pre rendered backgrounds like this were expensive, so you won't find too many games with this specific style on the ps1 unfortunately. you'll have way more luck with comfy industrial/urban settings if you're willing to go back to 16 bit instead. The only ones that jump to mind that haven't been mentioned are Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis and Gorky 17 (kinda). None of them are niche.

Fine, name more. Also on the PC there are some that would fit this category with prerendered backgrounds, like the Longest Journey and probably some other adventure games I can't think of.

OK all retards can GET OUT because I actually am getting some pretty good recommendations ITT. Not the OP, but still a based topic idea. Why was the gritty industrial look so popular on PS1? Was there some technical limitation reason for leaning toward this style?

>Was there some technical limitation reason for leaning toward this style?

Metal Gear 1-2 were jungle themed, but they realized the PS couldn't handle that. Instead they went for Alaska since the terrain is so much simpler. Snow, + industrial military base. All nice hard flat edges.

MGS3 returned to jungle entirely because they could finally do it.

I mean, this is basically the "I'm looking for FF7likes" thread.

Septerra Core doesn't really have any hard similarities to FF7 outside of the artistic direction.

>> No.5889692

>>5889567
It seems like it was a common art style during that era in general, espeically on PSX. Crash Bandicoot is like the only game that had vibrant colors. Everything else was industrial-core. MGS, FFVII, FFVIII, RE series, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve, plus everything else named in this thread.

OH SHIT ABE'S ODDYSEE HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED THAT IT JUST CROSSED MY MIND.

During the Xbox or PS3 era everything was just brown post apocalyptic shit, so I'm thinking it's one of those directions nudged along by popular taste as well as hardware limitations. For whatever reason meat factories rendered well on the Playstation.

I dunno that it fits the “cozy” point. The Monsaic Lines portion and maybe the Paramonia intro are fairly benign wilderness portions, but on the whole the game is pretty hostile. Though it is cozy for me just because the game has a huge nostalgia factor; even the most harsh environments there are comforting in some way for me.

Don't mind that faggot. I know exactly where you're coming from. I had an older brother that I'd experience games with. I have fond memories if watching him play RE1 and 2 while shitting my fuckikg pants out of fear. I've actually been watching Carcinogen's let's plays, which along with his commentary, pretty well simulates that experience.
