I don’t mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

    I don’t know about paint exactly, but

    • Control uses yellow markings, like tarps, in some places to offer some hints about which ledges the player can reach
    • Wolfenstein II uses yellow markings to indicate surfaces that can be destroyed
    • Doom (2016) uses distinctive lights (green in this case) to give the player a hint about which jumps are safe

    On one hand, I would guess the current talk is about newer games, but on the other hand, it’s not a brand-new innovation, either.
