Low poly is peak soul, prove me wrong

I remember that being a fun game, Bugs Bunny - Lost in Time. I was let down that it wasnt anything like the commercial where you drop anvils on everyone though. I got stuck at the witch's world.

I think it's Syphon filter 1 since that had a mission where you had to sneak(fight, kill, and make war) in a space museum.

Shit, thanks for reminding me I need to finish this game. The camping mechanic was so fucking good.

Why indie dev can't make more low polygon game?

Sauce me bro

The difference between soul and soulless is people who understanding the same concepts needed in film-making or animation needed to make something feel alive and people who went to college specifically for game design. You can tell exactly the point when the latter became the majority in the industry, which was January 1, 2006.

>no attention to color theory or design, just copy popular palettes
>clear that managers and directors were incompetent and didn't properly coordinate teams, get jumbled messes for designs
>little to no sound-theater staged for ambient effect, game worlds feel dead and 2-dimensional
>music and sound design terribly mixed
>uncompressed MP3s take up a quarter of the game's filesize
>textures are improperly compressed and look like shit, objects placed just to make busy space or scene noise rather than structured to create a memorable and easily-navigable environment with lots of things that interests a viewer
>writing doesn't have subtlety in any regard
>designs very clearly based on market testing rather than experienced opinion

>writing doesn't have subtlety in any regard
>designs very clearly based on market testing rather than experienced opinion

Movies and television has these problems as well.

Shame the series totally abandon the aesthetic of this game for a more marketable approach in every future Rayman game

Same. 5th gen was a disappointment to me at the time. 2D sprites will always be my favorite.

Yes they do. Usually industry problems in entertainment trickle down as so, or at least did:

Film -> TV -> Magazines/Comics/Books -> Social Discourse -> Video Games -> Tabletop shit, toys
It goes from film to social discourse in the matter of a few months, then very slowly seeps into everything below social discourse.

Requires talent and effort, neither of which the average nu-male/danger hair indie dev has

That's why whenever you see them do """low poly""" it's flat shaded unsmoothed shit, it lets them ship an unfinished game with very unfinished assets and hide behind 'it's muh artstyle!' when called out on it

Breath of Fire IV

oh god I got hit by a nostalgia wave. I remember getting this game on a CD and playing the fuck out of it

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time is one of those not-so-good games that I replay every now and then just for nostalgia
It's not very good but I love it

t. couldn't last 60 seconds

Bugs bunny lost in time is a pretty darn good game especially for a licensed game
The backtracking is painful tough, the carrot factory level is cancer

spyro is the king of low poly

Fucking loved this game as a kid, always preferred it to Bugs Bunny Lost in Time although both are good. Really comfy game, complimented by some good music, hearing the first level's music always brings good memories to mind.

didnt have to my dude, game isnt a game, its a hugbox

Gex's horror levels are so fucking good.

That's the thing about low poly/resolution, things are far more frightening when you cant tell what they are. if it's a clear, obvious image, you can immediately identify what it is, and therefore it becomes less scary. When you think you're staring at something horrible, but you can't quite tell, that 'unknown' multiplies the fear.

No, no. 3 Someday, but it'll suck.

I'm not a Meleefag, but while I do enjoy the other games, Melee's aesthetic and sound design is the best in the series.

I like that you post the games that are litearlly the most soulless indie game trash out there.

I remember having a lot of fun with 3 a long time ago BUT i got the PS3 version for free on ps+ recently and the grating voice acting and pop culture references just killed it for me.

It only halfway continues the spirit of 2 with those nice gallic locales. It also feels a lot jankier than I remember it being; I remember having a lot of fun trying to get huge combos on the Gamecube version but I just didn't feel it this time.

Thank god console games didn't suffer blurry shit until N64 because everyone expected the TV to blur things for you, would rather have something clean that can be fixed if it's look like bad than having something already processed that you can't fix.

It was similar to the over-the-top bloom era, it was a new thing, so devs added bloom to everything because TECHNOLOGY.

nigga rayman origins is literally the perfect 2D platformer, personally I do prefer Rayman 2, but seriously man

I'll tell you exactly why you all feel this way about these games. It's because they were all developed in environments with hard limits on what you can do. Making these games was all about the developers taking the time and effort to really push the boundaries to achieve their vision. They had to get creative, really stretch what was available to them to keep pushing the envelope.

Nowadays you just don't see that as much anymore because of the nature of the medium. Technology has changed and progressed in a way where you aren't restrained by the physical limitations of hardware to even remotely a similar degree. It's easy to run away with making a "high fidelity" look for a game and you can end up losing the spark that inspired you in the first place.

MGS1 is one of my favorite looking games and I think it has a lot to do with this kind of stuff.

Nope, its the same height no matter what button you press
What version did you play?

Death's gambit.
No I'm serious, it's actually jaw dropping.

PS1
Was there a port? I'd try to find an original copy, but my PS2 is having problems.

