Do you think there is still value in using Pre Rendered backgrounds

There was always value to the idea because it looks pretty and is atmospheric, but we were entrusted as part of the future to make 3d games as involving as those stills were through use of stellar art direction. I think a lot of our games failed at that, with a few exceptions (SotC, FFXII, BotW)

yes, because prerendered will look better than realtime rendering, until technology progresses more

Don't know desu. But 3D isn't bad if someone know what their doing.

Isn't baked lighting pretty much modern version of them?

that green filter looks like poo,this is the washout effect all games should get rid of

I think pre rendered backgrounds allow for an atmospheric quality that 3D can't imitate. Even if 3D can come to match it in detail and quality, it is not identical in artistic content. I hope some studio with talent and money in the future revitalizes the aesthetic.

no, because you still have to render the polygons/models/textures

Not very knowledgeable in 3D art. What's wash out?

>>385143102
Yeah. Genres that come to mind are wrpgs, point and click adventure games in the vein of Sanitarium or more recently Tormentum, isometric action-rpgs and obviously classic survival horror.
Basically genres where the environment is there to build atmosphere instead of being immediately interactive.

i would say yes, but we have the tech to make something that would look like pre-rendered(back then) in realtime

see: Grimrock

REMake and RE Zero refined pre rendered backgrounds to an art form.

If I'm not wrong, Persona 5 had some pre-rendered backgrounds too

Yes and no, the room in your post is real time and still looks great, but some rooms definitely benefit from being prerendered

>>385143102
Yes because you can pump your entire polygon/shading/texture budget into a single photoreal human.

You could even just use photos for the backgrounds if you were good enough.

Was it ever confirmed that was trevor?

>>385147710
no just strongly hinted

Pre rendering frees up space that can be used for character detail and framerates.
