I was having a look through the playlists that Stio posted and watched the one called 'Yellow Box Junction', most of which shows the flow of traffic from a plan view....the way the cars are drawn and the use of colour and shading...it instantly reminded me of something else....
....this.
....Grand Theft Auto. The hugely popular video game from 1997. The style is very much alike....possibly a source of inspiration when they were designing the game?
It's hard to believe that in just 10 years the style has changed so much, the latest game in the series, Grand Theft Auto 4, came out in 2008....and just look at how realistic and amazing the graphics are.
And yet....despite these amazing and impressive graphics, I actually rank it lower than the original game overall. And it is things like this which continually make me question 'What makes a good game?'.
...clearly not graphics.
