I still like the piss filter in certain games like COD Modern Warfare because it added to the immersion of being in an area that's overall deserted of civilians and emphasizes the scope and environment of danger.
It weird, we barely recognised the piss filter at the time. We complained about it if they stopped using it. We complained when some games did use it again. Now every game kinda looks the same and most of them are forgettable. I want the piss filter era back. 😢
The thing is that MW2, unlike some games, only featured the filter in certain levels. It's called color correction and it's a genuine art to get right.
for me, its like your friends older brother. i grew up on the wii, and never had anything like that. it was the games i never were able to play. playing some stuff in rpcs3 was making me feel kinda nostalgic for it even tho i didnt really play that much of these types of titles i feel like was pretty much dead by the time the ps4 and xbone came out, like the last of us and gta5 didnt have this
I never hated the yellow "piss" filter. But it was definitely overused and became a generic AAA thing just for the sake of it. I think it worked well with the atmosphere of games like Fallout: New Vegas, and fitted Deus Ex: Human Revolution (despite many people hating it). I think the original looks better than the directors cut version where they removed it. But in many other cases it just felt bland and uninspired like the current trend of generic unreal engine photorealism look which makes every game look and feel the same.
Human Revolution is a very big exception to the trend indeed, as the Black/Gold aesthetic is present in every corner of it's art direction. It is very telling that the DC you mention exactly has the filter restoration as one of the more popular mods - made by a very accomplished person to boot.
Style is bad, because it takes talent and time. It's better to just shit out an overly colorful turd with not a single thought put into the style of it.
Yeah skylanders was so good i regret selling all of mine but thankfully there are shops close by which still sell them and i have bought just a few to play the games again
4:42 I honestly prefer the beta lighting of Undercover where it was more Blue-ish and white. I still really like the concept of that sunsoaked 2000s music video aesthetic of Undercover. Black Box's NFS games had really solid art direction and color palettes if you ask me.
One gaming trope from the 2010s that i hope stays in the past are the forced walking/crawling sequences alot of the games had back then to hide the loading times. They were huge pace breakers
The other gaming trope from the 2010s that I want it back is loading times in cutscenes like in the original modern warfare trilogy, cuz I feel like games nowadays have loading times being separated from cutscenes, as opposed to them being together.
The "piss filter" was great and beautiful in most scenarios. Was it good in EVERY game? No. But most games used it well and it gets overhated just to be hated. It's useful for giving an artistic look to scenes. And also just good for the same reason even movies do this kind of thing, being that it's a game/movie. You can't use all five of your senses in something like this, and you can't always know everything. The visuals are one of the only ways to convey things, so you have to get creative with it. Use it as ways to feel the environment, to know the tone of how the situation feels. It's no different than how music when used right is used as introspection for a character's feelings whereas in a book where music/visuals aren't available, you get a direct look into the character's head. Different mediums have different constrictions and have different solutions for getting around them.
I think you’re right about the new style being just as good, but the early seasons of fortnite battle royale just had a charm that they never quite mastered sunce
I feel like talking about 2010s games between 2010-2019 as one group makes less sense to me than talking about the 2007-2013 period I feel like world at war and battlefield 4 have more in common than fortnite and any game of the early 2010s The industry has changed too much in that decade, especially since it has seen 2 different console generations, the impact of which have been massive on how games look, feel, and are overall built
i kinda find it funny you spoke about fortnite becoming more realistic and talking about its "necassary" evolution it went through between chapters but only showed scenery of chapter 4 (IMO the highest graphical/art style peak whilst still remaining true to its cartoony style aesthetic) i think its because we can all agree chapter 5 doesnt really feel or look that appealing in a fortnite sense yes its impressive just how much detail you can see in the grass or distant buildings pixel by pixel theres probably twice as much or 2000000x more then chapter 1 but not really that important within a fortnite context we players dont particulary care about how many pixels you can fit on a screen we just enjoy the overall vibe and feeling if we wanted a realistic experience we'd play pubg COD or h1z1/tarkov we came to fortnite because it was so bold and yet so different on every sense.
