When most people say they like old school graphics they mean Vectorman, Metal Slug, Street Fighter Alpha, and other 2D 16- and 32-bit games — *not* the early 3D titles lol!
I don’t think people mean the early 3D games anyway when it comes to graphics. I think they mean graphics like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for example which looks incredible to this very day.
The old school graphics? I consider sprites as old school graphics. This image is the byproduct of early 3D games which of course look horrid today. The cartoon based ones hold up better. Mario64 and Banjo Kazooie as an example.
Zelda: Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Mario games, etc are the OGs
Tube TV’s are an essential part of the retro look. Retro graphics do tend to look better, but on older TV’s. They do look like crap that makes us question our nostalgia on newer TV’s.
We’re on the cusp for early 3D graphics having the same kind of nostalgia-fueled comeback that sprite/pixel art did in indie games a decade ago. Just look at the success of things like Signalis and the Bloodborne PSX de-make. I don’t think we’re gonna get much AAA studio recognition in the immediate future, but definitely in the indie scene. If you think this kind of graphical style doesn’t have appeal then you aren’t paying attention.
There are some games that will never age well due to the “realism” look. Yeah that was the best money could buy then, but by today’s standards that is a child’s work. Certain art styles were ingeniously simple and amazing.
Realism isn’t always better. I mean that dude looks pretty scary. What is usually better is the modern rigging of the models and movement mechanics though.
I refuse to accept it looked like this.
I work with this guy. His names is Bort
Yeah but you didn’t have to pay an additional $17 for the season pass and the Bonus Exclusive Sean Connery skin.

I love the texture wrap faces of goldeneye and Max Payne
Conkers (and banjo) with it’s big eyes slapped to mundane things I’d also really charming

This is just my take on it of course
I like Lara Croft’s triangle boobs
That realism is uncanny! His shadow under his eyes is a reflection on how long he has been standing guard
Yea we also had like 10inch tvs with rotary knobs. It all worked together pretty well
Most people my age usually mean 8/16 bit games. This time was a real awkward adolescence for games
Goldeneye!
N64 Russian Soldier isn’t real, he can’t hurt you
N64 Russian Soldier:
…did I stutter?

They do have a charm to be fair.

Don’t you start disrespecting the hottest man to ever hit the screens.
>! PS1 Hagrid !<
CRT monitors helped.
I like my graphics lightweight and stylish. Thanks for reminding me that I shouldn’t refer to it as old style graphics. Lightweight and stylish!
I feel like this only applies to 2D games where the old school is more loved.
When I say I prefer old style graphics, I mean 2D sprited art.
If they ever remake the Goldeneye movie then there should be a gag where one of the Russian troops actually looks like that
