what is this sorcery?
Unreal Engine 1
>>322126776
It only looks that good because of the resolution you nig. Back then everybody played it on 800x600 computers so of course it looked shitty by today's standards.
The only thing I hate about early Unreal Engine games is how fucking square everything is, otherwise they're entirely serviceable by today's standards
>Good use of colour and tones
>Varied and interesting environments
>Cool weapon designs that aren't just tactical weapon reskins
That's why.

FUCK

This and decent art direction.

Arguably.
My grandpa was a big computer geek. He had 4 in his house, and got me unreal tournament. I was a kid back then, so i kept asking them to play with me.
My grandma did, and she actually took a liking to the game. Until just a few years ago, she was actually in a clan and everything. She had clan practice days and clan vs clan drama and everything.
Also, Unreal (original) was god tier and still a metric by which i judge people's taste.
Take a look at the aloha for ut4
>>322127475
kinda

At least, this game looked good.

arriba taco taco
2007 with a half assed engine look better than Gears of war.
>>322128994
Cinematic games lack gameplay.
>>322127437
It sucks, at least UT4 is coming.
>>322126776
The texturing was top-notch. I still don't think I've seen texturing as good since then. TF2, maybe.
Does anyone play UT or UT2k4 anymore? I miss playing with my dad and my babysitter. Hell, sometimes I miss just fucking around with bots
>>322129131
are there actually taco bell ads in gta 5
Too bad the gun models get cut off when you try to play it at a decent fov.
>>322126776
sc chaos theory arguably looks like a modern game on low settings

Soooo... why do we continue to use the steering wheel?
I mean, mechanically speaking, there's no reason to still have this kind of input.
And the wheel is objectively inferior and less precise compared to something like a joystick.
So why haven't we made the switch, at the very least in racing?
>>322127847
>she was actually in a clan and everything. She had clan practice days and clan vs clan drama and everything.
fucking hilarious.
>>322129821
There is a pretty regular /v/(/vg/?) group that I see threads pop up for on the regular here. They have a steam group, and apparently play on the regular, but I don't know what it is off hand.
I just very recently got into this game.
Really sad that I hadn't tried it out earlier, I always assumed it was a bland Quake ripoff.
Honestly, I might like it better than Quake at this point.

What are you smoking they're two totally different types of game

feels bad man

Feels bad. Such an underrated game,
Super Mario Bros 2 is a good game, but a bad Mario game.
so why did UT3 fail?

Honestly any game with passable textures, models (polycount doesn't matter) and resolution looks good to me.
>>322127267
Honestly, I think the opposite. A lot of the hard edges and wonky details get lost in the pixelation. Crysis looked a lot better when I couldn't make out the individual polygons on every branch at 50 yards. Another example: you may have thought this image was a photograph up until the point where you expanded it.
Games that were saved by art direction.

It took me fifteen seconds to look up HL2's release date.
We live in the age of information, use it.
>>322132293
Too slow and focused on the dumb stuff from 2k4 like vehicles. Less movement options and heavy character feel compared to flying around at the speed of sound previously
>>322129131
ReShade/SweetFX OP. It fixes the washed out look and removes chromatic aberration.

>>322127341
so art direction. It's amazing how far that can take a game.
>>322127901
It still pisses me off that the Wii actually had a ton of games that had great art styles and visuals that was fucked because of the 480p maximum.
Brawl, No More Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Sonic Colors, etc.
>>322132293
it was shit
I like playing old games at modern resolutions and with aa and shit. I just recently got the PC version of Shadows of the Empire working and am having a nostalgia rush.
