okay my embarassing failure of thinking that bullet trails would be brightest near the end aside, there was a interesting detail noticed in a meme video by 2kliksphilip Bullet sparks are scaled up by distance from them. This is clearly a design choice to keep them visible-[1/3]

and make the impacts feel more weighty, even if it is a lil silly upon a closer inspection. A fair compromise id say, because the alternative is basically 2 or 3 pixels of spark as feedback for your shots. a reminder that "photorealism" is not their sole goal, it's still a game.

to blatantly spell it out to avoid confusion: this is not a criticism (nor was it really one on kliksphilips part either, his video was a joke), this is just a technique to make a game feel, yknow, fun to play, and it's interesting to look at these and analyze/understand them.
