Why did anime-styled games look better 20 years ago than today
>>729831207they insist on PBR which was made for realism to appeal to normalfags
>>729831207modern anime looks like shit too so anime games are imitating shit
>>729831207They don't.
Play more games, OP.
ZZZ is the best looking anime game, post a better looking one
>>729831207anime was always cringe besides DBZ
>>729831207I wish we had gotten more RPGs like Skies of Arcadia. The adventure was so brilliant. Flying around, eventually getting your own base and building your crew, customizing your airship. Plus the story and characters were so charming and the world was so vibrant. We deserved more games set in this world, or something similar
>>729831683meet n fuck kingdom unironically
>>729831207>>729831683
>>729831683Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is still one of the best looking cel shaded games of all time. it captures the Naruto anime exactly.
>>729831207They didn't.
3d and anime never went together well. the psx-era was especially bad for it.
>>729832103>60FPS>anime
>>729831872Meet and HUH???
>>729831336GIANT LOW POLY MOB TITS RRRAAHHHH
>>729831207Because anime back then HAD a style. Unless you’re squeezing the dusty juice out of Toriyama’s corpse, most anime is probably going to have the hideously stale moeblob Genshit aesthetic like >>729832139 because Nips and bugs can’t innovate to save their lives.
>>729832181why?
>>729832241PC version can unlock the Framerate. Same with Granblue Relink. They look more anime than ZZZ.
>>729832361>Genshit aesthetic>Uma MusumeMy nigeru......
>>729831336those poor little twig legs supporting so much weight
>>729832476that's a child
>>729831207Besides this and Xenoblade 2 are there any other games with canon throuples?
>>729832769Out of 10
>>729832386I think that anon meant a true anime styled game also need to emulate the choppy 24FPS.
>>729832361>Genshit aestheticFucking retard.
>>729833280I dont care what anon meant I dont want my "anime" games to actually be like an anime.
>>729831207They had soul back then
>>729833851Because you're a gay and retarded redditor tourist.
>>729831207Based and true
>graphics get better but look worseWhat an annoying phenomenon
>>729834146You mean get worse and look worse
>>729832431>>729833734>Implying Uma Musume isn't as soulless as Genshit
i've played skies to many times. what games give a similar sense of adventure? the world slowly unlocking, the discoveries made exploring feel really well done.
>>729831207Chinese gacha fatigue. I'm shocked AI limit was an actual game
>>729831207
>>729834237What an embarrassing tourist post.
>>729834876>mfw made this faggot rage so hard he disappeared from the face of earth
>>729831207Only if you mean the actual artstyle as opposed to the way games have emulated anime look and feel. Bandai games like Code Vein nailed how anime characters should look in vidya, I just wish they'd make the environments anime too.
>>729833280meaning he needs a bullet through his neck
>>729834146The realism is very uncanny
>>729831207Good joke, but this actually came out 20 years ago
>>729834902he ain't wrong, tasteless faggot
>>729834146>on the old one you can see the layering and grooves that makes it look like actual bone/antler material>new ones just look like logs of shitthey just have no artstyle anymore, they slap an existing texture on it and call it a day.
>>729831207thank you for reminding me i wanted to play whichever 3d megaman game was on n64please help me find it
>>729831207Because they were literally cartoons and not trying to be real people desperately trying to cosplay as anime characters or gatch characters.
>>729832884
>>729831207they didn'tps2 chibis are abysmal
>>729831207Because back then, with hardware limitations, they had to work hard to make something look convincingly anime.Nowadays, it's too easy. The technology is too good, and the market is flooded with more technically-competent slop (see: gacha)SOVL vs Soulless, basically.
>>729834146I want to go back...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-WZWKbbHBcI miss when MH had soul
>>729831336cute :3
They fell for the "realistic anime" look which has 0 soul.
>>729831557it's like they've forgotten they're ultimately cartoons. go and watch something from the 80s and 90s and they'll have Looney Tunes-style gags and slapstick in them; characters will get stretched and shrunk and warped and do all kinds of wild stuff for a gag, whereas now studios are terrified of ever going off-model.
>>729841987This stuff looks so fucking retarded, I can't believe sloppers think this looks acceptable.
