Stylized or Realistic Looking Games?

There are two ways of going about this.

Realistic looking vs Stylized.

From a logical standpoint i'd say if you're going for something realistic then it needs to present itself in a more solid and fashionable tone. Take a racer for example, need for speed or project cars both hit the nail on the head. It gives you a rush because it looks real(ish), you associate yourself in that car and in some cases you get a rush from a game because you think it's real, you forget about the outside world if you want to go to the extreme.

Stylized racers go for a more casual laid back experience, you play to kill time essentially.

I prefer arcade games stylized or semi-realistic and more realistic games to be more realistic

i for one like both. though i do have a sweet spot for games that have cell shading + a softer colour palette. idk

I'd just like to offer a game you probably already know but is a good example I find, Drift Stage is a racing game in that it's kind of Playstation One-esque with a low looking poly count but pretty high resolution pixel-y textures which I think is a really cool style to go for.

Love both

[Electrk.]

can you add options for "both" and "depends on the game"

I like the Team Fortress 2 approach. Stylized, but also designed to at least look like it works.

If your game still "looks good" after 5 years, you've created a good aesthetic.
