The problem with BoF serie that they have really great ideas but they alwas fuck up in some point. This is true for each game of the serie... If only they could combine each good aspect of each game and put them together they could have made one of the best jrpg ever. I'm so sad about BoF6.
Still looks better than any of its 3D sequels. Konami forcing 3D on the series was the dumbest decision they ever made. Suikoden III could have just used the Suikoden II engine and the fans would have actually liked it more.
Went back and played through both of these games. Shame the first one is fucking dated, but Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle still holds up graphically and gameplay wise.

>>344821434
I'm replaying this right now and I gotta say, it looks tremendous, but christ, the fucking beauty of the game is hindered by its 240p or 360p or whatever output. So much blurriness hiding the game's true colors.

Ground and grass look blurry as fuck
Graphics haven't aged a day--more so for Super Paper Mario, which has a higher graphical output but basically the same graphics.

Looks better in HD sure, but this is the pinnacle of SD pre-rendered backgrounds.

>>344821457
My negro. I really liked the lack of much of a central story. The dozens of side quests only made the game comfier than it already was with the art and soundtrack.
My only real complaint with the game is that there's no way to 100% it without looking up a guide due to the artifact system. And I guess the battle system is boring, but it's easy too so it's not all that bad.
I want to fuck that dragon.

Geez! You still are an ugly fella. How's it been, huh?
>>344821014
I just played it two months ago. Its still the best looking PS2 game. And not because it pushed the most polygons, but because of its art design and cel shading. And that's what helped it age well, compared to all those games trying to look realistic like GTA or FFXII.
I want Dragon Quest X to come out specifically because it has the same design as DQVIII but with full 1080p. And even better motion.
>>344822268
>Those physics
>Those shadows
>That art-style
That shit was well optimized too. Too bad the gameplay didn't hold up too well.
>>344822207
Environmental graphics haven't progressed well at all. Most of the effort has been spent on humans and making them not potatos, which I guess is fine by me

This is what happens to the fanbase of a franchise that hasn't seen a new release in 7 years.
Please support legislation to legally force game companies to release games in long running series at least every 4 years. You could save a life.
Megaman Legends 3 forced for 2017.
Castlevania: Rhapsody of Rebirth forced for 2018.
Metroid 5 forced for 2019.
Crash Bandicoot reboot forced for 2020.

Those sprites are really good. Better than the retro sprites of the modern indie games also.

I didn't post the Oblivion pic and really there isn't much difference in the environment. The trees still look like blocks, the road still looks painted on, etc. We've hit a roadblock in graphical fidelity for things like that, where the techniques more than the resolution or the like are making things look fake

What game is this
>>344822585
>Hard mode
If anything that's easy mode. 4th generation games aged like fine wine.
True arena mode
find me a 5th generation game that still looks good today.
>>344822085
SaGa Frontier 2 aged so well.
>>344822975
Couldn't disagree more.
The first can look dated at times, but 2 and 3 still look amazing.
>>344823580
Mushihimesama is a beautiful looking game, but this screenshot just doesn't do it justice.
>>344822085
Never even tried this game, wast put off by how different the graphics were (not that the first one had superb ones) and SPECIALLY the music, didn't feel like SaGa at all, but the style is really appealing and that's what makes me wanna give it a shot eventually despite being completely different from SaGa F1, guess I have a soft spot for pre-rendered early PS1 era backgrounds like in FFVII
give me the real hard mode: 3D only

>>344823813
>find me a 5th generation game that still looks good today.
See >>344821696
Generally the few games that stayed 2D were amazing. And 2D still can improve in this gen as we've seen with Vanillaware games.
>>344823813

The PS2 version is a low res blurry mess nowadays.

The SNES version is heavily reliant on coding tricks and other magic sauce found only on the SNES.
When they moved to 'stronger' platforms, their games suddenly looked worse.

