No seriously. Is it like games with serene atmosphere and early 3d renders aesthetics?

>>7422724
they don't know, they just think its purple grids scrolling on a black background with some soft electropop

>>7422724
I kind of attribute it more to a general 90's CGI aesthetic

>>7423003
>>7423007
not really

>>7422724
I'd say that's a pretty solid baseline: serene atmosphere, early 3D renders, and flat-shaded polygons. Having music that feels similar to vaporwave helps too.

Kaze no Notam's a good example of game that gives off the vapor-vibe for me. https://youtu.be/yQN3ZgW8hLg

I'd also include the museum tour aspect of the Namco Museum collections on PS1.

Yeah, I like the Wipeout games, but that's more of late 90's/early 00's Y2K aesthetic for me rather than vaporwave.

>>7423039
isn't vaporwave a kind of pseudo-japanese aesthetic?

Not sure if this one fits, but the atmosphere is actually pretty chill and visuals are definitely taking clues from SGI-era 3d animations.

>>7423058
no?

>>7423003
>>7423007
that's y2k / designers republic aesthetic, much better than vaporwave imo. vaporwave is extremely played out and literally tranny

>and literally tranny
Just like Y2K.

>>7423212
Now that is very nice. perfect

>>7423239
Vaporwave was made by a tranny. How is Y2K tranny in any way

>>7423278
>Vaporwave was made by a tranny.
And the same goes to y2k. Just like every more or less modern art direction - gay, tranny, poc and so on and so forth.

>>7423315
I agree that modern art directions are tranny and poc, but y2k actually existed in the 90s and 00s. "vaporwave" is inherently a modern tranny invention

>>7423278
If you're talking about Macintosh Plus, you're wrong. Daniel Lopatin with his eccojams project predates MP by years and he's recognized as the originator of vaporwave

>>7423315
its amazing how fucking dumb you kids are, just 100% broken brains fed by memes and discord
>>7423425
>ignoring james ferraro

a lot of these designs are 70s inspired when the computer revolution took off. so you can go back that far, and realize that 90s stuff was like Future-Retro.

>>7423425
>>7423434
music wise, eccojams and farside virtual do predate floral shoppe, but 95% of the popularity and general aesthetic (pink, grids, japanese T E X T, etc.), came from that album

>>7423498
Popularity =/= invention

Mods plz delete this thread. Vapor isn't retro.

I don't hate the concept of vaporwave, but the community is one of the most retarded and brain dead I have ever seen.
that being said, I think space harrier, alpha wave, I, robot and tempest 2000 qualify

>>7423405
The irony

>>7423315
Is there ANYTHING that people on this board don't hate for completely asinine reasons?

>>7423946
Hitler, I bet they don't hate Hitler, I mean how could you, he's such a cheeky scoundrel

>>7423946
Facism, Nazism, Conservatism, Racism. Your typical right-wing retard shit that overflows around 4chan

obligatory

>>7423946
I don't hate those things, I just pointed out a pretty noticeable influence of minorities in 80s and 90s aesthetics revival.

>>7424096
ew gross, minorities

Also Kaze No Notam

>>7423425
He doesn't care, he's just trying to tell everyone he's obsessed with trannies and project his insecurities

>>7423278
>a gay's view at a futuristic world: the aesthetic
>>How is Y2K tranny in any way
Bro this is a retarded sub-topic to even talk about but that's dumb enough to warrant a reaction. God damn how can you be so blind to one but not the other.

Hover and then stuff like The Journey Man Project or Myst.

>>7422428
Why is this game here? Did you misread it as Vaporware?

>>7424970
Yes, Myst is definitely got THE FEEL

>>7421790
I always thought the megami tensei game by telenet (pc88) had this type of aesthetic, mainly because of the pastel color palette

>>7421790
10/10 game

>this thread

>>7423212
You can tell it's real because it was posted in 2009

>>7422726
thats synthwave. vaporwave is slowed down R&B songs from the 90s played so low that everybody sounds like a broken record about to die. also, greek statues, windows 95, japanese pepsi commercials and tropical aesthetics; in both real life and low res polygons.

>>7423212
i guess the curse of wanting to play a real "vaporwave game" is that they are shit?

>Retarded and brain dead
Why? Legit question, I don't know since even though I love the genre, I just download the albums, art, and games.

>>7422310
This. Floppy wave

>>7423007
>>7423003
Based retard

>>7431052
Because of people like >>7428786

This is the most correct answer, even if there isn't a whole lot of depth to it.

>>7431313
this game made me feel uneasy as a kid

>>7431052
because its just retarded kids and manchildren who ignore the actually creative/inventive/good projects and just circlejerk the same couple of lazily slowed down songs, le A S S T H E T I C T E X T X D D D, windows95 arizona statues and checkerboard shit
"ugh, this makes me feel nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even alive... buy my merch btw"

>that bad ending
My 5 yo mind didn't know what the fuck was going on, weird mix of funny and unsettling
