Black Ops 2 head says future tech has to be 'authentic and plausible'

[QUOTE=goon165;36129081]he cropped it genius.

The graphics are dated get over yourself.[/QUOTE]

You're missing the point. Im not trying to say that they're not dated. Im just showing that they dont look 6 years old. They're dated but we dont have to scream that its a PS2 game when it still beats a lot of otger games.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;36126593]And a cutscene of all things should look nice, considering they're able to focus on rendering just this one cutscene, instead of all the complex things you see in gameplay.

And it's hardly that much of a zoom in, I noticed it before he pointed it out and so did he obviously.[/QUOTE]

What's all the fuss about, that scene is so involving and well animated I never noticed the low res jacket.

One thing that always bugged me about CoD. For a game based on shooting things, why do the weapon models look so bad?

god who gives a shit about graphics, seriously

for a game franchise that constantly sells itself with the same basic gameplay every single time, you people complain about how it looks far too much

I've never played a game and had the visuals were of such low quality as to distract or otherwise prevent me from enjoying it.

I didn't mean graphics, just overall design (if you meant my post).
Example I had anyway was a game I played recently. Killing Floor has what can be considered bad graphics, but the models look really good, and it all works.
Blops I enjoyed if only for the fact it wasn't unfathomably serious all the way through like other CoD games.
Best ending ever though? No way.

There's a difference between graphics and aesthetics. Graphically CoD is good enough, especially for the sacrifices that need to be made for consoles, but aesthetically it just looks bad. In the case of most CoD games, they have a limit on graphics, and despite these limits they don't try to change their aesthetics from it's normal style. Aesthetics matter, graphics don't.

Here's a good example, TF2 has relatively lower-end graphics by some of today's standards, but aesthetically it looks great.

[QUOTE=FullStreak12;36122801]Homefront and New Vegas both came out in 2010 I think. Fallout 3 was 2008 but New Vegas had nearly no graphical improvement. No clue about when Arma 2 came out but,

It doesn't look terrible and graphics don't make much of an impact on me in a game, but IMO Black Ops looks better.[/QUOTE]

Looks like you turned your settings way down, look at the shadow on the APC.

I don't think ARMA II looks that bad at all.
