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 @saucechan@ani.social 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.

Oh man, I love this game! I wish it's not a PS exclusive.

I wish the online services weren't shut down, locking content away forever in GR2.

Sony did this franchise dirty.

Still waiting for PC port...

Oh God yes... It feels unlikely though. GR never got the mainline treatment of other sony titles. They just don't treat the franchise with the same respect as they do their others. Like WipEout... RIP Studio Liverpool.

Dammit, Sony...

Sony seems to want to forget these games exist for some reason so don't expect a PC port. (Pain.)

man this game always had such a cool vibe to it.

The day I realized the composer for these games was the same man behind the music in One Piece, was the day it clicked for me why these games had such a unique, yet familiar, vibe.

Those opening piano notes in "Discovery of Gravitation" still make me tear up.