US wind waker hd box art is a nod to the original GameCube version’s box art in the US as well. It was all gold with an image of toon link on the king of red lions sailing.
I feel like 2010s wasnt the greatest decade of gaming as 90s and 00s gaming but at least there few great,fantastic and bad games out there. 2020s gaming may be slow or worst in the future.
I certainly don't miss the 7th Gen Piss Filter era. Some incredible games were released, but the grey/green/brown/yellow color pallette aged like milk.
I think distance has made the heart grow fonder for piss filters, as I recently played a ps3 game and because it wasn't the 10th piss-colored game I've played in a row, it was actually kind of refreshing.
Remember when horror games back then looked realistic and gritty? Examples being, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Slender: The Arrival, Outlast and Outlast: Whistleblower, Cry of Fear, Five Nights at Freddy's and maybe even SOMA? Now, we have shit like Garten of BanBan. Truly an evolution.
Bro mouthwashing, Faith: the unholy trinity, buckshot roulette, signalis, crow country, visage, slay the princess, and even iron lung like bro how the hell indie horror is dying it’s only the mascot ones that are trash and not the hidden gems so plz if you think that indie horror is dying then I think your a dumbass
Not every indie horror game is filled with mascots like looks at this we have mouthwashing, slay the princess, buckshot roulette, inscription, hollowbody, faith: the unholy trinity, crow country, signalis, visage, lethal company, killer frequency, in sound mind, carrion, iron lung, nightmare in decay, and heck even puppet combo/chilla’s art games are better than this mascot horror slop like c’mon man if you looked closely through the horror genre on steam you could tell that there have been a lot of creative, fun, and unique ideas of a unique horror games
@@LucidNightmarez oh ok sorry abt that I hate when people are sometimes mostly ignorant or just hate indie horror in general so yeah and many games have been popular throughout the years and also I’m sorry for not handling the joke
I actually loved the way the piss filter looked in New Vegas, and as a non-gamer (I play games occasionally and have been for many years, but I’m certainly not anything above casual) it wasn’t something I really noticed in other games before, but I do definitely understand how it can look out of place in other games and environments. I think it was a great tool, just overused and over saturated.
Haha The most recent GTA game being featured in a retrospective is hilarious. Reminder: GTA V came out more than 11 years ago. I was 19 when GTA 5 came out. Now I'm 31.
The piss filter actually does work in Fallout New Vegas with its post apocalyptic western type vibe. It's way more tolerable than the grayed out/ baby puke green aesthetic of fallout 3
The extreme piss filter making evething brown orange really destroyed my enjoyment of New vegas. I did it all tho. But I wiash it was colorful and also had some biomes
Honestly, I dont really give a shizz about the piss filter in games like the original modern warfare trilogy, since gameplay is all I care about, regardless of what the devs are doing with the graphics or filters.
Them video essayists cant think of anything else that's new that doesn't involve games being this and that cuz reasons lmao besides just making video essays about why minecraft is scary or something like that 😂
The culture war began. It started with DEI initiatives starting to take root in gaming, and then about the same time the ACTUAL gamergate controversy began, but what was initially unethical business practices soon got covered in a smokescreen of gender issues and racism false flags that created a witch hunt amongst the gaming industry and periphery industries tied up in the media. Society then went full retard after a certain business man won election in 2016 and everyone doubled down on virtue signaling leading to the explosive growth in consultants akin to Anita and SBI. This would reach a all time fever pitch around 2020 in time for the next election and truly show its colours during the pandemic when many would turn to gaming and realize that the 10s had long since passed. Fast-forward a few years and you now arrive at the current situation with games like DA: Veilguard, Concord, and Dust borne all vying to race to the bottom as the number one worst game. But all wait on your deep dive video on that. 😁👍 Excellent job on this video, and I look forward to the next. P.S. if you are looking for a good place to start doing research into the culture war. Start with Total Biscuit and his co-optional podcast who was reporting on the issue with journalists sleeping with game developers to get access to early information.
So basically, kids took over gaming media / marketplaces by storm, right? I mean, Skylanders, Fortnite, Minecraft, FNAFs, they just wrote it on the wall!

Agreed
