How can a vanilla game from 2007 still look better than most AAA games in 2016 ?
>>
Same reason sonic and mario look better than indie pixelshit

test

Because consoles are absolute trash in terms of hardware capabilities, but that's to be expected in mass-produced "gaming" devices
To play a game almost on par with real life, you'd have to spend thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars on (a) graphics card(s) to be able to even run it at a decent framerate
Pick your poison, but just so you know PC is the least painful of the batch

>>337140957
the bottleneck isn't technology, its developer skill

>>337140957
because highres textures = good graphics

>>337140957
I don't even care about graphics anymore, what really makes me sad is that all AAA games nowadays are dumbed down garbage designed to be played with a shitty controller and no brain at all.
It's not fun at all to have nice melee mechanics replaced with shitty one button takedowns, it's no fun to play against AI that's not even trying to push your shit in, it's not fun to have every objective, subobjective and secret marked on your HUD and minimap.

I don't get it, if that's nothing more than sweetfx, why can't devs just include those effects to begin with?

Oh come the fuck on, even with a enb gta IV is outdated as fuck.

its not hard to make a game look better than a console game with shitty lighting and lack of AO other than the pre-baked ones.

cherrypicking and compromising how the game looks the other 99% of the time.

funny how you project your opinions on me I didn't mention Uncharted nor do I care about most Sony exclusives.All I'm saying is that a game can have the greatest graphics of all time,but it doesn't mean shit if it's gameplay is trash.

Yeah well it's not like games are getting any better gameplay. In fact they are getting significantly worse. So both gameplay and graphics are stagnating.
