dang

I wish the SK pack would've had one or two (breakable) male costumes. That pack did have some pretty good outfits.

The environmental art direction is indeed outstanding, like an 80s Ghibli movie. The game is from the Senran Kagura makers, right? Too bad... :/

I really like the moisture effects and the way blurring looks in cutscenes in DA:I, looks more realistic than a lot of other games I've seen.

The effects really do look great. And your character is a dwarf? He looks like pretty normal aside from his....lack of height. :p And thats a cool feature to be able to romance whomever you want.

It was hard but I managed to make his face look good. You can't romance everybody, I think there are only two gay romance options. Iron Bull who's bi and Dorian who's gay. Game has some decent lgbt representation, there's a number of lesbian/gay/bi main and side characters and even a trans character that's treated seriously, not as a joke.

That's good to hear:) The LGBT community definitely deserves better representation. I kind of want the game now, because I like good graphics and I wouldn't mind making a dwarf of my own. At least until SC gives the dwarf option.

Kyo Kusanagi then:

...and now:

Didn't even realize that was supposed to be Kyo because of the black jpop hair instead of his usual brown boyish cut.

The Zelda with the imho best art direction get's an HD port to the WiiU. :D


Image quality and textures are significantly improved. I wished I could play it again...but I was avoiding a WiiU so far like the plaque... I might get weak for the new Zelda WIIU though, which might also look amazing. A perfect mix of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.

Today we got a glimpse of a super short new teaser:

At the end of this video in super bad quality unfortunately. :/

I wish I could get hands on of some info about the polygon count of the Batman model including the cape. :/ Must be one of the most detailed character models ever in gaming.

I love good cloth and hair physics so much, especially if it doesn't clip an it moves just right. Sometimes in games that include customization, I just move the character model around just to see how majestic everything moves. XD

Haha, me too! ;) Batman's cape has close to zero clipping. At least you don't notice anything in the game. Only in a few cases, when you freeze the frame to take a photo and observe it very closely. It also flows perfectly as if it is made of 10s of thousands of polygons...which it probably is. ;)

Do you guys remember how this dress moved back then in DOA4?

So fluidly and wavy and as divine as the design. DOA5's version doesn't even come close. :/
