I love low poly. It's not primitive, it is an aesthetic preference. If you love minimalism then you love low poly. It's modernist/Bauhaus ideology, not nostalgia for the ps1/n64 era.

For me it's only big nostalgia. And I'm perfectly fine with it, I love the old low-poly engines. I love the 32/64 bit era.

Grim Fandango, vanilla or remastered is low poly gorgeous.

I just played TIE Fighter (the 95 cd version) for the first time and i couldnt believe how well i was immersed into the game world despite the lo-fi presentation.
Those simple gouraud shaded graphics are truly a work of art.

The gameplay is also stellar, which probably helps. The original X-wing/TIE fighter series is the best Star Wars series ever.

I think that makes Fifa Road to World Cup 98 on N64 the brutalist architecture of video games

Not buying it. That era was eye-bleedingly awful to look at then, but we did it because that was the state of the art at the time. Even then I couldn't wait to get beyond it. Remaster everything, forget it ever happened.

Battlezone (1998)

Such a great game too. A first person RTS.

You would love the Redux version recently released on Steam.

This thread continues to be one of my favorites.

Both for me.

And then this version of Advance Wars that doesn't exist but really, really should.

Hey, that's indeed really nice, although
- shores like this probably won't work
- air units will also be a huge issue..

You can put shadows on the ground under air units like most games from that low-poly era did to signify location.

This thread needs more Omega Boost.

I remember when I rented this game and had one of those "It cant get much better looking then this" moment.

If it's in 3D, couldn't you just rotate the camera? Or set the default to something along the lines of the GBA/DS games?

 

[IncognitoPanda]

YES! FFIX, Bloody Roar 2, wouldn't change a thing! It is pure noatalgia, though, I understand if especially younger people find it offputting. I am not a fan of NES graphics.
Still have a healtgy respect for it. I like being able to never change opinion about some things.

What game is this?

Chasm: The Rift. I enjoyed the piss out of this game as a kid. Bought it for a song, and it was a solid budget Quake clone. Though while a Quake clone, it had a few neat features over Quake like live body dismemberment. Blow off an arm and an enemy can't shoot at you anymore, etc. Also NPC characters had actual modeled eyelids that they blinked with, and mouths, not just on/off textures.

Top three shots are just regular Quake though.
