Man I wish Capcom would relicense these games and bundle them together in one comprehensive package( with a physical option).
We will ever have 2D games look as good as on the Saturn?

On top of many titles mentioned like Cuphead , Death Gambit , Dead Cell , Bushinden , Blasphemous ...
I just saw Gris on Steam sales main page today . It made this thread a laughing stock
Admittedly that does look pretty good lol
Gris' audio and visuals are some of the nicest this gen. Gameplay wise its very thin on the ground though, very simple platforming and puzzles. Its a nice ride while it lasts, but I just wish it could have had more in the gameplay department. But that's a complaint for a different thread, since this one is just about visuals! Cuphead either way is still my pick, it looks amazing in both graphical style and animation, and the only complaint I can level against that game is when playing it in black and white, its hard for me to tell between pink and normal bullets.
We already do, you just aren't looking hard enough. Just like how Saturn was pretty niche here there's tons of modern 2D games that look fantastic that go under most people's radar because they aren't the latest blockbuster game.
They've released a few mods that restores the models, textures, and lighting. It's pretty great, and it retains the widescreen and 60fps. You can toggle certain things like menus and music to be more or less like the DC version too.
Whats the middle one?I do generally prefer the aesthetics of the 16 and 32 bit eras, but I don't necessarily agree with you, there are so many cool looking 2D games today it's hard to keep count. From pixel art to hand drawn to sprites on 3D planes, indies got'em all.
I would buy a sega Saturn mini in a heartbeat if it's released with all those games. I feel that there's this void in my gaming history with the Saturn and the Dreamcast, so many great games missing. I totally agree with what you are saying OP, even if many are not understanding the idea you are trying to convey.
Sega Saturn had a few impressive 2D games, but everyone took ideas from NES, SNES and Sega genesis and created amazing 2D inspired games. There's nothing much from that era, to where id say "This game remind me of Sega Saturn 2D games"
I understand what you're saying, OP. A lot of these new games don't at all have the same look feel or style to their graphics and some that people posted don't even use sprites...I don't really get what a lot of people are saying here. GRIS looks great for example but is totally another category of 2d art.
Edit: Gunlord X looks amazing though and exactly what I wanted to find from this thread

Dragon Force is the perfect game of this style. Who owns the ip? Please re release it whoever they are :/
Yes i know, i helped with that mod. It doesnt restore everything, and as i explained above, there are things that are impossible to restore because the dreamcast is unique hardware.
Like what? It's interesting.
I kind of wish they'd do a DC mod for SA2B. I can get bits and pieces, but it often crashes and some of the specularity is missing on enemies.

Per pixel transparency, for one. Its not just per pixel, its also order independent transparency. As in, not only are transparent textures handled out of order, but individual pixels on a texture. Impossible for modern hardware to handle.
