Its annoying because you can have a beautiful game and also have visible enemies. In god of war and red dead 2, which are easily some of the best looking games out there, you can actually see the enemies.
I feel like todays games will never have graphics that age poorly because of how realistic they are. But they'll definitely be forgotten as realistic graphics continue to improve.
I still love old school games that have absolutely atrocious graphics because everything else about the game is good. Graphics are not entirely mandatory
One thing I still love about this video is that it kills Dunkey to give League of Legends a compliment, but he nonetheless gives credit where it's due on principle.
He did it to draw a comparison to Dota 2 in the most retarded way though. For Dota he picked a teamfight from years ago (the games graphical fidelity has vastly improved since 2011) with like 7-8 heroes on screen and then compares it to the laning stage from league with no spells being cast at all and 2 heroes on the screen. I'm sure Dota does have a little more visual clutter than league does, but the way this comparison was done was intentionally meant to portray Dota negatively for no reason other than to prove the point that visual clutter is a bad thing ( and this doesn't even apply to Dota really).
dota is also more unclear if you’ve played it less because it is an intrinsically more oblique game by design- the visuals reflect the fact that many of the /mechanics themselves/ aren’t even immediately represented to the player

One of the main things I love about valve's game design is that the background and foreground are very "black and white". You can ALWAYS tell what you're looking at because the background isn't super cluttered and over-detailed. Games like CSGO, TF2, portal, half life, etc still hold up and will stand the test of time forever. Unlike games like COD and Destiny with really messy artstyles that have no contrast where you can barely tell what you're supposed to be aiming at
That feeling when you're in a very realistic gameworld but now you can't tell what's an object and what's just level geometry because there's no stylistic language other than "it look real"
It depends. Original Tomb Raider graphics were simplistic but objects were not highlighted: you had to explore and FIND where to go. The Anniversary remake, which is already old by modern standards, had modern graphics in the sense people didn't look like LEGO blocks. And I think they overdid with highlighting where you n eed to go and all climbable objects in white. Assassin's Creed (before they made everything climbable in Origins) had much better balance of not showing what you can climb without blending enemies into background (and also highlighting keys/interactive objects). But it depends on a genre. For action-adventure games you don't want too much railroading.
I'd say this mostly started in the late 2000's. I mean some of the CoD games were great, but holy shit it's like I'm playing a dusty, foggy greyscale because literally nothing has color. Now it can be like a JJ Abrams movie with 20 lens flares in 1 shot of gameplay and too many colors to count, but you still don't know what the fuck is the environment and what's shooting you.
This is one of the main reasons I don’t play modern games. Been replaying the Goldeneye Xbox remake recently and it’s reminded me what a good game should play like
@Stan Brule they somehow nailed he balance of camera cuts to default shoulder view in first two Mass Effects, then animated each dialogue by hand in 3, giving up on small talks (those are ingame without camera cuts), and I guess, burned out and decided to go back to KOTOR dialogue and one-NPC-model-per-race in Andromeda... I think Inquisition had the same issue? Still, alternative is reading a text box. I liked both Pillars and Greedfall. *shrugs* but I want another Mass Effect or KOTOR.
One thing I appreciate about the 3D Mario games is that Mario’s shadow is always directly below him as a point of reference to where you’ll land, even in Odyssey which has more realistic graphics and shadows.
Point of the Video: Realistic graphics aren't important, good art direction, HUD clarity, and camera placement are! (Although, good graphics are still very pretty to look at.)
It's not that realistic graphics aren't important. It's entirely on the art direction. Uncharted has pretty realistic graphics and yet it still looks beautiful and clear. Graphics are important and sometimes detrimental to how you experience the video game.
+unkownada Realistic graphics aren't important. They mostly just age worse. I think a degree of surrealism is actually very much beneficial. Aside from the previously mentioned aging, I think it simply allows for more in the game itself. By aiming for realism you're also limiting how much you can do in the game world itself. The art director for Breath of the Wild said something along the lines off: "Try to aim for a degree of realism where you expect things to behave in a realistic manner buy where you wouldn't be surprised if they don't." Realism is far from a necessity to be immersed but it puts a lot of limitations of what you can with the art direction. +Manly O'ger is pretty right in my idea. Realism more than anything is a fairly straight forward degree to judge how good graphics are.
Again, it's on the art direction. Realistic graphics can age fine depending on how it's used. Uncharted and GTA might look a little dated today but they still work really well.
+uknowanda It IS on the art direction but there's just no absolute benefit to realism, as you said "It's not that realistic graphics aren't important." I do have to respond with that they aren't, and I do think there's an inherent advantage to have a degree of surrealism is just a straight up advantage, not necessarily in how a game looks but in what gameplay it allows and how that would work with visuals.
I totally agree with your point regarding visual clarity from 0:20. So many modern games fail at this because they don't take into account the gameplay ramifications of their graphics. I often find myself preferring older games graphically because, although the fidelity is lower, none of the assets blend into the background and it's easy to take note of details in the environment.
Things blending into the background could make some games better. I play a game called Stalker Anomaly. A graphics setting can make the grass look like it’s well maintained and cut vs making it seem like it’s grown out of control. It’s 100% more terrifying if you can’t see the monsters because they blend into the tall grass.
Finally someone that agrees with me with Motion Blur. Everyone hates film grain but my friends think I'm weird for always turning off motion blur if I can. It's literally just vaseline on the lens to replace the feel of speed. If the game is fast, my eyes will "motion blur" for me. F-Zero GX ain't got no motion blur and looks tight as hell with it's speed.
i can understand a game having bad graphics and be fun but what i dont understand is how a game can have legendary graphics and shitty missions like assasins creed
They would be more fun if they aren't open-world. Like the open-world in AC games in really bland and lifeless (AC4 gets somewhat of a pass just because of sea shanties.)
