Edit: Video

Game looks better in motion than it used to

Since some people brought up black outlines being called cel-shading thing in the title:

I'm aware that it's not proper cel-shading, but the average person would just call it that, so I went with that since I couldn't think of another term to use at the moment.

All articles also refer to it as cel-shading, just like I thought they would.

 

[T.O.P]

What the fuck is going on with this game

 

[bryanee]

Bloody hell.

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh no.. it looks like horrible cut outs

 

[cackhyena]

My word.

 

[FHIZ]

I honestly can't figure out of this looks better or not.

 

[alterno69]

I see the Forza 5 crowds got a new job

 

[Netrunner2k2]

What the crap?

Delay, delay!

 

[CalamityPixel]

Looks pretty rough, especially the faces.

 

[antitrop]

Holy fuck does that look terrible.

They just took the old, realistic looking models and added cel-shading to them, which makes them look... weeeeeeeeird. They don't look like cartoons, like cel-shading is supposed to make them look.

Robomodo has no idea what they're doing.

 

[SephCast]

Lmao it's like they saw crackdown and were like, hmm let's add cel shading!

 

[Yoshichan]

They actually managed to make it worse. What the fuck?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

 

[Broken Joystick]

"I fucked up"

 

[bud]

why do they keep sabotaging their own game by releasing new screenshots?

 

[Lightning Count]

Still not enough to save this disaster of a game.

 

[BedBison]

Can't believe the PS2 is still getting support 15 years later, what a legacy.

 

[Hip Hop]

umm what.

Did they really just changed the aesthetics of the game? who does that loool


Look, hiding the graphics behind cel shading is not helping one bit.

 

[maquiladora]

That first pic.....omg

 

[E_Darkness]

They really shouldn't have called it THPS5.

 

[Seven4sses]

Looks good, but I hope they polish it up a bit. The blue hair on the girl in the 3rd pic looks pretty bad and the character models in general look like they're from the ps2 gen.

 

[James Scott]

Adding cel shading this late into development probably won't have great results.
I imagine they are doing this to hide the fact that it looks so bad.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

 

[Sou Da]

If we put cell-shading on it, we can write it off the poor graphics as stylized!

 

[Tenki]

When you thought it couldn't get worse...

 

[Danielsan]

Good lord this is a rough ass looking game.

 

[Barry Burton]

I see the Forza 5 crowds got a new job

.

 

[MrFixIt]

This game looks like total garbage.

Spoiler

Which is exactly what I was expecting it to be.

 

[Nibel]

It's like the Forza crowd found a way to enter the third dimension.

 

[ramoisdead]

Take 2 should really bring back Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

 

[Son Of D]

 

[Trago]

This looks strange.

 

[BiggNife]

It looks...a little better? I guess??????

This game comes out in like a month and a half which makes me wonder how they could make such a significant graphical change so close to release. Guessing it's gonna get delayed due to negative feedback.

 

[delSai]

Wow, this looks awful.

Take 2 should really bring back Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Yes they should.

 

[jelly]

Half way to being a Halo 5 Grunt.

Look at those fingers. You've got to stay within the lines, did your parents teach you nothing about colouring in.

 

[Leafhopper]

They somehow manged to make it look worse than it already did.

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[Acrylic7]

Hahaha
It looks even worse than before holy shit.

edit- Fuckin Magazine cutouts. They have to be doing this on purpose now.

 

[GitarooMan]

It's funny I was looking at the PS store and saw the preorder for this and I was like, "They can't be serious with these screenshots." Now I'm even more confused. I feel like the only plausible explanation is that the game has mobile roots but maybe not, who knows.

 

[Anustart]

This will be the dark souls of skating games.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Without trying to be funny, Tony Hawk 5 was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

 

[Zareka]

Oh man that first image is a thing of beauty.

"I fucked up"

Beat me to it.

 

[malfcn]

Interesting art style..

 

[Ōkami]

How did they manage to make this game look worse? lol

 

[Sou Da]

It looks...a little better? I guess??????

Ah, the RCT method.

 

[Bunta]

 

[bud]

"why am i still here... just to suffer?"

 

[Nokterian]

Jezus christ...

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I honestly can't figure out of this looks better or not.

No doubt better, but no doubt still average.

 

[Kysen]

PS2 remaster lol
