@dark1x @kijuler Too many people "mysteriously" gloss over the fact that a good chunk of PS3/X360 games ran like total ass. Whether we like it or not, *that* is how these games shipped and how millions of people played them, no amount of unofficial ports or next gen upgrades will fix that

@kijuler I think it's important context to consider. When you see people say "modern games run worse" or whatever and point to stuff from the PS360 generation - they usually omit the performance aspect, which was largely poor that generation. Like, sub-30 fps sometimes sub-20 bad.

No one ever played revisionist when it came to unleashed performance on launch consoles it's just that less and less people care because that version became obsolete 2 times now First with Xbox upgrade second with recompiled Why should I care it ran like that today
SunlitSonata Now On- Grandia2, Saros, HL2@serenade_sun

@IdiotResid10154 This reminds me of people who act like Sonic Unleashed’s graphics were worth the abysmal framerates it launched with when trying to play Revisionist using versions no one had at the time. And the PS3 version ran worse than this.

@MilKPoP447 A lot of those issues don't really matter nowadays, but people back then had absolutely valid reasons to be negative about the game tbh (it's one of my favorites, for the record)

@MilKPoP447 Origins' initial negative reputation makes a lot more sense when you consider the many bugs, the jankier combat, the dogshit optimization on both PC and consoles (especially 360 and Wii U, the latter also missing some content), the extremely deceptive marketing etc.

@PersonthePerso2 Lost World's Nintendo DLCs were great. Not just for the fanservice, they were genuinely pretty damn good levels: Zelda's might be one of the best stages in the game (I still liked Yoshi's but I'd be lying if I said I didn't mainly play that to get a shitton of lives lmfao)

@Arbiter_W Koei Tecmo watching other mainstream fighting games put rapists in the roster fully aware they paved the way with Raidou in Dead or Alive

@MerchantAncient @drCardus @Romy_Arths DMC4 did try to go for a realistic approach, actually. The thing is that this is seen in hindsight as to what 2008 allowed for "realism" compared to today. An example of 2 games from the same year.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: DMC5 being photorealistic has nothing to do with the RE Engine, it was purely an artistic decision made by the devs themselves. The four games below are made with RE Engine, for instance.

@MerchantAncient @Romy_Arths I think the forest is about the worst example one could make, it looks insane for 2008. Foliage, lighting, shadows, textures… just packed with realistic detail. I wouldn't blame someone who never played DMC4 if they thought it was from Far Cry lol

@figuresfan @Romy_Arths See, that's a criticism I can kinda understand. But it is important to realize that it's an environment design issue, rather than an artstyle issue. (And tbh, I do think that DMC5 delivered a decent gothic aesthetic in its first half thanks to Redgrave City)

@MerchantAncient @Romy_Arths DMC4 looked as realistic (if not more) than some of its contemporaries, once you go beyond the flashy clothing and hairdos

@MerchantAncient @Romy_Arths If you look at DMC4 models you can see a lot of details that show they were clearly going for a "lifelike" approach: wrinkles, skin pores, flexion creases etc. And, for environments, they opted (again) for photos of real life places as a basis for textures and architecture.