3:04 It's not just that it's automated animation. It's the lazy, insipid camera over the shoulder shot of two characters talking to each other. If you go watch Red Letter Media's unparalleled deconstructions of the Star Wars prequels, Mr. Plinkett points out how insanely often they use that technique. No scene composition, just hours of characters talking to each with cameras over their shoulders.
It is surprising how much directing/editing can bring to something as simple as a back and forth conversation! It's something I'm unlikely to notice but can always feel.
It started when dialogue got animated: old games like Fallout 1/2 or Baldur's Gate had text boxes, sometimes talking heads. When doing 3D dialogue in games like KOTOR and Mass Effect, you get generic dialogue angle by default and then hand-tweak it later. In games done well like Mass Effect 2 or Dragon's Age Origins, you don't notice that, but it shows when there's too much dialogue and not enough work-hours on directing every cutscene.
Listen to the developer commentary for Team Fortress 2. listen to all the thought and effort that went in to making the characters (who are almost the same color as the environment) pop out of the background and become effortlessly and instantly noticeable to the player. Not only that, but each class is instantly recognizable just from the silhouette and the colour and pose pulls the player's eye to the weapon they're holding allowing for so much information to be communicated in just a glance. Graphics are not just making the game look pretty, it's an important tool to convey important information and I'm glad Dunkster brought up the Halo example.
similar situation with L4D -- the developer's commentary in L4D1 is completely fascinating, and they discuss that they went through a very similar process, so each of the character's profiles stands out starkly compared to the background and to the hordes of zombies
0:25 I think that’s why even though I’m used to modern shooters, whenever I go back to play one of the classics like half life or Halo CE, I tend to have a more fun time. It’s less complicated and I can just focus on the shooting and puzzle solving rather than trying to figure out what things are. Same with TF2 come to think of it
I believe he's talking about the blur with cameras, because they can't process everything at once, usually unlike our eyes unless you're moving extremely fast.
A lot of older games hold up on the graphics department if they had good art direction and were not relying on the gimmick of shiny new tech to distract you
Dunkey is extraordinarily skilled at saying a lot and making a fantastic, concise point in a very small amount of time. I walked away from this video with a new understanding of graphics in video games and it was only 4 fucking minutes
It is a mixture of satire and informational points. Some of the points brought up might aid aspiring developers, for an instance, to rationalize the direction of their game design more intelligently. Some of the stuff is just there to make you laugh. Dunkey has always been like this, it's one of the great things about his content.
Super mario worlds the best mario game, the mario bros games were basic trash, so is the modern day marios, R.I.P the good old days of quality dood. :3
Speaking on film grain and motion blur, The Last of Us Part II really overdid it. I'm glad you can turn off motion blur but you can't turn off the awful film grain. Pretty stupid considering you can turn it off in photo mode. The functionality is there, they just refuse to give us choice. Worst part of console gaming by far.
I mean, at least with motion blur, I can understand why they do that for 30 fps games; they want the camera movement to look smoother than it actually is. I obviously don't think it's a good idea, I would prefer to be able to move the camera without sacrificing a significant amount of visibility, but I can see why they do it. What benefit does a game get from having an artificial film grain effect? My only guess is maybe making it feel a little more like a campy B-movie if that was the intent, but otherwise, it doesn't really add anything.
at least with pc games there r mods to remove these effects but still... nobody wants to download a mod to change a setting that everbody hates tl begin with
@@hussy5289 As luck would have it they finally enabled the ability to turn off that blurry shit mess film grain, and the game is all the better for it. Still, it should have never been forced in the first place. Kinda wish I waited to play it after the patch, but by then the game would have been spoiled for anyone with an internet connection. Oh well, at least I still enjoyed the game enough to play it again.
In my opinion, games with more cartoony graphics are more likely to age better than games that are trying to look as realistic as possible. Take Super Mario 64, for example. The graphics look primitive, sure, but they still hold up because making it look realistic wasn't a priority. Then you take something like the original Half Life games. Great games, but boy have they not aged well in terms of graphics. Not saying realistic graphics aren't welcome in gaming, but you have to at least pick an art style that isn't just "let's push the graphical limitations as much as we can to make it look as realistic as possible". It's style over substance, basically.
Yeah. Realism in video games has come a very long way in a very short time. It is constantly improving and they are constantly finding new ways to torture graphics cards with things like shading, anti-aliasing and whatever else. You can kind of take some shortcuts in graphical design if realism isn't an priority.
@@colton.421 I'm not a fan of the high amount of light bloom they added to it. I preferred when everything was cell shaded as the style felt consistent.
If you want good graphics, just play bad rats, I believe it was made on the frostbite 12 engine and it's AI has even passed the Turing test. Truly a m a s t a p i e c e
@@Baconator2558 okay so it’s from an interview with Jerry Rice about his Wii football game about his dog. Hope that helps. It’s really really fucking funny.
"Is that an enemy or a lens flare?" They should have tightened the graphics on Level 3. Seriously though, I hate lens flares. Maybe it's understandable when you character has a helmet with a visor or something, but it sucks when your character apparently has some sort of hallucination every time they look towards a light.
When I first heard that part "enemy or lens flare" I laughed but when I thought about it, I remembered lens flare made me think enemies were there too and I thought enemies were lens flare at one point in history as well. Without ReShade on PUBG, I have a lot of trouble seeing people.
Lol. This is why I love Fromsoft games. The characters are barely animated yet they feel so alive, thanks to the impressive writings and art direction from the developer
Yes! I loved that game when I was younger. Lots of people shit on it because Pacino didn't do the voice, but I loved the empire building aspect, and even the story was interesting. Honestly the best sequel to the film that could exist.
The more realistic the graphics, the better the game. I mean just compare Fortnite to Minecraft. wait no no no. Um... compare Tetris to Call of Duty. okay maybe a more direct comparison. Halo 1 to Halo 5. shit
