I mean, the answer is "because they were compressed to fit on a HD DVD", but you can still see this in the PC versions of games that came out in the seventh generation.

There's colour banding, crushed blacks and who knows what else going on with these things. PS2 cutscenes did not look as bad and they were in DVD quality.

I have to assume it wasn't this bad on the PS3. I mean, that's what the Blu Rays were for, right?

    That was when every game was brown, when all game covers became a variant of a silhouetted man walking with a gun

    This is still around and as far as I can tell Epic G!mers see that as "nonpolitical" and want more of it. :heated-gamer-moment:
