If you want to see some pretentious shit that is nothing more than shorthand for "I'm so indie", go to (((Twitter))) and search #lowpoly. I swear, this is the new version of pixel art that was so popular in the late 00s and early 2010s where you knew that a game was indie by its often poorly realized version of low-bit pixel art. Now it's cool to make your game look like it's being rendered on a Nintendo DS and make your models and textures look like they're from Dementium The Ward. A lot of the examples you'll see don't even have low poly counts, it's just a term that people use, again, as short hand for "I'm indie" without actually think about what poly counts are, or size context where even if something is low poly, it's zoomed out so far that it doesn't matter because you can't tell

By the way, I am not trying to be especially critical of the user who's picture I posted in the OP, I actually like how they use the aesthetic, it's more about how people latch onto bandwagons just to be trendy, while churning out usually uninspired content. All of these pictures use that tag, while either not actually being low poly, or using it in a way where it doesn't matter and you wouldn't be able to tell at a glance what the poly count is without zooming in really close to the assets

If I had to guess, that is an asset that will be available for people to buy. It might end up in a first person game where it's going to be really close to the camera and the magazine will be visible when reloading. That's zoomed out way too far to tell if the count is excessive or not

Having an open world that's fully accessible from the start of the game, but It's only really viable to follow a linear progression. Basically the design of Witcher 3 where they designed the game like a single player MMO with dumb layers of red tape around things. Don't even get me started on the mini map with millions icons and arrows pointing everywhere, or the god awful fast travel.
Witcher 2 was a far superior game in my opinion, the act system is much better for adventure/RPG's. Nowadays everyone just wants to copy Skyrim to appeal to the casual console fag audience.

I find there are two major benefit to the "cartoony" artstyle on the consumer-end of things. One, it's usually much easier on performance than photorealism, and two, it prevents or covers over a great deal of flaws. For example look at Overwatch. Even a soulless, talentless company like Activision can make decently attractive female characters in that artstyle. Meanwhile when companies go for photorealism even Japanese companies can't help but make the characters butt ugly most of the time, a good example there is the RE2 remake. Performance can still be ruined by incompetence, but it shouldn't have as much detail to render.

This is one area where Nintendo knows what the fuck they're doing at least. Colors, especially.

Low Poly is great when there's effort put into it. PS1 and DS models especially show a lot of great creative uses of texture work in conveying detail in otherwise very simplistic models. The problem is that most indieshit make completely single-color triangles with next to no textures (just like their misunderstanding of Pixel art, of course) and yet use modern lighting because that's what Unity has as a default.

Low poly is always shit and 95-99% of ps1 and earlier era 3d games would have been better off in 2d. 2d art is always better, but sometimes 3d is necessary for gameplay reasons, but 3d gameplay in that era was also pretty half baked.

Might be a preference thing. I can see the appeal of pixel art but don't care for it much personally unless it's limited to some extent. I can certainly appreciate Kirby's Adventure and Battletoads on the NES, or great looking C64 games because of the heavy palette limitations and how much work it took to overcome that. But virtually unlimited stuff like Metal Slug looks bland and forgettable to me. And unless it makes itself stand out in some way like Yoshi's Island, the entire 16 bit era is mediocre in my mind as well. In the same way, well-made low-poly models look phenomenal due to how limited they were, and I don't care whatsoever about PS2-era and later 3D graphics (aside for Silent Hill 3, considering that game looks better than 99% of games coming out today).
As for the gameplay, considering 3D platformers are my favorite genre, I'll disagree with you there as well.

