The Order 1886 appreciation: Part 2
Let's give some appreciation for The Order 1886. It's 10 years old, hands down a lot more realistic & nicer looking than some modern titles.
The care, effort, craftmanship put into the visuals is stunning even 10 years later. Thanks DF for the gifs !

Man Stalker is a long game! Had a funny interaction with a door yesterday as well I was just so surprised how fast it was closing after you get out of its range.
It basically slams itself shut and it surprised me XD

So I've been playing Stalker 2 saturday evening & all day sunday. It's definitely a stalker game which is awesome, the visuals are alright! though overall quite noisy, ie the art content itself.
Some of the ground-clutter is just..ultra noise!
Having fun though!

I think it's weird that #DragonAgeVeilguard sometimes don't provide all the different personality/attitude options in dialogues. Forcing your character into behaving in ways you don't want.
Ie you cant have a stoic or tough character always behaving that way. The game doesn't let you.

When I talk about visual inconsistency in Dragon Age I'm basically talking about this:
If you look close at these images, nothing looks like it fits. Texel Density all over the place, noise-level all over the place, stylization, all over the place.
Scanned wood create, next to hand-made table.

Dragon Age Veilguard definitely has some visual consistency issues art direction wise (previous posts) since some of the stuff comes from scans and some of it is hand-made.
It kinda makes for a mixed-bag visually
Here is an example of Megascan usage.

This is a little bit funny too.
Not sure why one would do that rather than just scale the mesh to a point or something.
& also I'm sorry if I'm being overly negative about the game, its a good game its just not the quality I expected in many ways.

Example of like contrasting direction. Its too different. The pebble/rock texture is too detailed in this space. Its like so contrasty in every way its kind of annoying to look at.
I think we should be careful about this in general because its just giving TAA extra work for no good reason ^^

#DragonAgeVeilguard has some uneven art direction in some areas & I'm currently on the main path.
The noise levels are crazy on some of these assets. Like this normal-noise placed on all the terrain & some of these rocks, contrasted against the cleaner marble. There must be a nicer middle-ground.

You know in Mass Effect when you had off-time between missions you'd walk around the Normandy & actually have dialogues with your companions?
Yeah Dragon Age doesn't have that.
They just sit there sometimes talk to you & you dont respond.
Makes the game feel a bit stiff =/

Whenever you have dialogues that isn't with forced set companions, the companions never really weigh in with their opinions or say anything when you have dialogues with other people. You just randomly get "this person approves"
It's a bit weird tbh

This is such a time-capsule.
"Remember what games looked like 8 years ago?" , post that is 10 years old.
With a game that at glance just looks photo-realistic + has more physics interaction than most modern games.
We are focusing on the wrong things in game dev ^^

I've really been enjoying Rivals of Aether 2, it's seriously a beautiful game, runs really well and is a great platform fighter.
The movement is so smooth its crazy.
Unlike the first game this one feels more like smash which is pretty cool! The VFX alone are worth the money lol! :D

How #UE handles Lit Translucent Materials & their colors vs the Opaque/Masked counter-part is crazy.
I don't even know what the hell to think and how anybody can do Vfx and color matching in these conditions! xD
These are the same but left is masked, right is translucent.

The walk-up to the lighthouse is getting quite nice! I've always enjoyed doing solo-projects because having full creative freedom is just...gold. The only one I have to please, is me. XD

[posting this from twitter] Alrighty! Another day!
Yesterday we had quite a successful stream , showed some nice post-processing tricks for making some stylized art (gradient mapping using scene depth) & we managed to get up & running with the snowy biome for my side-project.
