i'd love to see this feature back, it would be great for trying to make ps1/n64 style animations

Is this gonna be some sort of plugin?

you can actually do some sort of per-vertex lighting in geometry nodes, by calculating the lights inside there, and then setting it to an output parameter, then you just connect the surface output of the shader to that output attrbiute

this is not real time lighting.

Thing is, as far as I understand the matter: it would require to write and support through time a different engine in GLSL. That's quite unlikely to happen, at least from the BF.
Alternatively, just use Blender Internal Engine from versions prior 2.8.

Now there probably are solutions to try and mimic that shading result using shader node spaghetti powers or OSL shaders, but I haven't seen anyone sharing that publicly yet.

Why? It looks much worse a lot of the time.

thats the point.
