What does pixel art add to games like this? Absolutely nothing.

>Why is my vidya trying to look 1980's for my 1980's genre?
I don't know, man.

>>380015127
what

>>380014786
You're straight up lying with your greentext

>>380015321
Cyberpunk is mostly a 1980's genre therefore a cyberpunk game that dons a 1980's gaming aesthetic is perfectly natural and perhaps too on the nose. That's what you should really be crying about or that a graphic adventure style game is too limited for an engrossing cyberpunk title.

>>380015127
You can do 1980's without using pixel art you drooling retard.

It doesn't add anything to the experience, in fact it takes away from it because you get worse animations on character model, less detail and it just isn't appealing to anyone but nostalgia obsessed manchildren. It's obviously ripping off Blade Runner, you don't see the new Blade Runner filming on tape do you?

>>380015614
Prove it, the game looks like trash and you're all slurping it up like the consumerist whores you are

>>380015791
>a 1980's gaming aesthetic is perfectly natural
No it's not, one has nothing to do with the other

>>380015961
>It doesn't add anything to the experience
except for the fact that it looks cool? Imagine the same game but with hi- res textures instead, shit will look like a flash game

That pixel art looks good, though.

Go bitch at the lazy "minimalist" games.

youre just an sjw thats mad the Dev is a GGer

>obviously ripping off Blade Runner
>Blade Runner is a film and not a game
>Blade Runner never got a 8-bit game

>>380016150
>except for the fact that it looks cool?
No, it doesn't. It looks like a hackneyed attempt at appealing to people's nostalgia.

>Imagine the same game but with hi- res textures instead, shit will look like a flash game
No, it would look like an actual video game made in 2017. Instead of a pale imitation of one made in 1980.

>>380016285
very blatant false flag.

>>380016095
>prove it
ok
>2deep4u story
you have no evidence of this, since very little has been revealed concerning the story. Even if it is, how is the story being deep in a story based game a bad thing unless you're braindead
>Hipster devs
no evidence
>Chiptune music
the music in the trailer is not chiptune

What's so bad about pixel art?

>>380016158
It looks like it's trying to be a game from 1980 and one from 2017 with the benefits of neither. It's a visual failure and painfully pandering to hipsters.

>>380016285
A what? I'm talking about the game you child.

>>380016095
>A 1980's genre should not have a 1980's aesthetic
What? I won't be getting it because it looks too limited but you simply make no sense.

>>380016392
>Something has to be in the same medium to be ripped off

Look at Blade Runners visuals and tell me this game didn't rip it off.

>>380016451
Except it's clearly not attempting to nostalgia pander because its graphical effects are way beyond anything that was possible in 1980. But I can see you're on that faggot anti pixel art hate train anyway so... go play some shit more catered to your interest, I guess?

>>380016525
>you have no evidence of this, since very little has been revealed concerning the story.
It's painfully obvious just from the trailer, you'd notice it too if you actually played video games

>Even if it is, how is the story being deep in a story based game a bad thing unless you're braindead
Because it's never actually deep, it's just trying to be. There's not a single indie game that tried to be deep and succeeded.

>>Hipster devs
I look at what they create and I see people in love with the smell of their own farts who go around telling people how obscure and niche their tastes are

>the music in the trailer is not chiptune
I was speaking generally for these kinds of games but fine: shitty wubstep music to appeal to modern hipsters

>>380016591
At this point too many are doing it and not very well. The more important problem is the indie scene is plagued by art students who don't understand that gaming is more than just a visual medium. Therefore you get games with mediocre or no gameplay and all the attention went into graphical design.

>>380016591
retarded indie devs aren't actually good at it so it looks like trash in all their putrid little "games"

>>380017059
All of your responses are completely insane and just show you have some kind of hate boner for the game on sight

>>380016591
Nothing when it's used right, but almost every indie game uses it wrong. It's not meant to be a nostalgiabait tool to lure in people who like old games like the devs all believe it to be.

When you use it like that it always ends up looking shit.

>>380016807
They're using pixel art for no reason other than nostalgia, it adds nothing to the game and nothing would be lost if they used a different art style.

>>380017332
>and just show you have some kind of hate boner for the game on sight

Yes, I do. Because I've seen enough indie games to know this one will be the exact same as the rest:

>Shallow gameplay
>Over reliance on story and visuals
>An attempt to be deep constantly
>Short and lacking content

>>380017350
>lost if they used a different art style.
Nothing would be gained apart from "It looks like a game made in 2017" either. So you do just have a hate boner for pixel art at the end of the day

>>380016451
It looks cool, dude, chill

>>380016451
>nostalgia
Does anyone actually get nostalgic for pixel art, though? It didn't look like that on a CRT. All I think of when I see pixel art is half assed indie games.

>>380017624
I like it and I'll buy it, we need more games like this

How does anyone get any enjoyment out of this shit board? Every thread is either platform wars or straight up shit posting. Perhaps you should all go find something you actually enjoy.

>What does pixel art add to games like this?
Cost and work cutting, because not everyone has the time and resources to achieve high fidelity visuals and animations, so pixel art makes it more feasible to create the game itself. If you actually gave a shit about games you would understand this, but no, apparently if a game uses pixel art it automatically sucks.

Good pixel art costs more to produce than 3D graphics do. Please do some research before trying to appear intelligent.

>>380015961
>muh graphics

>>380018426
Shut up fag

>>380017672
It looks like trash, your taste is trash and I feel dirty just posting in the same thread as you

>>380017740
Casuals do

>>380017641
Nope, Chrono Trigger looks great. The Last Night looks like nostalgia pandering trash.

Your taste in games is shit, please play more games to get a better handle on what a good game looks like.

>>380018426
This game would look like straight ass with 3d indie graphics

>>380014786
it adds artisitc flair. not very original but i like a good pixel game if its done right and it look really good.

>>380016158
this. minimalist games are 100 times worse.

>>380018495
Nice rebuttal you child, you sure showed me what a big boy you are

What is a modern pixel art game done right according to you?

>>380018604
Chill

>>380018706
I'm not the one crying over how an indie game looks, child

>>380018664
Which is why they should either get major funding or not make the game at all.

I'd rather have nothing than a half assed attempt that coasts by on nostalgia and hipster cred.

>>380018756
>dude just chill smoke some weed 420 bro just chill hahah

This isn't facebook, kill yourself.

>>380018851
You are though, I'm telling you it's unoriginal hackneyed trash and you're crying "b-but it looks cool ;_:" like a child.

>He dislikes the game based on a trailer so much he wishes it out of existence

>>380018997
It looks okay but it is just a teaser. Won't know the quality until we get some legitimate gameplay vidz. Might play it out of sheer desperation because the industry is so full of nothing right now

>>380018604
I bet you're the kind of person that prefers the 2013 remake of 1992's Flashback.

>>380014786
If the same is so shit why are you talking about it?

It depends on the game and talents involved. Some developers are better at pixel art and some are better at 3D. Some games are easier to develop when using an engine tailored for 2D. The stylistic requirements of the game are also a factor.

>>380018880
>a game should not exist unless it has really good graphics and that can't include pixel art either
Think about your priorities baitfriend.

Reminder: SJW's are trying to turn you away from this game and make it flop because the developer said some anti-sjw stuff during gamer gate.