EG - XXFurkanXX The more realistic the graphics, the better the game. Just compare rdr2 to zelda breath of the wild i mean you can totally see that rdr2 is better, wait no never mind....
@@novinka19I love RDR2 but that game is not flawless! The gunplay is from GTA 4, the mission structure are old school, and some parts of the story drag for too long. Breath of Wild isn't flawless either, neither is God of War with it's reused mini bosses and very average RPG implementation!
They actually made the characters more expressive in their dialogue in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds. Which means the devs actually realized their problem and corrected it
@@ratchetexperience8379 I'm so pumped to see what the storyline will be. I hope the ps5 does it the justice it deserves. Even though it was phenomenal to begin with.
@@apathydisastrophe Phenomenal? The game is average at best. it's a polished, fleshed out tech demo, nothing more. The game is dull, uninteresting, unoriginal and boring for the most part
SiriusTexra Witcher 3 is *most* certainly not an awful game. Although the dialogue animations can get stiff and robotic at times, the game does have like 80 hours of content, of course they can’t have motion capture for the face animations.
modern triple-AAA graphics are also often too dark...can make playing an eye-straining chore: you end up increasing the gamma but then the shadows look broken.
No matter what you do in any CoD game 2008 onward, you'll never be able to tell what direction you're getting shot from or where the enemy actually is (sometimes it looks like bullets coming from literally just a bush with no gunman) because of how washed out things are, motion blur, high contrasts, shadows, etc.
there are sections of certain games that i just cannot play because i end up blindly stumbling into walls even with brightness and gamma at 100% Like i understand that you're very proud of your moody lighting but i ain't trying to play a blindness sim
You forgot to mention GTA 4. You make a 90 degree turn with a car and boom! You can't see for shit, you will hit three pedestrians, five cars and Roman before the camera have adjusted to look ahead of where you are going.
Gypsy more or less, yes but GTA 4 is by far the game that suffers most from this. It happens way less often in San Andreas for example, most of the time it works ok. In GTA 4 it happens all the time. My point is that the camera should not be something that adds difficulty to the game.
In the TF2 developer commentary, I remember that they tried hard to give each of the 9 classes a distinct silhouette so you could tell very quickly what kind of class you just encountered.
I really hate Motion blur because our eyes already blur together fast images. Why should we bother emulating a human flaw that already effects gameplay without any fancy programming?
because frame rates aren't high enough for the human brain to properly merge the frames into motion blur. Oh that and since the screen is flat there is no depth dependency for it so it looks unrealistic when our brains do it
HOWEVER it would work flawlessly in a few generations of VR without motion blur, and this is only for objects moving across your vision, not turning your head
Motion blur was created back during the 5th generation (ps1, n64) to compensate for low frame rates, which happened as a result from the step from 16bit to 3D and its just stuck ever since.
it makes a bit more sense when it's a game like Ocarina of Time that runs at fucking 5 frames per second or some shit and without motion blur your eyes will fall out of your face but with modern games it's just horrible to look at
MutantManFish You're completely wrongly, it was implemented to mask shitty frame rates and to help enhance the illusion of speed in faster paced games.
It's not that the game doesn't render blured objects, it's that when the camera moves and objects are loaded in the framerate slows and/or is easily shown by the fast camera movement. Motion blur makes the choppiness harder to make out.
For me it would be anti aliasing. I rarely see an effect when it is off compared to when it is x16. And when I do, it is so laughable minor that I might aswell turn it off to play the game with 86 to 126 frames rather than 43. It takes a-fucking-lot of ressources and it puts out next to nothing.
HELL SPOON That game is total chaos. Hard to appreciate the art style when the game is almost muddled by constant fire. Also costumes sort of muddled the individual designs of the characters
Ora Saikatsu While it can be chaotic, TF2 _is_ the rock that Overwatch was built on. The characters have extremely distinct designs and silhouettes, allowing you to identify the character immediately, despite the chaotic gameplay. I do agree on the costumes though, at least it's mostly hats.
but halo 1 is in space.. which is black.. so its effectively night too.. just indoors, inside a space ship... anyway, night or day aside, halo 1 still looks ten times better, the clarity and sharpness.. the lack of stupid clutter and depth of field and lens flare and bloom and shit... its just better. they 100% overdo it these days.
The best thing about Dunkey videos is that every time you watch a new upload, you always feel that slight tinge of awe that you actually, genuinely enjoyed the content you just watched and feel compelled to give a like despite not being asked.
Eh. Dunkey is incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY, biased about certain things though. I mean yeah, all critics have bias, but would you trust a car review from a man who explicitly says he passionately dislikes cars? I take dunkey's reviews and critiques more like a vlog of his opinions than anything, and would not decided whether I would buy a game or not based on what he says.
To many people these days forget the main purpose of graphics in games; to see what's happening. It's good that you talk about it. 0:20 For Halo 5 it has a painting-like look that makes it nice to glance at, but it's just not practical for this type of game. Maybe they should have had this just for screenshots. This kind of look works well though for adventure games like Heavy Rain.
yeah, they have tooooo many post process effects in modern games. you cant see shit. halo 1 literally looks better in this comparison, and that should be a disturbing realisation.
Halo 1 would've looked like that if they had the tools right now, Halo 2 remastered is pretty much the perfect example of how a halo game should look. Then again some people like the gritty halo games with darker colours. Everyone had that 2007 edge phase
I love that someone finally someone pointed out that games can feel to cluttered. There's just too much shit going on and you can't pay attention. For example - Alex legends
As a compositor for film/tv, I love when I get the go ahead to munge everything up with glows/flares/grain/camera shake and motion blur/lens effects. But keep them out of my games please. Cannot agree more on how great League and Overwatch's visual clarity is.
Have you ever seen a League Team fight? A lot of League players and commentators have no fucking clue whats going on in them, there's even a video of a league UA-camr and his friends competing and getting a point if they guess one thing that happened in the team fight correctly. Meanwhile, Dota commentators give the most detailed ass play by play of the team fight

