The brown video game era, sometimes referred to as brown or grey filter and desaturated or muted look, refers to a period in the mid to late 2000s, where many video games had a brown and desaturated look to them.[1]. With the introduction of 7th generation of video game consoles, video game developers started aiming for HD graphics and realistic visuals. One of the ways to achieve this look was the usage of dark and muted colors. This method was popularized the most by Unreal Engine 3 which heavily relied on this method with its aesthetics[2]. Another reason was tone. When people saw a video game with the brown filter, they immediately knew the tone of the game would be serious and dramatic[3]
Examples
[edit]Here are some of the most notable examples of the brown filter in video games.
- Gears of War (2006)
- Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
- Fallout: New Vegas (2010)
- Resistance (2006)
- God of war III (2010)
