That's bullshit. Windwaker, Sunshine, SA , FFX and Chrono Chross had a very vibrant color palette that still feels warm and refreshing to this day. Halo literally is just grey, dark blue and dull green colors for the vast majority of the game. It probably was the cause of the drab colors in most 7th gen shooters.

At least that's one place where I get why it's so goddamn expensive to live there. It's overcrowded and they basically built all the properties they can.

It's an okay game(outside of the Flood missions and the Library), it just doesn't really fit in with the whole crystal-blue water summer vibes the other games in the OP embody.

There's like one beach in that entire game and it's not as clean and aesthetic as the other games' beaches, which either make up all of most of their respective games.

It has the ruins of a submerged tropical civilization which are next to the beach. Plus, you play that stage as several different characters in that game so you come back to that beach over and over again. You're only in that beach section in Halo once.

We don't have to bring anything back, there's so much good retro stuff yet to play for all of us to enjoy, if we started playing all of the titles we're interested in right now, in years we'll all probably still be playing, with a lot of titles still left to go. The current video game industry's mostly awful, with few exceptions, and it's expensive, I don't see why anyone would hold onto it so much now.

You're so cool and collected, you are randomly accusing random people of malice in their reasoning when they give it to you and imagining them as "pants shittingly" mad. Totally not mad at all that someone dare question why a game with basically no beaches is on a picture about 6th gen games with beaches.

The guy from the OG Far Cry would have been a more sensible FPS candidate for that 6th gen water feel since the entire game takes game on an island in the Pacific.

Pitcarn island. Filled with inbred pedophiles but the British Government gives them millions of dollars a year to live there.
Because it has a population of like 30 people, all you need is 31 people and you can literally stage a takeover of the Government, since it's literally has a voting system run by the British Government.

The late 90's and early 2000's had a lowkey obsession with beach settings.
Some say it was just because games and CGI in general got powerful enough to render water effects but there was shows obsessed with it too, MTV annual coverage of Spring Break is a good example.
I think if gets trendy again it will carry over to games as well but first it needs bring it back to movies, tv series, cartoons and coverage of beach events

That's every fucking island community ever, the northeast has them too. They all think they're fucking special because they were born there and guess what? Unless you're part of the native population of Hawaii whose land got stolen from them, someone in your family had to move there first before you got to claim yourself as a true islander.
Of course this ignores that a giant chunk of its population are East Asians/SEA who immigrated there only 100 years ago anyway.

>Land wasn't "stolen"
No treaty was ever signed thus making it an illegal annexation under the law as native land can't be annexed without a treaty that accepts the ceding of territory. When McKinley tried to bring up a treaty that would make it official, Queen Lili'oukalani petitioned congress to vote against it which they did, as the treaty only received 40 votes and died in the Senate. The act violated US law, the Blount Report of the time found it to be an illegal annexation, and thus the land was stolen as control of it was never willingly reliniquished by the people.

I read it somewhere and idk how it was exactly but wasn't it mostly if not entirely because of light rendering? Something that got lost in the modern era because of "realistic" lighting.
On topic, a certain type of lighting (forgot which one) is the reason many low-poly, low-res texture games from 20-25 years ago aged gracefully and other games...didn't.

The answer is an easier one:

How many graphic engines were in 1998-2002?

How many graphic engines are in 2011-2024?

There is your answer.

Unreal engine 3.5 and backwards: GOOD

Unreal engine 4 and 5: BAD.

Kind of surprised no one posted Echo the Dolphin yet.

I call this the Aquarian Age/Atlantis aesthetic. New Age Occult ideas that permeated throughout media at the time, copied and refrenced without people understanding it other than the "vibes". These "vibes" are meant to have an unconscious influence on you in one way or the other.

>There we read that the New Cycle involves the manifestation of a new element, unknown until now, but described over and over again by HPB in terms of “water,” “waves,” “tide,” “flood,” etc.

>It is well known that the two symbols for Aquarius in astrology are (1) two zigzag lines, one over the other, representing waves, (2) the “water bearer,” a man pouring out water upon the Earth. The very name “Aquarius” is AQUA-rius, “aqua” being the Latin word for water.

