Galaxy still looks amazing today

That image isn't what I'd call amazing. Fine , but not amazing. Brawl (on dolphin) looks fine to me too.

How do you make a Smash Bros game with a cohesive art style?

Make it like Smash 64.

fuck off with your trump shit, pol

Melee looks pretty good too. Brawl looks awful, everything is gritty. Same with Twilight Princess.

GC games relied a lot on gouraud shading like the N64 did and used textures only on some spots. The Wii used textures everywhere so they had to make them look gritty and shitty to compensate.

Galaxy aged like shit, you would have to be underaged and autistic to think it looks good at all

Color always wins, faggots.

what are you fucking retarded

IKR! OMORI LOOKS SO LE AMAZING XDDD

Momma always said the devil is a LIE!

bait bump

Just about any horror game.
Dark Souls.
Quake.
Not everything is supposed to be bright and colourful.

Yes, but the reverse spectrum of those stylized visuals almost always looks great and ages well compared to something trying too hard to be realistic and gritty like Brawl resulting in ugly ass dated textures and not more naturally like Quake.

Why does a game have to age well? Not everything is forever. Some things are just for now, and that's okay.

Yeah man, Battleborn and League of Legends look great visually!

well theres a staggeringly large number of idiots because Holla Forums drags in redditors and social media users

Because 20 years from now people are going to want to play those same games for whatever unique quirks and appeal they have. Developers should want to make games that people want to play many years later if they want money that badly. Not all this fleeting online shit.

If a few muddy textures is enough to make an older game totally unplayble to you, you should just find a new game to play instead.

Also I find your argument that future proofing is a sure bet to make more money flimsy. AAA games with realistic graphics almost always sell more than artsy stuff, even if they look worse five years down the line.

...

Brawl looked like a shitty mess even when it was new.

smash bros games aged fine. if brawl didnt its because 4 just does the same thing better while melee and 64 stand out on their own.
im not sure why youre suggesting that selling things less often is a good money making tactic

you say that as if all good games age well.
goldeneye comes to mind, the first mario kart, warcraft 1

a game doesn't age in quality, but it does ages in the sense that duke nukem is now 20/21 years old.

Yes, because good games are timeless. If it didn't "age well", it was never good to begin with and you just had shit taste at the time and were willing to tolerate a mediocre/bad game.
Just like Perfect Dark, it was never good on consoles. Today we can play them both 60FPS with perfect mouse/keyboard controls and they're actually fucking awesome.
Was never great, F-Zero was better and is still good today.
Wasn't great, and neither was 2. The first great Blizzard RTS was Starcraft.

Is Sonic 3 & Knuckles a great game even if the controls were only perfected years later on handheld? Does that count if shooters emulated on PC count?

dont try to bullshit me

I'm not sure what the issue with Sonic 3's controls are (or how they were 'perfected' later), but if it's the same game with fixed controls, sure that counts, just like getting proper controls in Doom counts.

A game that looks great today doesn't look bad today though. Why can't we enjoy something today, and put it aside when the time is right? What is this obession with preserving everything like ancient Egyptian Pharaohs? Accept that things die. You'll be happier for it.

I just personally feel like the adequate D pad and buttons is simply outclassed by the DS many years later. It gives you that extra precision and timing you need, especially in the Special Stages.

We can all agree that a game having a rock solid aesthetic that is so good, that it looks great years later is a universally positive trait. Anything that is universally positive is something that all content creators should strive towards. That's all there is to it. I don't know why you're trying to argue against that, unless you're just a bored faggot playing the contrarian.

In that case, yet another example of a game that is improved by shedding the limitations of the original hardware.

There's nothing wrong with the aesthetic of say Resident Evil 7. It will look significantly less good ten years from now, but that's the trade off for having great looking realistic graphics today.

Over-reliance on darkness to hide the shit-tier textures, boring and brown.
Tell that to Crysis. You never go "full realism" because it always looks like shit as soon as tech moves on, leaving you with a disposable piece of media that can only be truly enjoyed at the time it was released, which is a big fucking waste and the mark of a bad product. If you want to go the realism route, you need to at least partially stylize it like Crysis, or create it with modding in mind so that the community can keep improving it.

Horror games are supposed to be "boring and brown" it plays on our instinctual fears of darkness and decay.
How was Crysis stylised? That was the closest thing to photorealism for it's time.

What the fuck? No.
Instinctual fears of decay? Again, what the fuck? As for darkness, the only thing "scary" about the darkness is what it may conceal. The only thing the darkness in RE7 conceals (and poorly, at that) is the sloppy texture work.
The entire second half of the game with the wacky flying squid ayylmaos.

...

Decay=death and often disease. People at the very least tend to be uneasy about it.
Fantastical plot elements have nothing to do with stylised visuals.

I think you need to go play the game and get back to me, fam.

You can't just pile ambient occlusion on something and call it a day.

A slightly unconventional alien design is not stylisation. Okami is stylised. TF2 is stylised. Kirby's Epic Yarn is stylised.

Okay, I see what you're doing here.

Carry on.

What am I doing? Being right?

I pegged you over two hours ago

You're playing the contrarian. You have no arguments. This is your last (You).

You can't debate my arguments, so they aren't real. Right. Tell yourself that if that's what makes you happy.

