Why this game's graphics look so ♥♥♥♥ing bad for a 2010 game?

[Vanessa]

Even though I heavily modded it..it still looks almost like a late 90's game..so ♥♥♥♥ing unplayable..hope the make a remake cause I am interested in the story

[Catmality]

lul, its unplayable because it "looks" bad.

Did you say late 90's? Boy do you even remember what was out in the late 90's? That was the PSX/64/Iforgotwhatsegaconsolewasaroundthencausewhocares? Stuff was super blocky and blurry didn't look anything like this.

i actually like the vanilla graphics. although if you are into modding then you mightve picked the wrong enb. Try out rudy enb + clarity.

It looks great this day and age. Also it's because it's set in a 2008 engine back when games came on disks and file size was a requirement.
The graphics aren't trying to be flashy so they don't age badly. They just work.

There are plenty of mods that fix this 'issue'

ENBs like the above posters mentioned, which can be found on ENBdev
NMC's Texture pack
Weapon Retexture Project
Caesar's New Regime
NCR Trooper Overhaul

Justifying mods as an excuse to fix what Obsidian could not?
For shame..

The only thing this game doesn't have compared to other games from the era is full-scene dynamic shadows.

The 360/PS3 generation was full of muddy textures and poor draw-distance. And if not, the tradeoff was an abysmal framerate.

Oblivion did have the capacity for Actor self-shadowing (And full scene shadowing in the beta), but it was buggy and had a high performance cost, so in typical Bethesda fashion they chose to remove it from the 3/NV version of the engine instead of improving it.

I'd love to hear some of the "good looking" 2010 games.

Resident Evil 5!

Fixing an engine that Bethesda made and is still using what's more shameful.

fear is an awful game that's why they had to add extra resources to make it look pretty.

Yeah thats my point they cut the budget and used 90's graphics inorder to afford everything else..They need to make a remake..they did it for skyrim..Also fear are good games you should play them

to me id rather have a game that has poor graphics but excellent gameplay over a game which does look pretty but offers awful gameplay. that's why i like fnv over fo4. best of both worlds would be amazing though.
