Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists

  GPU consumption is more reliable to know how old a game is than its graphics.

  When Minecraft was released, I thought it was an accident. That no other game could be popular and run with with an inappropriate language such as Java.

  I was so wrong.

  I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.

  I would be happy if they stopped making everything look somehow both covered in vaseline while also being more reflective then a fucking mirror.

  Just look at this shit in the demo:

    When reflections became a thing in graphics, they were the new hotness. But unfortunately they’re overused because people seem to think that reflections are the best indicator of graphical realism. They’re a factor for sure, but overly reflective isn’t the same as realistic reflections

      Like 3d tv, this is just a fad. Most people I know turn off raytracing in a few min (even though they spent $1000s on hardware to do raytracing). The generated frames and full ray and pathtracing have such low payout vs the cost. Unless something changes this is all pointless waste.

      Best example I can think of is the rtx portal looking and running like ass compared to the now very old original.

  Mirro’s Edge is still beautiful to this day, despite being 17 years old

  id be happy if they actually optimized their games instead of releasing half baked buggy slow garbage

  Would you honestly prefer artistic over photorealistic in games like GTA, Arma, 7 days to die, every driving or racing sim, escape from tarkov/stalker, and majority of other popular titles? Yeah, no.

    I must have missed the part where OP said, "There shouldn't be any photorealistic games."

    I loved the goffy over the top graphics of older GTA games like Vice City, San Andreas etc. I played GTA 5 for a bit and then dropped it cause I feel the game lost some of its charm with the more realistic graphics

  These aren’t mutually exclusive

    High-fidelity and artfully stylized aren’t, but photorealism is like… a photo.

    • CubitOom@infosec.pub ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Photo realism still requires art direction.

      Think of a movie.

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

  artfully stylized graphics will always be better because they will look timeless

  Dear AAA game studios: Just look at Hades II.

  LOOK AT IT. A good chunk of the art you see on every playthrough isn’t even animated.

  I’m probably going to clear 300+ hours on this thing before I put it down, and I’ll likely tell everyone to buy it because it’s that good. Photorealism is the last thing I care about.

    Similarly Schedule I. Tyler optimized TF out of the very unrealistic graphics in that game, and is only hiring an artist so that the expansion looks pretty.

  I like both, they each have their place

  Hand draw each frame. Now do it 60 or more times per second.

  source

  • Hjalamanger@feddit.nu ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes, you only have to replace your GPU with about 800 000 artists (assuming the take four hours to draw a frame)

    source

    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      And since they have to do it 4 hours in advance, it’s technically using FrameGeneration. 😩

  Meh, I like high fidelity graphics. Most “artfully stylised” games are not to my taste either - pixel graphics do nothing for me and nor do a lot of flat 2D graphics. Stuff like GRIS is beautiful, but it seems to be an outlier. So for visually engaging stuff I find it’s AAA mostly realistic graphics - if not “photorealistic” - for me.

    A person with different tastes than me, grrrr. It’s diametrically opposite for me. All AAA, no matter what studio, not ID, not Lorien, their graphics just never look as vibrant as lo-fi graphics of a game made by, at most, 5 people. They do have some impressive aspects but, overall, because they try to look more “”“real”“” they end up looking more mundane and boring to me. Nothing will ever compete with artistic abstraction of lo-fi games 🥀

  Why do that when I can just ask Sora to make it for me? Then I don’t have to engage my brain at all!

  Jesus god and more pre-rendered graphics.

  Monster Hunter Rise was more visually satisfying that Wilds. Prove me wrong (you can’t).
