It was really good, but needs to have a continuations with VR methinks.

When I was about 7 I got into an accident with some fire. Ended up in hospital for 5 months on the childrens ward. Once I'd recovered enough to get out of bed into a wheelchair, I found the "games room". Back in the 1980's that consisted of lots of board games, some colouring books, an endless supply of "The Beano" comics and ... an original table cabinet Space Invaders. Every night, about 1am once the nurses had mostly gone home, I'd sneak silently down the corridor into the games rooms and turn on Space Invaders. The nurses kept the credit key in the top left hand drawer. I usually got about 2 hours of playing in before I was discovered. They either found my empty bed and went looking for me, or a nurse would be going off duty and rumble me on her way past the room from the glowing lights. I mastered that game. Eventually they would take my wheelchair away every night at lights out to stop me from playing. I just scooted along the corridor on my butt for a few nights. You cannot stop a gamer. Good times!

Watching this many years later, the section that mentioned dirt and other effects "on the lens" really brought back memories. Hit the nail on the head when you said they were overused and would become more subtle, most screen effects now are limited to the corners of the screen like vignetting. I boot up games from 5-8 years ago now and when I get water drops, bloody streaks, and smudges of dirt right on the center of the screen that stick around for more than a few seconds, it tends to be rather annoying :p

And the upcoming titles (except for console ports) followed similar trend, so a lot of PC gamers started upgrading their HW to run such games, expensive times haha

It's because he is an erudite, educated person (as are the member of his team, which I suppose him to have). This informs his entire approach to the subject matter. First, the level of research is exhaustive. Second, a keen focus clearly led the work, so that even what could have been an amorphous and bloated research stage was well-conceived and thoughtfully directed. Last, approaching the source material from an academic stance, he takes great pains to present it, both through the lens of his intellectual process, whilst at the same time, ensuring that audiences of all educational/academic backgrounds would find the final product easily accessible. Combined, this makes for a wonderfully enjoyable document

I always feel much smarter after watching videos like this, even though I've already forgotten everything I've just learned.

It just came to me that while pixels rainend supreme in the 2D era, and modern reinterpretations of it, it was actually vector graphics which can be traced more as an influence in the evolution to modern 3D with its vector wireframe polygons. Meanwhile the pixels, when translated directly into 3D, are the less successful voxel graphics which are more seem on the indie scene today

Good video format! Progressing through the technologies and referring back to the early days of graphics throughout the video keeps the attention of those of us who are fond of those early days, much better than progressing through the video on a timeline. This may just be a consequence of the chosen organization of the essay, but I like it.

"Previously planar plumber" Loved that.

40:00 "with the recent arrival of a new console generation". that's when I came to realize this video is over 4 years old

Most enjoyable video I've watched in a while. I must have played 90% of these games and some I'd forgotten. I'm now 65 and started with pong up to MS flight sim and Shadow of the Tomb raider nowadays. A trip down memory lane.

One thing that's not obvious from watching this today is just how good the 80s - mid-90s sprite graphics looked on a CRT TV or monitor. The low pixel resolution and inherent blurring that came about from the way CRTs worked really smoothed them and gave them depth that you can't see with the crisp rendering of a high-resolution LCD.

Crash Bandicoot may have had a "low" polygon count, but at the time it was released, it was incredibly impressive. Thanks to it's corridor based level design, the stages were able to accommodate lush, detailed environments compared to most other games at the time. Andy Gavin, co-founder of Naughty Dog, actually recalls watching Shigeru Miyamoto play the Crash demo at it's first hands on E3 showing, and apparently Miyamoto was smiling the entire time, and thoroughly enjoyed playing the game

Lol shit; RT tech has been around for 17 years now.. Still haven't seen it genuinely integrated at a large scale... lots of fake RT on consoles, a few titles on PC used it, some tech demos but other than that.. not shit and I guarantee you the next series of consoles will be just as shitty-middle-range-laptop incapable of truly rendering it. sure PC graphics cards have supported it since the ATi 5xxx/Nvidia 2xx but since consoles have come to dominate the industry, little software is programmed to take advantage of it. Graphics and tech have stalled because the major players in the industry know the key and it's "*Fuck if it's trash, they'll buy it anyways*"

Quake III Arena had a fully working raytracing implementation back in the early 2000's. Nvidia just sold another batch of overpriced GPU's to another million monkeys via some "Raytracing" gimmick, despite pre-release benchmarks showing that the cards were vastly incapable of such tech in games. Monkeys still slapped dat pre-order button. $2000 Titan XP - Raytracing Edition please! XD

@@TheVanillatech I think this is more of a near "plug and play" approach, because do consider that older games had to redesign their lighting systems from scratch or come up with a (yet another proprietary) game engine that would seamlessly support RT. In real world scenarios, who would wanna do that? Even a giant game company wouldn't spend tons of R&D on something that might get unstable as technology (HW and SW) progresses. Unless you're EA.

Saw people trying to do voxels to make things constructed and breakable instead invisible walls and invincible everything in 3D. If you focus on emergent gaming, sandbox mode, and player building the worlds, they want to turn that into the new virtual reality. Kinda like minecraft but with sand or smaller like every atom in your body is glued by the program. Get cut you bleed but the processing power to measure that might take a decade or more. Still the effect of feeling what you see happens in those goggles and to make the virtual world more malleable is a worthwhile pursuit. Some started off too grand trying to MMO that around the world when it almost kills the game specs solo.

Realtime raytracing was used in the early first person shooters (Wolfestein 3D, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D). They cast horizontal rays, one for each column of pixels in the screen, and painted a column of pixels when they found a wall or an sprite. Very efficient, but also limiting in the allowed geometry. General purpose 3D, with full 3D transformations, Z-buffer for occlusion, and arbitrary texture transformations, as introduced in Quake, required more horsepower, but was more flexible and, in the end, more powerful CPUs and dedicated GPUs made it viable.

What an amazing video! I wonder if this series might deserve another episode covering the last eight years of development or so?

I saw bioshock and I almost cried. that game means so much to me and was my childhood and even today the graphics hold up especially infinites amazing story, still play the game to this day and have so many playthroughs done.

I think graphics still matter greatly, photorealism does not matter. A lot of indie games wouldn't be where they were without their particular graphical choices.

@pieterpauwels548

exactly. graphics are HUGELY important for video games. it's often what makes or breaks succes. although it's not the technical improvements people care about anymore usually, but more how the artists use what they have available to them to make something coherent and stylish. making sure all art assets fit together in one scene is massively more important than having a couple of extra polygons or a higher resulution texture.
