This for me does one good thing indirectly. I’ve been saying since Okami on ps2 that realism is a waste of time and art style is the way to make games better to look at. That photorealism will plateau hard. Well, here it is, that’s the ideal of realism, we reached it. Now devs can be free to pursue other venues of improving the look of games besides trying to make hair look real and realistic stretch marks or whatever. Now more people are free to pursue innovative art direction if they want to stand out cause reality has only one look to it and everyone can now have that same look.

We are calling it AI slop because of how atrocious the rendering is, ruining the artistic direction that the developers had originally envisioned.

.....You also just contradicted yourself, because what you describe sounds exactly like generative AI.

He's essentially telling us not to believe our eyes.

One of the top comment

This is very different than shit from a ass; it’s anus generated fecal matter. That’s why we call it poo from a butt

Delicious

Man this AI thing is filtering a lot of people. I see randoms defending it or saying this is what gamers always wanted but just cause it's AI we don't want it now. Lots of people are outing themselves as not understanding games on a fundamental level. (or as being functionally blind at the very least)


And they all sound like that one little kid from a news segment about the DS when it was new saying the DS "has more graphics".

You would be surprised how many "gamers" really only care about the graphics. Or at least use graphics as a huge deciding factor to the games they play. It's really kinda sad.

And notice they're always the first ones to ditch, or don't hold any actual values when things get tough. Or they lose immediate interest in the thing they wanted when they finally get it.

I remember meeting this one guy who kept going on about how Assassin's Creed has "da best graphics!", but he can never explain it to me other than "it's realistic!". I asked him what he enjoys about the games on a character, story, gameplay or level design and the dude gave me nothing but a blank stare. The guy was so obsessed with just having a best graphics, he couldn't articulate anything else. This was as a gamestop back in 2019.

because we can always use some heartwarming news; A solo-dev breaks down in tears after his game release was a success! He spent 4 years working on it

A huge congratulations to you, brother! You deserve every bit of success after all that work

Aesthetics will top "good" graphics for me any day. There's a reason why I feel like visually so many SNES games hold up much better for me than PS1 games.

 

[BrawlMan]

And Genesis and many 2d Saturn games.

Imagine this is what kills gamers' obsession with graphics. Nothing new and shiny to buy, no out of stock $4000 GPU, no PS7 reveal trailer, just a toggleable filter shadowdropped on a Monday. Overnight, photorealism has become the new FMV cutscene or CD audio. Now that the dream is achieved using the lamest method possible, they now say they never wanted it to begin with.

I wonder what their reaction is when they find out that it took two 5090s to run that RE9 demo. (One to run the actual game; the other for the AI.) Will the capital-G Gamers be running out to pay upwards of six grand to have their precious graphical fidelity?

I still own a base PS5 and play games in performance mode when the option's available, and that's totally fine by me.

If I ever turn on DLSS5, every single person on this forum has permission to shoot me, because clearly I'm an imposter.

Yeah honestly I’m just here having fun with my backlog of switch and Wii U games on my new switch 2 and just having the best of times. Turns out even in the ps3/4 era, on the lower end of power, games were still a blast.

And I’ll have a shotgun ready in case BuffedFalcon ever reads his fake head.

Those new Tomb Raider games are gonna have problems. https://kotaku.com/tomb-raider-remake-crystal-dynamics-layoffs-2000680096

They are firing staff before the games are even out. Which doesn't bode well for shit.

There goes my interests.

Rushing Beat X finally came out now about 17 minutes ago. It's my day off, but I am running some errands and won't be back until the afternoon to play it.
