Did aesthetics peak with gen 5?
>>12542484Quite possibly. It seems like many companies, both Jap and USA, just defaulted tο "realism" in the 6th gen so a lot of character models and environments just felt drab and ugly.
Yes. I love the mishmash of styles and experimentation at the time. In something like Shining Force 3 each character is depicted three ways: 3D prerender (overworld), 3D real time model (combat) and traditional pixel art (portrait).
>>12542623Shining Force III looks amazing
>>12542627That's the best the Saturn can do in 3D models?Quite patheticHard mog by Naomi hunter and Mei Ling in MGS VR missions
>>12542654No, the best is Final Fight Revenge
>>12542654Probably not but still looks good. Life would be boring if every art style is the same. A bit like the state of threads these days, as well as people who shit on the saturn because they are still mad they couldn't afford one when they were released
>>12542658>as people who shit on the saturn because they are still mad they couldn't afford one when they were released?For most of their lifespam PS1 and Saturn were the same pricePeople just choose PS1 because it's the best console by far
https://youtu.be/5tCkcCT1QAE?si=VkrKJjdCSW2NerXE just look at those models,the best of any 5th gen gamesThey even have 5 fingers and blinksPS1 SUPERIORITY
>>12542484afraid not
>>12542484It really was... PERFECT 2D and SOVL 3D.
>>12542484Remastering all ps1 games into the style of ps5 is the best idea they ever had Too bad they only did this for the skateboarding games They should actually do it for all the best ps1 games
I know this thread is going to become an early 3D circlejerk but 2D games of that era are underrated and overlooked, specially stuff that looked technologically advanced. Pic related is extremely atmospheric and I feel the advent of newer systems can't quite match that vibe anymore, as shown by the dogshit remake.
>>12542484it's just nostalgiapeople were saying the same about snes pixelart, about PSX 3D, about PS2 and so onPeople are saying that for minecraft aesthetics too. Just nostalgia from a specific period of your childhood/life
>>12543568This is always the dumbest fucking argument in these threads. Like saying oh this painting is only liked by people born of that era.No art is eternal and subjective and you are a fat fucking retard.
>>12543568Nah no modern game ever try to replicate "PS2 graphics" unlike NES,SNES or PS1 There is a sense of craftsmanship not present on modern consoles PS2 graphics is just modern graphic but bad
>2Dpeak around 1999 >3Dpeak around 2002
