It's like pixel art! I'm impressed with how great it looks, filtered or unfiltered.

I think it still looks great. Looks clean, and stylized. MGS2 has maintained a beautiful aesthetic since I played it in 2002, probably because of this way of making their textures.

Obviously it's via emulators, with all filters disabled.

That being said, the MGS series' modeling and texture work have always impressed me. These filter-disabled shots just show how very basic the textures were in reality, but their clean and sharp shapes and strong highlights + shadows make them work.

Here's a model from PW; a single hair of a current-gen character can have more polys and higher res texturing (+fucktons of other effects on top), but the sheer artistry and topology make it look very nice. Compared to many other, older 1000-or-so poly characters from long gone eras (like Quake3), this seems miles better.

If i could make a game that looked like this today, i'd be very happy.

wowza! What a beautiful game.
>>386896050
You are totally right. MGS has been stellar in this regard.

>>386895496
This is what happens when you develop for the weakest console of the gen. Should've been a Gamecube exclusive.

>>386896397
what happens is you get a really nice looking game, that also runs really well?

They don't tho'.
This is how it looks in-game without emulator hacks. And you gotta remember that this was a 2001 PS2 game, meaning it was made for a system with specs of 1/20th of current gen systems, using late-90s technology at that.
And it ran at 60fps.

>>386896397
They also wanted to make money out of this game.

Relayed but I have mgs collection on the ps3 and just beat mgs3, is 2 on the collection good or should I play it on pcsx2?

Yes, Twin Snakes is made with the same engine on the Gamecube and looks like ass, also made three years later

Snake had his vest on during the Tanker?

>>386896628
This. Not surprisingly, it wasn't made by an actual Konami-underling studio, nor was Kojima directing it. And it shows.
Shit looks all waxy, cyan-misted and anorectic.

>>386896628
That's because they upgraded the graphics while still staying true to the fact that MGS1 looked like shit you retard.

unlockable in Substance I think

>>386896397
This had a version for PC way back when, though apparently it was pretty bad even for the time. Apparently only Radeon cards could play it right, while Geforce cards were hit and miss. And until very recently, no one bothered to make a Style Switcher like mod for it.

What is the point of this thread?

Why do you think it ran so fucking well? Silky smooth 60 fps.

Then filter it you cuck. Even the PS2 did that much.

7. And it was a PSP game.

Quake 3 is 17 years old, and was hyped with the fact that it could render a pack of characters each consisting of whooping 1000 polygons, resulting "life like creatures and people never seen in a video game!!". And if you'd check them out now, some people'd call them "N64 graphix".

Muh master race

Thanks a lot for this, Anon. I'm learning how to make better low res textures for a project and I really dig this look.

>>386896618
How are you making these panorama images?

>>386896240
>how nu?

>>386896397
Anon are you dumb?

I'm kind of surprised how good this 15 year old game looks. Especially comparing it to MGS1.

It doesn't matter how pixelated it looks. It's very clear what every shape is meant to represent.
What DOES matter is that it's consistent. When things look like pic related (which is common practice in modern video games), it just looks ugly.

>>386897957
What game is this?

>>386897203
the magazines seem interesting too

>>386897915
A strong artstyle can really help a game in the long run. I replayed Return to Castle Wolfenstein on PC recently and was surprised how well it held up visually. It was fairly impressive with the game coming out in 2001.
