You know what time it is? Time for terrible taste!

Is this RPG Codex?

Some of us have been graphics whores since the 1980s.

Spoiler

Defender of the Crown, Archon, Aquaventura, Shadow of the Beast

I did a search.
Defender of the Crown is ingame and animated, the rest are cover art which is not gameplay graphics.
You are talking about being a graphic whore you should be posting gameplay graphics instead of cover art.
They may be better than Unexplored but do the gameplay graphics qualify for a graphics whore?

Archon title art vs gameplay graphics.
I've played this, pretty fun.

Aquaventura art vs ingame graphics.

Shadow of the Beast cover art and ingame graphics, the game art is good.

Unexplored's poor cover art.

Bonus artstyle that was not implemented.

The graphics update is dead. Long live the graphics update.

When we announced the graphics update, people reacted strongly. And mostly not in favor of the proposed changes. And although we still need to draw in more people, we were swayed by your arguments. But also we realized that we needed to invest too much time and effort in making the style work to your satisfaction.

If you graphic whores want good ingame graphics, here is nice graphics made in 1990. BEST GAEM EVAR!

Edit to add:
The issue isn't whether the games look better or worse than Unexplored.
He is talking about being a graphics whore but posts cover art instead of gameplay graphics and whether those are "graphic whore" quality.

It's Deus Ex.

Too bad. With how the game ended up looking, it could just as well used ASCII characters.

I didn't say they look worse, that is not the issue.

He should be posting gameplay graphics and they should qualify for graphics whore.
Will the ppl complaining about bad graphics here complain about Aachon or Aquaventura today, not whether they are better than Unexplored, a lot of games do.

Any good?

Any good?

alright. It's a HL2 clone, but with time-altering superpowers.

Yeah, I wonder why this wasn't implemented. Less compatible with the proc gen algorithm? Harder to make?

It looks much better and - most importantly - more readable than the abomination they went with.

Basically we get 3 powers that manipulate time:

1) Stop
2) Slow
3) Reverse

Mostly we are using the first two. The game starts rather abruptly with short intro. And it really feels heavily inspired by the dystopian Half Life 2. Even the antagonist has a very similar voice like Dr. Kleiner. The guns are really basic, but I liked the shotgun, which has the proper oomph. Also the sniper crossbow with detonating bolts. Graphically looks all right, and the game runs on custom Saber3d engine. No crashes on x64 Windows 10 (although you need a patch, if you have more than 8 cores to avoid crashing screen at startup. Here is the link.)

When it comes to the enemies, we are fighting mostly the soldiers. Later on we've meet soldiers wearing time suits as well. There is a couple of annoying sections, where the controls can get wonky, and you really aren't sure what to do. This reminded me of some mods for old HL. But the scale of some maps is amazing, huge areas with no mid-game loading, while we are traveling from point A to point B. Timeshift had some problems during development, and you can see it in the very short cutscenes, and the story deteriorating into a really cheap end fight. If you love FPS genre, and want to try something else, it's definitely worth trying. I finished it in 5 hours.

I bought this game way after it is finished but from the news:
Bold emphasis mine.

2016 2nd October

However, an even bigger update is on the horizon: we're going to update the visuals...
Here's your first look at some new key art made by Karel Millenaar:
So, the main character will transform from an anonymous blob into a real hero. With a head, body, legs and arms. It's all still very early, but we are slowly starting to implement new style elements and replacing some of the enemies. Here's a very early screenshot of that new style:

We don't quite know yet the extent of the overhaul, but it will have a serious impact on the visuals either way. As always: let us know what you think!

The graphics update is dead. Long live the graphics update.

When we announced the graphics update, people reacted strongly. And mostly not in favor of the proposed changes. And although we still need to draw in more people, we were swayed by your arguments. But also we realized that we needed to invest too much time and effort in making the style work to your satisfaction.

So we decided to take a new approach, one that stays much closer to the current look.

Here's our new design:

- We gave the hero a different eye, a body, and shoulders. This should make him more humanoid. No longer do you have to wonder what you actually are.

- The hero and other humanoids have a height and parallax effects. We also lowered the focal point of the camera slightly to emphasize this.
...
All in all we hope that in this way we can stay true to the original design, but also make the screenshots look better, and create store assets that are going to be more effective in bringing people in.

It was released 4-5 months later on 22nd Feb 2017.

Yes. But now it reminds me of that ancient arcade game where you control a space ship.
