RPG Wars - The Thread

character design > graphics

 

[gregor7777]

and WKC Looks Like...

to be fair, they weren't going for photoreal - its an extension of the art style - more detailed cel shading type look they had in rogue galaxy. That image with the rainbow coloured hair has more to do with anime + cel shading (cartoony aesthetic) than photorealism

What on Earth are you talking about?

It's just a horrible shot. Take it for what it is. It's certainly has nothing to do with cel-shading.

 

[thuway]

There's nothing celshaded about WKC. It just looks like shit. Keep peddling the sinking Level5 ship though, it's funny.

Whoa whoa... I'm all for making fun of crappy graphics, but calling Level-5 a sinking ship?

What are you guys turning this thread into?

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

I'm digging the Amano painting; interesting concept behind it.

 

[jvalioli]

Second shot is CG...?

 

[KTallguy]

Ok get WKC pics out of this thread.

This is the thread of NOM NOM:

Don't cry, I like your arm bracelets a lot.

You can tell me about where all those tubes lead later, 'kay hun?

 

[duckroll]

Shitty WKC Pic #1

Looks like shit. Zero detail and totally flat background.

Shitty WKC Pic #2

Lame CG.

 

[GreekWolf]

Tempers are flaring... time for popcorn.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Most badass looking character since Squall.

Lightning and 33 cm look cool too, but in another way.

 

[Gattsu25]

Final Fantasy XIII

What the hell?

That *has* to be 3D characters over a CG background: It looks too fucking good!

Most badass looking character since Squall.

He looks familiar...as if thousands of anime and game characters share his same design...

IMO, that's one of the worst of the bunch.

Look at the left hand side of the pic at the strands of her hair and all the...pixelation, i guess...that's going on there. And the painted on tubes on the right side in the background.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

What are you guys turning this thread into?

So much failure.

If this thread was about how hot Lightning and the Red Haired girl was, it would be ten times better than what this thread has degenerated into.

Or we could talk about how Square made and honest to goodness charismatic female lead, and then THEY DECIDE TO MAKE FF13 INTO FF6 SO SHE DOES NOT HAVE A STRONG PRESENCE. What is up with that square? Why don't you do with this the effeminate male leads, instead you decide to do this crap when you have a female lead.

NO

PS2+CG on PS2, :lol but they don't prove anything.

 

[angelfly]

So much win in those pictures. Will no doubt be one of the best looking games at the end of this generation (if not the best).

 

[TrueReligion]

Lame CG.

If you're being sarcastic, then more power to you.

If not, then I understand, since you're the biggest SE fanboy around these parts.

 

[jiggle]

They said it from the very beginning that Lightning might not be the main lead though.

 

[neojubei]

If this is really is real time and I hope it is, then Square really puts to shame every RPG on the market. Yes even WKC and Mass Effect.

I hope all these scenes are in the demo next year.

 

[Zeliard]

What the hell?

That screenshot really is unbelievable. I had to blink a couple of times to make sure I was seeing it right.

 

[WrikaWrek]

I bet Versus is going to be this whole Romeo and Juliet type of gig.

And lol at people acting as if WKS ever looked anything but "kinda good i guess". Seriously.

 

[Crayon Shinchan]

So many perverts on GAF.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that noticed her enhanced arm pits... and do naughty things to them/her

 

[Gilgamesh]

Sasuke.

Do you honestly think WKC looks -good-? It looked okay two years ago, but now there are already games on the market that look FAR superior than that. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

They said it from the very beginning that Lightning might not be the main lead though.

I am sorry, that is such bullcrap.

Why can't they make her the lead? Do they have something against having a strong female character?

So many perverts on GAF.

:lol :lol

Hopefully Level 5 is looking at the competition and making the game better rather than rushing it.

 

[Desi]

but first when was Squall "badass"? Vossler is my man.

 

[duckroll]

Won't matter anyway. Level 5 can't design a good RPG without Yuji Horii doing all the scenario and game design anyway. Doomed.

Duckroll, just ignore the guy because they are ruining this thread.

It is bad enough that people are complaining about Nomura's design, when Lightning and the Prince are easily some of the best Gaming Designs to come out in a long time.

 

[neojubei]

Squall was badass in Kingdom Hearts. And yes Vosseler is badass.

WORD! I want Lightning's play arts action figure.

Dude, you aren't going to notice that shit for one whole second while you're playing the game. The curls are obviously going to sway and move, which is better than anything out there. Furthermore, the background can go eat my ass in this picture. I'd rather have them not render each individual rust fragment in the sewer pipes of this sector of the city. They should spend that time on the character models.

 

[Ermac]

I'm going to agree with duckroll here. WKC looked amazing when it was first announced, but since then plenty of games that have released or will this holiday season that out-do it. I'm still looking forward to it though. I mean, it's Level 5.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Squall design is badass to me. Because it is just down to earth enough, just stylish enough, and just dark enough, and...just modern enough.

:lol :lol :lol

Hey, these still shots are all we have son. Why can't we comment on the backgrounds without talk of eating asses?

My criticisms of that shot are legitimate, and yes, that picture is still the worst of the bunch.

Spoiler

(not including the first pic, which I suspect is the only one of real gameplay)

 

[Hcoregamer00]

I would buy a Lightning figure so fast your head will spin.

 

[burgerdog]

Fucking wow, that looks amazing. I want this gameeeee now!

 

[GreekWolf]

I don't see it. Other than aesthetically pleasing costume design, there's really nothing technically impressive about that particular shot. Background environment is bland and mired in DoF blurriness, and the models themselves aren't quite as detailed as characters like Wrex in Mass Effect. Speaking of which, I really need to complete that DLC.

I think Versus is easily more impressive of the two, at this point.

 

[Desi]

he is pretty much the only realistic design if you put it that way...would not give him much competition in your heart then. So if I post a picture of my saturday nights I have a chance of being "badass"?

 

[Eteric Rice]

They're nice looking technically, but I don't like the design much. To j-popish.

I like nom chan as usual, though.

Leaked Level 5 WKC design document!!

------------

TOP SECRET: CONFIDENTIAL
DO NOT READ UNTIL MARCH 2011

From the Desk of Hino

WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLE (Animu RPG with mechas)

Game will be an RPG with realtime combat that is not really realtime

All weapons will break. Enemies that break weapons will break. Enemies will break broken weapons into smaller pieces.

There will be unskippable 4 hour animu cutscenes

Battles will be largely automated, player presses triangle occasionally to accept or deny potions from automated AI

Box will say "from the makers of DQ8"

There is already 2 million in a trust fund to fight the lawsuit from armor project after this happens

 

[jett]

If Squeenix had waited a bit longer to announce the 360 port this thread would be much more entertaining. :/

Its not on the same level as XIII graphically, but the battle system and animations seem like they could turn out to be good. I like how the last gaurd turns and runs away.:lol

What the hell is your problem? Who's vosseler? Some dude in an armor is that it?

I like how squall looked, i thought his visual design was badass, just like i think Prince's visual design is badass.

Those bitches in armors don't impress me.

Yeah, i figured.

 

[soldat7]

Impressive but come on, games like HS, Uncharted, and Mass Effect aren't too far behind (if at all) in the character department.

But we really need to see this puppy in motion. When will that happen, another 6 months???

Newer videos showed a very different game in terms of interaction and animation. That video was probably all scripted. WKS really has nothing going for it now.

 

[Undubbed]

Why do soldiers in Final Fantasy games even bother? Those guns obviously do as much damage as a nerf bat. When's the last time anyone ever got killed with a gun?

Case Closed.

Everybody is so hot!

Just fucking awesome. Makes me sad the release is still far away.
