Quality bread op

They really are wobbly

PS1: Impressionism

>wind-swept models
>excellent quality of light

PS2 and onward: Romanticism
>dull colours
>rigid models
>mainly overcast lighting with lower contrast

Hm no

How come low poly graphics with low resolution pixelated textures became an "aesthetic" years later while filtering is just considered ugly? It seems a bit unfair and arbitrary

>>8406551
It's simple. Pixels look nice. Blurred textures do not.

>>8406539
a butchered port isn't exactly a strong point

>people actually having faces
Good joke

>>8406359
>[console] era

>>8406551
It`s pretty safe to bet that anybody would have agreed filtered textures looked better back in the day except for a bunch of exceptions, but once the 6th generation came along and carried the same principle simply increasing complexity, the N64 visuals graduated to being simply a "worse" version of the standard.

Low-poly with visible pixels became an aesthetic the same way that "pixel art" was elevated from simply being a technical necessity; all that's required is a dramatic enough technological leapt to disconnect a certain set of merely practical traits and grant them self-contained value beyond that of a simple evolutionary stage.

>>8406359
PS1 had more sovlful graphics than N64 and PS2
Change my mind
You can't

>>8406359

This board is so slow that if you get page 11'd it was deserved

>>8406818
ps2 shits on ps1 and n64. the ps1's graphics were always shit but it was better than nothing during a time when just a 3d capable video card with a few mb of ram cost hundreds of dollars.

perspectiva incorrecta

>>8406551
>while filtering is just considered ugly?
it was absolutely hideous when the n64 launched and nothing has changed. nintendo's hardware designers didn't have a choice. they went with the cheapest solution possible. if nintendo had given the machine more texture ram then it wouldn't have been an issue. another problem is that nintendo never shared the development manuals to program microcode for the gpu until the machine started dying in the marketplace, and they only gave this info to a handful of developers. nintendo tried to keep the microcode secrets to themselves so only japanese developers had an edge where their games look better than everyone elses. seriously, fuck nintendo and the cucks that keep supporting these retarded and racist japs.

Another World

>>8406823
fucking sides

PS1 games look better than N64 games, get over it. Your beloved card company messed up with the specs and created a million of bottlenecks that worked against the overall visual department.

console warring is very gay.
5th gen in general is very iffy, the wobbly textures on ps1 aren't really good, nor "aesthetic", they are annoying, as is the blur on N64.

Saturnbros... we won. History will vindicate us.

I just don't like that smudge shit from 64, mgs1 looks awful on pc

hoooolyyyy shiiiiit, this would've been primo coom material if i knew this existed/was alive back then
what's the name of this game? it actually looks fun and i've never seen a game focused on that sport, I wonder if more exists...

PS1 graphics don't suffer from this problem for numerous reasons. Your screenshot is a great demonstration.

lol, do a ps1 and zeebo version

I've been saying this for years, OP BTFO sonyfags.

>>8406975
Yeah on the ps1 those would be wibbly wobbly

Also nobody thinks that tree looks bad

>>8406551
Imagine a painting with clean, sharp lines composing the image.
Now imagine smearing it with vaseline while the paint is still drying.

Neo vr really is just slow v.
So sad.
This used to be a good board back in 2014 or so.

>>8407083
Fuck off and die

>>8407087
This. Not my consolewarinos! Let me console war in peace! It's all I have...

>>8406551
Pixel art (really just pointillism) looks good, and that's what unfiltered textures are

Filtered textures are a technical compromise, anti-art

>>8407115
This anon thinks he's an authority on art and design.

>>8406934
PS1 wobble can be fixed with emulation. You can't fix N64 smudge without making totally new assets.

>>8407083
And yet you will still browse here anyway. Sad!

>>8407131
Honestly, less and less.
I'm bored as fuck at work right now, very chill day, but I don't browse this shit in my free time anymore.

>>8407136
You're literally browsing here in your free time right now. You're clearly love bathing yourself in cesspools.

>>8407140
Free time? I'm getting paid right now.
Anyway, it seems my post bothered you a lot. You feel like you're part of said cesspool, and you'd be exactly right.
I'm merely observing and spitting at it.

>>8407147
>I'm merely observing and spitting from inside the cesspool I swear
No wonder you're here forever.

>>8407150
As I said, less and less. I used to browse this board everyday years back when there was good content and an older userbase.
And again, my post bothered you a lot, hehe

This kind of poster is in every group, no one likes him. He think he's different', but he's just "that guy"

>>8407123
I've played a lot of videogames and seen a lot of paintings

>>8407159
A guy who notices when a place has gone to shit due to demographic changes and a subsequent decline in quality?

>>8407165
Oh, pardon me, then. You're clearly very sophisticated and are totally qualified to be an art critic!

PS1 graphics is literally the most SOVL

>>8407171
thanks man I consider myself a connoisseur

>>8406973
They're not allowed to do that anymore

>>8406813
I think people would've taken it if it meant there would be no polygon wobbling, which the PS1 is infamous for, but otherwise, non-blurry always looks better. Not much different from 2D games.

DS graphics are where it's at. Perspective-correct textures at high vertex precision, but all completely free of blurs; the DS can't actually do that so nobody could muddy it, you get to see its enormous texture resolution in full clarity.

>>8407203
With non-filtered textures and optical storage, devs put a whole bunch of detail and care into their visuals. These hieroglyphics >>8407189 would be meaningless black smudges on N64 or even PS2 in a lot of cases.

Ignoring the XBR filter, see the super res on this texture in pic related. That is difficult to do on N64, especially if you're going for a vibe.

>>8407264
This is exactly why the N64 needed blur. This shit looks ugly as fuck.

>>8406389
This is the funniest post in the thread. I'm giving it the upvote it deserves.

>>8407189
Fpbp.

Obligatory.

>>8406563
Yea, I disagree. Hate pixelated wobbly shit. Plus the blurriness didnt look too bad in the CRTs of the day.

>>8407425
The N64 version controlled like garbage
