      Even better will be the near future when games like this can be automatically ported to the most relevant system it would run on at full frame rate. I can imagine this actually running on a PlayStation and a physical copy being generated that would run on actual hardware.
      These console systems when they came out set a coding and hardware standard that new games can quickly format themselves to in order to have their games become "canon" for that system

    The music in this game is beautiful. I almost feel like not watching the gameplay and just closing my eyes to this, but the visuals are so beautiful. This game really captures a slice of the 90's/early 2000's video game charm. It takes me back to a time where I was a kid and over 50% of what would draw me to a game when I was checking out game demos was aesthetic, checking out games like Fur Fighters and being sucked in by the colours and style

    No thanks, I already got my "Dread" fill with Metroid. But in all seriousness, this is a gorgeous looking game, and gives me more a feel for early PC 3D games than it does a PS1 game. The frame rate itself is pretty smooth, but the atmosphere is delightfully unsettling, the music is haunting, and it feels kind of mysterious.

    • @SpecShadow
      @SpecShadow 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Steven Johnson What I mean by that term is making indie games ugly on purpose, to the point where it's hard to see what's on the screen when it's full of effects. Even worse when you combine it with flashy, modern graphic effects like bloom, HDR and others. Meanwhile old games with pixel graphic focused on style and lacked special effects, which results in way more clear picture and you could see what's going on.

    • @Quadrolithium
      @Quadrolithium 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do love the pixel mess more that triple eyyy gaming, who needs raytracing if you get good story that can be conveyed effectively or gameplay.
      And also because my computer cannot handle those games without becoming a fire hazard. The only games I can play are outdated or indie.
      This game aside from Kings Field, also feels like Shadow Tower Abyss. Not every monster is immediately hostile. Take advantage of them, as some are more useful alive than dead

      Might I suggest Outward? You Journey to fulfill your quest but the quest will not hold your hand. You have a map but no markers meaning you have to read the quest's description to find out where you need to go and check the topography of the land. Your Journey will always take several days and no you cant just superman your way there, you have to eat and sleep to survive which makes it longer, you might have to go on a detour on a monster den or a bandits town to resupply as your food will rot, and your equipment will wear, hunt animals, set up a camp, etc... The quest doesn't generate unique enemies or items, they are always there even if you go to that area without a quest.
      It's not about finishing a quest, It's how you accomplished it.
