i know “ps2 graphics” has become a meme for “bad” looking graphics but genuinely i love how gamecube & ps2 era games look. i really wish we’d quit striving for photo realism & keep the stylistic graphics of old that don’t bloat file sizes to 150 gb per game.

#like this isn’t even me being like “ugh new games bad old games good’’ either. i mean. i am. but for real idk what it is about early 2000’s #graphics that i just. love so much. i’m playing this game called venetica rn and sure it looks “bad’’ but the art direction makes it feel #very charming and appealing. i dunno i just kinda wish we’d quit trying to bridge the gap between reality & fiction in video game graphics.#we don’t Really need to see 8K gore that you can’t tell from real life or see Every pore on a characters face. it’s a waste of time & energy #time & energy we could spend on making the game Fun and Engaging. Or perfecting the story & writing.#good art direction will always win over photorealism. for me anyway.
