I enjoy low-poly, but it's giving rise to the next evolutionary step of pixelshit.
soon, indies will be all low-poly for that "vintage soulful retro aesthetic bruh."

I don't think you realize how bad things have become.

Seems like a good thread to ask. I remember way back when on a PS1 demo disk, there was a trailer for a game (maybe an RPG). One of the things in the trailer was a giant alligator (or some monster) with a plant on it's back (the plant looking like a rafflesia flower). I wanted to try it as a kid and now, but I could never remember the name of the game.

PSO had its flaws, but it's still my favorite game of all time

I kind of want a new game with a more fleshed out version of Quest 64's battle system. I could just feel the potential of this gameplay being wasted on what was essentially an unfinished prototype for a game engine that can render large maps on the N64. That's my dream N64 game.

SOUL = bad graphics

Would a low poly game be more cost efficient & better in the long run to add more content and/or more features than a game with high graphics with shit ton of features?

I don't see the reason in improving graphical fidelity beyond fan satisfaction and realism if you already have a good solid art direction with low poly

That's the thing, many PS1 games weren't afraid to keep certain 2D conventions, and as a result they aged better.
Whereas the majority of N64 games doubled down on 3D and ended up clunky as fuck. Developers only figured out 3D in the generation afterwards. Hence why Gamecube games are more timeless.
PS1 games also have generally more cohesive artstyles and higher sound/music quality.

Now this is real SOUL.

Dreamcast games were peak soul they were right on the cusp of what was considered 'next gen' when the PS2 came out but were still using low poly models which put them on the same level with PS1, and N64 games. However with the ability to run at higher resolutions, load sharper textures, and faster frame rates they enjoyed the benefits of 6th generation gaming while still being part of the 5th generation where art direction was more important than realism.

MML2 is MML1 on steroids, everything is kicked up to 11 the dungeons, the towns, the weapons, the storyline. The story even reaches Evangelion levels of wat near the end. Highly recommended if you liked MML. Tron Bonne is also fun but it's not an adventure game like Legends it's more mission based.

Made with passion in mind to make money.
Not made with money in mind to make passion. (Not sure if that second sentence is précise enough)

I would say PS2 era graphics aged better than PS1. 6th gen is basically the 4th generation of 3D graphics. Aesthetics are still pleasant to look at, but aren't hyper-realistic. You can actually make some more realistic looking shapes, instead of balls for hands or something like that. Also, not filled to the brim with brown and bloom, baked in shadows, etc. Star Ocean 4's baked in shadows were the worst. The use of colors was also cancerous.

I like the direction it's going in, because it seems faithful to the original. The the layout of the areas hasn't been significantly altered, but they also managed to add some depth of field, so as not to make the 3D aspect of it useless. It also adds some nice QoL features, making battles seem more smooth. Character art seems good, areas look vibrant and colorful.

Will I like it better than the original? Probably not, but I started with SD3, so it's hard for any remake to compete with your first experience of a game. You?

Make a 16-bit styled indie game and I'll be happy. I'd rather low poly just remain forgotten.

Slightly optimistic, it looks solid across the board and definitely better than the horrendous SoM port. Battle animations and mechanics would need some refining though, because it still gives that mobile port vibe with stiff animations. I also hope that they darken the night sequences, those looked too bright.

Will spyrofags ever not be blown over the fact their game was never actually that popular, despite all the hype.

It's the pixels. That's the part that oozes soul.

Given the development time, I'm sure they'll refine it. Unlike the other two ports that made their way on mobile, I feel like this one has promise. It helps that it isn't being released on a platform (phones) for plebs. Let's face it, mobile drags all of us down into the mud.

Honestly I think Melee aged the worst out of all Smash games. At least as far as visuals go. The character models just looked bad.

Passion, enthusiasm, vibrance, imagination. Things that zoomers unfortunately can't comprehend much less appreciate.

"Give a man a fish", etc. Keep spoonfeeding retards and you'll never stop.

Honestly I want to make a game with PS1 aesthetics too. And I never even had one. Though DS is just as soulful. Games these days always focus on pixelshit or "realism". And anything remotely low poly ends up being that artsy fartsy "minimalist" low effort shit. I don't know how to describe it or if there's a term.

The Returns games are fun but they are missing the soul that made the franchise great. Never should have gotten rid of the Kremlings

>ahead of its time
No, it came out in 1992 and benefitted from being on of the last games on the NES/Famicom, released when experience with the platform was at its height and cartridge space was cheaper, with most developers having moved on to 16-Bit platforms.
It's what one can do with hindsight rather than foresight.

I still think SM64 has the best controls of any 3D platformer, but there are some glaring, objective flaws when it comes to responsiveness.

Legends has one of the rare low poly artstyles that let it get away with having huge blocks of solid colors, most others who try it end up looking fake, lifeless, and sterile. Good low poly usually has detailed textures for depth, surface, feel, believability etc.

I think it means something that had effort and care put into it and it also has some charm in it, and soulless something that was made as a cashgrab or a game that doesn't have anything unique in it like when CoD clones were a thing.
A word that lost all meaning and now it's used to call something good because it looks old or retro even when the gameplay was fucking ass and soulless when it's something new without explaining why. It's something like vaporwave where people only praised it for the Aesthetic and the music was dogshit most of the time.

Saturn could do 640x480 native, so the game really does look that clean.

We're hitting SOUL levels that shouldn't even be possible.

You have to have a talented team and that doesn't happen like it used to because artists are off making more doing something else and key devs dont have the power they used to, mostly because of executive and marketing department demands. Compare with the ps1 era when it was all small studios directly under control of the owner or moderately sized teams doing projects with a single director and producer guiding the whole thing. Also hardware limitations and shit, it's not like all games from the periods looked good and had good art direction.

That game sold poorly and has probably had under 20 Yea Forums threads about it since it released a decade ago. Why would you not want to let people enjoy a fun game that goes under the radar that they probably haven't experienced? Especially considering it's the closest thing to a classic PSO sequel?

If you enjoyed the first PSO and were disappointed with PSO2 or Universe, you'll like Zero. If you were going to emulate PSP2 you may as well just play PSO2 at that point since they have similar gameplay and you can actually play the latter with other people.
