Pixel art means nothing without a CRT

Is it a game or just one of those faggy fake screenshots things?
>>738985558There are some studios that still try. But you don't buy their games.
>>738987818slop
>>738987818>>7389822713D open world sequel?
>>738987818Not a fan of the Tengo Project art style, the color count is far too high and the fucking glowy bloom effects ruin it. Why even make it pixel art at that point? It's antithetical to the medium.
>>738986908>>738987818At this resolution you're better off painting with a wacom the traditional way.
>>738989561Not really, at 1:1 pixel art has charm that regular raster art can't replicate
>>738989608I dunno, if by charm you mean aliasing and color banding everywhere, sure...
>>738982843cringe
>>738989902The magic of 1:1 pixel art is that it sells the illusion better than regular digital art
>>738989507Ugh, always the pseudo-artists who come out for these posts.There's not even any bloom in that picture, ignoramus.
>>738991003Not him but here's some bloom
>>738990394False
>>738982271still waiting for someone to use ai to make a full high detail 2d pixel art game
>>738982271I know things grow and change but 2D is the core of video games. You can look at just about any 2D game and your brain immediately goes "This is a video game" 3D stuff doesn't automagically do that
>>738993103in defense of 3D: Tony Hawkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4hFnlEkIcY
>>738987818nigger at that point just run your regular assets through a pixelizer
>>738989507Not all pixel art is trying to be retro
>>738993103Based.
Indie games have ruined pixel art. Everything feels so fake now.
>>738982843On the contrary it's no longer pixel art if you can't see the pixels, it's just regular 2D art.
>>738991003Based retard.
>>738993103How so? By and large nothing but 3D video games has ever looked much like 3D video games. Not early CGI in live-action movies, not early CGI in animated movies, not even those cheap-looking 3D-rendered TV shows for kids.
>>738991803vanillaware games would look great if only they bothered with actual animations
>>738997617>Moves goalpost
>>738997809Unless you're looking at a slideshow how art assets are animated is very important.
>>738997917>Proceeds to post pixel art animated the same way as Vanillaware sprites

>>738982271game? this looks like an example of a good remaster, the redraw of the boss keeps the exact details and x factor which give it character
>>738989902>anon can only appreciate pixel art when it doesn't look like pixels
>>738982271True(Play Valfaris it's ludo)
>>738989507yeah man the medium is defined by how many colors 40 year old hardware could handle lmao
>>738982843All handhelds since the Game Boy in 1989 have always had LCD screens.
>>739002476That ost was fucking garbage tho.Like it made me angry how basic bitch the music was and how terrible the tone was. It sounded like a 15 watt budget amp with gain maxxed out and they barely tuned their guitar.Yes I am still mad about all the "ost is fucking great" reviewsT. Metal guitar guy
>>739003263I mean yeah, when you want to make something look like a comic book you imitate the stuff comics were forced to do when they were made and printed on paper worse than toilet paper, when you want to have something evoke a book you imitate physical books with their paper pages instead of infinitely scrollable digital books, when you want something to look like a cartoon you cel shade it with two colors because soft shading was cost prohibitive when drawing that many frames etcMediums are defined by their expression when they were the most limited
>>739005397this post is somehow even more retarded.like yeah man referencing the glossy high quality print comics of the 90s is somehow not authentic it actually has to be the piss colored 50s shit nobody cares about anymore.
>>739005636If you want to evoke comic books doing pic related will do it faster than any comic book style from the last 20-30 years
>>739007902most people alive havent even seen these type of grandpa comics once and are used to something closer to pic related, which lacks the piss, is printed on good paper and is generally well drawn.hell, my whole continent knows donald duck and asterix comic books more than american capeshit.its just a ridiculously arbitrary restriction and just as stupid as saying that pixel art should adhere to specific color limits.as if devs didnt adjust to the color jumps from atari->NES->SNES->PS1 as much as they could.
>>739003887I'm sorry to learn that it was phoned in, ignorance is bliss.
>>738982271What do you call the bottom artstyle? I don't know how to describe it, but it looks like drawn fake 16 bit grpahics, like it used a filter. I fucking hate it and hate how every indie slop thinks that's what games in the 90s looked like
>>738983039>Not all pixel art was designed for a crt.Out of curiosity, are there any non-indie examples?
>>739010694Handhelds
>>739008385>which lacks the pissThe yellow pages come from the aging of the poor quality paper. New comics at the time, including shitty paper comics would not have looked yellow.
