No, western devs were just too cheap back then to hire good artists. The concept art for newer western games is much higher quality. And compare with the concept art for leading Japanese games, like metal slug. Competent, professional stuff.

Remember, Tomb Raider wasn't developed by a tiny little indie house, they were cutting edge 3D game developers.

Hey /vr/

I need help on something thats been bothering me and I was wondering if someone here could help.

I am a big Metal Slug fan, mostly the artwork/artstyle, sprite design etc. Especially the first artist who worked on it, but really any art of metal slug I love. Thats why I'm wondering, do any of you know of a Metal Slug art book? Or maybe an old SNK book that had Metal Slug work in it? I collect art books and I am searching endlessly for a Metal Slug one.

Also this is a retro games artbook thread also. I have a Final Fantasy IX artbook that is just beautiful.
