Why can't developers make games that look like this anymore?
>>726106746because you can't fill it with HUD noise, MTX galore and cartoon graphics
>>726106746MODERN DEVS HAVE NO SOUL
>>726106746Because they'd have to make all of that in 40.000 polygons with 16k textures and ray tracing.ITS JUST HOW ITS DONE, DON'T ASK QUESTION OK!

What's neat about sim city 4 is all those buildings are real. they copied real life architecture almost 1:1https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=15369.0For a good starting point. Its art style is timeless.
Is this really the only game where I can build a modern city without having to become a traffic engineer?
they are tho

>>726107745>indie pixelslopit's like it's emulating an art style
Why can't they make it look like this?
>>726107745>While this game includes levels and unlockable special buildings as your population grows, the focus is on creativity and the fun of placing buildings on the map. It is not designed as a deep or complex city simulation - so if that’s what you’re after, this may not be the right game for you.Yeah no

>>726106746do you have any idea how long it takes to hand paint all those sprites?
>>726111067they are pre-rendered 3d
>>726107745that's an okay style, but let's not pretend that is anywhere close to 4>>726106746only the AoE2:DE devs managed to do this because they were passionate people who understood that you can't just recreate the 2d iso style by going full 3D>>726111067do you think modern textures are hand painted?