>>729842114I kept her in my active team ever though her counterpart was better for single target boss damage. Yes, entirely because of those bouncing stripes.
>>729831557>modern anime looks like shitRetard who has never actually seen old anime except some cherry picked OVAs.
>>729831207Because when you have a high-poly model and your facial features aren't just textures you have to do a lot of animating to make a character look expressive and alive and good animation is time-consuming and expensive. This is why so many games have a "mascot head" problem where they have these vapid stares and their facial expression almost never changes and they turn their entire head to look in a different direction.Toon Link - a character from a 23 year old game - feels more alive and expressive than many characters in modern games despite the fact that his facial features are just flat textures because you can practically read his thoughts in almost any given gameplay situation. This is not the case for most characters in most modern games where you barely see good face animation outside of cutscenes.
They can make it look like actual anime now and actual anime looks like trash.
>>729831207Why did you look better 20 years ago than today
>>729841116You'll never guess in a million years64 is actually a downgraded port of the original for the most part, and the sequel is PS1 exclusive, so you should really play the first Mega Man Legends game on PS1
>>729851474Cowboy Bebop was a TV anime and looks miles better than anything made today, you are blind.
>>729831662That's ugly as shit
>>729831207Some look good and some look shit today, just like they always have. Now fuck off OLD GOOD NEW BAD dumbfuck. Your retarded ass probably wasn't even alive twenty years ago.
>>729831207Anime looked better 20 years ago than it does today. It's literally that simple. And anime looked better 20 years before that, as well. Anime has been on a downward slope ever since its inception.
Chinese and korean games nowadays are better at making anime games than actual japanese games. Compare any gacha to atelier or that new digimon game.
>>729853890A big part of that is how cucked Japan now is about censorship. How do you get people writing stories and being enthusiastic when everything has to be corporate and safe so they can sell to baka gaijins who don't even allow "male" and "female" in the character select?
>>729831207Skies of Arcadia came out 26 years ago, anon.
art and style is timeless
>>729853991remember when people would joke about how cucked china is
>>729854283alena a cute :)
>>729854362The fuck. What anime is that.
>>729831984>>729833280TRVKE NVKEMI really want another game or fightan that looks exactly like Xrd, yeah it was a flop but it was fun to me, and that's all that matters. Strive somehow made it look too shiny and even more bulky and just doesnt look that good. Please don't make 3d blazblue arcsys im begging you.
>>729854564the problem with Strive is the character designs seem to dial back on how anime it was most likely to appease the normalfags they wanted to attract.>>729854606> all characters represent some genre of anime> all their story modes reflect this even having the "next time" summary of the next fightthis game has no right to be as fun as it was and the soundtrack also reflected the characters pretty well
>>729854531one punch, it's been a complete joke
>>729853731You think anime peaked with Astro Boy? You can't possibly believe that.
>>729855273Wait THE manga that was made by the chainsawman mangaka? Kekypow.
>>729855479Wait different title, nvm. I'm retarded.
>>729831662was this actually good?
>>729854564>>729855005It's a matter of what artstyle/art direction they follow. Arcsys proves they can flawlessly emulate the choppy 24FPS anime and make 2.5D very appealing seamlessly with any character designs like DBFZ.
CC2 used to master the naruto aesthetic 15 years ago that its weird that nobody bothered to do that for other anime series save for maybe dragon ball. Like people have been asking for a big budget kill la kill game for years for example.
>>729851474allow me to blow your back out publicly
>>729856016They still doing it for demon slayer though.
>>729834876>*dies of cringe*
>>729856327Do the games actually recreate the anime like the ninja storm games? I remember playing 3 or something and the game actually had me playing through a couple seasona of shippuuden and it was basically a very faithful and interactive version of the anime
>>729855082I've seen Pop N Tanks in a dozen threads, but I always forget to go try it.
>>729847463What the fuck are you even watching? Have you seen Mob? Even fucking One Piece
>>729831207This isn't the case for all of them, but they look too clean.
>>729832181Maybe this too.
>>729856403Very faithful. I'd dare say CyberConnect 2 and Arcsystemworks are good at anime styled games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncwgv3n2yOchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUzkaHsNzX8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me2eEdX-gcw
Anime as an artsyle has devolved into slop.
