In my opinion only 3D graphics get outdated. 2D graphics don't as long as they have a high enough resolution. Original BW graphis were outdated because they were too low res. SC:R won't become outdated in a very, very long time though. | ||

I think with 3D, the question is often 'How realistic is it?', which leaves it subject to advances in technology. 2D on the other hand feels much more like an artistic choice, which is why pixel games aren't ridiculed how absurd they look. | ||

Just the games, that aim for realism get outdated if they don't look realistic anymore. I still like the looks of many N64 games even though they are 3D. And several PS2/3 and Xbox games look like crap. | ||

People like the look of N64 because of irrational nostalgia, not because they look good lmfao. In fact N64 had the worst graphics and performance of that console generation. Sorry to break your internet circlejerk but it's true. | ||

MariO64 & Banjo Kazooie still looks good because they got nice artistic unrealist choices. Same goes for older Doom, some of the newest levels made by guys really good at it, they looks good because they got irrealist architecture. | ||

If you think Mario 64 looks anywhere near as good as Doom in terms of artistic direction and cohesion you are high as fuck lol. Which is ironic because Doom isn't even 3D but hey... And yeah, true, WADs like Vailant and Ancient Aliens look fucking amazing, it's crazy what the guys at doomworld keep making even 20+ years later. | ||

Come on Mario and Zelda both look way better than anything you can see on the 3DO/Jaguar (at least in terms of games that were released during that gen, the jaguar has some fantastic homebrew games that came out way later). The N64 had a huge issue with the cpu having to go through the gpu to get to the ram and having cartridges instead of CDs was also an obvious issue. But the people at Nintendo sure as hell knew how to make good use of their system. The n64 is actually the most powerful system of it's generation, it's just that most 3rd parties sucked at developing for it. And I honestly think that Mario/Zelda are at least up to par with the PS1s/Saturns most beautiful games. And just to clear it up: I never owned a N64 as a kid, and all my friends back then had PS1s. I only started to play games on the n64 a couple of years ago when I got into collecting older games systems. | ||

Afaik, aside from that, Blizzard has not be involved in anything related to ASL so they only make money from it. So, the barrier is Blizzard delaying the license to Afreeca for ASL5, which generates them money without any investment on their part? Something is still off. | ||

Ps1 was made for 3D, so had the best 3d graphics, Saturn was made for 2D so best 2D graphics. While nintendo 64... i cant see where it shines, all that foggy graphics with only cartoonish colors, so far from the reality that ps1 can give. I guess its time to become real hardcore and play with joypad, keyboard is making the game too easy for real men. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mario-64-Zelda-Mash-Up-1.jpg) I'm sorry but that looks like shit no matter how rosy your nostalgia glasses may be. Most 2D games from that era (like Brood War) look way, way better. | ||

Most 2D games from that era (like Brood War) look way, way better. You're forgetting that you're looking at a screenshot (still image). Mario 64 is a game with lots of motion, primarily from a constantly moving and rotating camera. If you actually play the game or watch a gameplay video on youtube, the low resolution textures are not as noticeable. What really "ages" older 3D games is clunky, frustrating controls, not its graphics. A good example of this is Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. | ||

It's some OoT/SM64-Mod. I guess the first google results from the actual game weren't ugly enough for you to support your case. :-/ In fact, it doesn't show up at all if you google for SM64 pictures. You really dug deep there because the actual screenshots don't look ugly at all. | ||
