yfw the mountain is red because the level is supposed to look like 1-1

[Anonymous No.8038378]

wow that geometry looks so weird with the camera panned that far back

[Anonymous No.8038380]

The mountain is red because it's dirt

Can't believe how big and expansive these levels used to look.

[Anonymous No.8038397]

it's brown you turd because it's dirt

[Anonymous No.8038439]

It's not red. It's brown.

This used to be the most revolutionary and incredible game ever and now it just looks like a bunch of polygons floating in space ;_;

[Anonymous No.8038449]

But 1 - 1 isn't red?? What is with you zoomers making up dumb connections where they don't exist?
1-1 was brown. Also it didn't look like the chef was being stingy with the cheese at your shitty pizzeria, it looked like brick blocks. If it was meant to look like 1 - 1, they would have made it a lot more obvious. Nintendo isn't really subtle about nostalgia wanking.

Every game looks like a bunch of floating polygons if you'll look at the level map from distance.

This may shock you but the game worlds are usually floating in black limbo surrounded by huge sky texture. There's nothing beyond the border :(

I don't see mason work on the ground. I see reddish-brown rocky ground. And I see a green hill that matches the grass. MY shitty pizzeria? I'm a zoomer? My ability to see matching colors is dumb? You're pizza analogy wasn't redundant? You're not unsubtle about being butthurt?

It still looks as good as ever to me, Anon. Think of it as an aesthetic, not an attempt to precisely mimic real life.

As you can see from the color values, the mountain's dirt is approximately as red as the lower sky is blue and the grass and trees are green. You are probably confused because most browns are predominately reddish colors, but as you can see from the color of the dark footpath, a "dirt brown" has a far lower % of red in it, more like 3:2:1 R:G:B.

Brown is a mysterious color.

[Anonymous No.8041368]

>>8041056
Wow anon thanks for taking the effort to bolster my point. I always thought the reddish color of that level looked weird to me. It stood out as odd and finally realizing it's approximately the same color as the ground in SMB was the first time the color choice of bobomb battlefeild made sense to my reasoning. I would have said the dirt path is unmistakably brown but claiming the mountain is not red is unreasonable.

Thanks for taking the effort but man, sorry but I still think those colors are closer to what people call brown than red.

When I first played VC it felt like the city was larger than the city I actually lived in with a population of 90k. Now I look at it and it'd take 5 minutes to walk across this map.

[Anonymous No.8041609]

>>8041289
It's basically dark orange (if you don't believe me put something orange in photoshop and adjust the lightness). I think the reason we see it as a different color is because brown is such a common color in nature whereas lighter oranges are quite rare, so for cognitive and survival reasons it makes sense to perceive it as its own thing for identification purposes.

[Anonymous No.8041635]

why the fuck does everyone post the sims 3 recreation of the vice city map instead of the real map?

[Anonymous No.8041648]

>>8041642
Why didn't you post the real map to end this?

[Anonymous No.8041667]

The town map for Megaman Legends seemed so massive as a chuld but it takes less than a minute, maybe two, to walk all the way through and around it.

Also the exploration hubs for Sonic Adventure. They seemed so much more massive as a kid. As an adult when I play them, they are just a straight path to the level and take less than 10 seconds to explore if you already know the path.

[Anonymous No.8041706]

>>8041648
you can fly around it on noclip.website if you want, the fact is that the sims version is the first 3d map that shows up if you google 'vice city map' so everytime someone talks about how small it is they end up posting that shit

[Anonymous No.8041718]

We still use them today. Perlin noise, for example, goes all the way back to the 80s. Even this ad is using what appears to either be PN, turbulence, or a mix of the two to generate inner-details.

[Anonymous No.8041773]

So you can end the torment of seeing the wrong one.

[Anonymous No.8041779]

>>8041773
torment? i just think it's funny that so called 'retro gamers' can't tell the difference between the game they supposedly know about and a game for women/pedophiles

[Anonymous No.8041887]

>>8041642
Because there are no good images of the real map saved on my PC. It still gets the point across.

Well OP, starting a bs thread was a fun way to find out you were colorblind at least.
