ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 RE is not doing too good since RE1, they are pretty much doing the same thing over and over again. I really liked 3. Being chased around and not knowing quite when he would pop up added a lot of tension. When I first played it I didnt know you could kill him. Pumping that many bullets into something and it not falling over dosnt usually bode well. So I did a lot of running and dodging as he followed me around. The last one I played was Code Veronica (unless you count RE0 which I gave up on pretty early). I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Judge Hades Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hate to break it to you but RE 4 has nothing to do with the T virus, G virus, or even Umbrella. I saw some of the pics inthe game and it looks downright awesome. That chain saw wielding guy can really take a bite out of Leon. Another thing that there are no area transition screens like the doors. Hell there won't be any cut scenes either. Its going to be straight on dialog and action. The action being of course running the hell away from the chain saw wielding fruit cake who is wearing a burlap sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakron Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Then it sucks, SH3 was very like that (except it had cutscenas and dialogue) and was the weakest of the series. Fact is they milked RE dry and are running out of ideas, RE is a action game, not a survival horror game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalmonkey Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I am both cute and graphic. I am also covered from head to toe in a garment of chocolate pudding skins stitched together with human hair. Therefore I am also delicious. Verily I am a walking fusion of eclectic sensory delights. A dull boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalmonkey Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 ^Nice to have you here, Jackalmonkey. thx will b here all wk. Come to think of it: no, I will most certainly not be here all week. See, I only stopped by because severxsever helpfully mentioned that this place is a retard warren, and now and again I like posting in a forum where I have absolutely nothing to lose. For instance, watch me now as I blatantly insult a moderator: HEY FIONAVAR. NICE FACE. I'LL BET YOU SOMETIMES EAT FOOD WITH IT. AND THAT WHEN YOU DO, YOU BECOME FULL AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. AND THEN NO LONGER WISH TO EAT ANY MORE FOOD. HAHAHA. Okay, so I'm not good at insulting people. This is really beside the point, which is: I don't intend to be here for any significant period of time, but thanks for the welcome anyway. A dull boy.

Chairchucker Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 So... getting back on the subject... which is the fact that cute graphics are the be all and end all of... of graphics. Dammit, buggered that up. Anyway, here are some awesome games with cute graphics. Mario Kart. Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2. OK, true, they're neither PC games nor RPGs, but I think they still illustrate my point that cute graphics are rad. If there were more PC games with cute graphics (other than the two awesome ones I've already mentioned), then I could use them as examples of PC games with cute graphics (hopefully, ones that rock. That would help my point.) So Delaware should employ cute graphics so I can forever use it as an example of awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Halewyn Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Silver had cute graphics and is a PC game. It didn't rock though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 The FFVIII demo for PC had "cute" graphics... the game(-demo) s**ed I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though, that it *might* have been better in japanese and on a console. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Drakron Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 "Cute" only works when trying to mimic a anime look, as mentioned Silver had then and fail. Even FF IX had then and failed (compared with VII and VIII). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kefka Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 hmm, I'm not really a fan of cute graphics - especially in RPGs - I much prefer realistically drawn characters and locations. Final Fantasy 6 is fairly cute, but I think that was more because of SNES's limited graphics than design. It's still a great game. Come to think of it, one of my all-time favorite RPGs is cute as hell -- Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) . This game is so cute it'll make you puke. Try not to laugh when you first see Rabites bouncing around. Btw, I tried Zelda on Gamecube, and I find it almost too cute to play. I'm not likely to complete it any time soon.

chaosprism Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 *spits* Cutesy .. urrggh... vomit... Seriously though: Good gameplay is good gameplay and the cutesy overlay really is immaterial, in fact the games would have been even better with realistic graphics. All that cutesy graphics do is make is possibly more attractive to infants and nappy wearing teenagers (if there are any) :D And yes many are there to copy the display format of certain anime cartoons which although interesting in minor amounts is EASILY overused.

neriana Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 People who take this topic seriously are cute. Disgaea's an example of a good game with cutesy graphics. The Japanese can definitely go overboard in that department, though. I like lush, detailed, well-designed graphics, in any style. If the base illustrations aren't interesting, it doesn't matter whether they're implemented "realistically" or "cartoony", the graphics are gonna be dull. And if the base art it excellent and the graphics programmers know what they're doing, the graphics will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neriana Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I've seen it. In fact, I... um never mind . It looks fun. The thing about Disgaea, and probably La Pucelle, is that those cute graphics cover for gobs of sarcasm, a good dose of evilness, and incredible amounts of gameplay complexity and depth. They're cute like an evil little gnome with a poisoned dagger and a workable plan to conquer the world is cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairchucker Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 "Cute" only works when trying to mimic a anime look, Nonsense. Twinsen and Beyond Good And Evil are both clearly cute, both clearly rad, and both clearly not trying to mimic an anime look. Same with the cow in Black and White, although I haven't actually played that game, and don't really plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well theirs has more acceptance, but then again, they do it more often. They have more series, and have mastered it quite well. Twinsen was definetely "cute", but the styles are different. Each worked on their own. Also, Pokemon and Yugi Oh seem to be more accepted, true, but not necessarily because of the anime style, but rather because of the whole merchandise surrounding them. Don't also forget how Mana and CC are made by Square. Most things that Square do are widely accepted, even if they were using good anime in it or not.

Calydon Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Replace 'cutesy' with 'whimsical' and I think you have a winner no matter what the overall art style. No more big eyes, though, please. A Dragon Age Project coming 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
