Nice

Amazing how far great art design can take a 1st-gen-looking gfx engine.

 

[djtiesto]

Korea's soon gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the games industry...

*must go get a GamePark soon!*

 

[Shompola]

awful just awful. And people make fun of Sudeki yet praize this shit?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

this is a PC port so....

 

[Alex]

Some of the worst character design ever. Nomura has been trumped.

You seriously aren't really making this comparison are you?

 

[Shompola]

You seriously aren't really making this comparison are you?

why not? not only is the art in this game utter shit, the technology behind rendering it is equally shit.

I don't get the 'bad art' comments..

 

[u_neek]

I don't get the 'bad art' comments..

It's become a bad habit....

I like the art tho..

 

[Culex]

I like the art style in this game. It's just a shame it looks like a generation 1 PS2 game.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

I don't get the 'bad art' comments..

yeah it looks good to me

Magna Boobies more like it! har har har

*cough*

 

[jarrod]

Heh, I'm enjoying Oli's other pics at OA more.

if the title of this thread was "magna carta for xbox" every post would have been about how bad the art is.

 

[XS+]

^ Opa-Ages can goto hell for making that thread

 

[Laurent]

I personnaly thinks that the artwork is awesome...

This isn't Sudeki art, where they (as in the artists) were trying to do some hybrid western/eastern style.

If this were on the Xbox, we'd all be harping how the game itself isn't much to look at.

 

[Takuan]

I love this guy's art, but the game looks like poop. I hear it animates horribly, too.

 

[u_neek]

Please don't tell me this is bad (as in Sudeki) art:

Those are fab.. but it didn't translate too well into the game.

 

[Laurent]

Those are fab.. but it didn't translate too well into the game.

Let's hope this isn't the final version yet...

*fap*

 

[Cloudy]

awful just awful. And people make fun of Sudeki yet praize this shit?

You've gotta be kidding me, dude. Sudeki's art is ass comapred to this, Hell, Sudeki's art is ass period

Any news on a US release?

 

[dark10x]

awful just awful. And people make fun of Sudeki yet praize this shit?

Even if you don't care for this style, I don't see how you could possibly think Sudeki looks BETTER.

From a tech standpoint, these guys aren't exactly top notch. The original PC game had a signifcantly worse looking engine with tons of major problems and bugs...

Sudeki is f*cking insulting to me as a gamer. They try to push this whole "sexual appeal" angle in all of the ads (and even the damn cover) and it fails in every way possible. It represents something that is wrong with the industry and it pisses me off. "Full frontal assault"? Pff...

You really think THIS looks better???

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of how Magna Carta looks, but Sudeki's art design is absolutely TERRIBLE (in more ways that one). Come on, they basically stuck all the female characters is f*cking bathing suits...

F*ck, I should just insult you like you always seem to do to me (for no apparent reason)...then again, I'd rather not sink to that level.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

lol @ the character clothing

 

[Deku Tree]

Anyone know if Magna Carta is Japan only?

 

[Vieo]

Hmm... the shades that guy is wearing are so small I doubt they would provide much protection from the sun.

Now that is what I want to see next-gen. Cel shading that can actually do those character designs justice.

 

[Shouta]

Bad graphics engine and loony in game art design. Character art is nice but the character designs are bleh. Hopefully they un-suck the game from the PC release.

 

[Gerber]

Talk about lame..... This is the Japanese equiv of Sudeki.

 

[NetMapel]

wtf shoes are they wearing in those arts ? You cannot walk with those stupid high-heels and crap.

 

[Shompola]

Please don't tell me this is bad (as in Sudeki) art:

Why not compare concept art with concept art? Both games look like ass artistic wise in game .

 

[Alex]

Both games look like shit, both games have, actual drawing quality aside, shit concept art.

Arguing which is uglier is rather pointless in my opinion.

Failed attempts at trendy males, and failed attempts at wank material females. GAMERS LOSE.

But no fear, CHICKEN GIRL WILL SAVE US.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

No! Sudeki looks much worse IMO

 

[belgurdo]

Kind of the same way we can't summon meteors in real life, I guess

 

[Pimpbaa]

Both have terrible in game art, although Sudeki is considerably worse. Worse thing about Magna Carta is the clothes on the characters, especially chicken girl.

Says the guy with bloodrayne as his avatar

Pffft, she is better than any character in either of those 2 games. If you mean clothes, she has better clothes too! It may be terribly impractical clothing, but at least she doesn't look like a chicken. Slut > Chicken

BTW i think Feng Zhu is the man, i just think bloodrayne wasnt one of his better designs

Tight leather > Dress

 

[belgurdo]

I just love how these "bad art" discussions always blossom into something big whenever a game's art doesn't look like the lolicon section of an image board

 

[Ramirez]

LMAO,dude in the bucket hat is hilarious

Graphics look pretty trashy =\

Who the hell in this thread said they wanted underaged looking chicks?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

both games have shit art. Sudeki's is just bad. But the other game isn't much better with a guy looking like the bass player for a mid-90s grunge band as a character.

 

[Solid]

That design is awesome! *save pics*

 

[Senretsu]

What kind of game is this? rpg? turn based?

 

[MetatronM]

The ART is friggin' awesome. It doesn't translate as well as it should in-game, mostly due to the inferior engine they're using. That said, I still like that pic where she's crossing the rock bridge. Otherwise the game is kind of bland and generic looking. But the ART is just way too good for the game.

Sudeki just has terrible art direction all around. It looks bad in game, and the art is horrifically bad to boot. It's not even generic art like some other recent RPGs. It's just absolutely terrible. Being generic would be an improvement for Sudeki.

 

[jiggle]

this is a PC port so....

This game is not a port of the PC version. New casts, new stories, and new codes? This was pointed out to me twice, so I've finally remembered.

Neways, I like how it looks. It could look better, of course. Not all games can be Final Fantasy.
