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.

I’m amazed this game didn’t spawn more imitators

Looking forward to their new Judas game.

Is it really the same people making the game if everyone outside of upper management got fired 10 years ago? Looking it up, it was not even because they had made an unsuccessful game, it was just because the CEO decided that managing a big team is hard (but did not want to quit and let someone else take over).

Bioshock's formula is actually kinda hard to replicate, I think. Lots of games did borrow from it, but nothing really attempted replicating the whole vibe.

The one on the right looks like he’s about to do the robot dance.

And the one in the middle looks like he’s about to be propelled back by Vogon machinegun.
