2D can stay timeless.
3D can look horrible and outdated after a few years.
And that's the truth

>>717241382 (OP)
art direction matters way more than 2d and 3d

>>717241382 (OP)
Cel shaded graphics fixed this but everyone's retarded

Horrible AI art.

This game looked like shit the day it came out and looks worse now.

>>717241382 (OP)
Why did a game with such nice spritework have such strange walking and running animations?

>>717242451
What do you mean?
It was fine

>>717241382 (OP)
>AI art

>>717241382 (OP)
is it too late for me to become 2D so i can stay timeless

?

Superior Nipponese games always look good.

>>717242316
the orange box at release had insane graphics
and it served as the template for stylized video games going forward
sorry youre mad fag

>>717242648
Why do special effects look so bad in modern 3D games? I miss how flashy and "gamey" they used to look in older 3D games.

>>717241382 (OP)
what game is this?

i think that primitive 3d graphics are charming

>>717242767
Look file name

>>717242670
>cartoony bullshit
You're right, it inspired a whole generation of cartoony team-based casual shooter slop.

>>717242648
>>717242698
This is one of those fake games, right?

>>717241817

timeless 3d styles take a lot of cues from 2d styles

>>717241472
Fpbp

Seiken densetsu 3/Secret of mana 2

>>717243118
Looks like shining force

>>717243118
Dunno the exact game but looks to me like something from Camelot. Their stuff has a pretty distinctive style.

>>717243026
>VIDEOGAMES MUST BE SUPER REALISTIC ITS AN ADULT HOBBY I SWEARRR!!

>>717241535
Lol, your brain ai, lol

>>717241382 (OP)
the only people that say 2D cant look outdated are zoomers who never played them when they were new and think sprite based graphics is an "art style"

>>717243291
>>717243296
oh ok, looks like it's Shining Force III. Cool.

>>717243218
well duh, but on the flip side one can say a lot of timeless 2d styles take cues from 3d (irl), like norman rockwell playing a lot with interesting/striking lighting

>>717241382 (OP)
Jsrf says otherwise

2D still unbeaten

>>717243218
This game would look damn good with a few modern touch-ups.

>>717243296

>>717241382 (OP)
Good low poly 3d can be as timeless as 2d

console limitations made 3d age, but arcade games even from the early 90s still look good

>>717245257
That's what you consider good looking? Lmao

>>717242316
it looks great to this day. The only thing you could possibly complain about is that the artstyle has drifted significantly since its release.

>>717241382 (OP)

where's the patch for this?
Also why the hell is Hawkeye's HP higher than Riesz's

>uncs gathering around their dust pile to argue if a piece of smeared pixel shit looks better than toddler 3d morning cartoon
lmaoooo goofy ahh boomers
imma play death stranding 2 and dunk on you, if yo shit don't look nearly as good i don't want it

>>717241382 (OP)
t. zoomer trying to fit in
Boomers know that PS1 games are timeless and that early 3D style is much harder to copy than le pixel art. Most games trying to copy PS1 style end up slipping up with sfx, foliage or lighting

>>717245458
Yes it looks good. You wouldn't get it, zoom, go back to your fake indie retro

>>717241382 (OP)
Both can do both, what kind of retarded thread is this. 3d can also be time less. 2d can also look outdated. What a retarded thread.

>>717245757
Whatever you say, grandpa

Kh still looks glorious.
Ffx looks fantastic on a crt.

>>717241535
>>717242551
That's Seiken Densetsu 3 and I'm finding it fucking hilarious that people are demonizing any art that looks good now, because AI looks good, so looking good == bad. But they can't admit that.

>>717246660
looks ai = bad
i don't care about good or bad

>>717247097
>i don't care about quality
yeah i know your type well.

>>717247097
Holy brainrot

>>717245257
What game is this again?

>>717241382 (OP)
Yeah, that game looks great but it fucking sucks ass to play.

kek

>>717241472
And there's vastly more 2D games with good art direction compared to 3D games

>>717242496
No he’s right. Compare it to the original secret of mana.
Secret of mana 2 looks a lot prettier when stationary so OP screenshot looks fine but as soon as sprites start moving it’s a lot less impressive.

>>717243118
It's one of those games which despite having primitive 3D still somehow looks decent and is besides that a fantastic game. Part 1 at least

>>717241382 (OP)

i recently replayed gothic 1 and 2 and had a blast, still looks good. last year i replayed no one lives forever and half life 2, also still looked very good.

Even old 3D can still look good if you crank it up.

>>717252660
Quake can look fine until you see it in motion.

>>717241382 (OP)
looks like shit

>>717252715
Quake looks even better in motion, because the models don't feel as chunky and old when you don't have as long to see them.

name a good action game with equal or better 2d sprites than metal slug (29 years old game)

grandpa's games

>>717245135
These early stage 3D only started looking "good" after more than a decade of stagnation. Now everyone is looking for stylization even if it means purposely enshittifying proportions and edges.

>>717254970
Early 3D looked good at the time. We were wowed by it then, and it started showing cracks after a generation or two. But 3D ages better than 2D solely based on infinite scaling potential.

>>717252715
Depends on how you’re playing it, anon. Vanilla Quake at 320x240 on a CRT? Yeah, it’s a chunky mess. But throw on a modern source port, upscale the textures, smooth out the models, and suddenly you're knee-deep in a Lovecraftian fever dream that actually holds up. It's all about atmosphere-Quake in motion isn't supposed to be pretty, it's supposed to feel like you're running through a nightmare with a shotgun, and it still nails that.

>>717252715
modern sourceports allow for interpolated animations if you absolutely can't do without fluid motion

>>717241382 (OP)
that's nice grandpa, let's wheel you back to the nursing home

>>717241382 (OP)
Controversial take here: I actually like the look of certain older low poly 3D games. It depends on the game though. Lower poly games can often have god tier atmosphere because developers back in the day were much better at their job then the faggots we got today making games that often rely on soulless AI to do the heavy lifting for them.
