Why did Sega think it was okay to ship a pixelated game without filters? When even Mega Drive Classics has them as an option?
Look how much better Sonic Mania looks with an xBR filter. You can barely see any pixels anymore. Why didn't Mania ship with this on by default?
>>389490485
Some more examples. This is Sonic Mania with a more artistic filter. Notice how it almost looks hand-painted.
>>389490485
pity reply
>>389490560
This is Sonic with FXAA. It keeps the look and feel of the game, but without any sharp edges.
>filterfags still exist
I thought you guys were extinct like ZSNESfags,guess not.
>>389490642
Sonic with an NTSC filter. It makes it feel like a real retro game, and hides the pixels pretty well too.
Remember, retro games never looked like pixels. They looked like this back in the day.
>>389490674
>pixel purists still exist
Some of us prefer our games to look good. We don't care for pixel art.
In fact, we're the majority. Have a watercolor filter.
>>389490485
>Why did Sega think it was okay to ship a pixelated game without filters?
Mania has filters though.
This one's probably the smoothest. xBR with a GDAPT dithering filter. It almost looks like an HD remake now.

>>389490951
>Mania has filters though.
CRT filters don't count. They still make the game look pixelated and nasty.
Will you stop if I give (you) a reply

>Shit eaters are the majority
This isn't news to anyone
>>389491061
They were. You just sat too far away from the TV, because your mom told you you'd go blind.
>>389491080
Making the game look like it has vaseline smeared over it doesn't look any better.
>>389491203
Last I checked, post-process AA was the accepted standard for modern AAA games.
So no, you're wrong. Smoothness > Jagged pixels.
>>389490843
>We're the majority
No you're not, I don't know how the fuck you come to that conclusion.

>Comparing pixel based sprites to piece of shit AAA games that are constantly shit on in the media and many vidya mediums for using too many post processing effects
?????????
>>389491703
There's a reason the industry has moved away from pixels. They look like shit, and need expensive filtering to correct.
>>389491593
Are you seriously implying most people like pixel art?
>>389491796
>Are you seriously implying most people like pixel art?
Yes?
How the fuck do you think a lot of indieshit makes money?
>>389491796
Kill yourself
>>389491796
No, I am implying that you are a moron. I'm saying that most people do not care for layers upon layers of post processing effects, and it is true. Your taste is shit, and your eyes are wasted organic matter if you truly believe any of these filters look better than the pre-processed sprites.
>>389491903
They're using pixels because they're cheap to make. If they could use HD graphics, they would.
People buy them because Reddit says they're good. Not because of the graphics.
>>389491997
You realize that high definition sprites are way more costly to produce than the garbage 3D models that get shovelled out these days, right? Using indie games is not a good example.
>>389492106
>You realize that high definition sprites are way more costly to produce than the garbage 3D models that get shovelled out these days, right?
Then explain how Sonic 4, a game with much better HD graphics, had a higher budget than Sonic Mania.
This is the absolute worst fucking thread on /v/ right now and that's an accomplishment

It looks blurry
>>389490756
Too strong and too blurry even for composite. Try a more clear s-video and it'd be perfect.
>>389492883
How about this garbage, then? Sharp enough for you?
>>389490756
That looks like Blargg's NTSC filter, which is configurable and I'd argue the only worthwhile NTSC filter.
It emulates the signal to the display, instead of emulating the display.
>>389492994
That looks crisp and nice. I'm ok with this

That does look good. His teeth just need to be smoothened some more.
They all look blurry as fuck
>>389490485
>filters
>>389493976
That's what happens when you have low res images
>Using anything except for nearest neighbor.
You're willingly emulating shit eye sight and poverty tv vision, and killing the contrast of the image. The game even displays natively at 1080p what the fuck are you doing.
>people saying that an HD sprite work game needs filters
>tvs have built in filters now
Filters were a mistske
>>389490967
looks like a pixie shat on my screen and smeared it
all right let's rev those filters up
>>389494982
That's pretty nice. What's it called?
>>389495129
Fresco on Photoshop Elements
now this one I call it "the HD remaster PS4 exclusive"
Who /crt-sharp/ here?

oh yes.. mm.. sonic just as i remember it.. just as developer intended

People who express any of the viewpoints OP does should be thrown out of helicopters.

I think I need to stop playing video games, it's clear to me the nu-gamer children are much too retarded to associate with. Wow.
>>389495450
we need to go deeper
>>389490485
Native unaltered pixels is the only true way to play.
Don't understand the like for filters.

Computer screens haven't had pixels since the early 2000s. We moved to polygons years ago.

Unless you're using a fucking Asteroids arcade cabinet from the 70's, your monitor is still using pixels to display images
>>389490843
>Some of us prefer our games to look good.
I think that good is a better word for graphics that are only made of original (pixel-)lart rather than heavily processed with a generic filter
>>389491796
>Are you seriously implying most people like pixel art?
Why wouldn't they, pic related is pixel art
>>389490967
hmm yes the wipe vaseline all over the monitor and turn brightness 1000% look

Yeah, I like my nostalgia games to look completely unlike the games I used to play. By the way, you have to be 18 to post here, etc.

Deep fried filter when?
