You need people with 15 years of 3D experience and 2 degrees in art and 250 million usd to make this render.

Still better than low poly pixelshit made by indie studios in blender. At least they're trying to make something impressive on a technical level instead of settling for mediocrity by using outdated workflows and bad graphics and calling it a "style".

the only solution is to return to monke and write to the frame buffer directly yourself

they just grabbed wathever engine they could license and put some mid models on it, how is this impressive on a technical level?
A: It isn't

un ironically yes it will. games will reach an immersive level and itll be amazing. eventually art will be an even harder over saturated niche to earn a living... which will make art even better cause those who truly love it will continue it.
ai has been a win win honestly

replace "ugly people" with blacks and your statement is spot on

you know i thought of this as well, but consider this:
We are at an age now where we don't need to rely on pre-rendered cutscenes anymore, we can render the cutscenes in-engine at runtime now. So the quality of the silent hill character should be no problem by modern standards, i mean, look at the last of us. This is just a case of lazy devs.

non important characters I believe are generated at randomly, and don't have enough weighted sliders essentially causing a lot of mongoloids. I'm sure they will eventually patch it.
Eight years from now you all will be crying about how all characters look took perfect in Starfield 2, and reminisce about this game.... Fucking faggots.

I do believe we should respect the artist's vision instead of trying to better what is, by definition, perfection.
Pic related. The artist on the left, free from the shackle of wants and needs, shackles of vision, pure, did what he wanted to do - and needed to do. The ``Ameliorator`` on the right, who is simply a boor, a low IQ retard who tried to improve upon perfection, failed to improve over the 150+ kg redhead monster that was once created.
This is an important message. You pirates shan't be tolerated.

To reiterate, some fags do these bait videos where they turn down all the graphics settings and manipulate the mipmap lod bias to make the game look as bad as possible.
Now it certainly looks bad regardless, such as picrel from OP.
The reason for that is no subsurface scattering and missing shaders, those are unfinished models, which is just stupid when using a pbr engine.

What do you mean? Forward, non pbr rendering is not fake, its just different, just like an apple and a pear are different.

already elaborated on that here >>957298
It's still a bpr engine btw, you need pbr to aim for photo realism but don't need to and can stylize it.

if something is in the game, it is not fake. You can go to old games and turn down the settings and it will still look fine, because the game was well optimized. You should know this if you develop games.

They couldn't even bake their AOs properly. They're all at like 200-300%.
It's a dated studio using dated technology.
