Mr W Phallus Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Day 23 - I was gonna say it's a toss up between Wind Waker and Third Generation Pokemon (Ruby/Sapphire) but then I remembered how good Viva Piñata looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 When it came to overall art style I loved Okami the most. I don't think the animations were as fluid as Wind Wakers (which to be honest, I think I like more than the cel-shaded look itself in that game) but the overall look is what I always think back on whenever this is brought up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) I really like Brink's art style. Either that or demons souls. Edited April 7, 2011 by Hakidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with Wind Waker also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 TF2 circa 2007. (though I've not played Wind Waker or Okami/majority of Nintendo games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 That's a toughie. I've always been partial to Valve's Source engine games because they are understated; they don't overdo bloom, bump mapping, specular, or postprocessing effects but instead focus on higher resolution textures and a more grounded, earthy look. It looks far more real to me than games like Crysis (though that one was pretty too). It's hard to just pick one based off art style - off the top of my head, Chrono Trigger, Epic Mickey, A Boy and His Blob (Wii), Bit.Trip Runner, Super Mario Galaxy, Dragon Quest IX, TF2, the Myst series, Rise of Nations, Gish, and VVVVVV.

MetalCaveman Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Valkyria Chronicles, CANVAS engine = awesome art style! Also: Brink and Borderlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicariousShaner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I was a big fan of the Ace Attorney art style, because of how colorful everything was. Gave the characters great expressions as well. I cant imagine "OBJECTION" looking any other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Okami, because in my English project where I chose the topic "Video games as art," it helped to have a video game based on an actual art style, sumi-e. Valkyria Chronicles is a close second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr W Phallus Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I just remembered, although I've never actually played it, but from the videos I've seen Wario Land: Shake It or whatever is was called looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Day 24 - Favourite classic game Pre-Playstation 1 game I think. Or, at a push, PS1/N64/Dreamcast Edited April 8, 2011 by Nexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Tetris on the Gameboy. I think that game was as close to perfect as you can get. Games are too complicated now to get that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Is Civilization II "classic" enough? Otherwise I'd probably have to go with Super Mario Bros. 3 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) This is a tough one. I've been thinking about it for a while now - narrowed down to the following list. Pokemon Blue Sim City 2000 Myst Tetris Super Mario Land Super Mario Bros. 3 Paperboy Asteroids It's hard to pick just one because of the variety present in classic gaming - how do you compare an experience like Myst to something like Tetris or Sim City? If I were forced to pick I suppose Super Mario Bros. 3. It's remembered so fondly for a reason. Edited April 8, 2011 by p4warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Pokémon Gold, Super Mario Bros 2 and Yoshi's island. (Technically I played those second two as Super Mario Advance and Super Mario Advance 3 but same difference.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr W Phallus Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Probably The Witcher next, now that I've got my essays out of the way. The weather seems to nice for playing video games right now though.
