I miss the tropical early to mid 2000s look in video games
Mario Sunshine is the only one of those games that consistently had that aesthetic
>>690291380>>690291430mmm the water looks so refreshing...I want to drink it...
>>690291380>>690291430Peak fucking soul aura vibe and atmosphere>>690291504I want to fuck it

Every time I see these images I think of this song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYaXGy8VYJE
>>690291841that would have made for a kino wind waker island as well.wind waker missed a lot of content and one mayor island like that would is one of those things
*sips soul juice*that's the stuff
>>690292031This is Jak isn't it? It looks really fucking weird and shitty from that distance.
>>690292489what gacha is this?
>>690292489soulless, chinese, ai art gacha slop. thread ruined.
>>690291601What is the game from the far right?
These stages were so good when you had summer vacation and you played them after coming back from a beach trip with your parents
>>690292765Chrono Cross newfag

>>690292597genshin>>690292721it's soul peak, I don't have any screenshots matching this thread's aesthetic however, the game has scenes like that though.
>>690291380>Once again graphical limitations prove artists will make absolute kino when they’re have to do the best they can with what they have Fucking all this tech and no jackass higher ups in suits can learn people need time time and more time to make this new mind blowing tech work right. I’m old and bitter, my back hurts
>>690292765Hatred or Cuckold Simulator i guess

some newish games kinda manage to get the feeling but not really, because of the ambient occlusion fog that plagues every new game nowadays

>>690292875Thanks, friendo.
I miss these summer feelings from when I was a kid...>go to the pool all day>hang with friends and play vidya>BBQ in the eveningman...
Water has fallen. Billions must drown.
I just want a game with this kinda aesthetic again

Anyone post PSO yet?
>>690293532>>690293621how do post post apocalyptic aquatic catgirls reproduce if their are no catboys?
>>690294539I'm pretty sure /tg/ had a whole world concept built for this
>>690294539Like this!also there is a catboy in the bos burger
>>690294681
>>690293532Makes me think of that one tales of Symphonia town where you take the water train to some theme park
>>690294717do the ghost birth the cat girls? alsohe looks like a boy but since their are no other boys im assuming she just has really short hair
>>690294681did they ever get to reproduction? my two theories are cloning or that the males and females live separately like the bunny girls from FFXII
>>690294539futa catgirls
>>690292554its because thats from out of bounds so most of the shit id deloaded
>>690292313this for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP8uBFQHSG4
>>690295038can futas be fertile?
>>690294539Gerudo-style dominant female genes, no need to worry there. The real endangered species are kemono girls, where catgirls came from to begin with.
>>690294998>did they ever get to reproduction?I think they did, it was either cloning or something with bone marrow maybe? I can't remember, but iirc the basis was that our world was flooded, scientist slowly helped humanity adapt, shit was forgotten and now adventorous catgirls scour the ruins of old humanity for cool shit
>>690291481This is true, but Sonic Adventure games have that insane sega blue sky. I only picked up Final Fantasy X when I was a kid because of the blue sky on the manual kek

>>690291380Look up "frutiger aero" to see more of it.Yeah I kinda miss it, even though the 2000s was a pretty poopy time... Except for video games, that was good, but everything else was poopy.
>>690291698man this has so much kino, i want to die. i hope heaven is nice
>>690295590 fffffffucking alberta mnanfuuuuuuuuck
>>690295916The beach used to be a fun and relaxing place but then, well ya know.
>>690294539Parthenogenesis, idiot
>>690295916It's true, I was 7 in 2000. The colors were more vivid and the ocean was a brilliant turquoise blue. Technology, social media, terror attacks and climate change have changed everything. The planet is in a dying state and it's looking like it.

I got to spend a few years on a tropical island but I grew up black and no one ever taught me how to swim so I never got to fully enjoy it. I’m planning on taking swimming lessons soon but I still regret it.

>>690301915Different aesthetics and eras but I agree that Fruty Ackero fags are the worst
>>690293189I loved this stage. Pure vibes,
>>690300062>>690304063>Both posts that talk about how ridiculous AI posting is start with holy shit
Beaches suck ass in real life. There's niggers everywhere, there's zero space on the actual beach to even set up, zoomers sprinting and screaming. Can't close your eyes for a second because your shit will get stolen in an instant, if you're even remotely attractive you will be stared at. A small ice cream will cost you $20. To truly experience the Sunshine vibes IRL you'd need to be a billionaire who can afford going to a private island resort. Why does real life suck dick?
>>690313124This is just a problem with your country and humanity, leave beaches out of your grievances.

