Last RT: I am perpetually frustrated by "authentic 8-bit graphics!" meaning "Looks like a completely average NES game" and "Retro 3D" interpreted as either "A Doom mod" or "Ha PS1 so blocky let's make bad textures with obvious seams" D:
I know it's hard work but old 2D can be a lot of really interesting things:
- it can even look creative and artistic in monochrome!
And early 3D can be crunchy and lo-poly without looking like Lego
I know it's not easy, and I'm not saying every game has to look like it wants to beat Vagrant Story as its own game, but we need to stop the weird historical revisionism about retro graphics, because we're doing them a disservice
