/vr/ - Retro Games

Never cared for pre-rendered backgrounds or get the overwhelming love for them.

Not saying they're ugly, just this infatuation with them over the years is bizarre, especially when trying to sell the idea they looked AMAZING and STUNNING on a fucking CRT, which I can only amount to my gen desperately trying to prove to Zoomers and Normalfags who've otherwise seen then on a worse format. Guess I just don't appreciate them enough over hand drawn (spites or otherwise) and fully rendered environments, like Saga Frontier 2, Legends of Mana, Xenogears and Vanillaware's titles.

Did you know that if you're looking for promising technologies to preemptively make people sick of you might as well just jump a whole decade ahead to neural network upscaling. Runahead may actually be truly usable in another year or two and you'll never get everyone to be parroting that it sucks before then.

Neural network upscaling makes for more eye catching shit posts too, see?

What games have you guys been experimenting with?
