You’re also going to need a ROM, which shouldn’t be too hard to find on the high seas

Kb+M controls are awesome, especially for diagonal movement that lets you run at a steady 141% speed - it’s also way easier to land your shots while aiming.
- Comment on Indie games using retro graphics 1 week ago:
I have a few in my library:
- Signalis (low-poly (not that you can notice), low-res, CRT effect)
- CrossCode (2D, low-res)
- Valheim (low-poly, low-res, still graphically intensive due to lighting)
- Lethal Company (low-res, bitcoin miner levels of GPU load)
- Super Alloy Ranger (2D, low-res)
- Terraria (you know Terraria, don’t lie)
- Iconoclasts (2D, low-res)
- Starbound (Terraria, but a bit worse and in space)
I don’t think these games aim for nostalgia, nostalgia alone is a good reason to choose low-poly or low-res graphics.
Low-res textures and sprites have the advantage of being much easier for artists not only to hand draw, but to explicitly choose what details a certain surface.
3D games with low-res rendering also have their own appeal, like you say: they tell you what you’re looking at but still leaves your imagination the burden of filling in the details.To me low-poly models don’t really have their own appeal, unlike pixelated visuals, however I also don’t mind them at all.
I still occasionally play games like Perfect Dark and TLoZ: OoT on their recompiled PC ports, they look despite their low-poly nature because they don’t need high-poly models and their animations would look uncanny if they did (goofy ahh textures though).However, there are some retro effects that I find to be straight up ugly: Signalis applies a CRT effect occasionally, which I can’t say I’m fond of.

Isn’t it more of a blue shift / red shift situation, rather than scattering?

I don’t know of it’s considered a classic or if it will ever be, but to me Crysis 2 generally looks way better than most of the stuff you see nowadays.
Otherwise, I think Halo Reach is the best looking Halo and it doesn’t show its age too much, if you look at the MCC/PC version.

The logical inclusive disjunction (OR) has many similarities with the arithmetic addition, while the same is true for the logical conjunction (AND) and the arithmetic multiplication:
Boring × dystopia is the key here.🤓
