When people complain about "photorealism" this is always repeating in my mind

I sort of like the remake's stylized realism art style, saw roots of it in Infinite, issue is they ditched all the "alien" or interesting art direction in favor of something plain.

this has been a repeated issue since after halo 2. They just went around the long way to finish the job to erase anything that isn't this quasi-realism greebled mil-scifi look. But maybe halo 1 was the outlier and the actual intended shape of the series is what the remake displays.

ya ever notice the crew guys in halo are exactly the same as the civilians in oni

343i has always headed that way, way more mil-tech sci-fi. remember that one guy saying the new suit design should look like an F-15?

The game the Oni people made after Oni *and* the game that was broadly meant to be a successor to the Marathon series. Which, y'know, that's an FPS trilogy that had sprites that looked very hand drawn and almost like they were maybe supposed to look comic book-ish or something like that. So.

I think of this a lot when people describe The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as "realistic". It's certainly more detailed and less traditionally cartoony than its direct predecessor but it's still an immensely stylized game, with a slightly eerie puppet- or doll-like look to its characters.

soz 4 tk to any actual artists working on that game...my beef is with the boring bosses who'd sooner die than let anyone under them do interesting work. like a new video game
