l dont think so but l believe different art styles could be used for different menus without breaking general aesthetics

>>16098975

For what reason?

>>16099006

I think it could be done, very similar to minecraft cosplayers.

>>16099011

I've always liked when diferent styles are mixed, like panty and stocking or harvey birdman.

>>16098975

Well, there's this game.

there was this one game about som generic action FPS guy that goes around killing enemies from different game periods with 2D nazis low poly ayylmaos and high poly goys, it was on the xbox an PS3 but i cant remember the name,

>>16099220

>an PS3

You can't remember its name because the PS3 didn't have games.

>>16099236

who

Of course it's possible to do it, and do it well. But I'll be damned if I've seen it done before.

voxels are hard as fuck to animate, games are all about animation that's why they have not been in games that much.

>>16099276

Vangers and other weird titles used it, so i can definitely see it used as an artistic choice

>>16098975

>pixel art

>low poly

>voxel

>AAA realism

What you are asking is the equivalence of having someone paint a painting that has the art style consisting of Mosaic, Impressionism, Pointilism, and Realism as a cherry on top of the confusing shitpile.

Did you actually thought that it will all mesh together?

>>16098975

How can a 2D character exist in a 3D plane? low poly + AAA realism in the same spot would look weird as fuck.

>>16099242

Every day we head closer to that future.

>>16102149

Maybe he's thinking of a game like the style of The Messenger, where its possible to switch between styles (or something iirc, I don't remember)

>>16098975

>pixel art, low poly, voxels

These three things are already mixed together on a regular basis. Low poly art and low res/pixel art textures go hand-in-hand, and unless you're talking about nasty Minecraft voxels that's not hard to work in.

>AAA realism

This is the thing that throws a wrench in the stupid question you asked. Check em

Sure and you can make it mmo single-player local-coop story rich sandbox rougelike while you are at it.

>>16099081

Is that Michael Ironside?

i keep having the idea for a psychedelic megaman legends clone and this would fit well in that game

>your character is a well animated 2D spirite

>environments are low-poly 3D

>some realistic 3D shit thrown in there to fuck with you

>low-tier enemies that don't require that much animation are voxel-based while bosses are lowpoly 3D

my whole idea would be to disorient the player, and it would probably come out looking like shit but i want to make it anyway because im a crazy nigger.

too bad XNA doesn't exist anymore because that shit would be perfect for slapping together a game like this.

>>16098975

>AAA realism

Why add that in? You're thinking Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5 though.

Also old games used to do this a whole bunch to show off tech, like with SNES 3D simulation chips.

>>16098975

>pixel art

Artistically driven and shaded with palletted textures, almost entirely artist-defined with only colors and no view-dependent surface properties.

>low poly

As in neo-N64/PSX Polycount portfolio filler? Usually modelled using an unlit diffuse shader with artist-painted shadows/AO.

>voxels

Whatever the surface representation they tend to represent a single color value with no surface texture across the individual voxel

>AAA realism

As in the metalness workflow PBR ubershader approach? No, this wouldn't work without specifically adapting the previous styles to work with such a shading model, in which case you're not working in "pixel art", "low poly" or "voxels", you're working with view-oriented planes, simple meshes and large arrays of cubes that have the same material texture channels and get shaded the same as every other 3D mesh. And if you want the pixel art to be shaded along with the surrounding environment, the process of drawing bump and height maps for each sprite is essentially just a convoluted way of representing a 3D surface anyway so you might as well just make an animated 3D mesh and then render it onto a flat plane.

theres this new game that makes FPS and 2D enemies as if it was doom again….but im not exactly sure if thats what you are looking for

I could see a game doing the common cartoon cliche where they parody popular stuff in different art styles. Every level is a different level of technology and art style, and possibly different gameplay.

>Halo 2600-esque atari game level

>Hotline Miami twin stick pixelshit level

>run & gun 8-bit pixelart level

>isometric shooter 16-bit pixelart level

>Doom/Wolfenstein 2d fps level

>RE low poly with pre rendered backgrounds tps level

>Ace of Spades type voxel fps with building level

>nufps hyper realistic slow shitty 3d gameplay with QTE glory kills level

>fast paced 3d arena shooter level

>asset flip pozzed battle royale level

>>16104935

Didn't Evoland do this to a certain degree?

>>16099240

Wesnoth managed to do pixelated sprites without being pretentious indieshit. Then again it's a foss game that started development in like 2003.

Mahvel 2!

I'll keep posting this article in every thread like this. "Pixel art" itself is a term created after the fact, like you're saying, back in the day that was just the best available for the devs. They had to be creative with those limitations to look good, we don't have that anymore so we get pixelshit.

>>16099276

That's why they were usually used for things like terrain. People think voxels have to instantly mean cubes but it can be more subtle than that.

I fear for the day when the nostalgia wave hits up against blocky 6th generation games. We're almost there already.

>>16105027

I'm not worried about it that much because 6th gen was the first time 3D graphics were advanced enough to actually clearly represent what they needed to, even if they were much more limited than what we have now. And people have terrible memories and think the graphics of old actually looked better than they did - I show people actual footage of N64 or PS1 games they haven't played in years and they're in disbelief that it actually looked like this. Hell people are like this even here, I remember seeing a Morrowind thread where people legit thought it's a 90s game because graphics couldn't be that bad in 2002.

>>16098975

it'd work for a gumball game, but I can't think of anything else

>>16098975

>pixel and voxel

>at the same time

why?

>>16098975

no because it's bloat

just like microsoft office or Boyhood (movie), you're doing too many things just for the sake of doing too many things

if you like changing grafix tech or artstyle, go to an arcade and create a gayman triathlon or pentathlon or some other combo challenge