@@chaotickreg7024 On some games this still works to identify interactive objects because they don't take on the lighting of their environment lol
It depends. Original Tomb Raider graphics were simplistic but objects were not highlighted: you had to explore and FIND where to go. The Anniversary remake, which is already old by modern standards, had modern graphics in the sense people didn't look like LEGO blocks. And I think they overdid with highlighting where you n eed to go and all climbable objects in white. Assassin's Creed (before they made everything climbable in Origins) had much better balance of not showing what you can climb without blending enemies into background (and also highlighting keys/interactive objects). But it depends on a genre. For action-adventure games you don't want too much railroading.
I'd say this mostly started in the late 2000's. I mean some of the CoD games were great, but holy shit it's like I'm playing a dusty, foggy greyscale because literally nothing has color. Now it can be like a JJ Abrams movie with 20 lens flares in 1 shot of gameplay and too many colors to count, but you still don't know what the fuck is the environment and what's shooting you.
This is one of the main reasons I don’t play modern games. Been replaying the Goldeneye Xbox remake recently and it’s reminded me what a good game should play like
3:07 - 3:16
Dunkey made a nice detail in his editing to show us that the format of talking to an NPC is the exact same in those 3 games.
@Kantznet no you didnt
@Stan Brule they somehow nailed he balance of camera cuts to default shoulder view in first two Mass Effects, then animated each dialogue by hand in 3, giving up on small talks (those are ingame without camera cuts), and I guess, burned out and decided to go back to KOTOR dialogue and one-NPC-model-per-race in Andromeda... I think Inquisition had the same issue? Still, alternative is reading a text box. I liked both Pillars and Greedfall. *shrugs* but I want another Mass Effect or KOTOR.
One thing I appreciate about the 3D Mario games is that Mario’s shadow is always directly below him as a point of reference to where you’ll land, even in Odyssey which has more realistic graphics and shadows.

