So we all agree that this is the best looking game of the 90's,

>>3639254
Quake 3 looked better, IMO.

No. Shiny effects doesnt equal good look, art direction matters too. And that is better and more cohernt even in Q2. Frankly, Unreal aged like shit.

Don't be so modest, I loved UT, but the Q3 engine destroyed the Unreal Engine 1, by far, and this game was the best example of it.

Best looking game of the 80s is Galaxy force 2

I was gonna say this one too.
It looks like an out-of-place artifact.

>>3640345
you're seriously trying to say the art direction is better in that everything BROWN game?

>>3640617
Yes, i am trying to say the art direction is better in Q2 than in that DUDE 3DFX LMAO engine demo. Architecture is better too.

>>3640345
You're delusional. Unreal and UT both look much better than Quake 2. Quake 3 is another thing entirely though and still looks great to this day.

Wasn't Quake 3 also incredibly well optimized?
I remember playing pretty well in the same shitty PC i was completely unable to move Baldur's Gate 2.

>>3640672
The reason I know your a troll is because no one actually likes quake 2.

>>3640793
Good taste is surely a rare thing nowadays.

>>3640972
You're quite the dedicated troll, I still don't believe you.

Interesting how contrarians always hide under the guise of "good taste"

>>3640975
If my opinions upset you that much - i also can't understand why Earthworm Jim and MDK are getting that much love.

>>3640994
Do i really need to explain why i prefer the clever use of palette and low-poly models to create military-industrial atmosphere of Q2 over Unreal's "Let's make this floor in a spaceship reflective for no fucking reason. Oh, and also make spaceship out of square rooms with vertical walls and horizontal floor and celling" approach? Let's at least agree that first of the two aged better.

Q2's levels always seem oversimplified and too crude. Almost felt like a slight upgrade of the simplistic, boxy Wolf3d levels. Even Q1 looked and felt better than Q2's unimaginative snorefest levels.

>>3640793
Not him. I also like Q2 a lot.

But unlike him, I'm not delusional enough to think the Q2 engine could compete with Unreal, Unreal looks much better.

As for what game is better, hard to tell, I like Doom, Quake and Unreal so much, that I just don't bother trying to figure out which was my favorite, except technically of course, that would be:

Q3>UT99>U1>Q2>Q1>Doom, but again this is just graphically, I do like Q1 better than Q2 and I think is superior gameplay wise, and that has more attractive level design, but that could be just subjective taste, besides I also enjoy a lot the "dullness" of Q2, it gives it a creepy atmosphere that I really enjoy a lot.

>>3639254
Unreal had more grandiose levels and more effects in view because it was a singleplayer game. That said they both look amazing, even today.

>>3641220
OP is referring to UT, not U1.

UT was multiplayer based like Q3

>>3641223
OP is talking about best looking game, and the best looking game was Unreal, not UT.

You are delusional, models in U1 were way more blocky, UT looks much better

>>3641381
isn't that a player model? compared to those enemies are designed to have like 500 in the level so you don't want them too high poly.

>>3639727
It wasn't as fun. UT ran good on my Rage 128

>>3641394
500? What are you talking about? It has been a while since I played but I don't remember more than 4 or 5 at the same time at worst, its not at all like Doom or Serious Sam where 500 Kleers would come to get you.

On the other hand UT games of 10 to 20 players on one map that is far smaller than any level in Unreal were very common.

EWJ is your average run and gun but holds up with style.

MDK on the other hand was one of the first TPS games that wasn't clunky shit and you could go fast while shooting hordes of robots, while having amazing graphics for 1996

sequels were pretty shit though. EWJ2 had more gimmicks than proper gameplay and bioware turned MDK2 into generic 3dfx blue and purple corridors with infuriating puzzles
