AA looks crisp and to the point, AR looks too deep and the blue is annoying and wont let you see anything on the horizon

no it doesn’t
It’s the nostalgia that is making you think that
and also countless bad experiences with the fog in AO that make you always want to see every island in the sea
yeah i always hated how ar 1.1 looked
the colors are so dark and saturated which makes everything look muddy and bad, as well as the fact its using 2022 materials which all look moldy and soft
soft in like, a rotting wood way not a good way

I’ll be honest yeah I’d rather AA than AR with these two images
not leaning toward either side here since i didnt play aa long enough to give fair judgement, but i did want to provide more arcane reborn screenshots as i believe thats important

Hate it when sea-based games do that. If an island is less than 10,000 studs away, I should be able to render it.
aa’s lighting looks really monotone and ar’s is way too saturated
i feel like a midpoint between them both would top them

I was getting ready to disagree, but then you said fog. I HATE THE STUPID FOG. What moron puts a dense fog in a long-distance exploration game?

this?
tldr arcane odyssey might be peak…
remake aa in ao’s engine fr…
(r15 aa with updated controls, like shift to dash)
As someone who never played aa and barely played ar, yeah aa looks better 100%
I mean AA was easier to sail in, but AR’s graphics look better wtf are yall on???

rare 64arc completely undisagreeable take
Nobody cares how good your graphics are if you can’t see anything through all the “realism”
yeah still don’t like it, it’s got some weird haze-like feel on things 5 studs away
ao graphics > ar graphics > aa graphics
ar looks better but id rather have aa so i can fucking see where im going though

the problem with AR is that its trying too hard to look “good” when the low level of detail doesnt match the saturation of the environment or the quality of the textures, while AA knows its shit and doesnt try to force it.
A good example is boats in AR with their dark high res wood textures while the mesh itself has like 7 triangles.
