Why cant modern videogames replicate this kind of instant iconic status? There is a huge chance you know who these characters are, could many modern games claim the same?

They could, but since gritty art styles became the norm it is really hard to find characters made from just a few primary colors
It isn't hard at all for 2D games because they have limited sprite sizes. 3D games tend to put people in similar outfits or ones that don't stand out at all.

Modern games use a lot of colors these days. Enough to be photoreal. Not sure it will work so well but there are still characters who are instant classics.

Ryu, ???, the one green guy Blanka I think?, Guile, Ken, Chun Li, Zangief, ???

She's only a classic because of the porn.

Older designs were simpler and had strong contrast for visibility.
Christopher Jones
is he considered modern? his series is over 10 years old, what's the cutoff from being considered modern?

The reason why we are able to identify these characters is the same reason we can identify the McDonald Arches at a young age, its because people keep shoving it in our faces

I sincerely doubt people would consider games that released in the 2000s like Luigi's Mansion "modern games"
Dylan Nguyen
You should check out /vr/ sometime then.

the pool of good, fundamental color combinations is quickly exhausted
that being said street fighter 2's character design is probably the greatest of any fictional work ever

luigi's mansion plays like modern game. haven't played the sequels but i doubt it much different gameplay
Lucas Cooper
>Luigi's Mansion is nearly 20 years old

I only recognised Ken and Ryu, and I never played a single game they’re in. No idea who the rest are, but they’re not even close to their recognisability, you just think they are because you play the games.
Adrian Powell
this is actually a good example of what happened to modern games. The design philosophy behind this character was create a figure that can be identified as a person in the least amount of shapes possible, that limitation led to them creating a recognizable character. This is something modern games stopped really having to worry about, there's less limitations available today and designers aren't given limitations outside of "keep the poly count at a good level that doesn't affect performance." Same is true for a lot of aspects in gaming like music, old consoles didn't have the ability to run many channels so the goal that composers had to stay in line with was "create strong melodies" since that's all they were really able to pull off. So the answer to OP's question is, less limitations led to less creativity.

You can't have clear color palettes if you use fifty colored lightsources at the same time.

Be gone with your newfangled witchcraft, OP. AGI is the way of life.

because those modern games need to age before they become classics. there's more that went into making SF2 iconic than just the games.
Luis Butler
So to fix modern designs, the real answer would be to place limitations on yourself like "only use 2-3 colors"

5/8 by name, and I never ever played street fighter.
I blame americans, their social engieneering bullshit is ruining their own media.
