyes correct..
I guess Until Dawn somewhat did it, but the graphics were a little bit worse.

Attached: manofmedanblog-1566419378979.jpg (1920x1080, 123K)

Diminishing returns

You mean yes you are wrong.
And no you can't turn on anything. It just inherently has contact shadows.
Again. Pic unrelated?

Crysis 3 runs brilliantly on my 980 and is only 17GB i think
Meanwhile most AAA shit these days doesn't look half as good and takes nearly 100GB or more

the quality of th direction and the ability to produce an aesthetic or art style are, creativity is often guided by limitation

>gets eyes correct
I hope this guy is supposed to be stoned as fuck with his red eyes.

What went wrong?

shut up faggot ps2 was peak t. 31 year old boomer, everything form 1992 to 2007 was the golden age

Isn't that an IDtech 4 engine game?

why make a good game when you could just pander to sjw's?

Eyes will be red like that when people are tired, dealing with allergies, etc.,
You are just looking for something to nitpick you worthless piece of shit.
That redness is more realistic than if it was pure white.

>have to disagree
>he didnt even play until dawn
Until Dawn also has better environment and not just a small boat

If you cherry pick like that, graphics are worse. Don't be a retard. Gears 5 is amazing looking if you crank it up. So was God of War, RDR2, and a shit ton of others. AC Unity doesn't hold up at all next to Origins or Odyssey.

How the hell are you gonna tell me what games I did and did not play?

it must be. doom 3 and butcher bay both look like they're made of melted wax

>RDR2
>Good graphics

>i guess

The pic you posted was essentially a AAA title though.

Not worse, but definitely they've stagnated since at least 2011

yeah gears 5 sure is stunning with insane settings and optional ultra 4k textures.

Attached: gears10.jpg (3840x2160, 3.01M)

How is that possible? My crappy dual core could run crysis on high. god of onions should have no problem looking better.

For me it's more the really dark and hard shadows

>AC Unity doesn't hold up at all next to Origins or Odyssey.
Was he retarded or just misunderstood?

Odyssey is one of the best looking current gen games.

They are from dreams, but they were recreating images from control, I think that user actually thought they were from control

>AC Unity doesn't hold up at all next to Origins or Odyssey.
unity has by far the best lighting, origins and odyssey look cheap in comparison

i like to point out well done, subtle troll comments like this and this one is good.

You're just being disingenuous if you think that looks bad. Post some of the games you think look the best

We're getting to well into the point of diminishing returns with regards to production values/graphics. You can only throw so much money and time (which is also money) at it before it becomes unfeasible. Hardware plays a part (consoles and toaster PCs) too and throwing better hardware won't cut it soon as we're hitting the physical limits of what we can do with silicon.

the talent is just gone, its just retards doing express training with that shitty clay graphics

Nice.

Ubisoft artists should get more credit for all the tiny details they add to AC games.

PC couldn't render characters.

>zoomed youtube picture
Every game could look shitty this way idiot.

PC gaming went to shit and lost creativity, that's what went wrong.

Even if "AA gaming" came back it will inevitably turn into either AAA garbage or indieshit garbage

I didn't say it looks bad. I am saying that you posting Control pictures is unrelated to our conversation.

Crysis looks like shit by today standards, I don't know why PC only fanboys shill it so much.

we hit diminishing returns once games look like that FFXV movie until then shut up about memenishing returns

lolno

>And no you can't turn on anything. It just inherently has contact shadows.
But that's wrong, it literally has a Contact Shadow setting in the raytracing options.

No. Physically based rendering was a gamechanger. Lighting simulation is only getting more complex. Also this set of screenshots completely misses the impact of HDR, and if you take an in-game screenshot of an HDR game on PS4 it's all fucky.

Because gravity Rush sucks

This.

>thinking HDR has anything to do with graphics

>using botw in a graphics comparison
>it's a compressed screenshot

There is no raytracing options you retard. Maybe on PS5.

Jak and Daxter is AAA, what the fuck are you smoking?

It does. It takes more rendering power to calculate in 10 bits instead of 8.

>it looks scary therefore I am scared

The technicalities are getting better, but the aesthetics and style is getting far worse.

I like how description always say 2007 with images from modded version with years ahead that wouldn't even run on 2007 hardware. Anyway Crysis looks like shit whenever everything isn't covered in leaves and grass.

>Anyway Crysis looks like shit whenever everything isn't covered in leaves and grass.

Ur dumb.

shill got butthurt

Seethe

bottom isn't modded crysis
could be the expansion, but even the expansion released at that time anyway

It's called the Nintendo Switch.

>That God of War screenshot

Why the FUCK do normies and sonygros say that this is the best looking game ever?

Attached: 1565458325335.png (490x623, 579K)

No, devs are just getting lazy by relying on shitty post processing effects to hide bad lighting and bland art styles.

Snow physics. I shit you the fuck not.

He's hungover and was knocked out just prior so yes

>top 4: pc
>bottom 4 : consoles
are graphics getting worse? no, but devs are favoritize console development

Nope it has awful shadows and AO

Ryse was unironically pretty fun. That game got way too much hate from the press. Not every game needs to be a deep psychological social narrative or some shit

You can always find graphically unimpressive areas in a game

better than anything on Piss Sea or Shitch cuck.

The gameplay was trash and the story was trash.

Yes, at least we have a Crysis.

more like shadow of mordor with QTE executions everywhere

Is this Dreams?

They do, its always the area of their games that consistently great.

no. art direction is just getting generic.

Really I shouldn't even reply to bait like this but gimmie (you)'s

...

He's an idiot with a small scope and understanding of how this works. He doesn't understand as textures get larger, code for physics and other shit get more complex then so does the production cost and risk factor.

Nobody can afford to experiment, better to make a bland game than a exceptional failure.

This and also because there aren't enough talented game developers and artist capable of utilizing the technology efficiently. In part dude to the Tranny/LGBT mafia that has taken hold over the industry. The decadence of the industry leads to wasteful unoptimized code and resource management. Thus uglier products despite the developers having more horsepower.

>>'20 Open world, first person, high amount of detail fresh game to corner a dry market
The game still looks flat, though. like all the shading is gone, all interiors look as if they switch shadows and SSAO all the way off.
It doesn't help the fact that they've shown only one instance of driving in their first demo and it looked like shit then.