Point of the Video: Realistic graphics aren't important, good art direction, HUD clarity, and camera placement are! (Although, good graphics are still very pretty to look at.)
It's not that realistic graphics aren't important. It's entirely on the art direction. Uncharted has pretty realistic graphics and yet it still looks beautiful and clear.
Graphics are important and sometimes detrimental to how you experience the video game.
Aesthetics over fidelity.
+unkownada
Realistic graphics aren't important. They mostly just age worse.
I think a degree of surrealism is actually very much beneficial. Aside from the previously mentioned aging, I think it simply allows for more in the game itself. By aiming for realism you're also limiting how much you can do in the game world itself. The art director for Breath of the Wild said something along the lines off: "Try to aim for a degree of realism where you expect things to behave in a realistic manner buy where you wouldn't be surprised if they don't."
Realism is far from a necessity to be immersed but it puts a lot of limitations of what you can with the art direction.
+Manly O'ger is pretty right in my idea. Realism more than anything is a fairly straight forward degree to judge how good graphics are.
Again, it's on the art direction. Realistic graphics can age fine depending on how it's used. Uncharted and GTA might look a little dated today but they still work really well.
+uknowanda
It IS on the art direction but there's just no absolute benefit to realism, as you said "It's not that realistic graphics aren't important." I do have to respond with that they aren't, and I do think there's an inherent advantage to have a degree of surrealism is just a straight up advantage, not necessarily in how a game looks but in what gameplay it allows and how that would work with visuals.

