Are there any notable indie games out there that try to replicate the "low-poly PS1/Saturn/N64 game" look?

Strafe does this too, but idk if I'd call that notable
>>
No, because the low poly PS1 and N64 era looked absolutely awful and most of those games have outdated controls and movement that make them unplayable today.

Can't even go back to Crash Bandicoot, Ocarina of Time or Mario 64 anymore.

Every single indie 3D 3DS game.

No. Everything 3D in the 90s and early 00s was horrible. That era 3D was fucking creepy.

>t. first console was not cartridges
But my first console was a GBA, which runs on cartridges.

2D games age like wine, 3D games age like milk.

This game looks cool but it's probably not really what you're looking for. It's called Devil Daggers and I think it's supposed to be like retro FPS games but it's sitting in my backlog
>>
>>383506152

2D turn into vinegar after time unless you spend thousands of dollars keeping them temperate, while 3D eventually turn into delicious yogurt and cottage cheese?
>>
>>383505840
he said a sonic GAME

>>383506125
It has a little hubworld like OP's image.
It was built with the engine that was going to be a saturn sonic, but that got scrapped in favor of adventure one

A GBA SP anon, nice try.
>>
If you're gonna recreate graphics from that time period Half-Life should be the standard
>>
>>383506545
my mate has a c64. I never had cassette consoles though =( I hear loading was slow...

>>383506609
that still doesn't explain why you can't play zelda.

I played mario 64 on an n64 last year, no issues. well except the analog cable freaking out with static every so often cause its old as hell.
>>
>>383506152
That's because the GBA was decades after 2D started while N64 was one of the first 3D consoles. Try playing some Atari games

OoT is slow and clunky. The 3DS version fixed a lot of movement and control issues I had with the game.

That game looks good but it's just a survival mode. You try to survive as long as possible in an arena while more and more enemies come in.
After a certain point the arena gets crowded to the point of impossibility. There's literally nothing else to the game which is a shame.
>>
>>383505294
Is it good?

Fug I thought it would have actual levels. Maybe I should actually play it sometime

do you like, think people haven't or something? it was good enough for tony hawks back in the day, you're probably a casual and bad.

>>383505294
I like this game a lot. As hack & slash games go it's probably not sophisticated enough for a genre enthusiast, which I'm not. It's got fun music and nice designs, some unexpected environments and a variety of parts & weapons. But on the other hand it is procedural and kind of repetitive, if you like to clear every room. But between the visuals and the ease of control it's cozy and satisfying, a little weird, definitely made with care & affection by the right sort of people.

It's easily worth the price. A great little Saturday-morning game.
>>
check the game dev threads in a few months and I'll have a surprise for you, OP.
>>
Mega Man Legends 1 & 2 are the only acceptable answer.
>>
>>383506996
New episode never.

>>383508094
Maybe, maybe not; I think that we've all gotten really used to the idea that all newer games sort of control the same within their genres. It's nice being to pick up a new game and immediately know how to play, but I think that the accessibility and the forgiveness of modern controls might be stifling a lot of the general variety in games. So I think that there's a blurry distinction between which controls are actually bad for the game they are in, and which ones are just less intuitive to today's player. Bear in mind that we're also used to almost all controllers being extremely similar now and that wasn't the case in PS1 days or even PS2 days, so we've gotten used to that too.

I don't want devs to be afraid to do something different just because nobody is willing to learn a new scheme, which was part of the fun and novelty to yesterday's players. Of course there are definitely some ideas that deserved to die, like toggling "camera mode" on and off.

BallisticNG does this. Just gotta make sure perspective correct textures are off in the options.
