still look like crappy game graphics on a big uncanny valley spectrum.
The real issue is that they know what real human women look like, they just sincerely believe that women that they don't find fuckable shouldn't even exist, both in video games and in real life
penciling cosmetic surgery into my universal healthcare plan to get the gamer vote
the thing about graphical fidelity is you can't go fucking full hog anymore. Crysis is still remembered for it and people still mod that game to eek out some more shit. The rest of this? It could look like fucking Gothic 2 and be fine
the closer they get to 'photo-real' fidelity it somehow continually looks flatter and more soulless. it's either a statement about how real life looks or the conditions game-devs are under stifle creativity
but it really does distress my brainlobes how all the technology and energy going into something like these new spiderguys produces something less stand-out than third party people using lighting injectors and cheap tricks. a similar thing happens in film where unprocessed ultra hd digital cameras create an uncomfortable hyperreal effect, so that most Real Movies actually pare it down or use traditional film to, ironically, not look as cheap.
There's only so much you can do with photorealism because the expectations for animation and physics will continue to increase with level of detail. An NPC's nose hairs blowing in the wind means nothing if they occasionally clip through walls or their feet do not land on steps when they go up and down stairs.
Games that try to solve this are grating to play. Being locked in place to watch a canned animation while a character slowly shuffles across a chasm or climbs stairs or jumps a chest high obstacle over and over and over destroys immersion even though it looks "realistic" because you're losing control over your character multiple times in the span of 10 minutes
If you can imagine comunism. Instead of every game requiring thousands of hours to make functionally identical high resolution cups. People could just use the high quality cups thst exist and not have to waste hundreds of hours in making new ones
Another great example is the original version of Sleeping Dogs. The remastered graphics make the game look worse because the art style was so well done.
Broke: disliking mj because she's not pretty enough
Woke: disliking mj because she has a stun gun that can consistently one-shot enemies even on hard mode and yet she never even thinks to share this technology with either of the spidermans.
To be fair, there's also been a conscious effort to create female characters that look less like they were designed by very horny nerds in the year 2000
Aren't they hyper-religious too? Shouldn't they be thanking "woke" developers for not "tempting them into sin" or something?
Oh yeah, I forgot, they apply 'protects but does not bind vs binds but does not protect' to their religion too.
"everyone is sexy, but almost no one has sex"
I'm pretty sure someone has said this about fascist aesthetics before
she looks kind of like Laura Dern, a woman so ugly that she could never be in multiple blockbuster films