I totally agree with your point regarding visual clarity from 0:20. So many modern games fail at this because they don't take into account the gameplay ramifications of their graphics. I often find myself preferring older games graphically because, although the fidelity is lower, none of the assets blend into the background and it's easy to take note of details in the environment.
Things blending into the background could make some games better. I play a game called Stalker Anomaly. A graphics setting can make the grass look like it’s well maintained and cut vs making it seem like it’s grown out of control. It’s 100% more terrifying if you can’t see the monsters because they blend into the tall grass.

Finally someone that agrees with me with Motion Blur. Everyone hates film grain but my friends think I'm weird for always turning off motion blur if I can.
It's literally just vaseline on the lens to replace the feel of speed. If the game is fast, my eyes will "motion blur" for me. F-Zero GX ain't got no motion blur and looks tight as hell with it's speed.
everyone I know knows that motion blur is the hell of graphics so I really just think you need new friends bruh
Aye your friends holding the next F-Zero game for hostage because it doesn't have motion blur?
Blink once for yes, twice for no
F-zero GX is gorgeous and doesn't need any artificial way to convey speed
Motion blur is needed in those games that run below 30 fps which usually happens on console.
Someone mentioning F-Zero GX in 2020 makes me very happy
i can understand a game having bad graphics and be fun but what i dont understand is how a game can have legendary graphics and shitty missions like assasins creed
tyler1 super say whatever you wanna say about assassin's Creed but it's a good franchise.
Or... have amazing graphics and be made by EA *cough* Battlefront 2 *cough*
Z1LL4 JR the franchise currently has more bad games than good ones.
First three games of AC is good story-wise, others are shit except AC4
They would be more fun if they aren't open-world. Like the open-world in AC games in really bland and lifeless (AC4 gets somewhat of a pass just because of sea shanties.)
3:04 It's not just that it's automated animation. It's the lazy, insipid camera over the shoulder shot of two characters talking to each other. If you go watch Red Letter Media's unparalleled deconstructions of the Star Wars prequels, Mr. Plinkett points out how insanely often they use that technique. No scene composition, just hours of characters talking to each with cameras over their shoulders.
It is surprising how much directing/editing can bring to something as simple as a back and forth conversation! It's something I'm unlikely to notice but can always feel.
It started when dialogue got animated: old games like Fallout 1/2 or Baldur's Gate had text boxes, sometimes talking heads. When doing 3D dialogue in games like KOTOR and Mass Effect, you get generic dialogue angle by default and then hand-tweak it later. In games done well like Mass Effect 2 or Dragon's Age Origins, you don't notice that, but it shows when there's too much dialogue and not enough work-hours on directing every cutscene.

@@theirongoomba1400 mmmhhHHHHHHHH not so sure about that
I'm glad they told me that because I wouldn't have been able to figure it out otherwise.
Listen to the developer commentary for Team Fortress 2. listen to all the thought and effort that went in to making the characters (who are almost the same color as the environment) pop out of the background and become effortlessly and instantly noticeable to the player. Not only that, but each class is instantly recognizable just from the silhouette and the colour and pose pulls the player's eye to the weapon they're holding allowing for so much information to be communicated in just a glance.
Graphics are not just making the game look pretty, it's an important tool to convey important information and I'm glad Dunkster brought up the Halo example.
salmon taxi yeah then hats
unusual hat+unusual taunt+unusual professional killstreak weapon+confusing colored cosmetics=cancer
and then they fucking ruined everything they worked so hard for by adding crazy ass cosmetics
“What does that sniper’s hat do?!?”
similar situation with L4D -- the developer's commentary in L4D1 is completely fascinating, and they discuss that they went through a very similar process, so each of the character's profiles stands out starkly compared to the background and to the hordes of zombies

"motion blur is more realistic" - some nerd who has had bad eyeball vision since birth and has also never been outside
That blur happens in real life only if you are spinning your head like a spaz
No one likes motion blur. The few that does are people who can't get a constant FPS and has to hide their low framerate with blur.
Realistic for cameras
For some reason, almost all games treated the viewpoint as a camera
I believe he's talking about the blur with cameras, because they can't process everything at once, usually unlike our eyes unless you're moving extremely fast.

Speaking on film grain and motion blur, The Last of Us Part II really overdid it. I'm glad you can turn off motion blur but you can't turn off the awful film grain. Pretty stupid considering you can turn it off in photo mode. The functionality is there, they just refuse to give us choice. Worst part of console gaming by far.
I mean, at least with motion blur, I can understand why they do that for 30 fps games; they want the camera movement to look smoother than it actually is. I obviously don't think it's a good idea, I would prefer to be able to move the camera without sacrificing a significant amount of visibility, but I can see why they do it. What benefit does a game get from having an artificial film grain effect? My only guess is maybe making it feel a little more like a campy B-movie if that was the intent, but otherwise, it doesn't really add anything.
at least with pc games there r mods to remove these effects but still... nobody wants to download a mod to change a setting that everbody hates tl begin with
@@hussy5289 As luck would have it they finally enabled the ability to turn off that blurry shit mess film grain, and the game is all the better for it. Still, it should have never been forced in the first place. Kinda wish I waited to play it after the patch, but by then the game would have been spoiled for anyone with an internet connection.

In my opinion, games with more cartoony graphics are more likely to age better than games that are trying to look as realistic as possible. Take Super Mario 64, for example. The graphics look primitive, sure, but they still hold up because making it look realistic wasn't a priority. Then you take something like the original Half Life games. Great games, but boy have they not aged well in terms of graphics. Not saying realistic graphics aren't welcome in gaming, but you have to at least pick an art style that isn't just "let's push the graphical limitations as much as we can to make it look as realistic as possible". It's style over substance, basically.
pgj1997 What? The first one, not so much, but Half-Life 2 aged like wine.
Even the character models and animations look great, especially Alex when she's standing to talk to the player
Yeah. Realism in video games has come a very long way in a very short time. It is constantly improving and they are constantly finding new ways to torture graphics cards with things like shading, anti-aliasing and whatever else.
You can kind of take some shortcuts in graphical design if realism isn't an priority.
HL2 looks ok, but I guess that's only because I was there when it happened.
I mean I don't even think Jedi Outcast / Jedi Academy looks bad.
The 19th Fighter
I first played it two years ago and it looks good. It's pretty clear and sharp but that's also because of the update.
Thats why Wind Waker aged so well
And then they made Wind Waker HD, which makes the game look even better and more timeless than it already did

"Is that an enemy or a lens flare?" They should have tightened the graphics on Level 3.
Seriously though, I hate lens flares. Maybe it's understandable when you character has a helmet with a visor or something, but it sucks when your character apparently has some sort of hallucination every time they look towards a light.
When I first heard that part "enemy or lens flare" I laughed but when I thought about it, I remembered lens flare made me think enemies were there too and I thought enemies were lens flare at one point in history as well. Without ReShade on PUBG, I have a lot of trouble seeing people.

modern triple-AAA graphics are also often too dark...can make playing an eye-straining chore: you end up increasing the gamma but then the shadows look broken.

I really hate Motion blur because our eyes already blur together fast images. Why should we bother emulating a human flaw that already effects gameplay without any fancy programming?
because frame rates aren't high enough for the human brain to properly merge the frames into motion blur.
Oh that and since the screen is flat there is no depth dependency for it so it looks unrealistic when our brains do it
HOWEVER it would work flawlessly in a few generations of VR without motion blur, and this is only for objects moving across your vision, not turning your head

Some people get motion sick, so it’s automatically on
Man Halo Infinite developers were watching a lot of dunkey videos
Motion blur was created back during the 5th generation (ps1, n64) to compensate for low frame rates, which happened as a result from the step from 16bit to 3D and its just stuck ever since.
Even then in Uncharted 4 in the side by side comparison you can see the choppyness from the low fps compared to the motion blur being on
it makes a bit more sense when it's a game like Ocarina of Time that runs at fucking 5 frames per second or some shit and without motion blur your eyes will fall out of your face but with modern games it's just horrible to look at
MutantManFish You're completely wrongly, it was implemented to mask shitty frame rates and to help enhance the illusion of speed in faster paced games.
It's not that the game doesn't render blured objects, it's that when the camera moves and objects are loaded in the framerate slows and/or is easily shown by the fast camera movement. Motion blur makes the choppiness harder to make out.

