Why don't we get more games that look this good?

[Black_Willow]

All previous games in this thread pale in comparison to Gumboy.

Hammerfight is pretty great looking.

Much better in motion of course.

That's some, like, totally fine taste in independent gaming. Aquaria was bloody awesome up to where i played, nya.

I really dig this "whole game as a single, continuous area" thing of old 2d games (Metroid, Castlevania, Turrican, etc.).

Aquaria was p. cool to, for a Metroid ripoff.

Reaching the surface and jumping out of the water was really great moment.

looks good, but one of the previous games is Machinarium so ... no.

The Whispered World doesn´t look bad too:

we don´t?

Non wapanese, non faggotry >> wapanese faggotry.

Bwuh? But Turrican had distinct levels, huge as they might have been.

My fail. I played it on C64 with every level loaded from the tape, maybe that's why I thought it was originally continuous.

We already knew that 2D > 3D
One of the first 2D games I remember playing that I really liked was Abe's Oddysee. Among the recent ones I played Aquaria was cool too. Machinarium was alright as well.

ORLY? Do the 1st have bosses with tentacles:

OR...
Oral sex in hot baths?

No, it isn't and such opinion is a sign of 'tardation.

However, 2D is constrained in such way, that it is perfectly possible to make perfect graphics for a given resolution, while with perspectivic 3D graphics it is simply impossible today.
Plus, it's easier to stylize a 2D image, than it is to stylize a 3D scene.

Wisdom: So the game includes hentai. Does it gives a bonus to your male's stats? What about the chick, is there lesbian sex/hentai too?

And these games look jawsome, I'll need to get some of these ASAP.

 

[Melcar]

Would have been better is she was a futa though.

Best of Both Worlds, huh?

Actually all of these screens look shit except for that one that looks like a point and click adventure.

Fair enough. Also:

The Neverhood, finally a game in this thread that doesn't look like painted ass sweat.

 

[Brother None]

There seems to be some confusion in this thread between "looks beautiful" and "has highly detailed soft colour backgrounds". One does not equate the other.

Since the game is Japanese, I deduce from this picture that they are brother and sister.

 

[Melcar]

It could be a kid and his female android house maid.

 

[MetalCraze]

Pfft. Gimme some dark and gritty mature shit

 

[Melcar]

Where are the tits man? You can't be a mature game without tits.

 

[MetalCraze]

Your character can presumably fuck an underage girl. That's mature enough

 

[spekkio]

Pfft. Gimme some dark and gritty mature shit.

Damn, LoK was released in 1996?
I remeber seeing a teaser of this game on some german-demo disc (In Deutsche Sprache Naturlich!) running on friend's PSX connected to old black&green 10-12'' monitor from Atari XE.
Good times