>>690313124This is true some of the time, unfortunately. But I had a great experience during Covid on a beach in Vietnam. No one there, all to myself.
>>690292313>eat it love it want it take it.... WHYYYYYY
>>690313124oh I forgot to mention the worst of it - THERES FUCKING TRASH EVERYWHERE. both visible and hidden. can't even walk the beach without the worry that a shard of glass will embed itself in your foot.
Living on a small island sucks and it's boring as shit.
>>690313124You cant go to the places known for beaches. The bigger tourist-pull there is the worst it is.I think the best beaches end up being in bum-fuck nowhere on some random fresh water lake as a result. Northern Michigan comes to mind.
>>690316482>You cant go to the places known for beachesYeah, you can. Went to the Bahamas last year, and instead of going to the main island I went to one of the tiny, barely populated islands. Beach was empty all day.

>>690317770Sonic 06 would have been a really good game if it wasnt for the fact that is completely broken unplayable garbage. But it had potential, and the fan fixed versions are very good. I wish sonic went back to that kind of games
>>690315651I dont hate AI, i just think bad art and AI art have things in commonThat "25 year old trash" is a real example of a handcrafted game zoomie. There are only around 4 Handcrafted games made after 2018
>>690317929I wish we got another game like Sonic Adventure, with hub worlds and Chao Gardens.
Starfy
>>690317931Super schizo.
>>690317895Its the one I played as a kid, everything was so magical. I wonder if kids playing new horizons feel the same way we did when we played the gamecube game
>>690291380The rise of washed out colors in vidya correlates with the rise of LCD displays. CRTs had better contrast and color saturation, so games were designed around that. My only hope is that the gaining popularity of OLED displays and similar display tech that has better contrast and saturation will lead to better colors in games again.
>>690318093SOUL!
>>690318083Same, I just want many playable characters again and more edgy stories. Edgy is trendy again so we might see something like that
>>690295989Then the blacks showed up
>>690318194you say this like LCDs somehow can't display colorit has nothing to do with it, they just got moneyhats involved and they hired a bunch of retards to control the markets.

>>690296358I was the same age and you're not remembering correctly. The beaches here were always gray and covered with rocks. If I don't visit Okinawa within the next year and experience a real life version of a FFX beach I'll kill myself.
>>690320846Bruh don’t go to Okinawa if you want ffx beach you will be disappointed. You need to go to like, the Maldives>t. Lived in Okinawa for 3 years
>>690319562I was thinking of this. There's a part really early on where you're in a little hut or shack floating on top of the waves, and there's an open pool set in the floor, and that turned some switch on in my head about how wonderful and cozy the ocean could be. That and Riven.

>>690325074I feel personally attacked by this post
>>690292489The first little island event was nice, but the inherit design of the game is too soulless. I wished they made a proper single player game. Or a online game that isn't a soulless gatcha slop because they clearly can make a good game as evident by how polished and full of soul all of Mondstat is.
>>690325074I loved this series, and wish the newer entries would get official releases in North America and Europe.>>690325295Wave Race 64 was the shit.
Crash bandicoot Twin Soulnity
>>690325074And what if gamers are mostly pretentious basket-cases who are fascinated by "liminal spaces" with insatiable desires for immersive open worlds because their fractured minds can't fulfill the desire to re-connect with nature?Spoiler Alert: all of your favorite old games were made by the last generations of people who would have a well-balanced relationship with technology, literature and cultural nuance. They were also nerds who dedicated to getting pussy at all costs.
>>690293041That looks more like a heat haze or a seaside mist thoughbeit.
>>690325634It's been so long I forgot about it. I hope we get to go back someday.
>>690326146This could look so much better without that fog games just love throwing everywhere now
will never understand these fucking threads, you're talking about like 1% of games from that era, and also saying modern games don't have water, it's some stupid bullshit I think it's way more likely you faggots just don't spend as much time looking at environments in new games now you're not kids anymore
>>690326672amazing looking water
Any Anime that has this feel?There's stuff like Tenchi that brings the Autumn Vibe. Is there any anime that bring that 2000s Beach vibe?
>>690326672I pay attention in new games too; I just want to feel nostalgic.
>>690326847Yes look up footage from the invasion of Okinawa
>>690326365It's not fog you don't like about that, it's the color palette. If it was a more saturated and had a more limited variety in colors it would appeal to you better. But in regards to fog, without it games tend to look bad. Even old N64/PS2 games had effects emulating distant fog, like OOT or Okami off the top of my head. Or if you look at >>690291430 there's fog there too.Genshin(and a lot of modern games) have way more fog of course but it also has a 10000x larger draw distance, those islands are pretty far away from the player.>>690326672You seem like you haven't lurked much. /v/ has been making these threads forever and it's about the vibe and colors and modern games usually doing have them. Old games had way more unique water effects, literally every game was different from the next. And even 25 years ago games had more effort put into water than what you see in games today.

