This, plus people had begun to tire of Mario's unrelenting influence after 15+ years. It was gaming's edgy teenage phase, we didn't know what we were doing.

They didn't. you just stopped playing them

you know, i always wanted to make a big ass open world game using unreal, but at the same time, i wanted it to be visually like a ps1 game. is it possible to make a AA game look indie?

Who remembers when video game water was just a texture on the top instead of transparent?

If they ever make a new Jak and Daxter, I hope they go back to the old world. One game wasn't really enough to really enjoy it.

Game devs legitimately don't go outside anymore. Same goes for every aspect of the entertainment industry past 2010. The meta favors "creatives" who are hyperfocused on their "craft", thus never experiencing the real world, building real experiences and feeling real emotions. They are stuck in a perpetual cycle of creative circle jerking with their favorite, preexisting media. How can they replicate a vast horizon if the only horizon they know is a smog ridden hellscape? How can they capture raw emotion if the only emotion they know is the one expressed in movies and music? How can they possibly measure the feeling of venturing out into the wilderness if they can barely muster the courage to open the door to the food delivery jeet?

This is far more common than you think.

need people with actual talent to produce a platformer with SOVL

>>716390414
unironically this is the answer.

GTA 3 was such a groundbreaking game that everyone felt they had to do similar and many consumers even turned away from "kiddie games" that didn't have violence and the freedom of action of GTA.

Donkey Kong Bananza just came out

People stopped buying them. If studios thought fun/bright platformers still sold they'd be making them en masse.

genshin impact perfected the overworld collect-a-thon formula and no one one sees a point in trying to one-up it.

>>716390326 (OP)
i'm sure a lot of kids like me never liked games that looked like they were made for kids
also never liked 3d platformers too much, i always was more inclined to playing games with combat and building up your gear rather than platforming, megaman legends comes to mind
and also jak looks really offputting

>>716390326 (OP)
Open world games fill the same collectathon niche now.

>>716390326 (OP)

Bananza is ADHD sandbox garbage, the game plays like Nintendo DLC for Minecraft whose goal is getting as many particle effects on screen as possible at all times, it's completely devoid of any serene qualities

Mario games other than Sunshine are obstacle course slop

>>716402167
That's something someone who didn't play the game would say, which is no surprise on /v/.

Specifically naughtydog was eaten from the inside out and the whole studio is basically a skinwalker pretending to be the old studio.

Sadly, I don't think they did. But those dogshit games were outdated even when they were new.

its funny because every old creative holds this same opinion. Several of the OG animators in japan lament the death of the medium because animators and LN writers dont have lived experiences and just ape what already exists

Yup. It even directly affected Jak 2 onward.

I loved the influence anime had on gen-x artist during y2k era. It's been almost 25 years but Keira's design is still timeless, hot, and stylish as I remember. The designer just wanted to make a cute hot elf girl for the bros and that was it.

Jak & Daxter is my least favorite of the PS2 trio solely because of the fact that it’s an inconsistent franchise and suffers from an identity crisis thanks to Jak 2 wanting desperately chase a trend.

You can’t really ask anyone “What’s Jak and Daxter about?” without it being a trick question unlike Ratchet & Clank or Sly Cooper that are both consistent and had a clear idea of what those series wanted to be.


>Ratchet: A cat alien and robot venture through planets blasting shit with an arsenal of purchasable weapons that earned by collecting bolts.

>Sly: A raccoon thief and his gang of anime crime buddies go on heists with stealth based platforming and perform various missions/tasks that outsmart villains.

>Jak: uh…well it’s about an elf boy and his sidekick that go adventures I guess?the first is kinda like a open world crash bandicoot/mario 64 platformer but then the second game goes full edge in copying gta with guns and then the third game is more like mad max with racing…?

Jak desperately needs a reboot if it comes back, just to have an identity.

Keira got shafted hard after the first game. Her face gets less cute and she basically does this whole 180 in personality, until she stops talking in 3 and gets replaced by Tara Strong in X.

>>716390880
Hayao Miyazaki was writing journal essays about this in the 1980s. Basically said all Japanese animators want to draw giant robots and copy each other, no one studies real machines or nature. He says animators should be studying history and the real world more and stop reading manga for inspiration.

Same problems in the games industry, but multiplied tenfold because of pinterest and google and artstation and a library of videos of every game ever made to study.

>>716390326 (OP)
Nintendo still makes these types of games. Unfortunately, if you want to play them, you'd have to buy Nintendo. As for everyone else, I think they don't make these games because gamers back then were desperately trying to shake the idea that games were for kids and they wanted people to take them seriously. Every studio pivoted to more "mature" looking games in response.

Water died at some point in the early 10s.

>>716390326 (OP)
They stop making them because everyone was making them. The market became too saturated. This is one of the reason why Half Life became a success because it stood out with its dark and kafkian motifs then everybody started copying it.

>tfw you'll never play Jak and Dexter for the first time ever again

duskfade is a game coming out that i am hoping has the sauce to give me a throwback to the glory days of ps2 platformers and action RPGs.

The Big Catch is doing that already, but it's going for the Spyro pastel gradient look.

i played the demo it was pretty nice. the style is pretty good too but i have no clue about how to replicate something like that. is it just deliberate under sampling or something? or are the textures directly painted at lowres?

very good! thats what an incomplete game looks like anon

Generally old 5th gen games took a real life photo (usually from a popular texture cd set) and just downsampeled it. PS1 did no filtering (raw pixels), while the n64 did trilinear filters (basically modern filtering but slightly less accurate)

>>716415998
Thanks! It's done via vertex deformation. Simple but it does the job.
