The Art Style and Graphics Discussion

[KasumiLover]

Hey, great work actually! Some of these costumes/models are modelled and textured quite nicely. I don't get why others still look they are from a PS3 Tekken. :/
One thing I wished Tekken wouldn't do though is make everythink look so bulky on the characters. Similar to how bulky the destroyable DOA5LR costumes often look. I guess that is because they are actually layering the costumes on top of the character models and there has to be some space between body and clothes to not clip through?

That and some cloth actually moves in the stomach area to represent empty space in it which I find really detailed and realistic, it's like when sleeves and pants rustled in the breeze in DOA4. I only have a couple more characters to go and I'm trying to stay sane since it's basically get thumbnail screenshots, record and then upload and then repeat...

And I have to redo Alisa and Asuka before I finish since I accidentally deleted their clips >.>

Well, let's put the KH 3 trailer here too.

KH's graphics never really caught my attention, since most games are in handheld consoles, but I've to say I really like how this game now looks. The environments and especially magic effects look really cool, which I think were luckluster in the past games (minus the BBS 0.2 chapter), though apperantly there's some people "complaining" about certain aspects.
-The chacters have an excessive plastic/clay look.
-It somehow looks weird [?] when Disney characters appear on the same screen as the KH original characters.

Personally I have no problems with those things and I didn't even notice them, maybe there something I feel is a bit off about the faces (expressions), but that's it.

Also, found this comparison with the 2015 trailer :

Uh oh... Scorpio to (very likely) cost 500$/€.

If Sony drops the price of the PS4 Pro to 350$ in the near future, I don't see how Microsoft can compete cost-benefit ratio-wise.

Is the kingdom hearts game any fun? I played the 3ds dream drop distance demo and enjoyed it but idk if it still has that same style or not, like did anything change? I definitely like the newer solid look it has

 

[Tyaren]

I don't like that I still see easily noticable polygon edges on the KHIII characters. :/

really fun. get the HD collection on PS4 (1.5 and 2.5) then the 2.8 after you beat all those games.

I don't like that I still see easily noticable polygon edges on the KHIII characters. :/

to be fair they are also very simplified designs with intentionally hard edges

You don't even know what I am talking about.
Polygon edges on his chin here...

...or the sleeves of the coat not being round are not intentional, and stylistic decisions:

That's just low polygon modelling.
I wasn't referring to Sora's spiky hair. XD

 

[KasumiLover]

The look kinda reminds me of the dragon quest heroes games I have on ps4 actually

I forgot about the faces, but that's from the 2015 trailer. I don't know almost anything about modeling and stuff but maybe it's possible they polished them [?] as it wasn't that noticable in the new trailer (though there wasn't a close up like that), but yeah the sleeve of the coat was quite noticeble, didn't even need to watch it twice to notice it xD

Microsoft's E3 press conference is going to start in just about 10 minutes:

I feel like they are going to step up their game this year to finally match Sony, which beat them very clearly every E3 in the last couple of years.
We will definitely see Xbox Scorpio and I really hope we will be getting a first glimpse of Assassins Creed Origins, which will be going full on RPG in a huge ancient Egyptian open world. Leaks of the game said it already ran beautifully on Xbox Scorpio.

 

[Jadeinchains]

By the way Microsoft's E3 conference starts in 10 minutes for anyone that's interested!

Omg lol ninja'd at the last second! XD

Spoiler

But now lets get ready and back to topic: Beautiful games! I hope they show lotsa beautiful games.

But yeah. Back on topic. I mean then could literally show nothing and it would be better than EA's so they aren't going up against much competition but still I have faith in them bringing it tonight!

 

[KasumiLover]

There's an Xbox one X???

They can be, however with the recent sequels and prequels of housing incredible plot holes and story telling, you'll have to play the recent ones to grasp the entirety of it. If you are just now getting into it, I suggest watching the older ones on Youtube to catch up. It can get heavily boring but that can vary.

If I had to add something to it, Final Fantasy characters are in it.

 

[Tyaren]

XBox One X... interesting...

 

[Jadeinchains]

There conference managed to be better than EA's entire one in it's first 5 minutes! Microsoft have already really brought it this year.

 

[DestructionBomb]

By the way, it seems the Xbox One X has the setting to be overclocked. Which means that it has potential to perform higher multitude of things and may even reduce loading times and eliminating other costs. It will probably be loud as shit but I'm sure the default will be just fine.

Forza is at raw 4K in 60fps.

EDIT:

ASSASSIN'S CREED BABY.

 

[Tyaren]

Metro Exodus (a game series, that I don't care for at all) wowed me visually much more than AC Origins. AC Origins looked nice...but not overwhelmingly cool, as I had expected. I don't know exactly why. :/

But Microsoft is really shitting on the old Xbox One (I feel bad for owners). Sony wasn't like that with the Pro, thankfully.

 

[DestructionBomb]

AC:O is a prequel to it all correct? Assassin's Creed is literally stuck in this silly paradox that didn't explain how it actually all happened from every single game. It was about time they fix that shit.

Also Battlegrounds looks like shit but that's just me.
