I assume he's talking about the fact that purposefully low-res modern indie games aren't actually low-res, but just use pixelly assets, meaning there's no pixel grid, meaning you get apparently smaller-than-pixel fidelity in places. I don't know know why he's circling these examples, he could have chosen way more obvious examples from this game or other games.
The point is that this technique results in a cheap looking product, like 2000's Flash games that used video game sprites. If indie devs want to make a low-res game, they should just make a low-res game.
This shit post epitomizes the pathetic loser autists that plague /v/ now. Fuck this shitty board and the assberger spastics that ruined it.
>>322886146

Yeah those old pixel games had some magical technology to sometimes render 1/6th pixels? Fucking retard.

Only very young people don't notice this because they didn't spend lots of time playing the games that these games were inspired by.
It's like people who don't notice 30fps vs 60fps. They're just extremely unobservant people with low aesthetic standards.

How fucking new are you, faggot?

people complaining about shitposters who claim a game is bad based on them saying its bad without actually naming any arguments for or against it.
>>322886415

JUST LIKE ON DA NESS!
>>322886343
I've got like 25 years of playing games. I don't see anything. Whatever you're pointing out, it's either not there or it's not worth worrying about.
>This fucking thread
That's enough /v/ for today
>>322886493
I know right, young people have such low standards these days
>>322886036
>>322886139
I think I see it now. But nah, doesn't bother me. Why should it? If I wanted carbon copy NES games then I would just play NES game.
If you really want to ge this pedantic then just look at the Shovel Knight's size. You'll never be able to fit that in an NES cartridge but I don't see you complaining about that.
>>322886454
>why is this allowed
this pretty much implies that something offensive or bad is happening that should not be allowed
>This shit post epitomizes the pathetic loser autists that plague /v/ now.
someone complaining about the op without directly citing it , specifically calling it a "shit post" and calling the author "pathetic looser"
Or did you mean something else?
>>322886549
Nothing to do with age, it's purely OP being a retard.
The game is fucking great and it's such a minor problem that having a thread dedicated to it is laughable.
>>322886649
Saying an aspect of a game is worth criticizing does not mean the whole game is bad.
>>322886571
Or you could just round your positions to the nearest big pseudo-pixel and not have it look like shit
>>322885559
Shovel Knight is not a NES game, it's a game that uses a NES-like aesthetic
>>322886343
underage detected
when NES was king we had CRT tvs, with all the blur and scanlines and shit, only reason you can tell there are some errors in this pixel art is because you play Shovel Knight on z 1080p monitor
>>322885559
Why are you allowed?
>>322886728
claiming that it should not be allowed to ever do something like that without any further clarification is bold enough to project it to the whole game. If you want to discuss one bad part of the game and keep it specific to that you should directly address it and not make a loose claim such as
>why is this allowed
>what did they mean by this
>why do you not ____
What the fuck is a mixel?
This is why this shitty "MUH NOSTALGIA" pixel shit needs to go

>>322886036
What the hell is a mixel? You make that term up?
>>322886931
That's a stylistic choice and perfectly viable, because there were a lot of different retro systems with different palettes and resolutions.
But there has NEVER been anything that randomly renders mixels like this.

Excuse me sir, do you really mean to tell me that Shovel Knight's pixels are actually much smaller than the graphics would initially make it seem? Because that is a simply preposterous claim.

i see what you are going for, but i assume they just wanted to make a unique looking forest.
if this were on the nintendo, even if the textures overlapped, it wouldn't show up that way because the system couldn't output it like that. therefore i think its unfair to compare this to that, unless you plan on going full autism
>ITS 1080p!!! NES COULDNT DO THAT!!!

Nah you're just supremely autistic
>>322888156
My best guess of what OP meant
>>322888468
I agree, thi is probably it.
Anyway, who cares
I didn't realize shovel knight was supposed to be NES authentic, I thought it was just pixelated as a design choice
cos it's a good game
>>322889148
But it's not even properly pixelated

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

>>322886768
Nope. Even on the shittiest CRTs you could see that it's just a pixel grid. You're just one of those Newgrounds babies that thinks spinning a sprite of Mario around looks super polished.
Everyone's buttmad at op but I can agree that the pixel art in shovel knight was kind of bad.
>>322893912
michael jackson did it
>>322886768
So they didn't anticipate people playing their game on HD displays? That's retarded.
>>322885559
Are you still mad about indie pixel shit being indie pixel shit?
>>322886485
I'm not OP. I've got a year or two of vidya on you, so no need to brag, anon. He used a really minor example, but you'd have to have damaged eyes to not notice when video games have "low res" assets that are sliding around at sub-pixel fidelity like paper cutouts being moved around on a table, creating the little specks of pixels OP is pointing out. It's just ugly and unnecessary - there's no reason for them to do it that way except that they don't care. No need to be upset about that.
It's like it's inspired by retro graphics but made today on better machines.WOAH.

It's not a true 2D game.
It's just pretend big sprites on a 3D environment.

It has if the graphics are just 2D rectangles that live in a 3D space.

because having more sounds at once than the software could do back then doesn't hurt the quality of the music, whereas slapping sprites into a modern engine without compensating for the disparity in resolution results in a messy, cheap looking product

Look at these hack frauds
>>322895581
I don't know if Shovel Knight was made in Unity. But how this can happen in 2D is sprites being scaled up (4x probably) but screen rendering and game logic (including positions) working on the full 1080p resolution
Could be avoided by either rounding positions to the "big" grid, or more reliably by just having sprites with 1:1 pixels and scaling the whole screen up.
