Anyone else hoping Strafe is a sign of things to come for indie game trends? As in, low poly being the next go-to visual style, like pixel art has been for some time now.
I've lost all hopes of mainstream AAA abandoning their insane chase for realism so I'd be content with indies, at least low poly 3D takes more effort than what indie devs have been passing of as 8 or 16 bit.

this is the only acceptable form of low poly really.
ugly low quality models like in the OP will never become a desired trend.
>>384343272
The fuck are you talking about?
Low poly has been a trend for over a fucking decade now.
>>384345072
It's been the norm over a decade ago, but you're deluded if you think low poly has anywhere near the industry presence like pixel art does.
>>384345919
It does if you look at the industry as a whole and don't just cherry pick.
And fuck, so many of the 2D pixel art games out there aren't even 2D.
This is the best looking lowpoly game I ever seen
Low poly looks like fucking dogshit compared to 16bit 2d stuff, anyone with functioning eyes can see that.
Then again, I don't play indie trash becasue not a single one was made that I liked, so what the fuck do I care.
How hard is it to make high quality 2D stuff?
For example a 2D RPG with visuals and colors like in Chrono Trigger but a bit higher resolution. Is something like this way outside of Indie budget/talent territory?

Yes, looks like shit huh

This is a fucking garbage style. I hope the pixel indie style dies out completely. Indie games should be more like SOMA, Inside and ACE Team stuff.
>>384347758
why do you wish for a style to die out instead of hoping for indies to be more open to trying out different styles
>>384347758
>Inside

>>384347758
Not every indie game can get government funding retard.

>WANTING pixel art
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuck off
>>384348134
Who said that? Pixel art can be great if done right (it never is) but most of the time it's just a weak excuse for not wanting to put the effort in.
>20 year old game

>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jesus christ go back to 9gag.
>>384349229
Why you mad OP?
>>384349550
I don't like the style in Strafe too, but I don't type like a fifteen year old.
>>384349689
No, you're just edgy like a 15 year old
>>384349474
Good job bird-o

Like you guys would say, it's "comfy".
What was that space dwarves game?
>>384347758
>ACE Team
Fuck, I'd forgotten those guys.
I just found out they're making a new rock of ages too, fuck yes.
