Videogame food

[ThirteeTooBeets]

I'm bored and a bit hungry, so let's talk about videogame food we want to eat.

I think in recent years there's been a push to make consumable food in games look very appetizing, you eat with your eyes first as some say, just looking at it makes you feel good and immersed.
I think it's fun how even some more abstract or pixelated game foods serve the same sensorial satisfaction to put it some way.
I don't know if realistic is the proper term, sure it LOOKS like it could be real, but the way the artists and programmers controlled how the models look to make them almost impossibly good looking, it's an interesting observation at least to me.

Anyways, here's some personal favorite examples:

Any food choice from Unicorn Overlord

The Monster Hunter World full course

Almost every food from FFXV

And some more cartoony examples:

The Menu from Cuisineer

And the stages from Kirby's Dream Buffet

After reading topic title I immediately thought of Vanillaware, but you've already posted it :D

Also thought of Vanillaware. They go way too hard in their food art.

This topic could be all Vanillaware food only but that'd be cheating

Probably cheating since it's an FMV of real meat, but Dragon's Dogma 2.

As someone who were born on Southeast Asia.

I'm a sucker for both Spices and Good Seafood and any Meat combo, hence my choices for this would be:

Lethe's Special Dinner - Harvestella

Also to accompany that i probably gonna use either:

Shatolla's The Season - Harvestella

Or

Shatolla's Bitter Cafe Mocha - Harvestella

I've always wanted whatever the hell Castlevania meat is

Slowpoke's Tail looked kinda juice, I always through that it would taste like squid.

Don't do this to me, I still have a whole night of work ahead and I'm already hungry but don't want to eat my sandwich yet

Whatever it is probably attracts Medusa Heads, so I want no part of it.

 

[ireallylikemetalgear]

probably stardew valley or snake eater

 

[χKai]

Wanna eat here so I can tell them I've had better dog food.

I would probably try the Korean BBQ plate.

The calorie mates from Snake Eater sound tasty. I know they exist IRL but I still have yet to try them out.

One of the my fav things about Japanese games, their attention to food and dining.

Like it was the best part of FF15

[Evaccaneer Doom]

I wanna eat the low poly meat from monster hunter so fucking bad

The eating animations in the Creature stage of spores tickles my brain a way where I’ve always wanted to know what it’s like to eat the fruit and meat, the way they animate it and add effects makes everything they eat look so juicy

There’s just sometime about low poly food that makes it so appealing to me.

 

[The Repo-man]

Ngl food in animes and in games ALWAYS look great to me lol!

First time I played Final Fantasy XV I was freaking out about the quality of the food (and it was 2023). I had to look closer for a few seconds to understand it was 3D instead of a real picture. Place an Ignis in your life :)

I've had his ''I've come up with a new recipe!" as my phone notification sound for a few years there