What the fuck are you doing? Why are you going this direction?

I disagree. Just don't play Brawl on the Wii

If you emulate both both look fine

I don't know man. First this guy tries to argue there's no room for realistic graphics, just because they age worse than stylisation, and now apparently Crysis is a stylised game. I'm pretty lost.

I don't understand when someone complains about bloom. Super Mario 3D World looks absolutely gorgeous and lush with its vivid colorful design. I wish Mario Kart 8 looked exactly like it if that's how they want to represent the franchise, which it looks like with Odyssey.

Every graphical technique or art style has it's place. Only morons seriously argue that bloom or the colour brown need to be purged from existance.

Replying to said images with incest porn from the franchise is a great way to cause those leftists to fly into a rage.

He's here to shitpost and argue for the sake of arguing, nothing more, so I'm not going to waste any more time with him. Take a look at this idiotic drivel and tell me he isn't just here to shitpost:

Why is there so fucking much?

I'll be honest. I was being overly dramatic about it, because I thought it was funny, but I stand by those sentiments. Not everything needs to be built to last forever. Sometimes it's fine for things to be allowed to age. Why does this bother you so much?

And how the fuck is Crysis stylised?

I just disagree with letting things be expirable if it can be easily prevented by simple design choices to enjoy many years later and onward.

Jews. Incest was the next thing to be "normalized" after trannies, but there has been too much backlash against both faggots and trannies for either to ever pass now.

But then every game would have whichever art style was considered to be the most timeless (probably cel shading), we'd never see a realistic looking game again, and we'd get bored of that one style pretty quickly. I'd rather live in a world where we get Half Life 2 and Resident Evil 4 alongside Wind Waker and Okami, even if they look a little rough around the edges a decade later.

I think what this really comes down to is you're terrified of death, and you want to have sex with your mother. I'm off to play RE7.

Everything looks like it has a light layer of fuzz on it

Melee looks better than Brawl today.
Melee had a much better art style IMO because in that one, every character had its model uniquely made from scratch to fit the game. Brawl meanwhile lazily took the official models from other games (or even from Melee, like the Ice Climbers) and slapped hyperrealistic textures on them.
Compare how Mario and Link look next to each other in each game. I know one character is supposed to look more realistic than the other but still, in Melee they look believable next to each other while in Brawl Mario's head is fucking gargantuan due to using his generic model.

Incest wouldn't be remotely bad if it weren't for cuck shit or that humans inbreeding causes defects for no reason unlike every other animals.

I still know between siblings wouldn't be bad at all if there were no baby involved because it's just a male and female that come from the same parent, not like the dysfunctional shit that happens with parents themselves.

We're not just talking visuals, we're talking about things like online exclusive features and content that will eventually become inaccessible.

People fail to realize that the defects only settle in after a few generations of inbreeding, the only thing you should worry about in incestous relationships are conditions steeming from recessive genes.

I have no idea what is this thread

I'de be happy if this was the extent of the thread.

Okay, you're mentally defective.

Take a break from your hentai novels user. 3D incest is top tier degeneracy and should remain in fiction.

Fucking this. There was something seriously magical about Okami. Really felt like I was in a painting.

Reread your shit again and try calling me the retard.

I don't even give a fuck anymore. Fags and dykes have shown me nothing is worth fighting for outside of 2D.

There is no "extra precision" because every 2D Sonic game uses a fucking D Pad. The only way you can have extra precision is with an analog stick, like Tropical Dong does it.
The only things Advance onward bring to the table are 2 additional action buttons. And guess what, that could be done on the Genesis since it had 3.

And don't give me any shit about it being impossible because of the layout, Treasure found a way to make Alien Soldier work, some fucker doing a homebrew Sanic could very easily have figure it out.
Literally the only thing the DS brought was the touch screen, and even then you could ameliorate any issues with the half pipe by not fucking using it for the 17th time.

I know you're fucking full of shit, and one of those hardcore memers who bought into the "I can't see what's coming" shit, because fucking Advance 2 fixes this shit.
Where as Rush undid what made the Genesis and Advance engines work.

It's absolutely gorgeous and it's one of the best stylistic design choices for a game I've ever seen.

I could fight for a couple of anons and their cute devoted little/big sister to not be afraid of getting arrested just for loving each other like a man and a woman and then within months I'd ultimately hear shit story after shit story of families torn apart by sexual abuse by faggots that just want to get laid and crimes of passion. Because the majority of retards always ruins shit for everyone else.

I'm so fucking tired of standing up for anything that just lets me down in the end. First blacks, now gays.

I don't use that kind of shitty bait at all. All I said was the D pad and buttons on the DS is better for Sonic than the Genesis controller, you fuck.

is this that ironic humor i hear so much about

Kill yourself, kike. Incest will never be normal.

its funny to see a stormnigger condemn incest

...

Brawl always looked like ass. why the fuck did he give Mario realistic overalls. At least Smash 4 looks actually great and all characters match from all their respective game. Melee just looks like silly puddy characters going at a fast pace

Well good.
I thought you were retarded for a second, but clearly I'm the one who was.

What are some absolutely putrid textures?

Wouldn't it be smarter and easier to just give something a primary color that mixes with the color it's trying to convey and just making it look fancy with lighting and background effects?

Just a thought. I could see that working perfectly for platformers or action games.
