  Photo realism still requires art direction.

  Think of a movie.

    aight this scene takes place in Mexico so lemme color grade it very Mexican, but also it’s a flashback to the 50’s so I’m gonna dial down the color saturation and digitally add some film grain

        I was in a bluegrass band called Cyberpunk Chihuahuas. We offended many cultural sensibilities.

    I think we’re talking about different things, but I see your point.

    By stylized “graphics” I took it to mean like the actual resolution, polygons, draw distance, etc, and then aesthetics goes on top of that.

      Art direction isn’t purely aesthetics either. There’s so many things that go into makeing art, be it a game or something else.

      Art should help us feel what the artist intended or sometimes something more personal to ourselves. Many aspects will facilitate or detract from that.

      You can have stylized photorealism the same as other styles of art. You mght see pixel art of a realistic scene. Or you can have extremely detailed animation.

      I think the better question is does the community allow for and reward that expression? Are there trends we don’t find too appealing universally? Are there styles of art that maybe seem overused?

        OK we’re definitely talking about different things when we say photorealism. I see stylized and photorealistic almost as on a linear spectrum. I realise there are more dimensionz to it than that, but that’s the usage I think the meme is critiquing. That’s how I took it, anyway.

    Expedition 33 has great graphics fidelity but it has amazing art direction too. When people said all Unreal games just feel the same … I like the art style they chose to give it their own feel.

  I think they mean that you can like both, you don’t have to choose only one to like