Persona 5 is literally the only Persona game with 0 soul

I just came

But that isn't Persona 4

Gravity Rush 1 and 2

>a game that was considered to be pretty much the Fortnite back then.
Not really, either you are 40+ and was a hardcore gamer or you're a zoomer pretending. Games didn't have normie status in '05.

PS1 is the worst version, you want dreamcast or N64

No matter its flaws, I still eternally will hold Star Ocean: The Second Story on my top 10 vidya gaems of all time list. You do not know true soul until you've played it and enjoyed all the game has had to offer.

No.
Soul is absence of big corporate funding and realization of a nerds dreams. Just like a painter painting what he imagines instead of painting technical pieces to sell.

Xenoblade 1 had soul.

Thats different game tho. It had co-op. I had it on demo. I remember.

gex 2 is the goat

Rayman 2 has been ported to almost every console ever made. I believe the Dreamcast version is often considered the best version (?) but you can play it on most everything.

I miss this game so much. I forgot the name of it also but I do remember gaming magazines giving it mediocre scores but to me it was a solid 8

the new Spyro really had bigger smoke than fire.
Its not bad, and it looks somewhat decent, its just the people behind it are clueless. They don't understand what made the original so exceptionally good. Even if the most skilled dev team is behind it wouldn't help if you don't understand what was the mindset behind the original games.

it is even possible to translate original aesthetic to modern graphics?

I think their original intent was to make a reimagined version of the first game, looking at the concept art it looks pretty good and I'm sure they wanted the new version to be something completely different but with the same gameplay of the PS1 games, but then they told them they had to ship 3 games instead of one and they obviously were never going to live up to that.

Not if the backbone of your game are underpaid college students while anything above that is spending more time in the cafeteria and taking a break every hour. There is a reason why a lot of modern games have this pretty look, but it doesn't feel right, nor they are not aesthetically pleasing. Technological advancement brought a lot of shit like more dependence on it and due to this the actual developer is a dull as fuck person.

They would never live up to it in the first place for numerous reason. If you compare to the first thing I see is the sky. Its obvious that the team is trying to imitate the old one, but they don't understand why does it look like that. This could be implemented in the whole game, yes I got it you try to emulate the game, but you don't understand the reasons behind them. The old one just reeks from wanting to be explored and it makes you feel comfortable like a home it has warmth in it, while I look at the new one the first message I get is meh fantasy world, where I can't give less shit whats happening because cold dominates.

Also another example: the same goes for crash, the reason why they look so engaging and the color choice is because the old devs tried them to stand out from these worlds. They are basically an alien in the environment, they are not supposed to be in those worlds because they are not a part of it.

There was a lot of 2D sprites in gen 5, in arcade at least. Maybe the people complaining about that are all casuals that shouldn't be listened to.

Sekiro looks like a Tenchu game with Dark Souls combat with a different level design, I'm hype for it desu.

same. the writing and reviews in the mags would often be sincere too because you were paying 10€ for a mag every month so they had no reasons to lie to you. shit games would get slammed with 3/10s. now they get handed 8/10s and told how good they are.

Because it reminds you of something else. You don't need to have a direct 1 to 1 for something to trigger nostalgic feelings.

Because it's not hard to just admit that it's a sense of nostalgia, or for the younger peeps a sense of wanderlust for a time that's passed. Meanwhile ironically everyone talking about it in this thread is actually being reductionist.

Can't find any high res pics in a hurry unfortunately. I really enjoyed this game as a kid, despite all the criticism it received (although I didn't hear about it until later in life). There's got to be something about a camera being so "zoomed in" that helps immerse you in the game world. I loved the different environments in the different levels.

It's reductionist in the sense that it implies its all nostalgia and there is no value beyond that. I never cared about Lion King, didn't even watch it fully, but I can say for sure the new movie has worse art direction than the old one and that the exchange from hand drawn to more advanced photorealistic CGI was not beneficial. Yet if I say the same about a game, it's suddenly Nostalgia and nothing more?

Are we going to pretend "old" video games are actually old now? People are still getting influenced by things that are 30 years old by now because guess what, things (specially videogames) don't change that much, people can find joy in a similar aesthetic because it still resonates well with whatever looks good right now, not because HD graphics were the end of everything good.

Man zoomers will go to any length to defend their shitty new games

Even with the last gens mass formulization, old game franchises and styles died of comparatively slowly. When the fifth gen game out, the dominant paradigm of play shifted almost immediately and entirely, a time of both mass genesis and exodus of developers, IP and playstyles. You were hard-pressed to find anything similar to what released before outside of niche releases and hand-helds. The people that experienced that shift almost have to seethe, as they saw their entire hobby upended in a year or so

PSO just hits me hard. I play PSO2 but it's not the same - something about the athmosphere of PSO is so incredibly special. It truly feels like discovering a lost world.

Do to others as you would have them do to you. I love 2D sprite work games, and back in the day I always defended 2D games on the PS1 and PS2 despite the magazines saying they were gone and done. However, I can't help but feel resentment when any attempt to raise some proper nostalgia and appreciation for the 3D side of the 5th gen is shot down in the retro circles by people who are still vengeful for what was done to 2D back then.
