*suspicious characters, eventually leading up to confronting, combating, or turning over evidence against them.
>>344393324
It's super cheesy and poorly casted but I couldn't remember why nobody liked that film. Then the board flipped with that stupid sound effect.
I forgot about The Witness, although I didn't play it. Same for Firewatch I think it was called. Looks nice, although doesn't blow me away.
>>344394048
Reminds me of Hyper-light Drifter. Identical towers stretching into the distance, a black jackal, etc. Just.... more macabre.

Yes, but I find it hard to enjoy atmosphere in that kind of games.
I would rather have it be first person. Think Deus Ex, VtM:B, etc
>>344395195
I don't think it does a very good job. Also you barely spend time in there.
Futurism went absolutely bonkers in '50s America, and we need more of it.

Victorian but not in a city I want a spooky countryside
>>344396267
Victorian aeathetics have forever been tainted by cogshit and gothshit.
What a shame.
I just want a horror game set in a H.R. Giger world
>>344396412
Check out the trailer for Scorn.
Do it.
>>344396412
what about darkseed?
>>344391329
GTA: asia, specifically a Hong Kong like place
that shit would be so good and could easily be written to fit into the GTA style
I love games that make me feel so utterly insignificant with the scale of it.
Kerbal Space program achieved this quite nicely. I'm hoping no man's sky will, too. But I doubt it.
>>344396896
>>344396341
The romantic and victorian side of the goth thing is not that bad. Agree with cogshit though
>>344397018
If only the map hadn't been so small and walking focused and the driving mechanics such utter crap.
>>344392816
No wonder the shitty underworld area in Cyber Sleuth is named Kowloon
An open world game set in London.
The Getaway was so great to drive around in with the realism it tried to portray of white vans, cabs and small hatchback cars. Would love to see a modern game like this.
There's really not enough of anything set in this kind of place. Rainy, purple, slightly spooky, but very melancholic.

It's a Quake3 map I photoshoped myself to start the thread. That's why it looks like shit
>>344397253
Fuck that weeb fuck who recommended VA-11 Hall-A, it's not a game it's a VN and it's filled to the brim with cringy shit and stupid characters and bad writing.
Get Brigador, a proper video game and then get the OST. You control a variety of mechs and wreck the ever living shit out of everything that moves, all the terrain and enviroment is fully destructable it's fucking great. It's also hard as balls.

>listening to WTNV while playing American Truck Simulator
That's the comfiest shit right there.
Closest thing I can think of to an urban legend horror title is Welcome to the Game, but I haven't tried it, so it might as well be complete shit for all I know.
Do you know if Alice Isn't Dead is any good, by the way? I never got around to trying it, but I think it's already all released.

>>344398707
I gave up on the forest until a much later date after my entire save file was erased due to them updating the game.
I'd rather wait until it's a little more stable.
>>344398594
spherical buildings surrounded by greenery were to sci fi then what neon lights are to sci fi now
and witch each neon sing
>>344398812
Same here. Far too many issues with the game and the AI is horrible in multiplayer, but I'm glad they regularly update it, even though it hasn't really shown in a while.

>>344399008
Are you me?
Anything like this that isn't from Dark Souls?

>>344399193
Pathologic really gives me that same grim feeling. Gets too exhausting to play.
>>344399193
That kind of pictures are cool because they're pictures, but imagine walking through that long ass corridor for half an hour in a videogame. It would be boring as fuck
>>344391329
Anything tense as this scene.
>>344394947
It's alright fun and challenging combat, style is good too. Just don't expect a Zelda clone, as searching for hidden objects involves rubbing up against every wall and trying to jump off of every edge, for the reward of currency.
>>344399419
The Forest, Uncharted
>>344398168
Chrono Trigger had one.
>>344399365
I don't know, I think I'd enjoy it just for the atmosphere. Then again, I like some walking sims and slow exploration games, so that might just be me.
>>344399365
If they tried to swipe at you and if there was some you-sized enemies on the path, it could help. At the very least, it could be a cutscene or whatever
>>344399320
>>344399301
Now that you mention it, Dark Souls is really the only game series that takes advantage of it.
Take the Great Sea from WW and replace it with shit like this, and I'd be down
>>344399710
You are aware that Deadly Premonition exists, right?
>>344398392
Aesthetic reminds me of Beyond Good and Evil. Loved that water world.
>>344399710
Alan Wake is nothing like Deadly Premonition besides the town, but it's a good game if that's your kinda show.
I have a thing for sprawling rooms with ridiculously high ceilings.

Does Chinatown Wars count? I love that game, Rockstar is only fucking the series harder with multiplayer bullshit.
>>344397252
fucking this desu
I don't know why but I like the aesthetic in the first getaway game
>>344399703
Amazingly cool idea, but that's going to be a hard one to come along as it's a difficult game to make appealing to a more niche crowd.
Little Devil Inside is NOTHING like this, but if you enjoyed WW and want a different scenery this might do.
Quick reminder to play Neon Drive and Blood Dragon.
>>344399904

Surprisingly high amount of games inspired by Mad Max. Borderlands, Mad Max: the game, Hurt world, Fallout: New Vegas.
>>344399193
probably The Void
>>344400781
>Reminds me alot of sly cooper.
>>344400765
Low poly can look amazing if done like what you're talking about.

None of them look painterly like that, though.
>>344397253
>>344397937
Fuck you both. Satellite Reign.
That's the best we have until CP2077. Which I don't have high hopes for but I think it will at least deliver aesthetics and atmosphere wise.
>>344400569
Have you not played stalkers or something
>>344400969
A lot of cool aesthetics can be done with a low poly count
>>344400969
Totally different, but not terrible. I'm against rednose in general, and prefer an anime look, but I can see that being cute.
>>344400907
Now i really want to see what's in that cave

Outer Wilds
>>344401256

Hopefully Subnautica will get large areas with deep depths like this, but SOMA is also pretty decent about this in some parts.

>>344401381
TES sets out to do a lot of things. What in particular are you interested in? Sprawling lore, exploration, interesting quests etc?
>>344391329
You know what would make a game A E S T H E T I C? Copious amounts of afterimages.
>>344401649
Stuff like this really shows how good texturework is always more important than polycounts
>>344401649
Made me think of this
>>344391329
Imo, Painkiller has one of the best aesthetics ever.
The enemy designs aren't noteworthy, but the environments are fucking massive, gothic buildings and shit. Beautiful architecture, based on real-world styles but in a bigger-than-life scale, and a frozen-in-time atmosphere that's perfect for a game taking place in purgatory
>>344391329

>>344401806
>you wouldn't stomach to play them
You're right, much as I appreciate them I can't stomach them unless the controls and gameplay are fluid.
>>344401808
Exploration, quests (Morrowind's no quest markers added so much atmosphere), character progression, detailed world. If the setting is anything other than medieval/high fantasy that would be a major plus.
>>344398168
Final Fantasy XIV
preferably with giant trees.
>>344400389
Stretch Panic
Okage maybe
>>344401863
You know there's a reason you don't see stuff like that done well in actual videogames, right?
Pretty much any lighting effects make low poly look horrendous, and extensive texturework to make up for the lower polycount is actually really hard to do.