>>739003263No you dumb nigger, my point isn't that pixel art needs to emulate some arbitrary hardware limits. Using colors that are too close to each other literally makes the pixel borders less visible, if you're going out of your way to use pixel art in the modern day then the assumption is that you'd want the pixels to be actually visible and well-defined. If you want to use smooth color transitions and gradients then pixel art is not the right medium, you have regular digital art for that. Use some fucking thought behind your creative decisions.In fact, colors being too close to each other is always, without exception, a bad thing in pixel art regardless of the total color count. Too many colors guarantees it will happen, and it definitely does happen in Tengo Project games.
>>739010106>hate how every indie slop thinksYou're asking for help to describe the concept and can't even name 1 game
>>739010694Everytime someone brings up CRTs they always follow it up with the same set of example images from dog shit displays. If you played any arcade game back in the day, the image quality was razor sharp. You'll easily see the sharp pixels.
>>738982271Looks like garbage without a CRT.
>>739013076Even a consumer TV set looks beautiful and clear when it's running with RGB or Component.
>>739014626Pixel art made for LCDs exists
>>738982843>>739014626The type of retards who use CRT filters on Game Boy games
>It feels like the way games are supposed to lookI'll respect your opinion but for me it's 3D graphics from PS2 to early PS3 that are more like how vidya is supposed to look.2D games are fine ofc, but >>>738982843this.They need a CRT.
>>738982271I haven't thought about The Legendary Axe in like 37 years. Hell, I'd play a remaster.
all pixel art developers should be forced to make their games normal instead
>>739016610now to play the slightest devil’s advocate wasn’t there some peripheral that allowed you to hook up the Game Boy line to a TVthough even with that in mind it’s still really fringe
>>739017098fucky that
>>739017098are the ones of the left supposed to look good?
>>738987818I fucking loved this game man. I was shocked a throwback game like this actually stood up to the originals, even surpassing them. I had a great time playing this daily for score attack.
>>739017947yeah it was great
Starfield's are almost as impressive.
>>738987818There is a new Pocky and Rocky?
>>738982271>DAE 30-year-old technology??KYS
>>738982280is the thing n the right a fan reimagining or some sort of official port? either way it looks kinda cool i guess.
>>739012394Go on steam under the 2d indie shit category or better yet look here >>738987818It looks like it's some animated shit for a cartoon instead of a video game
>>739017947>>739018209reimu-chan (classic)???
>>739005636>piss colored 50s shit nobody cares about anymore.50s and 60s comic books generally mog almost anything made in the 90s. sorry>Stan Lee's Marvel stuff, Strange Tales, Fantastic Four, Spidey, etc>EC's Tales From The Crypt, Two Fisted Tales, etc>Warren's Blazing Combat, Eerie, Creepy, etc.>Dr Solar Man Of The Atom>Turok>Archie>Classics Illustrated>Magnus: Robot Fighter
>>738982280Cute.
>>739010694>Out of curiosity, are there any non-indie examples?.. everything since the Game Boy? What, do you think LCDs are CRTs?
>>739010694Like that other anon said, handhelds, Gameboy Advanced and DS games were the home of pixel art for much the 2000s once consoles sort of ditched that style, and before Indie games became big.
>>739024196Cartoons aren't pixel art, take your meds 'bro'
I'll always be way more excited for a game with good pixel art over something 3D.
>>739017098Who the fuck on /v/ wants indie games to look like Celeste? You're making up people in your schizo head.
>>739023237Those blues and greens on the boat/water are gorgeous imo, although I didn't love this game too much. >>739024076Ah, so this was an April Fool's joke by WayForward? I found a site through Yandex lol.
>>739023237Anyone have recommendations for CRT filters that look like this for my pixel art
>>738982271For me, it's 2.5D
>pixel art is meant to look blurry because of le crts!meanwhile NES coverarts
>>739033482>not the original japanese art
>>738987818that color banding looks hideous, what the fuck were they thinking
>>739033864that's irrelevant to the discussion.
>>739013076>Everytime someone brings up CRTs they always follow it up with the same set of example images from dog shit displays.Yep, it's always from this ignorant perspective that interlaced TV + fuzzy RF/composite connection was the only option until the 2000s, when you had RGB, VGA and PC monitors for most of the pixel art era.
>>738987818We do asshole, but they expect to sell 5-10 million copies and download and pay 80$ for a physical copy.
Pixel art with CRT shaders always looks awesome to me, even when it's a native PC game. The Messenger looks fantastic this way. Just annoying having to use reshade, wish more new pixel art games came with CRT shader options out of the box.
>>739017607>top bottom right>thinking its Bushiden>it is notWhat the fuck happened to this game?https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046920/Bushiden/
>>739034057>what the fuck were they thinkingThat it's not good pixel art if you have perfect gradations?
>>739034571>copyright website auto updates>still nothing>7 FUCKING YEARS!You see why most people just make mockups and dont go beyound that? MUST FANGAMES AND PROJECTS LIKE THIS CRASH AND BURNhttp://www.bushiden.com/