Miguel Sáez To each their own. Initially, I wasn't a fan of him either. His voice definitely took a little getting used to lol.
FaeriichanII i dont
Kazuya's reveal for SSBU had me coming back to this video for the occasional Tekken clips and holy shit dude these look. Terrifying
You are the only game critic I can take serious.
watch some altf4games
And angry joe
And Projared.
Eh. Dunkey is incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY, biased about certain things though.
I mean yeah, all critics have bias, but would you trust a car review from a man who explicitly says he passionately dislikes cars? I take dunkey's reviews and critiques more like a vlog of his opinions than anything, and would not decided whether I would buy a game or not based on what he says.
i agree. dunkey is no less a game critique than pewdiepie in many regards
Waiting for dunkhead.
Edit: The wait is over! Thanks for the likes btw.
Not waiting for dunkhead cos dunkey is black
Crusader Adonis same
ditto
Same
i kinda want a Dunkview on Cuphead
To many people these days forget the main purpose of graphics in games; to see what's happening. It's good that you talk about it.
0:20 For Halo 5 it has a painting-like look that makes it nice to glance at, but it's just not practical for this type of game. Maybe they should have had this just for screenshots. This kind of look works well though for adventure games like Heavy Rain.
yeah, they have tooooo many post process effects in modern games. you cant see shit. halo 1 literally looks better in this comparison, and that should be a disturbing realisation.
Halo 1 would've looked like that if they had the tools right now, Halo 2 remastered is pretty much the perfect example of how a halo game should look. Then again some people like the gritty halo games with darker colours. Everyone had that 2007 edge phase
I love that someone finally someone pointed out that games can feel to cluttered. There's just too much shit going on and you can't pay attention. For example - Alex legends
Not to be confused with Apex Legends
you should give respawns other game ago Titanfall 2 its much easier to pay attention to stuff in it
Did I just hear Night in the Woods music? Once again Dunkey proves to be a man of good taste.
Exactly, right?
As a compositor for film/tv, I love when I get the go ahead to munge everything up with glows/flares/grain/camera shake and motion blur/lens effects. But keep them out of my games please. Cannot agree more on how great League and Overwatch's visual clarity is.
They are awful everywhere.
Have you ever seen a League Team fight?
A lot of League players and commentators have no fucking clue whats going on in them, there's even a video of a league UA-camr and his friends competing and getting a point if they guess one thing that happened in the team fight correctly.
Meanwhile, Dota commentators give the most detailed ass play by play of the team fight
H3 sent me here. I saw your interview on the h3 Podcast. I loved you and your fiancee's personalities. I saw the Rob Williams goof, and had to check you out. Well, I have seen a couple videos and really digging the content so far. I have subscribed and turned post notifications on!

Ironic how when graphics get better it's harder to tell what the fuck you're looking at
I only play mario 64 for the graphics. Fuck the gameplay! Just sit there staring at Peaches castle .Just look at them polygons!
Back in the day N64 blew my mind.
Fuck you johnjohn

Nah... he makes some ridiculous points in the beginning of the video. its one of my least favorite...
The ps1 Tekken, Tekken 2 graphics always freaked me out as a kid. Those face animations are just disturbing!😳
dunkey praised league? he’s not fuckin around.
He's also still secretly playing
dunkey is coming back the year tyler1 gets unbanned
Kachulu weeb
Dota is a mess
He used a clip of Dota from 2013 at the latest (old Storm Spirit and Venomancer models) in the middle of a teamfight, compared to a clip of two champs passively farming in League, which is also quite recent judging by that Lux skin
Dundey PLEASEEEEEE do a full video of you playing the Scarface game exactly like that
Bas_ Lightyear under rated comment
The Scarface one is hilarious
"Knack 2 on the other hand" Here comes the money
