>games are as good as ever you're just being nostalgic
>it's just because you were a kid back then
>you have depression it's not the games' fault
>you're a jaded adult now you're not seeing things rationally
>3 out of the 6 pictures are from Legend of ManaVery unique aesthetics, broseph. I almost shat myself from the uniqueness, like Trump.
>>732305606>>3 out of the 6 pictures are from Legend of ManaThey're not though
>>732305649Top left and the bottom two are from it thougheverbeit.
>>732305705Nope
>>732305349Breath of the Wild and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity
>>732305349Take me back
>>732307095Is this remake any good?
>>732305349Anime games have always been shit though
>>732305349Post PC specs
>>732305705Top left is Romancing Saga 2
>>732308615*Saga Frontier 2 I mean
>>732305349
>>732305349This comes down to fixed camera VS free camera Fixed camera was more than just a graphics limitation, it was an artform in and of itself.It allowed developers to create bespoke, memorable set pieces that would be a shared experienced by all players
nice cherry picking thread. I love being negative about everything too.
>>732308705>top>looks like shit>bottom>looks goodWhat's the problem
>>732305349BotW is the ugliest one there.
>>732309046Genshin is in that pic. Maybe you missed it.
"Anime" isn't a visual style
Yeah games are being decided by bland focus testers and marketers and not passion projects and it shows
>>732305396How is top supposed to be better
>>732309380looks good
>>732308705Heh, based
>>732305349which game is bottom left?
>>732305349Hand painted by Artist vs. procedural generated slop
>>732309380SOVLVERLOAD.
>>732308145Sadly yes, the gameplay improvements make it hard to pass on that version, even with all the issues.
>>732305705If you can't pick out the SaGa games then you don't play enough JRPGs.
>>732305349UE5 engine, its aesthetics and hyperrealism fucked shit up. Seems like they haven't heard of "art direction". Can Valve just make Source 2 open for everyone? It will finally create some game variety.
>you're just cherry picking bro stop being so negative
>>732305349Why did you cherry pick a bunch of images that show grasslands and forests on the right but a on the left you have a variety of different things? Are you saying that modern games don't have towns, building and beaches anymore?
>>732309039Bottom one looks like dog shit
>>732305575The difference in those is a crime. We loat all the grid and dirty that helped send the message that the city was fucked.
>>732305349>Trying to slip Gacha in there
>>732310090Bottom was made to look consistent on a CRT, top was made to intentionally look jarring as fuck
>>732310015One of them is also from Baten Kaitos, which is a game that set out to intentionally make hand drawn, gorgeous backgrounds in an era where that was long gone.
>>732310331Fucking knew I recognized that castleIt was itching the back of my brain
>>732305349>all that anti-soul fog on the right
>>732310154We dont play on CRT monitors in 2026 unc
>>732305785Not him, but what's the bottom right of the older games side?
>>732310331>>732310437>>732311706 hereThanks, niggas.
>>732305970they also fucked up the hitboxes and jumping, making the game fucking unfun.
>>732311971>making the game fucking unfun.So it was faithful to the original.
>>732305349>anime game
>>732305349i love me my old games, but taking pictures of actual locations, and comparing them to transitional spots is retarded. if i just showed the world map from the older games, and then showed the main set piece/landmark of each town on the right, it would look just as bad to the left.right does have them, but its either fewer/further between, or sometimes just done for the sake of doing it, rather than because the devs had a passion to make the landmark.
>>732305349Name of the game on the top right on the left?
>>732305705>>732311706Bottom right is Baten Kaitos
>>732312562Games on left:SaGa Frontier 2 / Grandia (1)Final Fantasy 7 / Chrono CrossLegend of Mana / Baten Kaitos
