diminishing returns
Diminishing returns
gay
the fun cannot be halted.
great now run it through an AI and see what it comes up with.
this pic has always been moronic. with extra polygons you could have real hair and real clothes instead of unmoving plastic. plus video games arent just a single character. you can add more polygons to the entire scene
returning diminishes
Sneeding chucks.
Technology got better but developers got worse
They were also on completely different console generations
There are PS3 games that look worse than PS2.
There's also PS2 games that look way worse than other PS2 games.
What's your point?
There are PS5 and top of the line PC games that looks worse than PS2 games.
They did hair better back then.
Hair and facial hair now looks like Wooly Willy.
If graphics stopped around PS3 I'd be happy honestly. So long as it meant that gameplay was prioritised.
I just want to play something that doesn't feel like my brain is being sodomized by ZOG brainwashing.
So were these
God noctis was such a dingus.
I still get mad when I think about how good of a game XV COULD have been if SE weren't incompetent morons and knew how to handle a game properly.
Let it go anon...
I've genuinely never finished the game and yet have tried starting it and giving it another chance like 5 times. I start it, get like 5-10 hours in before getting tired of it and dropping it. XV isn't an average game because it's made up of average components. XV is an average game because it's made up of some absolutely phenomenal shit and also god awful shit and they sort of meet in the middle. The game's fricking schizophrenic in quality.
Yeah I like it, enjoy it even, but it's trash
I completed the entirety of the base game plus the original DLC. It's a travesty what happened to the game. A lot of smart ideas trampled by LOL only 2 towns, one you have to ride a boat of no return to and if you do return is retconned as happening before you went on the boat. Also let's take out the entire opening sequence of the game that was in advertisements for the game for fricking years up till the 15 rebrand and turn it into a shitty movie.
The list of pants on head moronic shit goes on and on. Pisses me off because I really liked the idea of a bro adventure with NO GIRLS ALLOWED and they mishandled it so much fricked up so much of the original vs13 shit. The final kick in the dick was the cancellation of the alternate ending DLC and modding tools that would have let people mod in quests and other shit.
>and modding tools that would have let people mod in quests and other shit.
HOW have i not heard of this before?
In case you havnt heard the guy currently in charge of the fan made mod tool that is superior to the one SE put out is basically recreating the original planned level editor/add quest mod tool now

>top is pic fron game
>bottom isn't even a screenshot of the game
FF16 looks worse than FFXV
Honestly, if you grew up between 1980-2010 you will literally never see that scale again.
The jump to the 360/PS3 era and getting an HD tv was the last big jump that I really felt. Everything else has just been kinda the same. I still don't know where the frick games taking over 100 gigs became normal.
>still don't know where the frick games taking over 100 gigs became normal.
Is this like a weird third-world complaint, or US because I know they have issues with their ISP's? I'm from UK and I can download 100gb in like 15 mins.
Not who you're replying to but Australia still has shit download speeds
$75 per month for 50/20
50mb? Jesus.
Still gotta do the good ol "leave the game to download overnight" strategy
I remember doing that back in the Napster/Limewire days. Holy shit.
>games taking over 100 gigs
that's mostly uncompressed audio files
I knew something was happening when I could barely read menus and subtitles on my PS3 when it was connected to the old CRT.
So I switched to playing on a much bigger CRT 🙂
Women and minorities
Pursuit of audio-visual fidelity at the expense of literally everything else.
computer memory is so cheap, and games takes up so much space, but the part you play is the same, or smaller.
We shouldve stayed with 2001 tier graphics.
Wouldn't have cope over 30fps
i'm literally Auron
They reached a threshold of popularity beyond which no media can exist without globalists setting rules about what you can and can't show.
>30 years since games went from 2d to 3d
>STILL not a single game with 4d graphics
I always thought 10 looked ugly, with the solid PS2 aesthetics and the art style.
The PS1 was capable of much more than that, Square Enix are just bad developers.
Also, everyone knows graphics peaked with the PS2, everything after that has been slop.
FF7 was fairly early on in the PS1's life cycle. They improved with 8 and 9, although those games kinda show that the PS1 isn't really all that great with detailed and semi-complex models. Some people will say "They look great on a CRT", but when I played them on my CRT as a kid I always thought they looked shitty. Like it doesn't matter whether it's on a CRT or a high-end monitor via emulator, Squall looks like a grotesque freak either way.
Video games in general peaked in the 6th generation. We're just witnessing opportunistic predators pilfering the good ideas of the past.
the right is not from a 2000 release, but from a 2015 or whenever remaster
If you wanna be that petty the left is actually from 2015.
Black folk prostitutes and soeimen
>just 4 years
It's insane how quick development cycles used to be and how often games would release back then compared to now. It's taken how how many fricking years since 15 for 16 to release?
they could churn out great game after great game in 1-2 years, now it takes them entire console gens to release mediocrity. what are they thinking? how does this make sense from a business perspective?
We need another video game crash.
the successors of the industry started making products for their investor's interest rather than making a product for the consumer
Same thing that happened to technology in general.
In 2003 it wasn't that rare for people to just not have mobile phones and the ones that did own them only used them for calling and texting.
4 years later, in 2007, the iPhone came out.
15 years later, in 2023, you're still using an iPhone.
Those are hardware gaps not software or developers. Game graphics can't evolve more than it already did. It already look like real life.
>It already look like real life.
wrong. even when the best looking game out with an insane budget tries its hardest to copy a film 1:1, it comes up short
We've hit a point where there's graphically very little return on the jump between hardware, but people are still obsessed with graphics.
I don't even think its that, I honestly think it's just a generation thing. Think about someone growing up in the 00s, it was PS2 to maybe PS3/4 etc and they haven't seen the progression like the generation before. Now imagine kids growing up in 2010's, there's basically no change.
Wtf. I thought there was at least 6-7 years between these games. So you just get older an forget timeliness? Wtf. I remember getting a ps1 with the phantom menace and ff7 in 1999. It took me a year to even play ff7. It just stayed in its cellophane for a year.
I'm so glad I was an adult during the 00s, It was the greatest vidya timeline.
From 94 or something until 2007 or something, it was quite literally the golden years
people will tell you its diminishing returns, soul vs soulless etc but the reality is old devs were just incompetent which made all the catching up the industry did around the PS2 and Xbox 360 eras look more impressive than it really was. a game like gears of war could easily be made on a ps1 but the developers back then made full moron spagetti code games which limited what was actually possible with the hardware
Style was lost in favor of substance
Substance being photorrealistic graphics and models with 99999999999 polygons
I'm not a 7gay, but I will still forever be annoyed that SE refused to give us a proper 7 remake. would be nice to be able to replay the original game without the lego models or the garbage translation (and maybe add in a Hard difficulty and some more postgame content).
You will buy a game filled with random shit that's been split into 3 parts
