I take it the creepy uncanny valley PC games were before your time.

Doom Eternal subverts this to comical levels. If you've never played it, check it out sometime.

I've been noticing that too lately.

Everything looks so close to realistic, it kinda wonky and uncanny, while I've been missing the more free feel and perspective of late mid 90's to 2000's stuff. I dont know why though

I agree to an extent. I hate that we are getting to the point where celebrities are starting to infiltrate our games with our characters and such.

I already see you guys enough in the movies after a while, I'd like to have my video-games be separate.

Like... what exactly?

Like more stylized graphics and not trying to go for realism?

I don't care what it looks like, as long as it's fun to play, and there minimal sense of being played by the game.

There's plenty of games that "look" like "video games". What you're complaining about are Triple AAA games, look at the indie scene for that "look".

Even those big studio games can still look like video games.

That's why I specified Triple AAA games and not studios. There's a lot more variety than ever when it comes to games, just most of the time people aren't looking.

I remember on my old t.v. that the brightness was terrible lol. Playing Witcher 3 was so hard because I needed cat for everything. In a way, it was cool but I remembered it never being that dark and so I played on another t.v.(because the old t.v. was acting up) and it was different <_< I thought maybe the upgrade made everything darker.

Both of these just came out from major publishers too.

I still think the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo still looked like a video game as well personally.

They still do have the look. But i do miss the days when video games were video games. Simple to pick up and play and were just something to do to kill time. Now games are far too big and too long.

I honestly preferred the atmosphere and presentation of 2016.

Like I get that Eternal is the better game, I just like the design and areas of 2016 far more.

I honestly feel like we're seeing less uncanny valley than we had on like the PS3 or early PS4. That term isn't interchangeable with realistic. I can tell I'm looking at a video game, but I don't feel unsettled as much.

Is there really that much of this, or more than there has been before? I can only think of a few examples recently.