>>690292901>people need time time and more timeall the games in OP were made in like a week. the tech is the problem, not a lack of time. We need to admit as a community that HD was a mistake and go back to making games for 480p screens at the most.
>>690327363NTA, I dislike it too, and it's definitely the fog, not the color selection. If the further islands looked crisp and clear, the picture would look better.
>>690311925what game?
>>690327931Well like I said, lots of the old beach kino games had fog too. It's just that this one is much bigger so you'll see more fog. And the palette is less saturated too. Fog gives open world games volume too, it might not look good in screenshots but you feel it while playing them. And the game needs it to be consistent, some areas look very bad without fog.https://youtu.be/ZTFrXWSWdpI?si=U3yJxFxCruBIAG1G>>690328285Breath of Fire 4 I think.
>>690317834Reading Kapp'n's dialogue as a kid was always such a trip.>Say there, laddie... Are ye close to your father? I never knew mine, but I've heard tell he were mad..>Yar, listen, kid...

Now, don't take me wrong, but I really hate squirrels...>Have ye ever spent a night in a Hyrulian prison?>I like a women with a little meat on her bones, if ye catch my drift lad.
>>690328384ah, thanks, i always meant to try out the breath of fire games.
>>690322341are you retarded
>>690328384Eeeeh. It looks better sometimes, worse at others.I guess it needs some fog, some happy medium between none and now.
>>690329208I mostly agree but when you're playing the game there are plenty of areas where you aren't getting fog so I think it adds texture to the game, in the grand scheme.I just checked what the volumetric fog setting does but it doesn't seem to do much.
>>690323526Xenoblade is also a game that captures that feeling of a great adventure. Something that newer games really struggle to do, despite their size.

>>690291380Global warming was very popular back then, but then they made the Sequel "Climate change" and it was such an insult to the franchise, everyone dropped frutiger aero. Also, something about Japanese whaling, but that single far-left activist Paul Watson died or disappeared.
>>690333978If I had ultimate power I would kill everyone involved in whaling.... It's pretty much the worst crime in my opinion.
>>690332238Fellow suu appreciatorI wanna drown inside of her, she's so cute
Why were there so many tropical games from 2002-2007?
>>690291671>>690291683Cross was a shit game and a shit sequel.
>>690320846okinawa has maybe a few beaches actually like that. a lot of them are fairly rocky. lots of really cool tidepools though if you like that.
Do niggas not know what frutiger aero is in 2024?
>>690291380Maybe if you sandniggers didn't crash a plane into the twin towers we would still have sandy beaches in video games today.

>>690345643There really is an east/west divide on this board. Theres just as much nekomimi girls as there is western games.
>>690344565no they look more like this
Frutiger Aero is the last sort of aesthetic with some sort of ethos etched into itNowadays art is literally fucking dead
>be microsoft>release a game that heavily dips into the jungle-beach aesthetic>make it UWP exclusive to push windows 10>take it down from the store so it becomes inaccessible because fuck the consumer I guess?what were they thinking
>>690294882Their population has a ratio of 20 females for every 1 male. Truly an apocalyptic setting.

why does looking at beaches and listening to Sanctuary from KH2, make me inconsolably sad? I turn into a fucking mess every time.
I lived in Micronesia from 1998-2001 so when I moved back to the US and got a PS2 all I did was hang out at the beaches in Kingdom Hearts and FFX.Cast Away came out and everyone on the island lost their shit trying to larp on the beach.

>>690348434the new beaches are not as comfy as the old beaches>>690324459
>>690345870I was obsessed with this game. I played and liked it more than Mario Kart 64
>>690347853thanks
>>690348434see >>690346779
>>690348449Such beautiful sceneryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V9TexTsp7Q
>>690348562Perfect art design
>>690348434Cause beaches in new games look drab and depressing
>>690346381I'd say the last one with an optimistic ethos, one that thought that the future would be better and tech and nature would be able to work in harmony. Modern corpo-art has an ethos and its just trying to convince you that they're your safe, unthreatening friends so you give them more money. Using products is sold as being just like hanging out with friends, art is now "content" that you consume instead of experience with others, etc.
had pretty comfy waters too
>>690349578that jumping noise including the landing will forever be burned into my memory

Beachcore revival when?
>>690350703nevercurrent devs lack soul
>>690350467Ep2 just has some lovely environments, at least in CCA. The rest of seabed is kind of unremarkable but that's one of my favorite setpiece rooms.
I really like the beach level in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
amazing looking water
>>690325074That's better than visiting those virtual beaches as a kid and reminiscing in a thread about them 20 years later.
>>690291380I love it but this thread makes me very sadYou guys have no idea how much I want to go back...

