    💯 but CDPR really did what they said they were gonna do and made the game into something special. A lot of people won’t ever stop hating on it for the launch but I have to give them props, they crushed it the best they could after that launch. It’s one of my favorite worlds and games of all time now. I don’t even fast travel because Night City is so interesting to drive and run around in.

    @@DintheDinster I tried after launch and had a terrible time, but reinstalled after the 2.0 patch too, and now it's one of my favourite games. The original release was virtually unplayable, but CDPR was very diligent in continuing to develop it, and the Phantom Liberty DLC really completes the narrative. It honestly feels like an Early Access experience, which pushes further blame to the publishing timeline, not the devs.

    I somewhat disagree that bad graphics can't ruin a good game. Maybe not for you, but they definitely can for myself and others. While I can appreciate a game that plays well but looks bad, it definitely holds me back from really getting into it. That also doesn't mean that a game has to be a technical graphics powerhouse, it can just be art direction.

    Yea but gameplay wise I prefer GT2 and GT3 A Spec. GT7 is garbage, and I bought the steelbook edition on launch. It's a traffic passing simulator. No real racing. Very minimal amount of real cars. Very limited customization. My favorite feature of GT2 was transforming a car using the race car modification (i forgot what it's called) but you could basically take certain cars and go into the upgrades and buy a race car conversion, it would come complete with a paint job, like Castrol and the like, it would add a spoiler and body kit depending on the car, making it look like a real race car.

    The Tekken segment does make the argument that graphics aren't everything (which is not what you're claiming I know). Seeing those OG animations applied to current gen graphics just shows that the gameplay is what allowed us to overlook the relative unreality of the old graphics back in the day. If anything, devs have to work a lot harder now to make these much more realistic graphics move and act realistically. The old games relied on help from our imaginations to bridge the gap.

    2 ideas for you: - Try to do the opposite: then vs now... finding game that are 10 years (ish) old that look better than new recent games. - compare current real-time game with old(-ish) pre-rendered 3d movies (toy story, Final Fantasy, ...?) have fun, thanks for the videos !

    So many more comparisons you could do! I'd love to see a second part - GTA 1 vs 5, Fallout 1 vs 4 (especially with the next gen mod!), Morrowind vs Starfield, Red Dead 1 vs 2. Would also be cool to do a comparison with originals vs. remakes (FF7 comes to mind first).

    A nice sequence to show in this regard is combat flight sims. • Starting with Their Finest Hour - Battle of Britain. 2d sprites that personally I had no way of hitting, shuffling about in a sort-of 3d space. • Chuck Yeager's Air Combat went 3D and was infinitely more playable as a result. But everything was made of obvious triangles, lacking textures. • Then on to something like the first IL-2 Sturmovik game (or if you prefer something older: European Air War or WWII Fighters), which had textures, damage models etc, but rudimentary ground LOD. • And right now there's DCS. I have not played it much, but some people are putting out some seriously cinematic stuff.

    Unpopular opinion: you're comparing constantly with games pre-2005, because if you'd compare with games of, let's say, a decade ago (which is still 10 years!), you wouldn't find any real significant updates besides a bit of atmospheric light play. Graphics just follows the Unreal engines, and a 15 year wait for an update is at the very least a bit disappointing. On the other hand, I'm still waiting for the first game that will truely take use of Unreal 5's photographic developments.

    Total Annihilation (1997) vs Supreme Commander (2008). The first title was really before 3D was a thing, but they made it work somehow. They created it to look 3d. Lots of reviews scored the graphics 10/10 for the time. Then came the spiritual successor and we got what they tried to in 1997: Fully zoomable, fully rotatable detailed 3 models that look good.

    The biggest challenge with making things look "real" now is that we have such high resolutions that everything looks much too clean. That subway example? I've never been on any public transportation that was that clean. Even a fancy train trip, the seats have stains and lint. The carpets have discoloration or frayed edges or ripples. For me to buy that subway as real, there would need to be a good bit of ground clutter that is varied enough to not be obviously copy/pasted for each car.