Probably the best way to do it, in my mind at least, would be a BotW-type openness with shrines giving you various unique weapons with unique attributes (perhaps elemental ones as well) based on how hard the shrine is. The game had a pretty good way of keeping you away from certain areas because they were just too damn hard at first, shrines needed the same thing. Find a shrine, can't beat it, come back later with better loot and get something better. Or if you can beat it because you're good enough, well here's a great early reward, have fun.
Essentially, make an open world game actually open, not just Twilight Princess with ten minutes of walking through an empty field from point A to point B, like every single open world game is nowadays.
there's plenty wrong with BotW but that's been discussed to death and really not worth bringing up again

Shame too, I love the idea of reviving ps1/dreamcast/n64 aesthetics without limitations for games but it's been hijacked by mouthbreathers with no appreciation for what makes the artstyle appealing. What a waste.
I always thought utilizing the purposefully simplistic low poly style to create a much bigger game than normally possible would be a more popular idea. I found games like Sonic Jam to have such a specific charm that is so underutilized in a proper context, maybe it's some kind of autism but god damn how has no one tried. I'm too ignorant of game creation to try currently unfortunately

Low poly and pixel art are not the problem.
The problem is the talentless fucks who have no cohesive aesthetic vision for their product, and who use the "it's old school so it's meant to look bad" excuse.
I can understand a one-man dev using very simple programmer art, but if you're making a commercial product with at least two people, one of them should be in charge of the fucking visual aspect of a video game to make sure it doesn't look like complete ass.

Not really, especially not nuCTR, whose devs were instructed to add as much shitty flair to the levels that the framerate would get to 30 fps so that all versions would get the same experience. These modern cartoony graphics don't improve stability at all, in fact the gigatextures and overly complex 3d models to simulate roundness make them almost unplayable.

It's not about limited palettes, it's because untalented faggots latch onto it as an artstyle. Sticking to a palette that SNES could render won't make the sprites better on its own, nor does rotating sprites or using "mixels" suddenly make them worse. You may argue that people who pay attention to these details are more likely to end up creating something good compared to someone who makes pixelshit because he saw his favorite e-celeb talk about Final Fantasy 6 once, but the key issue is that pixel art provides a ready, widely accepted, out of the box "artstyle" that requires bare minimum effort to produce, and is guaranteed to be solid gold by the simple virtue of being pixel art, all that you need is to post it on twatter under that hastag.

The worst part about mobile game aesthetics is that it's really the worst of every world. Old low poly games had detailed textures (for the time) that were carefully designed to compliment or offset the rough nature of the models. Modern high poly games frequently don't use as many polys as you may think, using normal mapping instead to enhance both the model and the texture. The simple style in those games is both overused and combines the worst aspects of both styles. It's higher poly than games from the turn of the century, but they usually overuse flat shading so there's nothing to enhance the visual flair. It's lower poly than your average AAA game, but like I mentioned the textures and shaders are simple and flat as hell so cheap tricks like outlines are frequently used to hide this, poorly.

Too many things on the screen that spoil a game, the big dilemma is how to fill a 1920 pixel screen without overloading everything or leaving any empty space.
Our high resolutions are the cause of these problems, see the Papu-Papu screenshot where the score occupies the full screen height (480px), if you try to put the same style on a FullHD screen you will have trouble detailing the characters' face a lot to fit in 1080px or will get very small squares, both ways will look weird and disgusting.
Same with the track solo, the PS1 version is clear and simple, having a greater contrast against the traps and power-ups, but how to make simple textures on a FullHD screen without looking like the game is badly finished and missing parts.
Look at this shit image, it will be disgusting when you put the same elements on a 4k screen and over detail them, it will be worse if you leave the empty spaces.
The little screen space is what make old games looks like games.

Temporal anti-aliasing. It might look good for pre-rendered graphics, but it makes anything rendered in real time a blurry mess. Then they add a sharpening filter to reduce the blur, but they've already lost the detail. All the big AAA games use this shit of course.

I did. It's as >>16751804 says. Shame Johnathan Blowjob had to continue down the pretentious route hardcore with The Witness and stray away from the puzzle aspect.
To actually give some credit to TW he did get a bit inventive with the puzzles and how they interact with the environment, particularly in the desert, but it's still boring at worst and tedious at best.
Perhaps the best way to sum up that game is the puzzle that accesses the secret ending. It's downright ingenious in the context of the game, but the ending itself is the absolute worst pretentious nonsense possible.
