After so many AAA games, here's a bit of indie coverage on Gamersyde with a video of Tales of the Neon Sea. We were able to record the gameplay presentation of the game in Cologne, so without further ado, here it is.
I still play old, pixelized games but modern "pixulz" for the sake of it i don't like.
Our games back then didn't look like that since it was near 1:1 on CRT but youngsters only know emulation on LCD...

It will never look "retro" to me.
Scanlines on the other hand...
Games would only look pixelized when there was a zoom effect or played on a PC monitor. Pixel stuff is a "thing" or better said WAS, since 90's 3D games are making a comeback, the most recent is Forsaken.

Pixelization in 3d games was an issue and oh boy were we glad when hardware accelerated and filtered rendering were introduced. The blurrines of the N64 felt sooo good.
Of course the art direction has to come with it and i still play Doom and Quake on "software mode" since high res and texture filtering destroys the presentation and contrast of the textures.(it looks too smooth and washed out...)

I loved this game, you can play with different characters, each with their own abilities. You had a dash, that was basically like flying - Really cool mechanic. Squaresoft at its best. (1 Week ago)

Found the game I mentioned - never thought to look for it till now. The name is "Soukaigi": [url] Seeing some comments of people who looked for it for 10 years. Crazy! (1 Week ago)

But got to a place where I couldn't progress further, because I didn't understand Japanese - before 2000, I wanna say. Really liked it and still remember it randomly sometimes. (1 Week ago)

And then later their American versions. There was this Japanese game only released in Japan, I think it was from Squaresoft, the game was quite cool and I went very far in it. (1 Week ago)

@nostradamus: Yes, PSX, N64 & Sega Saturn as well. Those days, I played a lot of imported games. I believe I played Final Fantasy 8 around 6 months before the US release. Tenchu 1 & 2 in Japanese. (1 Week ago)
