I wonder if anybody can relate to my experience. Maybe it is just me showing my age but though I agree the visuals of modern games have become, much, more impressive I much prefer the older style.
Deus Ex is a good example. The original, maybe my favorite game, shows it age. Even at the time it wasn't the most impressive looking game. The environments are simple, must edges perpendicular etc. But it made everything very clear etc. It seems it was more easy to parse for me. Deus Ex:MD looks gorgious, but there is so much going on, everything looks so complex and cluttered that it feels way to busy for me. Also there is often a bluriness to modern games, I cannot quite put my finger on it but it seems it was filmed with a lense covered in petroleum jelly. I much, much rather see jagged edges.
- onli 3y agoThat bluriness might actually be the anti-aliasing, TAA specifically. Pcgamingwiki often shows how to replace it with smaa because of that. Doesn't annoy everyone, but some it does.
- MutableLambda 3y agoYeah I had the same feeling around the time MD was out, I think it was fixed by 4k and a bigger TV
- ioseph 3y agoI think it was the lighting, everything is so shiny and reflective gave the modern game this weird dreamlike feel whereas the original (also my favourite game which I replay every few years) feels dark and gritty
