I'm so happy they kept it on Xbox. Looks awesome.

 

[Rhindle]

I think the plant design is awesome.

I mean how mean other games allow you to step into the shoes of an angry monster plant?? And shoot exploding pod-things out of your arm-things?

:lol


Anyways, that last one (the art) actually looks like it was done by someone older then 13!

 

[olimario]

This would all be more acceptable if, like Conker, it didn't take itself seriously.

:lol

 

[Solid]

this have bomb written all over it.

That's one of the dumbest character designs I have ever seen. I'm sure that thing can't move...so what's the deal with the huge freaking mouth of teeth?

It's shown for about half a second on one of the e3 trailers.. It rolls around like a tank

Oh, well that's even worse.

 

[radioheadrule83]

I still like Rare's designs (GBTG being an exception). It's crappy collectathon gameplay that treads on my nutsack.

 

[Calidor]

lick my balls!

Winnar! :lol

I thank the good baby jesus every night that rare's only allowed to create character design for their own games.

 

[raYne]

You should've titled it NightRARE before Christmas.... but eh...

 

[Odnetnin]

even the trolls wanted to flee away on that ship

BAIL OUT BOMB!~@

the models don't look half bad but when is this game ever coming. :lol

 

[Reilly]

That girl character looks so stupid.

 

[raYne]

360 launch... (window) duh?

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Let's see...

A couple of of changes and we're ready...

The Quadrafecta of RARE art evolution:

• Big eyes
• Spikes or some shit
• Animals w/ human characteristic
• Gaudy colors

Apply any three of these characteristics together and you can form 95% of all RARE characters.

 

[sprsk]

CEEEEEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!!

 

[dorio]

You guys are pathetic. As if an Italian plummer with a water pack makes alot of sense. It's a freakin' platformer; what do you guys expect from the character designs.

 

[Odnetnin]

Mario and Co are all better designed for their purposes then these models. You wouldn't even want to extend the lives of these character designs past this one abomination.

oh i see, so one of the central prerequisites for platformers is shitty art? That is good to know.

There's a much better one, it involved vegetables and putting the big eyes on them.

.... so close.

 

[BlueLegs]

I can't wait for the next gen Artoon - Rare collaboration.

 

[dorio]

Yes, this is great art. Where's that freakin' rolleyes smilie?

I wish the dime store art critics would leave video game forums.

 

[JackFrost2012]

I wish Rare would leave the video game industry, so I guess we're even.

Better?

 

[FiRez]

PBF and the last PA were more funny, but the bad art comic of the last week was fucking great :lol

THIS IS THE FUCKING PALETTE THEY WERE WORKING WITH

 

[dorio]

THIS IS THE FUCKING PALETTE THEY WERE WORKING WITH

Doesn't change the fact its a turtle thingy with spikes and gay bondage leather wristbands.

 

[olimario]

Sorry dorio, but this is better than any RARE art.

one of my fav movies ever..


funny as hell seeing the replacment heads.

the stone mouth guy rocks. could care less about him as a game figure, just the charecter himself as a whole is what i like.

 

[Odysseus]

Yay, it's the art police!

 

[Neex]

Designer 1: This plant guy needs more oomph...

Designer 2: Give it fangs!

Designer 1: Oh, nice! This rock guy seems lacking as well...

Designer 2: Give it fangs!

Designer 1: What? ok...

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I wish the dime store art critics would leave video game forums.

Seriously.

 

[jimbo]

I personally love Rare's art style and we need some of their stuff right now in the market. Even though it can be easily summed up, it's what I believe makes it so lovable. I miss the Banjo Kazooie style and Diddy Kong Racing. Both very beautiful games. Not to mention they did amazing things with Donkey Kong Country and its still one of the prettiest and artistically unique games to look at. Kameo, if anything, si more of a departure from their style, IMO, and I believe if they just keep the Banjo Kazooie style and make it a 360 game it would no doubt be a graphic whore's paradise. Bring on BK3!!!

[Kato]

updated :lol

 

[dorio]

Sorry dorio, but this is better than any RARE art.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the games with Bowser were good. Usually that affects how we feel about the character designs. I remember people making fun of the grunts and jackals from Halo when they were first shown. If the game is good I could give damn why a rock creature has teeth.

 

[Ghost]

The plant sucks but i like the rest of the playable characters designs...(Kameo being my least favourite of the remainder) I think the rest of you would as well if it were any other game.

 

[ohamsie]

I hate almost everything about that dragon. Head is way too big for that body, wings are growing out of the neck, and the curve of the back seems really strange

...

Its a pretty standard design dragon.

 

[ohamsie]

on that dragon, the head is much smaller, the wings are coming from the shoulders, and the back doesn't have an almost 90 degree angle with the tail

 

[raYne]

It's a baby dragon.

Spoiler

Pure speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[silver]

This game is gonna tank SO HARD it makes me feel sorry for Rare.

 

[masud]

I actually think Rare does a good job with fantasy/light hearted artwork. This game just seems unfocused. Like they're trying to mix "Xbox edge" with what the game originally was and it's not working.
