ITT: games with superior graphics and art style.

Bloodborne looks alright but I probably would have had a better time on PC with a more stable framerate and resolution. Not that it's anything detrimental.
Only thing that bothers me about BB is the chromatic abberation and how they slapped in on everything.
>>324107501
It's to cover for the PS4's limitations, but they made it work.
>>324107383
I agree with this. I played DS and DS2 first on consoles and then on PC and it made a world of difference. Especially DS2 (although DS1's Blighttown is, well you know)
>>324107691
>>324107501
>>324107383
You boys are not Sony positive enough to keep this thread alive.
Best art direction for current gen, that's for sure.
>>324107501
>chromatic abberation
I think that it was pretty okay.
Graphics where alright, But art direction made it look good as shit. It's the reason dark souls and demon's souls looked like a playstation 2's retarded cousin graphics wise and still looked amazing.
There's a lot of broken detail in Bloodborne that seem to have been overlooked, shit that's thrown right in front of you.
Elite might not have much going for it but it is a beautiful game at times and the art style is kind of similar to EVE.

I love the blue moonlight filter kind of thing in RE4 and BB.

>>324107691
Pretty sure DaS2 was 60fps on console, only because of the repeated textures and lack of detail on stuff
>>324115448
>Pretty sure DaS2 was 60fps on console
>>324115448
Fps was unlocked (atleast on ps3) but it rarely went up to 60
>>324107383
I like to think that making the game look good was at a much higher priority over stable framerates. There's so much detail in every room in DaS and BB
>>324115340
Forgot about this guy. Glad he's still dropping truth bombs like nothing.
>>324115448
>Pretty sure DaS2 was 60fps on console
Holy shit what the fuck are you smoking how fucking gone are you right now dude? Because you are obviously fucking gone as all fuck.
>>324115068
i usually like chromatic abberation but it looks really bad here
>>324115593
Well see I agree that BB has way more detail and polish than DS2, but you can't argue that it'd be a way more streamlined and impressive experience on Pc. I'm primarily a PC player with the PS4 in the background if anything like Guilty Gear Xrd, the odd JRPG, or Bloodborne gets released, but a computer with superior hardware is just the way to go. In terms of tech, PS4 is embarrassing. Take into consideration that people actually buy Xbox Ones still and that's even more embarrassing.
>>324115448
>Pretty sure DaS2 was 60fps on console
I'm not a PCuck or whatever but you are in such denial it's hilarious.

Remember Me
several Daedalic games like pic related, obviously no GRAFFIX here
I don't have a PS3 or 4 but they do have several exclusive games with really gud art direction aside from BB, like
Killzone
Folklore
Infamous
honorable mention:
XCX's environments, especially because it runs on a peasant toaster
>>324115340
This guy is an artist like no other, That insane ending reveals the amount of unbridled effort put into satirizing edgy youtube channels.
this game is never going to come out
>>324116659
holy shit this looks amazing, good game?
>>324114901
MGS5 is pretty hit or miss. A lot of the environments are so drab and boring but when the light catches things just right it's phenominally good looking.
>>324115340
>homosexual mummy people touching all over my body
Sephirothsword57 is truly amazing .
Cuppy ofcourse
>>324115593
>There's so much detail in every room in DaS and BB
Which is unfortunate, because in BB the game looks like a mass of pixellated shit most of the time, due to the low resolution. Even 1080p with AA isn't enough for that amount of detail.
>>324116925
>tfw had this on my backlog for years since not remembering much of it back on the PS1
>too used to having a lock on from Dark Souls to like it
What have I become such a casual shitter?
>>324116982
Without the CA, that games looks fantastic.
I'm just hoping it's not a Win10 exclusive.
>>324116624
>>324116863
It's from the guys who made the Deponia series so yes, it's most likely a really good point&click adventure game.
>>324116550
Goddamn I can't fucking wait for this game
it needs to hurry the fuck up
>>324116819
That guy is too busy trying to cozy up to the indie crowd and shoving his character in as many other games as possible.
Game won't be released until he can guarentee all the awards and press to become the next UnderTale. $650k isn't nearly enough to make a 2D pixel art game in 2016.
>>324115203
>Hurts my eyes if i'm honest.
Then you have shitty eyes
>>324117172
what about Memoria? it's a sequel or something?

what is this?
>>324116281
>>324116331
What games are these?
I'm gonna get shit on for this but I think Gears Of War has a great art style, mainly because Greece/Roman architecture gives me a stiffy and the character designs strike a nice balance between Warhammer level beef and realism.
Would've looked absolutely fantastic if the textures weren't that low-res.

Nah it's a stand-alone, The Dark Eye is a huge pen&paper RPG setting akin to D&D.

