Whether it is deliberate or not is irrelevant

It's very relevant.  The intention and the success in evoking what the designers wish is all that is relevant.  What isn't relevant is what year these graphics could have been achieved.

What is from 2005 is this whole discussion.  Judging games on whether they meet some modern threshold of technical polish is an old argument that gamers have, thankfully, largely left in the dustbin of history.

Technology evolves, and people's standards evolve with it. If a high profile game came out today with N64 graphics, do you think it would be well received? People are well within their rights to hold games to a technological standard. If not, why aren't well all still playing games in Atari 2600 graphics?
