Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 9769, member: 6930"] I know that people love to meme about "liminal spaces" in Super Mario 64 but I noticed that 3D games from the beginning of that era often had that "eerie" feeling (especially in some levels like Surface 2 in Goldeneye, many PS1 games and less commonly Saturn since the games were often more colourful). I think it's because they're trying to be lifelike while still being technically limited so they often reach the [I]uncanny valley[/I] instead of showing proper environments and humans. With limitations you also have less crowded areas thus feeling emptier than expected (it's noticeable with Mario 64's castle where there are only a few Toads in it). I am guessing this is also why low poly horror games are quite popular recently, the brain often fills the empty space that the game cannot properly show. [/QUOTE]