I'm a slave to the Dark Deco artstyle, and more games need to fucking use that shit
>>324117651

One demo and already enough to blow me away. Japan Studio is very good at style presentation in any style they dabble into.
>>324107117
>chromatic aberration
Dark Souls is still superior
>>324117806
This game is honestly the pinnacle of 3D as well, better than any movie or game before has used it. We had a 3D TV in our living area when this game out and it seriously blew my mind how well they implemented it.
2001 on PS2 hardware
>>324117712
Joe Mad is a fucking magician, I hope he returns for Darksiders 3
Sanctum 2 kinda looks like Killzone 3 on a budget.
Half Life 2. Souls games are for gay teenagers.
>>324117923
Should've posted PS2 screen though
Also, SH3 is superior visually and artistically in every regard.
Souls games. Half Life 2 is for gay teenagers.
Too bad LITERALLY NOBODY PLAYED IT
>>324117923
Well for one:
That's not what the PS2 version looks like because it's not the PS2 version.
>>324118057
half life 1. half life 2 is for gay tryhards.

Same goes for the film.
>>324118252
That game was fun as shit
>>324118165
I have and it doesn't look like that. The aliasing is much more noticeable.
I hope Dark Souls 3 isnt the last souls game they make. BB showed that Miyazaki can do great things with other settings and themes so I'd love to see what he could do elsewhere.
/tg/ had a fantastic idea of a cyberpunk souls game where all of humanity has disappeared and all thats left are massive, decaying cities maintained ad inhabited by the robots that were left over, one of which you play as.
>>324118252
The xbox 360 version of that game was the first game (along with Kameo) of that gen that really made me go "Holy shit"
>>324118237
ethan carter? not very flattering screenshot
>>324118237
What am I looking at here?
>>324118328
I thought we were talking about the polygons and texture, which are the same
aliasing is fixed by playing on a higher resolution
>>324118387
Miyazaki confirmed it's not the last one. He said it was a "turning point" though, whatever that means.

How's the DLC? I loved the game but i'm afraid the DLC won't be able to recapture that great feeling again.
>>324118431
tbqh the original poster said "PS2 Hardware" so emulated versions with hacks are kinda irrelevant.

I think it's supposed to pull the "old-CRT TV" look off.
You've seen worse, admit it.
Autumn Aurora 2 is goat.
>>324118517
Worth it.
It may have only like 24 puzzles but they are a lot more fleshed out and clever and the terminal conversations are now about societies, communities, forum/board culture and text adventures.
Why have people not mentioned GGXrd yet?
>>324119150
Because despite it being really pretty it's artstyle is essentially just "Anime"
>>324107117
I win.
>>324119150
beceuse fuck animu shit
>>324119234
And it's very accomplished in its graphical quality and how it does it.
Literally one of a kind.
the Legacy of Kain series has some of the best art direction and atmosphere of any game period.

>>324115660
Shit just literally hurts my eyes, makes me lose focus on things.
It should be used sparingly for intended purposes in certain scenes only - if at all. I think they went with chromatic aberration over liberal use of FXAA (like most other console games) to conceal bad textures and aliasing
>>324116384
Except actually being a good game.
Graphical progress is pretty underwhelming lately. Metro: Last Light maxed out is still the best thing I've seen running in realtime, The Witcher 3 didn't look that great and every recent release with the nvidia label slapped on it looks like it's from 2010.
What's the best looking game out in your opinion?
>>324122201Dark Souls 3
I don't care how hard you meme on this game, it has a great-looking art style
>>324122201
I agree. Metro: Last Light.
>>324116550
>kinda but it was developed before limbo
uuh no? FEIST is from 2015, LIMBO is from 2011
>>324107117
Alien: Isolation
Nailed the aesthetics, amazing graphics.
Bloodborne is one of the best looking games ever imo.
Not from a technical standpoint of course, but the way it uses the hardware to fully realize its artstyle is absolutely beautiful.
It's simply wouldn't have worked on last gen systems honestly. With other games, you have this amazing concept art that just looks breathtaking, and then you go "Shame the actual game doesn't look like that."
With Bloodborne, it actually does. Every cobblestone, every gnarly tree, every rooftop, there are some flaws with blending far away objects with close renders as you can see in this picture, but ultimately its just a feast for the eye.
>>324122815
how do you sex the robot lady if her legs are welded shut
>>324115068
>all this chromatic aberration and blur
I say it every time I see this piece of shit and I'll say it again, it won't be possible to play a single hour straight due to how much it strains your eyes.
I just hope it will be possible to turn these filters off.
>>324125226

>>324125220
Same goes for GW2.
Shame the game is shit. And it would take so little to make it so good... god damn it.
>>324107117
>won no awards
im still laughing hahahaha holy shit get rekt kids
>>324125314
just suprised that about a 100posts in ME wasnt even mentioned, everything that was posted was either muh bloodborne or some ugly ass fps
>>324125365
GW2 shouldve been a single player game or actually been like GW with all those designs and assets brought down to a single player game scale instead of an open world mmo. In mmos you just run past everything without looking twice and there are wide gaps of empty nothing.
>>324117568

Shit was quite cool.
But I got bored of it after some 4 or so hours.

