Hell, even just the addition of a superclass that had all of the weapons would be way more fun.

So what I'm saying is: bring back low contrast black line sprite work

I dunno why, I just think it looks neat

It's also quite possible that, due to the different contrast curves of CRTs, that the difference between the darker colors in the gradients and black was significantly less than what we see on modern displays.

I'm guessing the reasons for that particular look were mostly down to CRTs of the time. They tended to have higher contrast, so the 'low contrast' look was probably pushed quite a lot more, and the black half-outline probably helped the sprites pop off the background.

There was this pixel-art style in late 80s-early 90s arcade games that fascinates me, where the sprites and backgrounds were low contrast, but the characters had these really dark outlines, but only on one side.

I'm surprised I've never seen anyone bring it back, it's such a specific style!

Revisiting an old project with real-time 3D pixel art lighting. Was reminded of how cool some of it looked. I really wanna use it in a future project. :^) #unity3d #pixelart #gamedev

Mate I already have regrets writing a whole engine for my game from scratch with no libraries don't do this to me

But film also has decades upon decades of legal shit surrounding it as well that games didn't really have the time to get entrenched.

Like you could only watch movies in theatres for a period of time that equals how long videogames were even a thing.

More I think that the core structure of the film industry is so old now that it's a LOT more rigid than games had a chance to be.

But then again, the publisher-distributor-brick-and-mortar model was pretty well-defined for games until people saw how much easier Steam was for everyone.

God I wish there was something like Steam for movies. Just... a good collection of stuff that regularly goes on sale and still lets you download stuff even if it gets delisted.

Like fuck man, I'd happily pay $20 for an mp4 of a movie that I'd feel comfortable about not suddenly disappearing.

I dunno why some parents insist on choosing what haircuts kids should have. Just let them choose! If they hate it then they learn something!

My parents insisted that my favorite haircut was the Stackhat haircut and I fucking haaaated it

defending games is meaningless, you’re never gonna make that person who made you feel gross take it back, and you have to get okay with the idea that some people will be smug little assholes about shit you like and that’s just their loss

you’re the grown up now

And hell, there's every chance that without Nintendo, some other company may have picked up the torch and gone full sprint, maybe even ending up with a substantially better future!

But there's no denying it would be an incredibly different landscape.

Yeah I addressed that in another thread; there was still stuff going on elsewhere but the US was a HUGE market, and without it videogame tech would have progressed for sure, but likely years or even a decade or more behind where it is now.
