So does soul just mean "shitty art from my childhood"? Is this just neo-nostalgiafaggotry?

Got a boner from this heeeheee game name?

These. MUH SOUL is just wanking over your childhood.

First, none of the art in this thread so far is shitty.
Second, I came into this thread hoping for people to post both new and old stuff for the sake of my visual reference folder.

The wooded kingdom from Mario Odyssey. It's incredible how well they made the music flow with the gameplay.

Why is it that Wario games always have more soul than Mario games?

I fuckin love Yes

I'm not looking to create "soul", dummy, just to do what I like, and sometimes these vidya art threads (even when filled with shitty memes like the SOUL nonsense) have stuff I like.

I was the first person to respond. I was going to go with something modern, but I thought you only wanted early 3d renders.

It’s not shitty, but I get what you mean. It’s done to a standard at a time when there were no standards. A lot of it clearly has a lot of work put into it because they wanted it to be good, not good enough. Trying to do your best within a set of limitations is how you end up with interesting styles or things bordering on that edge of the uncanny valley, where it just doesn’t reach the actual pit.

They weren't as restricted to a formula.

Unfortunately, Warioware is soulless.

its another "things i like = soul; things i dont like =soulless"

you guys are soulless

is soul the new buzzword to trigger trannies?

Soul was literally ripped from the universe in 2012 though. Even these soulful images are the cooling ashen remnants of soul. You literally do not have soul. No one left here has soul.

Is it bad that I’m happy we didn’t get this game.
Itoi has zero involvement in this and was too busy on Mother 3 at the time.
I feel like the game wouldn’t have its charm because of that.

You're not wrong, but I do like the felt look regardless, especially the menu buttons.

Fucking loved that game

If anyone knew who owned the distribution rights I'd say I hope they remake it for Switch but as is it's lost to time

The rubband band gameplay is actually pretty great once you figure it out. The problem is that Chaotix is an obviously rushed game. The levels were definitely incomplete and unrefined. A shame, because the visuals were amazing.

I fucking hate ultra-realismfags

The music for this game was rad af

Dreamcast was my fav Sega console

After seeing the concept art for this game, i really wished that we got this.

Based, can't wait for this game to finally get translated.

I'm a fan of that whole overly cartoony part of the Y2k aesthetic

Chulip is so fucking based my dude

At least it's still on the ps3 online store.

Please, play every game Love-De-Lic/Onion Games did. They're all fucking fantastic. Aside from Sticker Star, but I think the guy involved with that was an audio engineer.

That's just Hideyuki Takenami's artstyle in general. His most recent work was Super Bomberman R.

How would you define soul?

My definition is material in vidya that is made while working around it limitations. Most of the time it leads to a result in an object having a lot of charm with a lot of thought put into it.

This doesn’t mean everything old has soul, there are multiple games that are half assed and look and age like shit. New games can also have soul, but I feel isn’t as common anyone because we don’t have that many limitations with hardware compared to a few generations back.

Few examples of soul.
>In megaman legends all of the textures for mouths have depth and are made to fit the camera angles (pic related)
>despite the sound chip for the GBA being garbage the composer for Mother 3 used it to his advantage to give the music a quirky feel.
>in Tf2 the demoman’s bottle breaks after using it despite the fact it adds zero changes in gameplay.

This is a specific thing, but I really, really love the VFX in Kingdom Hearts. They're stylized in such a nice way.

>that dragon
I'm genuinely a little mad about the Moon translation because they said in an interview that they wanted to restore the Dragon's Road ending that's still completely fucking finished in the game's files, and decided against it to keep the experience "pure". Despite the fact that the Dragon's Road ending is way fucking better than the "GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY" copout in the actual game. Holy fuck Moon is genuinely soiled by that shitty ending.

>What if Pokémon was an actual RPG?

I don't remember these trophies in Melee

If the combat wasn't so shallow I'd probably do a playthrough multiple times a year.
>no spiritual successor enough of a mad lad to allow you to fuse as many monsters together to create an all powerful abortion

You can be modern and have soul.

Only gold is, the gba version is peak warioware. Need I remind you wl4 is the best because of its zanyness. Which translated to ware

I think Rayman Origins had some of the best video game art.
