We need a whole thread on graphics trends that were meant to be cutting-edge but in hindsight are awful. |
I can't think of many, I doubt devs are sitting aroubd going, you know what we need more of, artificating from upscaling. It's a cool effect. Not sure what the deal with bloom was, seems like a tech issue cause it's not exactly hiding anything if that was the intent. I can only think of one, a short lived trend where there'd be a fake lens effect that cross the scene, Kojima particularly went nuts with it and added a little sound effect to the audio to go along side it. Weird trend, never looked as cool as they thought it did. They made good use of it in DMC5 though to hide some titties for the playstation version so it has functional uses.
