So, we did have this thread earlier and this one too and well, we have a boom of indie games trying to recapture the feeling from SNES, Megadrive and NES days but as I can see we didn't have the same thing for PS1 and N64 nostalgia.
At this point I believe my generation grew old enough to be indie game devs and trying to release games on the market but I just don't see the works reflecting the games from that era.
And it's not like the fifth gen was something unimportant from video games history, hell, I would say it is the most important one ever. PS1 imo is the most important console together with NES and the first one to break the 100mi mark in hardware sales, we had Squaresoft on the golden days, Final Fantasy VII was immense and really influential, japanese publishers like Konami, Capcom and others were on fire, we had Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Crash... Well, many many games, many success stories and cult classics. Hell, Nintendo 64 had Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, two of the most important games of all time (some people will tell you that Ocarina is the best game ever, it isn't that rare to see people saying it).
So the importance and popularity of the mid to late 90s is there and we don't have that kind of games because is harder to do it with small teams or am I just wrong about the subject?
Although some 2D games look really hard to do and people still make it anyway, like Cuphead per example.
Anyway, I'm really nostalgic with PS1 games and would love to see more love and more games with low poly aesthetics but they didn't seem to get some kind of spotlight. It would feel really good too, some PS1/N64 games ran with really slow framerates (like Ocarina of Time, 20fps) and today we would get 60fps in those kind of games without much problem on modern hardware.
Also, tell me about low poly indie games that I maybe let slide.
