Isn’t this mainly the problem of lighting and shaders? Even the best props will look disgusting in a shitty renderer or if they are not properly set up.

Idk if this is true, but I'm starting to feel like it is. That would be the only way to explain how I see some people getting jobs at Guerilla, Ubisoft etc. Their artwork is nothing special, but somehow they still get to work in big blockbusters.

I think there's some really solid talent in terms of the art team themselves at 343 (you can just buy good artists these days that's not a problem) the issue was mismanagement, tech debt and direction.

The E3 2018 reveal of it looks great because I'm sure the artists were just told to make something that looks cool, too many cooks in the kitchen is how you get OP.

That was exactly my point, I know people I don't wanna dox here that somehow managed to get there, and honestly their portfolio REALLY isn't all that amazing. There are young students out there that are publishing much better stuff in comparison.

Yeah but they followed the aesthetic of earlier halo games because that's what they think fans want, not because they actually want to make a game in that vein.

Lol nope, I didn't imply that at all

You guys are bitching about someone's baking skills while it is most likely a deliberate imperfection, like the other guy already said. From all the big problematic things in those screenshots you focus on some tiny autistic detail.

Because almost all detail is subconscious, nobody pores over details but they add up to an effect when viewed as a whole.

Nobody can tell you off the top of their head what pins roadhog has on him either. But all those things add up to a visual impression.

Where they fucked up is that it's extremely subtle all over the gun so you can't even see any of it unless the gun is nearly perpindicular to the sun lol.

You are fucking stupid. Baking artifacts are not deliberate imperfections, those would be put somewhere else on the texture. Someone was just incompetent or pressed with deadlines too much.

yes, let's ignore physics, map size, AI and high enemy count just because you didn't like the graphics style.
I don't want to make a /v/ debate here but this is Halo 3 all again; When Killzone 2 was announced most of the people thought that Halo was shit because the graphics in KZ2 were better. Years later Halo games still have better dynamic and more interesting gameplay and Guerrilla is focused in doing boring Ubisoft-tier open worls like Horizon.
If you like the best graphics go to see a CG movie, this is a videogame and videogames engines need to be balanced all the time.

most of good models you see in games are either of

1. the senior artist or the art director
2.everyone else makes the grass and stuff like that, juniors don't really make anything substantial

this looks like bad hire, or outsourced work

This was an old and stanky test build, they're not gonna run everything at full graphics or even hve most of them completed if they're making sure that the game itself works
