that's not 8 bit it's not even 16 bit
[QUOTE=Untouch;45387792]that's not 8 bit it's not even 16 bit[/QUOTE] It's ~8-bit~
Laziness-corrupted nostalgia-bit
Didn't Gotze score with his right foot? Also, these are incredibly stiff.
Apparently pixel art is 8-bit art now.
[QUOTE=Untouch;45387792]that's not 8 bit it's not even 16 bit[/QUOTE] It's the indie game version of 8-bit.
8 bit is "art"
Slow news day BBC?
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;45388237]It's the indie game version of 8-bit.[/QUOTE]It's not even purely pixel art.
Ok, this is definitely one of those articles that I can safely ask: How is this classified as news? Who reports something so small as someone drawing pixel art? It's not new or anything.
[QUOTE=Warship;45388160]Apparently pixel art is 8-bit art now.[/QUOTE] Anything pixel-centric is dubbed 8-bit it's awful but also perhaps it's equally lame to get so distraught over it I guess
the art is lazily done anyway
people need to remember [B]8 bit and 16 bit were not ART STYLES[/B] they were [B]technological limitations[/B] in games, NES games all have their own unique art-style, however but that doesn't make 8 bit itself an "Art style", far from it, even if it does well in certain games.
They kinda look like pixelated children's drawings.
Of course 8 bit is a style. Just like modern movies done in B&W is a style choice that once was a limitation. It does not define the art style entirely but it is a huge part of a style.
[quote] "8-bit" style[/quote] guys actually [B]read[/B] the article before shitting on it the first line says it's in the style of 8-bit for fucks sake
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;45389557]guys actually [B]read[/B] the article before shitting on it the first line says it's in the style of 8-bit for fucks sake[/QUOTE] But it does not look 8bit. There's anti-aliasing and everything. That's not how 8bit works
[QUOTE=itisjuly;45389579]But it does not look 8bit. There's anti-aliasing and everything. That's not how 8bit works[/QUOTE] And? It says 8bit style. To anyone the BBC is writing the article for, 8bit style basically means pixel art
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;45389622]And? It says 8bit style. To anyone the BBC is writing the article for, 8bit style basically means pixel art[/QUOTE]That does not make it okay
[QUOTE=itisjuly;45389663]That does not make it okay[/QUOTE] if the majority of people think that '8bit style' means pixel art, I'm afraid that's what the word comes to mean
If they were going to report about pixel art they could have at least reported about GOOD pixel art.
It isn't even good looking pixel art, what a joke.

jesus get over the 8-bit thing

B&W is not tied to other limitations in same way pixel art isn't compared to 8-bit art. What they are showing is pixel art but not 8bit kind. Same way a movie using black and white filter is just that unless they're calling it retro classic or some shit.
