what would you prefer photo realistic graphics or graphics designed by vangogh
 

i think this hardware madness is taken us down the path of photorealism

well photorealistic paintings most times are worth nothing, its the artistic paintings which often are invaluable

now games are an art, why is it not like painting and be something artistic instead of boring ultra realism

i dont want realistic clouds, i see them all the time

now dogfighting at dusk on an artistic pink sky

oh boy that would be cool

I think you should leave the house once in while. ;)

err... missing the point that this is a flight simulator methinks.

He's not missing the point, he's just trying to get attention.

Yeah, I've just clocked the user id. iirc he was the one playing CloD at 400x300 res or something similar, claiming he will pwn those with machines which cost ten times as much as his. I might be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Ah well, he's harmless compared to some of the more vicious reprobates that pop up now and again.

Cry for attention!!

tell me of an artistic game, maybe moneky island

99% of games forget art

doing a photorealistic painting is easy and has no value

i would prefer something like the box models paintings

'You are a sad, strange little man.......and you have my pitty' Buzz Lightyear toy Story.

Photorealistic painting isnt easy, if it was we wouldn't need fotos.

Nothing stopping you from going into the files and making your own textures.

Here, I drew you a plane, I think its pretty artistic so feel free to draw inspiration for aircraft textures.

Have fun flying IL2: Cliffs of kindergarten art.

Be carefull or you will start another group of artist like fanboys... and we allready have enough with WOP and ROF hollywood ones XD
Anyway a picasso cubism option in graphic settings would be apreciated and if devs include some duchamp dada option they would make my day !

Lol!

Just read a very interesting article in the Atomic magazine (Australian computing gamer magazine) which talked about this very topic, titled "Where are graphics going?".

The main point of the article is that you can have realistic representation of gamer worlds and believable representation of the worlds. The two this are very different. The quote from Jason Vandenberghe creative director of Red Steele 2 wa "I'm a believability guy. I want to believe I'm there, I don't have to believe it's real. I know it's not real, it's a game!"

Now a lot of us here are out of frustration. Basically we can't affords to even go through the training to fly a real life warbirds, let alone get to fly one. Last time I heard, what with insurance and maintenance costs etc it was about a $1000AUD an hour to run a Mustang. Do we really want to have to read the maintenance release before we scamble for a mission so we know we have to baby our aircaft?

Part of the art of making a flight sim is to make it believable on the limited technology that we've got available today. So what we if don't have several hundred bombers attacking in a mission. Our PC 's wouldn't handle it. But we only have 15 seconds of ammunition, and as in real life you get tied up in a dog fight and loose your situational awareness you loose sight of the formations anyway. Or we take down our two or three targets and then have to land. Not many of us want to have a realistic half hour refueling and rearming before we takeoff again. Most would rather hit the refly button.

In my opinion realistic graphics are fine, but as I know it's not 100% possible at the moment, I'ld reather have a work of art that's going to make me believe I'm there every time.

COD Has gone a long way towards this!

Cheers!

try Borderlands

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger

OH,MY GOD!
This guy has been hunting the Ubi forums for ages,he's found the way to this forum,best hide!

There's plenty of devs out here creating interesting visual worlds, but when you set out to create "The most realistic Air Combat simulator available" you have to make it, well, realistic.

What he really wants is CloD ported to the Love game engine:

e: that game is actually beautiful - especially in motion.

Wings of Prey did it perfectly, colors & mood (sorry)

Pretty much the same response when he arrived at simhq ;)

Like I said before, though - at least he's one of the less... antagonistic ones.

fake edit: tune, btw

Er.... photorealistic graphics, I dare say :D

compare this:

with this

thoug dusk is very nice but they could have render a more beautifull stars

the game ones look like made by a kid good at maths :)

Well.......that was pointless.

You do realize that what you see there is in Japan and does not fit the time of day at all? I say CoD is pretty spot on when I look out over the sea on a hot summer day.

With watercolors, right?

drugs are bad

away from contamination you see amazing stars

that was my only reason to study nautics :)

cluck.....cluck......gibber.....gibber.......ftums hnwhay!.......peep.......waggawagga........shnerf. .......flumanumh!

Maybe we should have a Poll on this subject? 8-)

nah, the point is; drugs are good ;)

I don't think raaaid is on drugs. I think he's a clever little troll. He does just enough to distract and incite without doing enough to get banned.

agreed let's report this bull

I think it would be tough to ban him for pretending to be slow if you can't prove he's just pretending.

Brilliant Maraz! LOL!

well every time i come here i wonder if ill be banned

im just myself and would like more beautifull render skies

i spent 10 years on ubisoft and only got once banned for posting offtopic

now theres an ot section :)

and I'd like to be up to my nuts in Kelly Brooks guts!.......do you think if I whinged and begged enough it might happen?

according quantum physics the obserber is the one who makes reality

so according newton you cant but according sroedinger you could if you really want

i asked for 6dof on mouse

now i have 6d0f on mouse

i asked for dumped controls so you could fly at 16x

now i can fly at 16x feeling i fly at 6400kph

the team listens to people is beyond me how people often get so mean on the net

Did you ask for world peace and an end to global poverty yet?

LOL all i've seen so far in these threads by RAAAid is that those that acuse him of trolling are in fact behaving as trolls.

welcome to the banana raid!


you were my favorite at UBI. dont let the trolls in here get you down.

Haters gonna hate I guess.

OMG,don't listen to him,once he starts f***ing with your brain,AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.................. .....:eek:

+100

Its sad now a days. Have to hear from the "Troll finders" about how people are being 'trolls' almost anywhere you go now.

Raaaid does not troll, and folk get nasty quickly for some odd reason.

+1
But that's because people behave like that a lot easier and quicker. And so, folk are behaving like trolls.

They don't have to comment.

the guy is pulling his bull into the official feed back topic
regedit fix ?? which one the old refresh fix for CRTs ??

this is not a sandpit, you 'll be tracked down as well, if you support this kind of behavior

I like the grafix the way they are...maybe they could use a little tweaking, but photo realism just doesn't work. At 10,000 feet the satellite photos look great, but once you get down to ground level they look like big dots...or blobs, or rubbish. So far technology hasn't tackled the issue of scaling up the detail. Their is just no way that any computer could contain the information needed to model the whole map to photo realistic standards right down to "the random building" at any "random location"...anyway.

Nice to see ya again Raaaid.

p.s. Didn't we have this conversation a couple years ago (at the zoo)?

I love clouds. Unicorns and glider to!!

Actually, I wouldn't mind a game that let my fly through scenery from art. Imagine skirting the spires of a Martinesque castles, frolic in the Arcadian sky in an O'Connor painting, or enjoy a flight in the dramatic light German Romanticism!

Or what about following the river across dramatic waterfalls or struggle to find a place to put down your kite in front of the brownish hues of Thomas Cole storm:
