Incline 2D Art Appreciation Thread

All symphonies suck, BTW.

In fact all classical music is crap. You can find real, true mood in folk music more than in any of Bach, Mozart, or whomever's works.

PS: This one's nice:

Dust, An Elysian Tale:

Not actually my favourite artstyle, but considering the entire game (sans voiceacting and some music I think?) was done by a single dude, it's damned impressive.

SaGa Frontier:

Probably my all time favourite jrpg. Excellent music as well. Was a pain trying to find decent shots though, everyone seemed to take only super close in shots of the character sprites, which are easily the weakest part of the artstyle. There are a lot of amazing shots that are really zoomed out where your character is a blip on a gorgeous background, but I couldn't find one.

Damn, ghostdog brought Kof, Garou, and some others fighting games already, :manlytear". I'll continue from here.

How in the fuck did they even make these. Even the greatest pixel art I see on sites like pixejunk doesn't come anywhere close to this stuff, even with all the modern conveniences and photoshop and shit. Guess it was just a whole lot of time and effort.

Clock Tower

Beautiful game. Wish it had gotten proper sequels.

what is it man?

Oh, Legend of Mana.

Oh, my bad, didn't have a chance to play it though.

One more from Vanillaware - Odin Sphere

Hopefully I'll be able to play it on one of my consoles sometime.

Dark Seed 2

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

You didn't play Dark Seed 2 felipepepe ?


H.R. Giger artwork was superb in both parts.

 

[agentorange]

sadly the game is not worthy of the art.

I was fooled by Dark Seed screenshots once, reeled in then disappointed completely. Avoid.

Everything in this thread SUCKS.

Define Art.

Nothing much changed around here eh?

Beautiful game. Wish it had gotten proper sequels.

Legend of Mana has some really good locations, courtesy of seamless background merging. Or some other technical term I can't remember right now. Seriously makes you wonder how the hell good old PS1 pulled that off.

I wanted to link some Secret of Evermore Screenshots here, but realized that the images alone do nothing without the awesome soundtrack

Beware of small scale screens...

Secret of evermore was never one of the flagships when it came to the SNES' GFX chip, but damn did it convey atmosphere. It was one of the very few games to feauture soundtracks feauturing actual sounds only on certain maps.
Hence:



Impressive Jungle Atmosphere, done on the low bit module of the SNES! Better than many ambience tracks in todays games.




Shit I don't know what else to post here. All my favorite games are in 2d.
