SG definitely does not have the best writing.
BUT . IT MOST DEFINITELY has the BEST cinematic compositions in renders. the Staging/image composition is out of this world. now THAT . IS . A . FACT.
Ocean would be a really good director of photography. I mean it. He's probably a photographer or worked in some adjacent field.
the shots are so fking well crafted, even in low lighting. the one that let me speechless was the dutch angle of zara and nika walking on the football field. with her dress in the wind. man that was truly a fucking work of art, so fucking dramatic. and it's not the only one, it's just the one I remember . I haven't played it since last year
even a noob in photography would notice that.
And that's the thing that draws people in in the first place when they know nothing about the game. the renders catch you off guard, because they nail a composition , and ocean can draw your eyes EXACTLY where he wants to.
the renders are so fking dynamic, it's crazy . The colour space too. he changes the palette so well . like that shot that happens straight after class ( which was really colourful , with everyone there and all is normal, but suddenly he mentions the accident with vik and it goes to that anthracite hue. so clever.
