The GDC presentation on Rendering, Materials, and Lights in the game! It's amazing how certain features are still valuable and usable over a decade later.

A nice touch on Color Theory that is also affecting modern games: you can have a very limited variety of saturated objects on screen to keep it appealing.
And you have to either desaturate the whole image or limit the variety around 1-2 compatible tones.

Why the MCU Turned Grey (And How They Fixed It)
A while ago, Patrick H. Willems put out a video asking why MCU movies looked so grey and desaturated. He concluded that it was because the newer marvel movies were shot digitally and not being graded properly. It was a good question, but both I and a lot…

Yeah, I can relate: the art direction always wins and modern gaming is often BLAND AF.
But they are also unable to make anything meaningful with the UI, immersive elements, animations, and AI. The things that work in the original Stalker trilogy, METRO games, and many other similar projects.

Why STALKER 2 (and UE5) are a massive disappointment
A superficial and unfair analysis, first impressions, and overall sentiment on the brand new STALKER 2 (GSC Game World) after more than 16 years of mod-developer-powered life support. We’re going to look at STALKER 2 as a game but also STALKER 2 as an Unreal…

And so are games: something is wrong with the look of the majority of them! When lighting is generic and perfect, it's lifeless, it lacks the artistic intent.

Why Movies Look Flat Now
Movies used to feel rich and cinematic. Today they often look flat, lifeless, and strangely digital. In this video I break down why modern movies look so bad now and how filmmakers can bring back real depth, texture, and emotion.

Memes arrived! #meme@GameDEV
People are generally impressed by the level of details of the new game and how they tried to preserve the art style but without technical limitations of the past...

There are tons of purchased assets in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but no one offended and criticize the visuals of the game. It clearly shows own style and coherent artistic vision.
Just sayin!

I wanna a game where we're just being a tenant of these living quarters of Stray. No sewers, no running, just a cozy life in a neon dystopia.

Why Battlefield 6 Looks Like THAT (De-graded)
The color filters in Battlefield 6 open beta are quite strong much like earlier installments in the franchise, some like it, and some don't. I decided to do a historical overview of color grading in Battlefield and comparing it to the newest installment …

Can you imagine Horizon Zero Dawn, made by a tiny studio under XBox and told by a Halo writer?
I finally reached the long-forgotten ReCore, which runs well on basically anything and require no MS account.
It goes for like $3 on every major sale and is very minimalistic by modern standards. It's hard to believe that it has been released later than The Witcher 3 and only a year before HZD.
And you can find the artbook here: https://archive.org/details/the-art-of-re-core/

Why Fallout Lost Its Original Artstyle
It's clear to most fans and enjoyers of the Fallout series that the newer artstyle has taken a drastic change from the older games. Fallout's artstyle used to build a bleak atmosphere but now it builds an atmosphere focused on retro-futurism. What reasons…
