You see, Machine? By sacrificing your polygons, you are gifted with frames.

[@Haydenwern4113]

But that doesn't make sense. It would take up more processing space to use ai to artificially lower the poly count

[@ggburnitup4055]

Prime example: Sonic Unleashed, the model killed it on the ps3 and 360

[@Nalamac_CS]

​@@Haydenwern4113no it does make sense since the textures already uses a low polygon count i.e makes the game faster

[@Haydenwern4113]

@@Nalamac_CS the game is talking about real life tho, yes if it was talking about pixle count yes that would make it faster, but in terms of poly count wouldn't it make more sense to use the direct video as lowering the poly count would require manipulation of the video which requires processing in real time which is even more taxing on the cpu. So in conclusion im right

[@okkoheinio5139]

​@@Haydenwern4113 wait you think lowering the polygon count is done in real time and not to the actual model? 😂 Ok I'm not that familiar with this, but it sounds insane to me to do it any other way.

It's kinda weird how, despite all the new graphics, I genuinely prefer the kinda okay older stuff. It's like all these innovations have just created a ton of visual clutter.

[@sundaybrunch1400]

Definitely, a lot of games now just add lines and polygons wherever they see empty space, back them it was much more focused and everything was actually planned out, because, of course, graphical constraints were a thing. Everything had a purpose. Now, not so much

[@CybernerdShua]

Exactly. Heck, the poly count wasn't really the big change but rather the lightning effects like bloom and reflections that make the image more beautiful but a lot less crisp, clear, and focused.

[@alberth8125]

Theres something beautiful about the simplicity in older games.

@Lazys The Dank Engineer higher poly count is not a problem. The trend of going everything full pbr and "realistic" there is a lot of high poly games today that looks FANTASTIC But the search for "realism" makes everything boring

[@patrickiamonfire965]

Having high polygons can require high computing and processing power meaning more lag and loading time. They take more memory spaces while not as much as audio but since asset’s requires polygons there many of them to process. They also make it really huge pain to animate. Really time consuming. They improve the texture quality but having low number but well placed polygons can do the same and with better performance. Polygons aren’t as important as some gamers think there are.
