What is the name of the video game art style from the late 90s and early 2000s? I’m thinking of the cutscenes in Fallout 1 and 2, as well as the visuals in Chipper and Sons Lumber Co and Pilgrim’s Progress by Scott Cawthon.

The art style you’re referring to is often associated with a retro aesthetic that combines pixel art and early 3D graphics, typical of the late 90s and early 2000s video games. This style often features a colorful, whimsical, and sometimes cartoonish approach, using limited color palettes and simple shapes.
In the context of cutscenes, as seen in games like Fallout 1 and 2, it often showcases hand-drawn 2D animations or stylized graphics that create a distinct nostalgic feel. The term “low poly” is also applicable when talking about 3D models from that era, as they generally had fewer polygons compared to contemporary standards.
It’s worth noting that there are various names and descriptors within the gaming community, so some might refer to it as retro, pixel art, or even “Low-Fi” aesthetics. Overall, it captures a particular charm that many retro gaming enthusiasts appreciate!
