What happened to this game's artstyle?

[bTr]

I haven't been playing cs:go for that long but I could tell you the art direction has changed drastically with the introduction of cs2. Instead of dark, gritty and tactical theme the game has flipped to a vibrant, childish one which is really off putting. I thought that one of the most distinct differences between valorant and csgo was the artstyle; one was bright, colorful, unrealistic, and GO was supposed to at least have some type of a darker, more realistic theme. Now on most maps it looks like the sun is going to smash into the earth at any moment. Valve, why? CSGO had such a unique aesthetic that was completely trashed after the introduction of new maps, agent skins and source 2 lighting. Is this valve progressively caring less about the classic look of the game and focusing on the competitive stage? Or is valve going to shift the art direction of all their future games, and cs2's artstyle is just a hint as to what is to come?

your feedback is pathetic wrong and totally opinionated. csgo was in fact realistic and gritty. your childish profile tells me you speak with emotion and stupidity. cs2 is now straying away from traditional graphics and transitioning to a new look not many enjoy !

That's just not true it's a very artistic and wonderful new art style with very good details and graphics more colorful and special than ever before!

For the most part the new art style is nice, but a lot of things do look like theyre made of plastic, and are way lower detail compared to CSGO such as the CT vehicles which look like kids toys. Also way too much light bloom.

imo the colors change is for the best. The old cs:go image was really washed out and dull, almost like someone applied sepia filter on it. As a result, many players resorted to using nvidia digital vibrance to increase color saturation and enhance the visibility, so that enemy players would no longer blend into surroundings. Now, this is no longer necessary.

"realistic and gritty"
you mean the xbox 360 era of muddy textures and slapping a grayscale on everything and calling realistic that aged horribly.
but even valve moved away from that and towards the stylized realism they have been using since 2016
just look at all the map remakes in go and cs2 compared to their originals.

The graphics are cartoony, deal with it. It is nowhere near realistic looking like it was between 2012-2017. Just confess you like cartoony graphics
