In January of this year, Webzen, Inc. announced its expansion into the U.S. market and the opening of a Los Angeles office. In addition to APB, Webzen, Inc. plans to bring multiple online game titles to the U.S. market. The titles include the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), SUN, releasing in the third quarter of 2005, and a massively multiplayer online first person shooter (MMOFPS) called Huxley, that leverages the latest Unreal 3 game engine and is scheduled to release in 2006. Webzen, Inc. is also developing game properties for the next generation game consoles to enhance its appeal to the mainstream gaming audience.

Webzen, Inc. has developed some of the world's top online game and client/server technologies. The company also prides itself in the creativity department, publishing some of the most highly acclaimed titles for the Asian market. For its tremendously successful 3D MMORPG title, MU, Webzen, Inc. has attracted over 56 million users and a half million concurrent users from the Asian market alone.

every western development house needs to go take a trip to capcom to see how to make good 3d models of people.

the better the graphics are the more embarassing shit like this looks.

I agree with my edit.
I also agree with your last comment. Does this studio look at their final prodcut and say, "Wow... That looks FANTASTIC"? If so, :(.
 
I have a feeling next generation we are going to have to get used to this new look of "amazing technically" but "shit artistically" style. We should call it the: "technowowzartshit" effect ;).

i agree konami too, but ashley and lady from DMC3 are easily the best character models in games period.

In game version is suprisingly accurate to this. the way her nose is elongated, puffy lips, just an astounding attention to detail.
 
That's pretty hot... even that little line across her nose is cute. Good design.

The original pictures... well, what can I say that other's already haven't said for me.
 
heres his brother

and really the only dante render i can find
920607_20050106_screen057.jpg


in the game dantes bro looks a little bit more asian, dante looks spot on though. there arent any good in game shots of the girl though. its better when you see it in motion anyway.
 
You can't really compare DMC3 to SH3 tech-wise...DMC3's engine is able to handle many enemies at the same time, and runs at 60fps. Of course the models aren't going to look as good. :P

Those renders are badass, though. Do you have any more of those?

Incredible for a MMO. Or didn't any of you catch that part? :lol


who cares? oh look this game has a bunch of turds with faces walking around in space INCREDIBLE!!!
 
Hmm, the model in that DMC3 shot that SSX posted looks similar to something in The Bouncer...

...which just happens to be a VERY good thing for me as I loved the way those models looked. :)

The models are actually better than The Bouncer in game. They also animate crazily good. Best animation Capcom's done so far.

Holy shit! This is the first character design I've actually really liked from a Japanese game in a very long time.

That's a good one.

We won't see the MMORPG Sun until 2007 and the MMOFPS probably not until 2008.

The MMO was just announced and will be out this year? Hah.

The only major MMOs out this year will be Matrix (Marc 22nd) and D&D Online (November).
