Zoomers think no one found these graphics impressive in 1992 and therefore no one ever cared about graphics back then

System Shock 2.is weird without textures blurry beyond recognition.

Anon09/01/26, 22:12No.12794001

We had ray casting.

I love how more and more buzzterms get added to the vox populi.

>the days when nobody cared about graphics GPUs literally exist as a profitable market because of videogames.

Anon09/01/26, 22:43No.12794057

that image is wrong back then graphics were a big deal

Anon09/01/26, 22:59No.12794081

I think what was kind of true back then is that a lot of what made a game look good came down to pretty static traditional art >did competent texture painters work on this game and give a damn

Anon09/01/26, 23:44No.12794136

People cared way more about graphics in the 90s and 2000s than they do now.

Anon09/02/26, 01:25No.12794293

3D was the raytracing of the 90s

Anon09/02/26, 02:17No.12794370

These were cutting edge graphics in 1999.

Anon09/02/26, 05:45No.12794578

Actually when this game came out reviews complained it had bad graphics, and it was a financial failure. Why do you think there was no system shock 3?

Anon09/02/26, 05:57No.12794592

too bad system shock always fucking sucked

Here, have some 90s (by the 1-10 definition) realtime raytracing.

Anon09/02/26, 11:28No.12794905

Personally, I think graphics peaked by the early 00s. We sure have more polygons and shit now but the mid-late 90s leap in graphics was truly quantum-tier.

Anon09/02/26, 12:42No.12794971

Zoomers don't understand this concept

Stop posting this horseshit, retard, we cared about graphics even more back then. Goddamn retarded numbskull.

Anon09/02/26, 13:07No.12794996

quit chimping out fag

Anon09/02/26, 14:43No.12795083

This game actually didn't do so well because the graphics sucked.

Anon09/02/26, 17:50No.12795342

early 1990s already had raytracing though? just not REALTIME Raytracing and all those "god rays" bouncing off each other. older cartoons like Ice Age 1 was shilling "raytracing" too.is this another AI bot post???

>The days when nobody cared about graphics but they did care. if they didn't, we would have been playing Zork. yeah those '90s 3D games look 'bad' now but not at the time. it was also 'whoooa, look at those graphics!' back then too.

Anon09/02/26, 19:48No.12795560

Here's a game from 1999 modded for real-time raytracing for a research paper in 2004 using OpenRT https://q3rt.de/

Anon09/03/26, 21:59No.12797205

People have always cared about graphics, the difference is games didn't bloat their dev time by literal decades for them. OOT got delayed by less than a year to have its graphics updated.

Anon09/04/26, 02:39No.12797541

>90s games never needed raytracing ahem

Anon09/04/26, 15:30No.12798273

There was never a time when people didn't care about graphics except maybe the days were people thought games peaked with ping pong and tetris and didn't expect more. By the 90s people were impressed and cared about graphics fully and the graphics developed quickly indeed (in turn you would have to keep buying newer computer tho). Nowadays the graphics have stalled for 15 years but more computing power is needed every year because there's zero optimization.

>women >minorities >bureaucrats These are who are responsible for the entire gaming industry being shit.

Anon09/04/26, 22:20No.12798803

I cared.Until everything became brown with brightness and bloom, then i stopped caring.

Anon09/05/26, 03:12No.12799250

I remember seeing the N64 kiosk in the toy store as a kid and being blown away by the graphics upgrade from Super Mario Worldu mean I can just wander around outside Peach's castle and climb trees and do whatever I want? Shieeeet

Anon09/06/26, 08:11No.12801302

I love how they now re-release games from early 2010's with minimal changes except for system requirements. Fucking ridiculous in most cases.

Anon09/07/26, 05:01No.12802861

Quake II raytraced is genuinely one of the worst looking examples I've ever seen.

Anon09/08/26, 01:37No.12804274

Did that even exist back then?

Anon09/08/26, 02:16No.12804324

Everyone back then cared about graphics , its why 2d games were looked at with disgust and the whole 32bit verse 64bit.
