I have a very specific love and fascination for this aesthetic, but as pic shows, only one game truly captured it...

AHHHHHHHHH I AM GOING INSANE

Top isn’t even a liminal space though, it’s extremely busy.

I think the best solution for those who like this aesthetic is to learn Blender or something similar and start creating their own scenes.
Or learn to use some level/map editor and play around with geometry and lighting. If ray tracing is supported, even better.

I share the same love and fascination OP, caustics give me an undescribable emotion. Certain types of cloud do the same thing.

Pic related is Water Palace Zone from Sonic Rush. I found it to capture a similar feeling.

Fucking same op, the only thing that scratches this itch for me is mirrors edge, pools in cs, and zoras domain

And while much simpler in-game, Sootopolis City from Pokémon RSE also has white stone and pools of water.
I hope these match what you're looking for and have been of some help.

So there seems to be an undeniable theme of water/white architecture/summer weather here. How though? Is this an established aesthetic, because i can hardly believe that designers just randomly come up with this especially in at the time high profile games.

You jest but that just adds soul to the map.
Imagine a public pool in the middle of the desert a ways away from the city. Pure comfy.

Rural beach cityscapes (i.e. greek) are not the same as OP. Tiles, minimalist forms, white and blue colors, coolness.

AAAAHHHH WHY CAN'T DEVS STOP PUTTING LIMINAL SPACES IN RACING GAMES AAAAHHHH! *pisses and shits self*

Gives me Red Trigger vibes, which is a short and free game if I remember correctly.

What the fuck user what's blowing your mind here exactly

i think Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 has a similar circuit

I already addressed this, but good for you to mentioning it again. Do you also constantly tell your friends the same story over and over again and then wonder why no one gives a shit anymore and tries to avoid you?

I wish some indie dev made a game that had this sort of aesthetic.
Oozes soul imo.

please tell me the clean look and modern architecture triggered you for some reason

Bump

This aesthetic needs a name.
Should we call it PoolPunk?

Too clean to be punk

I think that's besides the point at this junction.

nediterraneanwave

I think yachtpunk since it's basically what yachts look like

How about we combine both and call it MediterraneanPunk? It doesn't make me think of Yachts, it makes me think of the Medi.

Are we allergic to referencing Greece and the Mediterranean or what?

Mercury Lighthouse from Golden Sun.

Ayyye! I know that reference. My man of culture.

Yep, Aegean Sea aesthetic. Thats what I always think of at least.

MediterraneanPunk makes me think of pirate adventures like the cartoon Sinbad movie or Sandokan, even if they aren't from the Mediterrean Sea.
How about something with Santorini? It's basically that place's style.

Love that feel, one of the reasons Manaan was my favorite world in KOTOR, it had the best music too.

One of the few highlights in what was otherwise a disappointing mess. Nomura and co. can at least still make beautiful environments.
