Video game textures

For my research on game textures i will start with minecraft.



For a game that uses very simplistic graphic style it has very detailed textures and sprites. I know that this game isn't the penultimate pinnacle of graphical fidelity but it is in it's deliberate aesthetical design which contains it charm and appeal. Also the blocks in the game allow for straight forward and easy re-texturing process which can create modding possibilities.

Skyrim
Finally i will show Bethesda's latest instalment in the Elder Scrolls Series.



This is a stark contrast to Minecraft's cuboid appearance which many players tend to disregard. This is an extremely detailed game with more diverse art styles and locations despite the game's setting in a frozen northern continent. the graphics and textures really breathe life into the game and its surroundings which i favour more than the variation of brown which many "realistic" shooters and other games tend to use.
