Which 3D games from the fifth generation do you think have aged the best in terms of graphics? Pic related and Star Fox 64 both still look great, imo. They don't necessarily look "modern" but they're both stylized in a way that sort of takes advantage of the technical limitations.

It depends on many things, and a lot of people will never agree about early 3D. Some people find low-poly graphics to be charming, others thing it's just ugly.
I personally think anything can look good with the appropiate art direction and displaying them at the original resolution and ratio on a CRT.
Goemon games come to mind as some 5th gen games I still think look very charming.

I've been a longtime fan (and defender) of early 3D. I feel like there are ways to make it look really good if you're aware of your limitations and you work with them (as opposed to something like GoldenEye, which goes for "realism" and as a result doesn't look as good as the games we've posted). I'd like to see it "come back" like pixel art.

i have no issue with the low poly look, but they were usually coupled with poor draw distance which just kills it

Goldeneye doesn't look that bad if you don't stretch the original resolution and play on a CRT. But yeah, I agree completely, art direction is always better when it doesn't go for realism. Even in the current day.

I wouldn't say "great", but there are still games that manage to be not-ugly.

I still think the moment I discovered the wing cap in Mario 64 was the single craziest moment of vidya majesty, and it still feels and looks great today.

You joking? BM64 looks like dogshit, tho at least it runs at 60fps.

I don't think it looks bad, just kind of boring, the color palette is very barren.
Hero and Second Attack are a little better in the art direction but not that much. They're all a blast to play though.

Sheep dog and wolf due to cell shading.
2D Oddworld games and 2D games in general if you play them on crt that is
MGS, partially thanks to the camera which is usually far away enough to hide imperfections.
Ridge Racer and Wipeout games because simple colour pallet and lowpoly make for a distinctive art style.
Front Mission because nature of the game are flat surfaces and straight angles.
Even butfuckingugly twitchy mess of polygons that is Medal of Honour 1 and 2 looks fucking good just because of the colors and design they chose.
5 Minutes in those germans will look like straight out of the dirty dozen.
