Prey 2 is a joke right?
Dead island is dishonest. It's mostly a melee game and the city is 1/3rd of the game at most. It's tropical.
Far cry 3 is very green as well. It's weird they showed such a specific area
i cannot put into words how much i want to kill youWoW had great graphics and artstyle for its time and was pretty edgy with violence and what not
And no one ever could replicate that magic since then anyway
I still remember seeing that screenshot in a magazine all those years back and imagining what manner of amazing adventure that game is gonna be
And it was
Why do they always cut the two sides of their hair.
Prestigious Codexers will reject poor aesthetics of any variety, whether the "500 shades of brown" displayed in those shooters or the oversaturated garishness of Current Year.

More creative than David Lynch?
Should have included the trailer for the full poz effect. It's from Netflix and I can't even tell the genre it's supposed to be. There's loads of these weird old Lara spin off games and some of them aren't terrible. Temple of light I think it's the most known spin off, a twin stick shooter where you raid Mayan temples if I recall.
What happened to "mature" art direction?
Those religious paintings are the past's version of design-by-committee commissioned works. They're aesthetically pleasing, but the artist had little room for creativity. They make use of expensive substances usually reserved just for works of this kind, such as lapis lazuli and gold ground up and mixed with oils and paints. In a way they're like corporate art.

This opinion demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of art, but i'm in a kiddie forum so that's par per course.
Either way, i agree entirely with the author of this thread. Modern art in games is fucking appalling, and i just can't stand any of it and i refuse to play any games that has it.
Keep in mind that in the past even art that was made specifically for kids had a more "adult" sensibility to it. Take the old Lucas Arts adventures. The visuals are intentionally made in a style that is intended for children, and yet the art itself feels like it was made by adults. It's the same with those old Tom & Jerry cartoons, which can be watched at any age.
Unfathomably based. I would haved loved to see artists like Frazetta, John Howe, Alan Lee and John Blanche don plate armor and wade into a crowd of corporate memphis 'artists':
John Blanche designed a lot of corporate art for games workshop. Most of his career was extremely corporate and a lot of his work isn't far off the cal art style because it's so fucking small IRL.
