Thread 714881520

What is the name for this artstyle where it tries to mimick retro pixelart, but the artists have no idea what they're doing and it looks like dogshit?

pixelart + dogshit = pixelshit
english, it's that easy

I don't think they're trying to mimic retro art. They are just using pixels rather than hand drawing it or using 3D models.

pixelart in non crt monitors looks like dogshit vomit

The game would look about 50x better if it just used the cel-shaded style of the UI and cutscenes for gameplay instead of this pixel vomit.

>>714881520 (OP)
Is this trying to mimic something or is it just an art style that so happens to use a hard edged brush?

>>714882284
No the fuck it doesn't lmao.

>>714882294
That's just your opinion. I think the pixels look alright.

Pretty much, yes. No idea why are you defending Wayforward so vehemently.

>>714881520 (OP)
Looks fine to me. Guess I’m retarded and/or blind and/or have low standards.

>>714882805
Explain how.
... and no, I believe that 100% of people who shitpost about "modern pixel art" being lazy or automatically bad are retarded. I haven't played this game.

CRT eliminates the jaggies, color contrast and gives it a 3d effect dumb newgen

nta, dont know what game that is, and never heard of wayforward. using pixel art doesnt mean you are mimicking retro pixel art. it just means youre using pixel art.

There's a certain type of autist here who gets real angry when a game using pixelart doesn't look exactly like the one NES or SNES game he played when he was 8.

And yet, despite having a CRT, I still prefer to play my retro games on my 4k OLED with raw pixels. Personal preference is a thing.

But some games do benefit more from CRT. ALTTP is a game that looks really good on modern displays because they went for a very sharp and clean look.

>>714883210
Yeah that's kinda what it boils down to, isn't it? "This is how you're supposed to use pixels. Why aren't you using pixels like that? God you're bad at this."

>>714882407
If someone uses oil paint over acrylics does that mean they are trying to be like a Renaissance painter? Or is it just a medium to paint something with?

>>714883358
No, it just looks like shit. It's one of the ugliest possible implementations of pixel-art

>>714883071
CRT effects only matter if the game makes heavy use of dithering or subpixel movement, retard.

>>714883430
>it just looks like shit
im not disagreeing. but it also isnt trying to look like an 8/16-bit game.

>>714883430
Explain how beyond just saying "it's ugly". The screenshot you posted looks perfectly ok to me.
