Early 3D graphics in indie games- what do you say?
Now in the indie games extreme popularity of pixel art, or rather, of being a her, which is all fed up. On Steam we see a huge number of projects that put these graphics as something special, and get as good ratings or negative.I suddenly became interested to know your opinion: how would you react if, in some abstract successful indie game was the graphics in the style of, say, the first Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Deus Ex. After all, once we've played these games and somehow did not complain about bad graphics.
I have to say: I don't know much about game development to accept the obvious fact that indie developers may have the means to make a full game on CryEngine, so do not swear. And the fact of the game on nostalgic feelings of the players too.
In General, write)
I haven't seen the early 3D graphics in the games of Greenlight. early I understand the technological level of quake 2 to play the first half of 2000 and accordingly, there is no backward compatible with the hardware of those years. for example here though burst not seen the shadow of the shadow arrays and stuff. (it was really a couple of candidates but I do not know exactly how they're made and they were not kind)
a large part of the less sane of engines which can be including for free with no payments to do we have to defol quite modern graphics level so about нвн2 and easily bend over top iron his game as 100 Krusanov at maximum speed.
to make the games for example Deus CEN 1 only for example cruisine 3 and there already and would not make sense to do a soapy texture and coal models are not will automatically be standartny kronikovsky grafon. and уе4 will also be minimal to have a minimal уе4 dizajny grafon. to make the point 8битным will have to write quite a complex Shader and any conversion. so this will not happen. however, to make such a game is not much easier than some time ago. just be ready engine and you can not bother with the optimization of the scene. but for indie developers Amateurs this level little little achievable and attainable budget.
and pikselnye game is a little different direction. there again determines the game engine in most cases. in other cases try to save on the development. therefore, minimalist style.
