When will the 2D/Indie game fad die? I'm so sick of seeing some first year programmer create some basic 2D side-scroller that looks like it was made for the atari in his free-time. Gaining infinite praise and adjusting his nerd glasses all the way to the bank while it's named GOTY.
boo hoo
>All video games must cater to my tastes
Please grow up.
Never.
>>320491762
Why don't you do the same then?
>>320491762
Never, because the use of basic 2D pixel art is a way to work around the fact they're making the game by themselves on a tight budget.
Unless you just want the indie scene to die altogether in which case you're retarded.
>>320491762
>what is game design?
Keep crying.
>>320491762
Butthurt EAfag detected.
>indie devs have time, manpower, and money to make AAA-tier games
You're dumb
>>320491762
when AAA-devs get creative and make good games again
so, never
This seems like hipocrisy. Many of these same indie visuals haters would also then look at AAA games that pit all their work into visuals and call them shit for it.
Its not like Toby was rich at the time or able to draw, and plenty of other indie games were most likely made in similar situations. Doing things the cheap way is never going to die out.
>>320491762
you want to save this country? kill all the teenagers
Indies are the last thing that can successfully balance out AAA shit.
AAs are gone. Now its up to Indies to make successful smaller games which will then fund somewhat bigger games.
>>320491913
No, fuck you.
>>320492025
>>320492171
Not having the resources of an AAA developer is no excuse for making a game that looks like it was created in the 70's. Plenty of indie devs put actual effort into the visuals of their games, but the only ones that are successful are the ones where they didn't even try. Like Minecraft, ShovelKnight, Undertale, etc. It's lazy, busywork, and you faggots eat it up every time.
>>320492796
>Shovel Knight didn't have good visuals
Are you fucking high?
>>320492796
>not having resources is no excuse to make a game that doesn't have resources
Is this guy for real?
>>320492796
>>320492796
Not every developer is an artist anon, most indies dont have the money to hire one and pixel art can look good.
>Shovel Knight looks like Atari shit
That games art direction is great and they were smart about how they approached the retro aesthetic.
>>320491762
>fad
2D indie games have been done since the 80s.
>>320491762
When will the "When will the 2D/Indie game fad die?" fad die?
>>320491762
>GOTY
Undertale didn't got this award anywhere. It sold less than 500k and people only talk about it here (where its retarded fanbase thinks falseflaggers and ironic shitposters actually like the game) and in a few tumblr shitholes.
ITT mad bitch niggas hating on a successful individual
>>320492796
So what?
>wanting indie devs with no resources to make anything other than simple games
I don't think you understand what "indie" means, OP.
>Undertale image
>GOTY
I guess you got your OP worng buddy, Rocket league is the indie GOTY.
Undertale only award is Garbage of the year.
>>320492796
>Shovel Knight
>lazy busywork
Hide & ignore
>>320493185
Is there no Indie GOTY awards? It would probably be a contender.
All indie games will start having great graphics once everyone on earth suddenly gets artistic talent. Until then people who wanna make games but arent very good artists will continue to make pixel games.
>>320491762

