Troonslop "Retro" Games / Demake games / PS1 Trannies / ULTRAKILL / Y2K trannies - Retro gaming is infected

[Diggus Bickus]

Personally, I feel like the common trap most indies fell into 15 years ago was making things overtly simplified for the sake of it. It's how you ended up with so many one-note platformers that focused more on trial-and-error vs. charm, character, or variety. Your Meat Boys, your Ns, your Jumpers, your Mighty Jill Offs, your I Wanna Be the ____ games, and so on.

So many people back then jumped on the train of calling Battletoads the hardest game ever made, but so many of them failed to realize there was more to Battletoads besides just being hard.

When you make an indie game with this retarded formula it's called "genius". But do the same shit in any "Mario maker" type game and it's called a "troll level"

I don’t understand why (zoomer) troons seem to fawn so much over PSX/N64/dreamcast graphics despite most of them being born after the end of that generation for any other reason than being lazy consoomers. There’s no short supply of DnB jungle breakcore playlists on youtube as well that appeal to that crowd of autists. I’ve never been one to care as much about graphics, but I also don’t miss the PSX and PS2 eras in terms of graphics.

They get told by YouTubers that generation was so good and the graphics are full of soul so then they want to impress those YouTubers with their omg so retro slop, it's why the bloodborne tranny latched onto that specifically and then coated it in psx paint

I saw a reply about how some developers didn't like that their vision was limited based on the hardware at the time, and this video popped in my head.

I don't remember which part, but at some point it mentions how once Redbook/streamable audio became available in games, Tim Follin was esctatic to finally move on and spread his wings on making so much more vibrant music without the shackles of sequenced audio. So much so that he said he would've quit composing for games all together if this wasn't the way forward for VG music.
Sure Tim completely rocked it in the 8-bit/16-bit era of game music, but based on that excerpt of him moving onto streamed audio just made me realize how good we actually have it in terms of available tools and how people like Tim had to live in a world were they had to make do with what they had.
It's too bad all these tools for lower entry ends up leading to a lot of lazy slop that don't understand why it was good in the first place.

I'd like to see one of these games use interlaced rendering so trannies can truly appreciate the retro gaming experience. Ultrakill needs to be completely incomprehensible when there's any semblance of motion on screen

don't understand why it was good in the first place.

That term has been getting thrown around a lot in this thread, huh?

 

[Vantablack Truth]

That's why I don't like stuff like geometry dash and kaizo romhacks, it just boils down to memorizing a set of inputs to beat a ridiculously hard level

Back on the topic of ultrakill, what are your thoughts on the soundtrack? I think it has some good highlights but doesn't fit the gameplay sometimes. It also seems to use a lot of shitty MIDI for the instrumentation and the songs can feel very cluttered

The soundtrack is pretty good albeit overhyped. Only a couple songs stuck with me but it accompanies the game itself well.

FYI he's also one of the niggers that you can probably blame for Changed, the furry grooming transformation game getting as big as it has.

These were THREE YEARS AGO. I'm sure it's not the single most popular playthrough, but I can't not consider him part of it. He's got little if any filter on what he plays for his channel.

What the hell? I feel bad for any normal person who gets this weird shit in their reccomended

This thread is long overdue.
Honestly, the best game on this list is Cruelty Squad, because it's a funny shitpost that gives you a lot of tools to fuck around with, and the developer tells you straight to your face that he likes to make experimental schizo shit that's fun to play. He's not a pretentious faggot like most of these troons, and that elevates his game even further because it legitimately has more interesting themes lifted from our world and Gnosticism than Ultrakill.

I am surprised by the rate at which people worship Ultrashit despite being a relatively good boomer shooter that gets dragged further down by Hakita choosing to redo old levels for no reason, adding useless gimmicks like fishing mode or crash bandicoot mode, or whining about people "misunderstanding" his vision of the game that hasn't had a good boss in a while. For every Minos Prime and Sisyphus Prime, we get an unengaging setpiece boss straight from a hack and slash game from PS3, and underwhelming new weapons and enemies that honestly tell me that the devs are losing steam and trying their best to keep hype alive than to make a good game.

I have some input about why people are appealed to this sort of thing and also would like to forward something I find interesting about this all. First, I don't get what's so confusing about trannies/disaffected, mentally unwell always-online people being obsessed with "retro" graphics. You're telling me that people who you can expect to stay inside all day, and refuse to face reality, love things that remind them of childhood (even if they're too young to have played any of these games, they've seen YouTube videos with "Y2K" aesthetics in their youth), safety, and simplicity. Others have (rightfully) pointed out how easy it is to get into (which I'll get to in a moment) but I think it's worth pointing out how these people are almost guaranteed to find the saturated colors, blocky geometry, and simple textures appealing. Even if they weren't born in the era to play these games, some of their earliest memories might be seeing them on the television, or watching videos of them on the internet.

Moving on, I'd like to highlight the difference in quality between the actual PSX era art and the current era's art. Obviously the older was better, but what I find funny is that, aside from these people using it as a crutch, a lot of them are learning with their limitations rather than working around them. Instead of being artists with preestablished skills, whose job is to communicate their greater vision with less fidelity, they're figuring out how to git gud at visual artistry WITHIN the bounds of pixel art/PSX 3d. You can see how it affects their non-"retro" art, in my opinion, and it's always funny to see

Would Signalis and its community be acceptable to post about here?

Yes

Absolutely. It's another interesting title ruined by a fanbase hyperfocusing on lesbians, and the devs aren't helping with their troon shit. I remember one of them making a Twitter post about how their setting has no cigarettes, alcohol, or other naughty things, and this wasn't an ironic joke. Their success seems to be a lightning in the bottle that worked thanks to lifting visuals from Twin Peaks and Silent Hill 2.

He's not a pretentious faggot like most of these troons, and that elevates his game even further because it legitimately has more interesting themes lifted from our world and Gnosticism than Ultrakill.

"He's not a pretentious faggot"
"It has deeper themes than the exact same fucking games"

You can only pick one. Also, the dev of Cruelty Squad might not be a pseudo-intellectual pretentious faggot, but I haven't met a single person who enjoys that game that isn't one.

You don't have to, because said themes aren't extremely deep or necessary for "understanding" the game. Building your setting around hyper advanced capitalism that's fueled by Archons making the universe work on an inherent system of value, without any form of true death, while you play as some nigga trying to ascend the corporate ladder and become a Demiurge is fresh, certainly better than redoing same themes all over again.

It's got more substance than "My plot is literally Doom but I took some characters from Dante's Inferno", and, "My plot is about lesbians in space but it's also physiological horror and less interesting SH2" and it's a joke game that wants you to play it than to read boring terminals or wait for an extremely vague cutscene.

 

[winderson_silva]

I think I saw one of these devs (maybe the Bloodborne PSX one?) quoting a post of the hyper realist corridor in MGS2 and getting mad and saying "no not all ps2 games looked like this you cant use it as standards"

it really proves that their modern audience AAA games are truly shit (AND THEY KNOW THIS DEEP DOWN) so they have to infect older better generations of games to cope with their modern gaming industry they already destroyed with their shitty troon culture.

honest question for you guys, do you think any other form of media could weather pozzed faggots like this? Triple A isn't in a great state right now but I'd still consider the overall state of the industry to be miles better than something like TV or animation.
