Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

Is that "lord of the Rave War" byline from the real advert?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Apparently that was going to be the name it released under instead of Tekken! "Rave War"

TIL

Yup. Rave War is also referenced in their other arcade hit of the times - Ridge Racer. A later sequel to the driving game would be Rave Racer.

Namco loved electronic music it seemed.

never once in my life did playing these stupid arcade games launch me into interstellar adventures
