In this video I address the many reasons why characters in AAA games look like abominations. I think it is indicative of large studio's overreliance on technology in place of genuine artistic talent combined with an ideological push that has led to an inability to render people that are pleasing to look at. I compare and contrast western art direction with eastern art direction, and address the strengths and weaknesses of the medium as a whole. 00:00 - The Deception 00:27 - The Issue 01:18 - Art Direction 02:05 - Tech vs. Artistry 04:40 - It Keeps Getting Worse 05:21 - Cases of Ideology 08:20 - The Source of the Problem 09:14 - How to Not Be Terrible 11:24 - Deb