>That is in Western astrology but in the ancient Indian Vedic astrology the significance and meaning of Aquarius are almost exactly the same. Called by its Sanskrit name “Kumbha” – which means “water pot” – it is strongly associated with altruism, humanitarianism, idealism, creativity, imagination, philanthropy, social reform, service, mysticism, spirituality, philosophy, elevated thinking, unity, universalism or universality, harmony, synthesis, non-dogmatism and unsectarianism, and the breaking down and dissipation of dogmatic and traditional forms and structures.

Not retro, but the new Yakuza games capture the sunny beaches/blue waters aesthetic pretty well since they take place in Hawaii. They just announced another one where Majima wakes up with amnesia and decides to become a fucking pirate king, complete with olde timey naval battles

I've been full schizo NEET for several years but this year I spent the last week of summer going by train to a resort town. Walked a ton but ended up finding a cozy beach. It was still pretty populated even though it's September but in the morning it was not half bad
More importantly I found a reason not to end it. I wanna go next year for sure, and more important than that I've learned to go looking for little pieces of heaven like that, which I didn't think existed for me as someone without a car or even a bike


Also Sora and Master Chief don't belong in that pic you retards it's about tropical themed games, which those characters games are not
>>

Chief no, Sora yes.

Cool goalposts, but I've reached them even if you decide to move them ex post facto. KH1 also has quite a lot of the islands in cutscenes and the islands are present in most, if not all, of the other games.
>>
>>11264830
>it has a tropical (tutorial) level so it fits!
>if you disagree it's because you moved the goalposts!
ok, bro
>>
>>11264837
The game is largely associated with that area and invokes the same feelings throughout, but you can cope and seethe all you want :)
>>
>>11264910
>invokes the same feelings throughout
Have you played KH1? After Destiny Islands it doesn't have any tropical themes.
>>
>>11241208
You can. You need two things - actual developers who love their craft and no "politically correct" pressure on them to make things they silently hate.
The soul is still there, otherwise nobody would see the difference between the games of times gone and today except graphics.
>>
>>11264931
The beach and tropical setting don't need to specifically be present throughout the entire game. It's still a "beach" for the most iconic part, and associated with the games enough for people to add Sora in the first place. Not only that, but the area evokes childlike wanderlust, dreams, and adventure which permeate the entire series. And they return there very often throughout the games, retro and beyond.
>>
>>11265001
You're twisting yourself into knots here. The most iconic part of KH1 is Hollow Bastion anyway.
> the area evokes childlike wanderlust, dreams, and adventure
It's only a beach. It more just evokes childhood with it being more of a nightmare just before going to Traverse Town.
> they return there very often throughout the games,
It's only playable in 1 game unless you count the box rooms from CoM.
>>
>>11265421
That's just the association, KH really is about a few kids from an island before Nomura went full Nomura.
>>
>>11265542
>Kingdom Hearts is about something other than Kingdom Hearts

What the fuck does that even mean? KH is just a straightforward young hero's tale told through basic themes of friendship and rivalry that win out over selfish desire for power, basically every Final Fantasy plot also. Sora and his friends are just on an island as a visual metaphor showing them isolated from the "world" which gives more thematic weight to them wanting to leave and explore.
>>
>>11265594
The Islands are still recurring and have a very strong association with the games, else nobody would have thought to put him there.

(in continuation)

The use of water symbolism is to prepare the masses (and the youth most importantly) for the upcoming Y2K Aquarian Age. Dipped in virtual/digital primordial waters, giving birth to the almost completely atomized new human --- the millennial/zoomer garbage generation we have today.

>Often in dreams, large bodies of water (oceans, lakes, pools) symbolize the unconscious. As with bodies of water, we often see the surface, but cannot easily see into the depths. Also, the vastness of the ocean symbolizes the vastness of the unconscious mind. Jung observed long ago that the unconscious mind was much vaster than the conscious portion. His insight has been confirmed by fascinating developments in neuroscience, where new technologies, such as particularly sophisticated MRIs have enabled brain scientists to see that the unconscious processes in the brain dwarf the conscious mind in magnitude.

Real answer: development teams continuing to increase so there's less personal touches, more marketing, trend following and producer/committee meddling as these games need to sell more, technology has stagnated to diminishing returns, less technical limitations in certain aspects like size means solutions to certain problems will result in less weird creative choices

There's probably more but this is just off the top of my head.
