"the more i look at that sudeki picture the more i feel embarassed for everyone involved.

This includes the xbots, microsoft, and anyone who was ever a part of the making. Not only are hte designs themselves bad but the guy who modeled them probably wouldnt be able to pass a high school figure drawing class."

:lol I'm sure he won't be able to sleep tonight knowing you don't approve.


I'm sad for you.

My God guys, what are you expecting from a game like this one that ISN'T A TRUE NEXT GEN GAME. This game is "upgraded present gen game". And mind you, most of the first 360 games will be "upgraded present gen game".

Being an "upgraded present gen game" didnt stop Starfox Adventures from being one of the prettiest games this gen.

... damn this game's art-direction just has Euro-Trash-"We donno' what the fuck we're doin" written all over it....

Fan-art bad .... man...

oh well.. should be fun enough, but some developers should question their tastes relative to their audience.

You have to wonder, if a western developer wants to make an 'eastern' looking game...why don't they just hire some Japanese modelers/artists to do the designs/models/textures?

Duh, money!

Also, I don't think the art style is too eastern, it seems decidedly mixed because it takes aspects from both west and east. It's still a thoroughly unpleasing style, but it's not near as painful an effort as the aforementioned Sudeki.

I love the environments... but everything is looking uglier and uglier as I sober up to next-gen. This game will age terribly.

Man, I thought Kameo was a pretty good game when I played the Xbox demo last summer. Damn, though, that one plant shot looks like it came straight from the Xbox version (Or did it?). Either way, Rare needs to get their act together.
 
No one complained about the stupid looking plant things in Ocarina of Time...what gives? Oh right, it's a Nintendo game so nothing about any of their games could possibly be bad. Ever. But one crappy enemy design is worth 3893093 posters having a whinge about it...right.

So very touchy.

The plant things in Zelda looked right within the context of the game. Tingle was shit. I would argue that the character designs in Kameo don't seem to gel with the rest of the game (that has been seen thus far).

Frankly, I would agree that the plant character looks like shit, as does the art style in general. My guess is, multiple cooks have been involved in it since inception and the original spirit got diluted or confused along the way.

That post was dumb for several more reasons, but forget it.

by rare's standards the character design is pretty good actually.

where's that pic where it has a pair of eyes + an inanimate object = new character?

First of all, that's not an enemy design, you play as that.. thing.

Second of all;

You're right though, they're practically the same thing.

I was impressed by the first couple of shots then the further I went down it all just looked like a jumbled mixed bag of half/decent graphics with lacking art design. I actually liked those green enemies in this picture because it reminded me of what a Next Gen Zelda with TP quality art would look like.

EDIT: Wait a minute I just noticed those mountains in the background are 2D bitmaps. How 1993 Doom tacky.

Uhhhh... that's an Xbox game.
Kingdom Under Fire I think.
 
Also, you do know that the game isn't close to being released yet, right?

These pics show a really wierd mixture/lack of effects.

Like here:

Shouldn't they be using parallax mapping on these stones so they don't look completely flat?

And here:

Isn't there a better way of doing grass than this?

At the very least they shouldn't be releasing pictures that make the flaws so obvious.
