Valve's art director on Team Fortress 2 reckons games have a long way to go when it comes to art style.
"I think video games are at such infancy in terms of art style, actually developing it. We're dealing with 4000 years, really, of art and conceptual design," Moby Francke told Gamasutra.
"For it really not to be utilized, and for the industry to basically dwell in a certain type of genre, which has been around the 1980s up to present time -it's pretty much all they're embracing... Hopefully people will wake up someday."
Francke believes the reason unique art styles aren't seen too often in games is because of the high risks involved with producing a game. "But I think when you take high risks, sometimes the results will be much better. That's what we were lucky to achieve with Team Fortress 2."
When asked about GTA's art style, he said "It just seems like other games out there.”
This new indie D&D campaign setting brings Studio Ghibli and Zelda: Breath of the Wild aesthetics and worldbuilding to the tabletop RPG, and I'm already scheming hard as a DM
I've seen enough: Assassin's Creed Shadows will beat Black Flag as my favorite AC game as Ubisoft says it lets you "Naruto run" as the "fastest Assassin" it's ever made
