What are some /vr/ games that are bursting with style? As an

Comix Zone - comic books
Splatterhouse - 80s horror movie
OutRun - having a gf and a car and going outside
REZ - being high af

They all nail a certain kind of feel

That and any game with a vector display

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out does it for me. If Castlevania didn't have such a weird color palette it would fit. Someone just mentioned OutRun which is a good choice. Spyro. Arguably Star Fox 64 depending on who you ask. Donkey Kong Country. River City Ransom pulled me in despite the fact that I didn't enjoy it much outside of aesthetics/setting. Maybe there's some others but I'd be here all day.

Abe's Oddysee has a very nice dieselpunk style going on, and Legend of Mana is absolutely beautiful to look at

I wish there was a game that looked like the illustrations from the Secret of Mana guy (RIP).

Rising Zan the Samurai Gunman, it's the precursor to the stylish character action genre.

most retro games already had 'cartoon' or abstract look, and most retro 3d games were simply too ugly

A pointillist art style game would be cool. If the programmers and artists worked well together we could have something amazing.

a-10 also have this kind of graphics and is retro

its not the same but theres pointcloud rendering

and if you make a simple post-processing shader i think it will look like 16 color gif animation i.e. ugly

also halftone rendering can be close to this
it may have different styles (fill patterns) for different shades. color can be added.

People probably take it for granted now but when it came out Sonic The Hedgehog really did have an unique artstyle. It really laid the groundwork on how 16-bit games aspired to look like,and very few actually managed to hit that stride.

Indeed.
I remember when I first saw Virtua Fighter in arcades and saw Star Fox on the SNES.
Flat shaded polygons, not very detailed at all, but at the time it was pretty exciting.

>theres pointcloud rendering
No, there's not. Point clouds are a data model. You can render them using particles/voxels, but there are many other techniques. In particular is it possible, and often done, to render surfaces implied by point clouds as polygons

>>3265438
That's not early 3D, not even remotely. That stuff is near endgame material, before the accelerators kicked in

Keeping it retro, I've always liked how ugly Leisure Suit Larry 6's backgrounds looked.

It's very fun. Inspired by Memphis Group I guess

Everybody raves about Wipeout 3's designs but the previous ones I feel are underrated. People only see an early 90s Playstation game and not its designs.

>>3270530
I enjoy XL and w3 together, because they are such polar opposites in style. Only w3 was posted, so I commented on it. That said, XL is a hint more "generic", as it's a standard neon light future. It's still pretty as fuck, but people looking at it went "yeah, that looks totally right". w3 meanwhile blew people away, because it went in such a totally different direction, taking a kind of overdesigned minimalism to the extreme. To this day I consider w3s menu the most beautiful piece of game ui design ever made.

As for people not looking at designs, wipeout is a bit of an exception, due to the involvement of TDR. It's one of the few games where design wasn't just part of the necessity of having graphics, but actually half of the deal of the game. It's as much a TDR style showcase as it's a Psygnosis racing game
