Mass Effect (x360) Screens -- WOW!

There's not much art to this game so far. How could it be uninspired? That's like saying KOTOR looks uninspired based on a 6 second teaser of the first world.

Sorry, many of us aren't overweight, bespeckled, goatee-sportin' computer dorks who wouldn't know good art if it smacked you in the face.
Oh look... it's either a:

a) Sega Fan
b) Nintendrone
c) Sony Fan boy
d) IGN forum troll.

It is.
 
picking on sci fi art and design is so easy. Its mostly just a waste of time to do so due to the unlikely chances that anyone will have a change of heart. Either you get turned on by it or you dont. It'd be nice if the haters could just say its not their cup of tea instead of providing worthless comments. Out of all of the comments in this thread not one exposes *why* the art is bad or uninspired.
 
KOTOR's art is not just ripped from the movies bit by bit. Unlike with Rogue Leader, KOTOR is not a Star Wars set piece. Each world has a unique look and feel, which was completely the choice of the people who created the art.

Duh.

Ever heard of Star Wars, sp0rsk? It's a 20 year old movie.

I'm usually at your side but this time you are wrong.


Oh dont worry im just a star wars hater in general.
And really kotor doesnt look too much like the movies, and actually id say kotor and this game look very very similar.

Back on to this game though, i've explained why i think this looks uninspired, you guys haven't given me a reason to think otherwise.

It's not uninspired because there's not even a full set of concept art yet?


Hello? Screen shot thread? what do you want me to say? if you wanna go that route you really shouldnt be able to say it looks good or bad. I think the screen shots\trailer that have been posted so far do little for me in terms of making me interested in the game or the world this game takes place in. To me it looks like a cheap knock off of every random sci fi movie that has come out in the past 15 years.
 
It looks pretty good technically. I like the character models. Also, it's a Bioware game, which means Bioware gameplay. I'm no art critic.

See this comes from japan, and is also bad.

I know you guys like to pin all your problems on the japanophiles,.

Because they alway seem to come into western game threads and bitch about artstyle even though they have little or no interest in western games

but if you could manage to pry the fanboy goggles off for like 10 seconds (i know guys, its gonna be hard but i believe in you!)

would that be western art fanboy? or xbox fanboy? I'm sure most of the people who like
the look of this game are niether.

you could see that the presentation in this game is not interesting in the slightest, and the character designs are almost funny. Not in a slapstick way, like that picture above, but in a "we just graduated from the art institute of the internets" kind of way.

This falls totally under "IMO" I agree with what the other poster said about this having a classic sci-fi feal to it. I dig that.