If people could handle it in Bloodborne, they can handle it in this
Also that's a webm which adds blur and compression artifacts so the game's blur is compounded by that fact and probably won't be as bad when you actually play it
>>324125783
pleb taste nigger, go jerk off to bloodborne some more
>>324125618
DS2 looks nothing like BB, the designs of the architecture are based on an entirely different period and location
>>324125618
Dark Souls 2 artstyle was at times amazing, but it was a bit all over the place in terms of quality. At times it is beautiful like your pic, but it also has a bunch of cramped tunnels with no reason for it.
Bloodborne pretty much keeps it top tier the entire way through.
>>324125869
>actually looks like it could be a scene from one of the first 3 movies
Neat.
>>324126042
I tried my best to recreate the looks.
Vanilla game don't look like this.
>>324125540
>I got bored of it after some 4 or so hours.
Uh, that's how long the entire game is.
>>324125931
>Bloodborne pretty much keeps it top tier the entire way through.
Not really I've seen some PVP webms that looked borderline last-gen
>>324125924
This pic >>324125220 could almost be mistaken for a DS screenshot of Anor Londo. All Souls games share a similar aesthetic, the main differences are architecture like you said, monster designs and filters
>>324125597
Oh no, a game has the audacity to have a somber and joyless tone. Every game should have the exact same color palette.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL3Ph3tPtk0
Shame about the game, though.
>>324126114
Wlel, then I guess it was sooner.
>>324125869
I googled it, and supposedly it's simulating a visual flaw in light passing through glass, such as in a lens.
My question then, is this: Why do games emulate visual flaws such as chromatic aberration, specs of dust and lens flares?
These are all visual flaws related to camera lenses, that movie directors - for the most part (J.J. Abram's lens flares come to mind) - have sought to eliminate. It adds a layer to the visual scenes that brings you out of the game world, and behind a camera, merely peeking into the game world.
>>324107501
agree.
It looks ugly as fuck and doesnt add anything.
>>324126387
Chromatic aberration looks awful, but helps hide lack of proper AA and low poly counts because it hides the edges. Dust/lens flares are just a way to make video games look more like movies, which isn't surprising considering most of the games that extensively use them are 'cinematic experiences" made by failed movie writers.
>>324126387
>My question then, is this: Why do games emulate visual flaws such as chromatic aberration, specs of dust and lens flares?
Because they want to emulate a feeling of the screen being a "window" into another world.
I think it's clever for third person games, but it has no place in first person games.
>>324125618
which mods do you use for that look?
>>324126150
>This pic >>324125220 could almost be mistaken for a DS screenshot of Anor Londo
Not really, one of the most defining features of Anor Londo is how bright and golden everything is. That grey overcast Bloodborne sky looks nothing like Anor Londo.
>>324126387
because for AAA game makers, "being like movies" === good
>>324116636
What game?
I dare you to name me a more stylish game.
Even the FUCKING MENUS are oozing it.
>>324126981

>>324118252
Holy fuck I have some great memories from that game
One of the best movie-games out there
>>324126150
They share an art style but they look completely different in every other way.

>>324107501
Tfw when I thoroughly enjoy the look of chromatic abberation.

>>324126549
New consoles really don't need to do this any more. There's AA solutions that don't take much peformance and work incredibly well in a situation where you know exactly what resolution you're running at and how much graphical processing power you're working with.
>>324115340
>in Sonic the Hedgehog, you move foward
>In Bloodborne, you move backwards
>It's called Bloodborne, but it should be called Bloodboring
Fucking based
>>324126651
Anor Londo isn't even that bright though
I'm just saying that that pic, to someone who hasn't played all the Souls games like me, looks just like <insert and Souls game here>
The ayy lmao shit in that game looks different than anything in the other Souls games, though
>>324127246
But they're post processing AA, you need that post process time for those sick blur and lens flare effects. Though I guess it doesn't matter as much in games running at 30fps.
Metro: Last Light looked AMAZING when it came out in 2013, and Metro 2033 Redux looks even better

Persona and Gravity Rush both have style out the ass. Namely P4 Golden and Gravity Rush both share this 60's/70's retro vintage style to them and it's fantastic.
This webm is not a good example though but is on topic as it has one of the best artstyles I've seen in recent history and dose open world incredibly well.
