The Art Style and Graphics Discussion

[Juihau]

... aren't Persona 5's menus amazingly stylish? *__*

I think I'm just gonna be direct and say that I really don't like these menus. I mean, they look cool...I think. I can't tell. There's just way too much going on at once, and I honestly am having a hard time looking at them. I guess the term for it would be 'sensory overload?' Regardless, it's like...I just can't process all this information hitting me at once, so I end up looking at it, knowing what I'm looking at, but still not being able to comprehend it. Quite frankly, I didn't even realize these were menus until I noticed you specifically address them as such.

Welcome to Persona! Styled to the max.

It's sometimes a little too over the top for my taste too, still I have to give props to the very skilled and daring design team of Atlus. Some of the new persona designs:

Here she is...

What do you guys think?

 

[werewolfgold]

Video is dead as it was an early leak. So, this one may not last either.

She's...okay. Her moveset looks moderately cool. And I suppose the underwear thing the pants have going on in the back make them slightly more interesting.

 

[The Enforcer]

I have no issue. The top & pants are a bit plain, but they are simple. I think SF in general has that simplicity going for it, so she's in line with SF character designs. Hair, armbands and everything else are sufficient enough for detail by my prefs.

Gameplay wise, sure seems to be a lot of flying arm bars.

There's a contest going in ACHHD for the sweetest house and for entering you get these two really ugly and impractical pieces of furniture but I wanted them so I entered something lol

I got two whole votes One of the pieces of furniture you get is that candy house on the right, I really can't imagine using it anywhere else. Two more exteriors I did-

Lets jump from a super cute game and art style to a dark and gritty one. Today I finally bought Batman: Arkham Knight. The graphics are absolutely stunning. I don't know what magic they did with this game. My jaw was dropping constantly to the floor. O: Thank god they integrated a photo mode, that still feels a little bit clunky though. I hardly edited anything in the photo mode, so the game does really look like that in-game:

I took the above one in the character model viewer. Rocksteady seem to be pretty proud of themselves regarding the models. They are incredibly detailed and polished. You won't really find any polygon edges or low resolution textures, even if you especially look for them. (Exactly what I always do. XD) Rocksteady claims just one character model has more polygons than an entire Arkham Asylum environment. I have no clue what that exactly means...but from my experience I would guess, they count about 150-200k. As a comparison Kasumi's black ninja suit in DOA5 has 60k, Final Fantasy XV models have about 100k polygons and Marius in Ryse about 150k.

When I took these pictures I didn't get the new Batsuit jet, which is a lot more detailed. So please bear with this DLC one...

The water looks amazing by the way as does the rain! So real and stormy. o__O

 

[Tyaren]

I finally got the new Batsuit, which is incredibly detailed and cool looking. He looks like a battle tank on two legs. The armour plates on his chest even move individually while he's moving.

The lighting in the clocktower is the best and most impressive for taking pictures...

I'm surprised it took 17 pages for one of you to show up and say something like this

Thats because you can only be so ignorant when it comes to gaming outside of consoles that cant do what a PC can do.

 

[Jadeinchains]

Well it is true, PC does excel at many things for example having terrible ports. PC beats everything at that.

Seriously though I think everyone is aware by now without being constantly reminded by pc gamers that pc's are more powerful.

Thats on the developers not the people who own the pc themselves.

I usually have my mind on other things, so making this the bottom of the todo list.

Finally the recognition I deserve!

If I'm a "smartass" or not (I am) It's pretty much daily that I see pc gamers saying how amazing gaming on pc is (which it is) but It honestly gets so tiring seeing it all the time. Either way what ever this is
" the art style and graphics discussion thread " so it really isn't on topic.

It is crazy the amount of detail they are putting into that game with muscles constricting with movement and the stew moving around in the bowl.

We are PC.

Lol okay I get it.
