"woah, it cannot be any more realistic than this! " -random gamer on Doom, 1993

[@Libertas_P77]

To be fair, no. Even back then Doom was known for being exceptionally ‘chunky’ and blocky compared to 2D games, so gamers we were aware of its limitations, but also blown away by the first proper first person FPS (Wolfenstein aside).

@@spyware1100 ok sure, but that one you gave isn’t a great example as even for the time it was very blocky, low res and nobody said it couldn’t be more realistic. You’re not wrong that’s churned out a a phrase constantly nowadays though.

[@JudgeՏamson]

Paid $7 for the mod so you don't have to. Yet another mod that only looks good in faux videos and not in actual playthroughs. The contrast and saturation is so high it destroys the look of the game. Would be nice if any of these "ultra realistic" mods were good for anything other than screenshots.

1:56 is literally INSANE. Foliage is a thing that is so difficult to produce good shadows on through typical raster rendering because of low shadowmap and AO resolution.

@@cryonic. The entire dev team left the studio a year before CP2077 released due to abuse from the higher-ups. No one knows how to build upon the redengine other than the team that built it, and it was 2-3 years out from being finished when the game released early (which is why the state of the game is in such bad shape). CP2077 was a major failure of development.

Playing cp right now with those mods and 4080 (and 4k 65 inch tv) so its not as smooth but looks almost exactly like in the videos.

this is not just path tracing, the reshade makes everything look more realistic, in terms of color saturation and brightness, maybe try that and you should get a satisfying result

@@celeste579 I know... goodness me if I was ever waiting to play with path tracing! 😅To be honest if I can't play it just like how this video shows I'm not interested in buying it, that's the whole point isn't it?

I can't take these seriously anymore since I learned the "overcast weather hack". Basically it makes the lighting simpler, everything just kind of "glows" or has uniform lighting. It's also what we see in reality, but still it's a hack to make a scene look realistic only in a particular lighting setup.

There's several scenes with bright sunny lighting or during night-time, all of which look incredibly realistic. What you on about?

[@AniRayn]

@@SwurvGaming I'm curious what do you think I'm coping with. As if it makes me happy that games can't yet achieve proper realism without color hacks. The problem, by the way, is not the hacks themselves as much as it's their limitations. Another "hack" is the usage of desaturated and washed out colors, basically lowering the overall contrast. This helps to trick our vision and not get quickly distracted by high-contrast details that give out the fakeness of it all. I see it in both "blue skies" and "night shot" moments, but feel free to mention timestamps where you think it still looks realistic, even without cloudy weather.

Yeah, I tried this setup a while ago, and at first, it was just crash after crash. Once it finally loaded, it ran at like 30 FPS, even on a beast of a machine. Honestly, it felt like you'd need a NASA-level PC just to get a few seconds of smooth gameplay before it starts stuttering all over again.
