| curl-6 said: Honestly as much as I whinge about the wow factor no longer being there, the reduction in quantum graphical leaps is somewhat softened for me since, as a child of 4th and 5th gen who remembers having my mind blown by Starfox 64, there are Xbox 360 games that still impress me visually. Heck, even some Wii games still look nice in my book. As interesting as I find the tech side of things, art direction and performance are more important nowdays, I find. |
The one thing I hated about Gen 6 and 7 was the abuse of bloom. It was terrible and makes games look ugly to me personally.
It wasn't untill about half way through the generation when techniques like texture and mesh streaming... And the push towards baked shadow and lighting that games started to have a complex look.
Art does make the difference though, it really does.
