Pretty nice looking sprites, right?

2017-01-09 10:42:29 UTC  

too low resolution that image

2017-01-09 10:42:40 UTC  

too low resolution that image

2017-01-09 10:42:50 UTC  

So is your face

This,

2017-01-09 10:44:00 UTC  

?*

2017-01-09 10:44:11 UTC  

They look like the kinda sprites that would make my laptop lag

2017-01-09 10:45:51 UTC  

Well

2017-01-09 10:46:01 UTC  

They're full 3D models

2017-01-09 10:46:27 UTC  

Stylized and perfected to look like 2D sprites

2017-01-09 10:46:35 UTC  

What

2017-01-09 10:46:54 UTC  

There's no way you'd be able to tell

2017-01-09 10:47:02 UTC  

See

2017-01-09 10:47:08 UTC  

Exactly

2017-01-09 10:47:12 UTC  

It's amazing

2017-01-09 10:47:16 UTC  

actually, it's pretty much visible that it's 3D

2017-01-09 10:47:57 UTC  

the cel shading is quite well done, but the whole thing doesn't look anywhere close to 2D

2017-01-09 10:48:17 UTC  

??

2017-01-09 10:49:33 UTC  

look at old Guilty Gears if you want to see the diff

2017-01-09 10:50:10 UTC  

Old Guilty Gears were pixel sprites though

2017-01-09 10:50:31 UTC  

When I mean sprites there, I mean like Skullgirls sprites

2017-01-09 10:50:44 UTC  

Where they're hand drawn and everything

2017-01-09 10:51:01 UTC  

They did a great job in skullgirls

2017-01-09 10:51:05 UTC  

I love it

2017-01-09 10:51:12 UTC  

yeah

2017-01-09 10:51:16 UTC  

Mhmm

2017-01-09 10:52:11 UTC  

But yeah the Xrd models are amazing, they even manage to exaggerate features where every other company fails to with 3d models

2017-01-09 10:52:42 UTC  

Like, compare the difference in Street Fighter 3rd Strike and in SFV

2017-01-09 10:53:03 UTC  

In terms of character movements and stuff, especially in terms of how they react to being hit

2017-01-09 10:53:24 UTC  

If you compare the same things between new and old GG's, it still looks great

2017-01-09 10:53:27 UTC  

there's a lot of cel shaded games that did the trick quite well

2017-01-09 10:53:37 UTC  

Ni no Kuni in another genre was well done too

2017-01-09 10:54:29 UTC  

back in the days, Jet Set Radio was really well done for its time too

2017-01-09 10:55:18 UTC  

now this fail to impress me. It's good looking, but I don't have the "woaw" effect that this older games gave me

2017-01-09 10:56:06 UTC  

It may sound like an excuse, but it looks better in motion

2017-01-09 10:56:17 UTC  

what about tekken?

2017-01-09 10:56:23 UTC  

A still image doesnt show how much talent is there

2017-01-09 10:56:36 UTC  

Tekken doesnt have a 2D sprite counterpart

2017-01-09 10:58:12 UTC  

to be fair, they adapted to the 3D much better than SNK x)
