If you're game looks something like Donkey Kong Country on the SNES however, where it's not actually clean individual pixels but more of a blended and rendered type of look, then it absolutely matters what resolution you run the game at, what scaling you do and what size of screen you run it on imo because the larger your screen gets and the lower the resolution, the more that's just going to look blurry and sh*t. Filters for example often slightly ruin the look of these games. Games like the original Super Mario Bros or say Yoshi's Island will always look stunning as long as you're not scaling or blending the pixels in such a way that it actually conflicts with those type of simple, clean, pixel based graphics in the first place. I don’t think that question has ever been a point of interest for anybody on 2D games, really.Īs long as you're using actual clean pixels with solid colours, the engine isn't blending between colours and that if you're scaling the game you're ideally doing so by some factor of two, so the pixels don't get stretched or distorted from their natural state, then it makes no difference what resolution you're running a typical 2D pixel based game at. But in 2D games, it’s just the resolution you draw your sprite at. Resolution actually matters in that case. It’s always more of a question of 3D games. It is pixel style, so why would we make it 1080p? I don’t think anybody actually cares about this with 2D games. It’s low resolution, and very intentionally so. Speaking to Gaming Bolt, Preston stated quite clearly that for his title, 1080p was never on the cards: However, Hyper Light Drifter creator Alex Preston maintains that when it comes to 2D games, resolution simply doesn't matter. With certain cross-platform titles running at a higher resolution on one machine than the other, the topic is constantly being used as a weapon to assert the superiority of hardware. Wii U owners might not be quite so concerned with the subject of what resolution their games are running in, but for Xbox One and PS4 fans it's an ongoing concern.
