its cutting corners to make games run "better" instead of just optimizing it from the beginning.

This is literally why you need rtx 4080 ultranigger PC to see this coal raisin. Games should be more about gameplay and less about burning your eyes with this degenerate raytracing.

>There's a meme image somewhere out there showing this but game graphics really are just so raisin now. Nothing really stands out so even when developers try to make their games colorful, it doesn't really change anything like in your Mario Kart pic where it's still just a blend of pseudo-realistic vomit where you can't pick out an NPC from a tree. I'm not tech literate at all so I can't even tell you which exact piece of post-processing is responsible for this.
Always thought that handholding in videogames made for kids or braindead, discover things, game mechanics, world story and just playing as YOU want to play is always better than Ubi slop based games

>>26774In old games, the character models have the highest effort in term of details and quality while the environment is just an afterthought with some decals. Modern game's environment look too busy and over rendered. Visual spectacle over gameplay.

>>26776Again with this retarded mindset. Yellow paint is just a byproduct of "no handholding" retardation that youtubers have been spreading around. Instead of a basic tutorial with UI pops up telling you what to do, suddenly you have to " find clues through visual hints ". Suddenly environment have yellow paint, audiologs sprinkled everywhere containing the most obvious guides larping as an npc's last words. That's fucking gay and ruins the immersion.

I remember playing first half life, environmental storytelling with 0 hints, clear interface, just go forward, shoot and discover. Valve game design is national treasure actually.

It hides bad AA

the main reason is to hide an ugly game, for performance reasons, bad art reasons, or both. the second reason is to make dumb people think the game is bigger than it is. I almost can't stand playing newer games because they're so blurry and hazy at all times.

>>26716 (OP)It indeed looks bad and I'd rather play without that effect,
and probably they're mostly using to hide the bad-looking consequences of unoptimized trash game engines like UE5 and hide the nasty effects of the modern alternative to antialiasing of blurring-and-smearing (blurring the image and smearing frames together) and obscuring the worst-looking lowest-res textures that might be just 480p or even only 240p then upsized,
however there is an effect similar to that in reality; this effect:

Is it just me or modern graphics look so much worse, objectively? The in-engine cutscenes look good but when you see those same models in gameplay, they look creepy, blurry and blend in the environment.
