The Downside of Cel-shading

Those screenshots looked like they were taken from a Disney movie. :happy:

so what exactly is the downside of cel-shading? i think it looks awesome

nah, it looks freak'n awesome i think it was made through maya too! come on now!

It does look a bit like a Disney movie, but it's actually 3D and that's just the beauty of it!

me i don't like the new design oh and jevil... that character in your sig where is it from?? but uh if the game play is good then bah who cares.. also that matrix games loooks nice!

Cel-Shading is the biggest pile of shit the video game industry has ever seen!

Nintendo Guy 1: "Wow, consoles are so powerful these days, the possibilities are endless! We can have almost photo realistic graphics"
Nintendo Guy 2: "Yeah. Hey, want to make Zelda look like a cartoon?"
Nintendo Guy 1: "What a great idea! I mean, we could make Zelda the shittest game ever, AND THE FANBOYS WOULD STILL SAY IT'S GREAT AND GO BUY IT!"

<_<

I disagree, personally, I think that the graphics looks awsome and the catoonish look is good for an interesting change.

or you could be from Capcom

Capcom Guy 1: "Hey we can do almost photo realistic graphics now."
Capcom Guy 2: "Yeah. Hey lets make the game look great but play like the dog dinner after it's been eaten, oh and online too."
Capcom Guy 1: "Wow great idea, we could make the shitest game ever, and REmake it for future consoles and because the fanboys are so fucking stupid they'll keep on buying it."

or if you're Konami:

Konami Guy 1: "Damm fanboys bitching about MGS2. Haven't they heard of philosophy, ethics or a bad sequel is putting the same shit out again only there's more of it?"
Konami Guy 2: "Hey why don't we redo the game to suck more of those idiots money."
Konami Guy 1: "Yeah great idea. We need to give it some stupid sub-title though, how does "Substance" sound?


/me is going to do more of these

coming from the top of your head there?

/me checks the roster list

nope, doesn't look like you work for konami or Capcom :happy:

anyway, you completely forgot to address the issue if GC could even handle zelda with extremely high detail like you wanted...and who knows? Maybe its a setup, throw an ok looking one out and then slam it with an insanely good one next year, good for marketing but then again i don't work for these companies:happy:

I think that the celda idea was pure genius. To me it looks awesome, and fantastic in the sense of being "like or reminding one of a fantasy."

If they had tried to go photorealistic with Zelda (which they may still do later of course) it would have inevitably been getting compared to every other game out there on the market with awesome graphics but shitty or redundant gameplay. It could have been lost in the wash if it looked like every other game getting released. Since it is cel-shaded, it defies direct comparison to the graphics of other games, and even though a lot of people are upset about it, it will still cause the press to concentrate more on plot and gameplay when reviewing the game. I honestly believe that Zelda would not have gotten the 40/40 score over in Japan last week if it had the usual graphics. Look at Metroid Prime - Nintendo releases a masterpiece and hardly anyone blinks. Well, people blinked of course but immediately you got the inevitable comparisons to SplinterCell, Halo, and the ubiquitous PC FPS - totally different games when it comes to gamplay and style, but that didn't stop the ignorant.

I'm giving Zelda the same open-minded, unbiased chance to thrill me that the fans in Japan gave it ... 407,000 sold in two days.
