Will the generation growing up on modern games have any nostalgic aesthetic?

With digital circus coming out recently I realised the 2000s game aesthetic can actually be kinda cool and endearing

It feels like games nowdays are kinda soulless and generic though, glossy and modern (Obviously except for indie games)

Will the 2020s aesthetic be microtransactions and lootboxes?

Decoy321,

My dude, video games started in the 60s. People have been saying the same thing ever since. This phenomena is more about the nature of nostalgia more than it is about any specific subject.

atlasraven31,

Yup, people will be nostalgic for LMFAO’s Party Rock music video, JJ Abrams’ Star Trek, and autotuned music. Just like I’m nostalgic for MTV’s Daria and Star Trek DS9.

UlyssesT,

There’s some good recent games that stand out entirely on their own that are not Cawadoody trash or gacha trash or liiiiiiiiiiiiiive services trash.

It’s a golden age for indy titles.

I mean, I’m pretty sure some will be nostalgic for Undertale/Deltarune. And maybe Disco Elysium. kitsuralsei

Cashmere,

We are spoiled with good games if you know where to look. We had less possibilities back then. So yeah, they will be nostalgic of the great games coming out recently !

lmaydev,

In my experience nostalgia is about the memories around the item as much as the item itself.

When I think about the SNES I think about playing it with my older brother more than specific games.

But also the same with games. I remember mario fondly not because the graphics were great but my brother helping me with tricky levels and showing me tricks to get past bits.
