Uncanny Valley: Difference between revisions

This also happens in video games, especially western ones, because the audience in the western world tends to demand photorealistic graphics for their games, while scorning many of the stylized games of the east, which still do use sprite-based games, although there are some eastern 3D games that enter the valley with too detailed graphics as well. (You'll be ''very'' hard-pressed to find a western studio that's ''not'' Indie or developing for handheld systems that still uses sprites. They're even rarer than studios that use stylized graphics, although some do get a free pass, like Valve and ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]''.) But this is also extremely indicative of a huge generation gap, where 2D was the ONLY type of video game for two decades, and video games only went from niche to mainstream after 3D was implemented and became a standard, for a multitude of reasons. So sometimes you will get people who have been playing video games for decades missing 2D graphics, the [[Nostalgia Filter]] in effect, or thinking [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|a series that started in 2D graphics feels very wrong to them when switching to 3D graphics]], creating a total Uncanny Valley.