I'm tired of kids like you shitposting and thinking they are right.
Stick your shitty opinions up your ass and realize that no one fucking cares what you think, 2D and Indie exist because there is a market for it.
>>320493357
There is the indie category and Undertale was a contender but didn't win it anywhere.
>>320491762
When will the 3D/Tripple-AAA fad die? I'm so sick of seeing some 200-employee corporation studio create some bland brown/green 1st Person Shooter that looks like it was made from every other brown and bloom FPS in the past year. Gaining infinite praise and adjusting their paychecks all the way to the bank while it's named GOTY
>>320492796
>ShovelKnight
>lazy busywork
>didn't put effort into their visuals
Aaaaaaaand this nigger doesn't know what he's talking about.
On to the next thread folks.
>>320492796
>Shovel Knight has bad visuals
Good job I got a bit agitated.
>>320491762
I would rather play a simple yet complete game rather than pay $60 for a physical game only to find you have to download a huge ass patch and it requires DLC to be complete.
>>320493469
Yea, I just saw that anon said Rocket League won. It looks like a neat game and a fun take on soccer.
>>320493545
Fanboyism is the death of the industry
>>320492796
>ShovelKnight
>didn't put effort into visuals
Are you actually retarded?
>>320491762
When aare you going to die?
>>320491762
reminder:
The more you call these games shit and low-effort, the more mental gymnastics you have to make not to do them yourself, if only for the money/praise you seem jealous about.
>>320495765
Yeah. Brand loyalty is definitely gonna kill off the industry. Some of you motherfuckers are just so goddamn dumb.
Don't buy them.
>>320492796
>Shovel knight
Well, opinion discarded
Graphics aren't everything. In fact, they are the least important aspect out of the three main components of a game(story, gameplay and graphics).
That said, Undertale's graphics are extremely ugly and budget isn't the only reason for that. They could easily make a more visually appealing game with a little more effort, but decided to not do so to appeal to the hipster crowd with ''retro'' graphics.
I mean, I like the game but the visuals are fucking atrocious, even for a game of its budget.
>>320500919
The character design is cute.
>>320501020
That's subject, but personally I think they are ugly as fuck. I absolutely loathe the graphics and character design in Undertale. Which is a pity because I like really like other aspects of the game.
>>320491762
Someone is mad jelly
>>320500919
The only thing I really found to be hideous was the Ruins and the main character's sprite, which was made by an entirely different artist. I herd it was made by the girl Toby was trying to fuck at the time.
While Shovel Knight had some great effort put into it, Metal Slug was made with only like two extra staff members under most likely just a year.
NES was a limit, not an advantage.
>>320501396
I hate this dumbass argument.
People still make black and white films for a multitude of reasons. You don't always have to utilize the full technical ability of the medium you're using, otherwise every movie would be in 3D or something.
Wasn't developing for the atari incredibly difficult?
>>320492212
Notice how this post has no replies...
2D isn't the problem, it's just that indies love shitting out things that look pre-NES for the so-called "retro" appeal. At least put some effort into how it looks.
>>320502624
Because we give the benefit of the doubt and assume he's trolling
>>320491762
>Expecting one-man indies to make 3D games, or at least Metal Slug tier 2D graphics
Fucking ASCII is enough for me, you niggers need to have a sense of scale when it comes to these things.
how is this an actual opinion that people have
Indie fags need to fuck off. Its getting to hipster levels and these people have shit taste
>>320491762
>>320491762
>>320505065
I'd say it's better than OoT
>>320505065
Undertale still lost to Rocket League in a vote that actually mattered. Gamefaqs' polls are worthless anyway.
>>320505230
Doesn't matter that's worthless. The Gamefaqs babbys will still make a salt mountain worthy of the dead sea.
>>320491762
heh this game looks funny, what is it?
>>320505230
>Vote
TGA award winners were chosen via judge panels made up of industry insiders and major players in the industry. It's basically a MSM circlejerk.
Only 3 awards were actually democratically voted for by the public: best esports team, best fan made content, and most anticipated game.
>>320505230
Rocket League is technically an indie, but it has AAA levels of marketing
>>320505230

But they don't use unfiltered audio, a grainy piano soundtrack, and 240p resolution you idiot.
Of which the equals on the NES Shovel Knight cheated on regardless. What's with /v/ and shitty analogies anyway?

That's what happened after ww1&2
And it was a economic depression after that so you tell me what benefit that would give to the world.

Make it easy for me to shit out a 3D game in my spare time and I'll do it
>>320511568
Apparently you've never opened Unity before.
You could easily make a pretty decent game in 6 hours.
>>320511661
Don't lie. Unity and decent are two completely separate concepts.
>>320511661
I have, and I could make little demos in it but they were all shitty. If I wanted to make something good and presentable I'd need people who are smarter than programming than I am, and people who know how to model and animate 3D stuff.
>>320507829
Look at this faggot. What a crybaby.
>>320511756
You're right, Unity sucks.