>>690291380>we will never have this level of undiluted kino in gaming ever againIt hurts
Bit of a different one but I always loved the Azores in fate of Atlantis
>>690293950It's the dev's fault, not the engine. Visions of Mana is UE4 and it looks incredibly soulful
>>690295989Fucking niggers and brazilians showed with with their loud shitty music. Seriously, why can't these races go to nature without tons of noise. They always have to bring tons of beer and crappy music.
>>690313124>>690316482I live in Hawaii, I don't know what you faggots are doing to your beaches, but ours are pristine and I have never had a valuable stolen on the beach
>>690352704I'm jelly. The closest beach to me has shit brown water
>>690351734>up to the fire benevodonHow much of the game do I have left? It's been a comfy ride.
>>690352810No idea, I'm still at the water one but I'd assume it's just mopping up the benevdons then doing a fake final boss and a real one after that.
>>690324459It takes more effort for high resolution assets to blend together
>>690295916ys 8 came out in 2016
>>690351163what is this game?
>>690353238I think its phantasy star online episode 4 or phantasy star universe. It's phantasy star something for sure
>>690294539There are no cat boys. Cat girls exist solely to breed with human boys
>>690353561Depressing as fuck
For me it;s the beach you start on in ATV trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJTFsmG6jQo
>>690348434The point is nostalgia you obtuse dunderfuck. Nobody cares about your sloppa game because it's not games we're talking about in this thread about old games. You are not wanted here or irl please fucking kill yourself.

>>690291481Final Fantasy X had it for the first half of the game
>>690292489get out
>>690358704Hate Chrono Cross all you want, the game had some beautiful environments and backgrounds.
>>690291380why was this so popular back then
>>690358704Keep coping, Cross is peak tropical kino
>>690358342What do I think it means?
>>690359390You tell me first, just so I can be sure. But I have some educated guesses based on how much you chose to post of the article.
>>690291380Posting underrated BeachpunkOn topic, it's fine to argue whether Master Chief and whoever should be on that image, but the one character who ABSOLUTELLY must be in it is Sora.
I really want to go back to the 2000s and I'm tired of pretending we're living a better and more convenient time today because of some ADHD zoomers who can't bear waiting an extra two seconds for their apps to open and load up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDwb16a4M0AI want to go back
>>690359114It was a very simple way to show off how much the hardware had progressed, and japanese people just happen to like making tropical-themed environments since they live in or around them (depending on the region).
>>690291380>>690346824Reminder that this is just a reflection of Japan being in the economic boom that they were and all their population being able to travel out of the big city into the beaches of japan and out of japan to places like Hawaii and Brazil which have a large Japanese population.

>>690358354>trine 1quite soulful, the enchanted edition has the graphics updated to the trine 2 engine for free, but you can still turn it off if you want to see the sharp visuals>trine 2peak trine when played hardcore + no respawning, it's DLC remains kind of unmatched by newer entries>trine 3don't even bother, unfinished story which ending you can only find out in trine 4's bonus content>trine 4good enough, the DLC is unconnected levels (dreams) and it's not really pozzed but...>trine 5every level's music is a remix of a previous track except for 3, zoya is now probably a lesbian, the artifact is back even tough it was canonically destroyed in previous chapters and goderic would be the coolest villain trine has to offer if he wasn't such a cucksimp for sunny, if any of the previous stuff doesn't bother you, go ahead and play it
>>690291380How is it ? Does it compares to the previous ones ? I don't have a switch so I didn't pay attention when it released.

>>690363076ironically no one actually played wow, it was all chinese bots and inflated chinese numbers from people paying to play 30 minutes on the pc counting as a whole unique subscription player despite the fact it was the same guy that was playing just asking to extend his time.
>>690291380Why was there so much of it? Only thing I can figure is that thats around the time they "figured out" water in both gameplay and graphically
>>690363589>too much water
>>690363636gen 3 was kino, Im not complaining
>>690363589We were hopeful once...
