Atleast I can make out that the "grey and brown" game above is Killzone. Still don't know what the hell the pic below it is about.

So you are speaking from a purely artistic standpoint?

Are you being serious, or are you just playing with me? Nobody can make out the pic below the Killzone one, unless he knows the source. Its way too pixelated.

I can make it out just fine. It's 720p, so technically the 480p Killzone pic is more "pixelated". What I think you mean is that you find its aesthetic presentation harder to make out.

Ah wait, the page has reloaded for me and its now pixelated for some reason. Up until now my screen was showing a 720p screen. Let me fix...

Better?

No, the GoW2-picture is not 720p, it is a 200x113-thumbnail, so even a much smaller resolution than PS1:

Here is a better version:

And that game had quite a range of colors:

Up until a few minutes ago the pic you posted was what was coming up on my screen. Weird.

And while I like GoW2's visual style, that pic is certainly not what I would call a range of colours.



Definitly. Not all realistic looking games look brown/grey, but most do.

This is a discussion coming from how varied and colorful MK8 graphics are. Not quite sure why it needed its own thread.

Your insistence that Driveclub and FH2 were grey made me do it, though you weren't the only one saying this.

I posted pics from both the games you called grey, and the only thing which is grey in them are the clouds, the roads and the occasional grey paint on a car.



That argument usually only comes up for war-oriented games, or games that have a more bleak atmosphere/ setting. Killzone 2 was a perfect example. The color pallet seemed so limited because the planet Helghan was just such a dreary, dark, and polluted place that a grey/ black color scheme only made sense. Same applies to Gears 3 with it's mostly brown color scheme. Honestly I think people who care about color schemes are stupid. Jut play the damn game. If you want vivid color, go outside.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a game that is only grey/brown, no idea what those people are talking about.


This joke was born almost twenty years ago to mock Quake I and II, that actually were quite a lot grey and brown. Contemporary and previous FPS like Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 3D  were very colourful, OTOH, and more enjoyable and better overall too, once the awe for Quake's graphical advances faded away.