Anyways Crysis 1 looks amazing and looks better than your average 2016 game with a few mods

It's no different than other ancient consoles. You had to do a lot of magic to make the most of the genesis, too.
Of course, nowadays all consoles are little more than scaled down home computers.
>>344824504
Muh honkey.
Was the sequel any good? I never got the chance to play it.
>>344824243
I tried playing through it for the first time about a year ago and mostly thought it felt clunky and slow. Interesting concept but the execution is poor.
>>344824239
He as a dragonian all along, so he was found by someone and taken by the Godess, she "brainwahsed" him into her ideals so Teepo was telling you to stay with them in peace for the rest of your life or.... fuck it, why was it bad? I guess the heroes really didn't want their potential to be limited by the godess and also revenge for the dragonians--? It's been a while since I played this.
>>344820315
age of empires 3 is such a underrated game

>FF8 had an amazing design, but the pre rendered backgrounds still looked bad
>Chrono Cross somehow took the FF8 engine and made it look good
Too bad the game was still incomplete.

I could never figure this game out as a kid. Combat and crafting were beyond my 12 year old brain.

I also tried to play it fairly recently on Vita, and god damn the controls are a mess. I probably missed out on what was at the time a great 3D experience, but nah
>>344824824
Is the PC version 10 years old now? Man, time flies.
>you will never live in a time where beautiful 2d games are part of mainstream culture again
>>344824832
Age of Empires III with both expansions is the best Age game. Its also the biggest improvement I've seen from a games expansion tied with Diablo II.
Most people just never tried the two expansions.

I guess it was an ok choice for Ryu maybe, but she did said that she would off the rest of the cast? or was she going to let them go?

I think Golden Sun still looks good at its native resolution. Difficult to appreciate it unless you look at it through a GBA screen though.
>>344825164
>>344825165
Ok, go buy a fucking vita or 3DS then, there are tons of pixel art games on handheld
>>344825079
Pixelshit is nothing like the 2d big budget mainstream games of old.
>>344825148
>>344825287
I remember back when I first played this in the GBA I showed everyone I could the summons, specially Thor and Judgement, they shat their pants when they looked at those graphics, still looks fucking great if played on a GBA or at least a DS screen.
>>344825314
>>344825287
Are you joking? Golden Sun looked awful at release and still does.

It's just the original in HD.
Like most of the pictures posted here. Many of these games didn't look as good on old TV screens.
>>344825409
It was one of the best looking handheld games out there. What are you on about.
>>344825258
The Asian expansion, aside from adding three new groups with the most unique builds in the series, also added a ton of new content to the existing game. It really did make it a whole new game instead of 'spam cannons and hussars until you win'.
>>344825409
I strongly disagree. Also, didn't expect a hivemind there.

>>344825148
Vector games had some pretty fucking clean lines.
>>344825296
Actually there are about 2 fully 2D games on the 3DS which are not ports of past games. The 3DS' 3D effect requires a lot more work to get working with 2D games and thus most companies abandoned 2D for the 3DS, leading to the ugly jaggy pixelated 3D we see permeating 3DS
>>344825470
>>344825515
Maybe it's just me, I always thought the games looked awful with their janky tiny 3D. I certainly wouldn't say it aged well due to the resolution.
I don't like DKC's artstyle either.
>>344825435

Golden Sun is quite literally the most overrated JRPG of all times.

>>344825672
no, thats final fantasy 7
golden sun is #2
>>344825672
The game literally has more text in it than Planescape torment.
>>344825605
>>344825287
>>344825314
The problem with Golden Sun is only the combat looks good. And you only fight for 10% of the game. The other 90% is monotonous dialogue and push/pulling objects.
I'd say it still holds it's own
>>344825654
The character designs were a joke about how much niggers look like monkeys.
>>344825710
Anon, the 3D effect was required for devs to support by Nintendo so no one was allowed to make a game that did not work with the 3D gimmick of their _3D_S. Naturally this ruined many smaller developers but LOLNINTENDO WE LUB

While the polygonal stuff looks like it's from 2002, the sprites have aged like fine wine.
