#tons of older games unironically hold up better than a lot of modern ones just because they went for their own style instead of 1:1 realism

[itstimewehavesomesoliddick]

Style was forged by the constraints of graphics limitations, it was a way to make your game look good and set it apart with limited means, no limitations = no need to bother since the game will look "good" (read: bland) anyway with fancy premade shaders and physX particles and shit, everything can look bland and the same and uninspired BUT THOSE 8K TEXTURES WITH RAYTRACING THO

Zoomers don't even know things used to be better and we're getting old, you better hold on to your emulators and dgvoodoo

I really hope there’s major pushback against photorealism in gaming but I wouldn’t hold my breath
