>>739729146>Creates the prettiest Vidya female characters What's china's secret?
>>739729146>another mediocre chink hack-and-slash with terrible art directionI sleep.
>>739730793What's terrible about the art direction?
>>739730998Put simply, its boring. It evokes nothing in me, no particular imagery or vision crosses my mind. I look at it and I see artists trained at chinese calarts, holding existing media as their muse and chief reference. Its perfectly functional, and perfectly trite.
>>739731230Looks like you lack sovl, anon.
>>739731230What would make it less boring to you?
>>739729146wow this looks really generic
>>739731543How so?
>>739731450A distinct, succinctly-communicated artistic vision would be a good start. Lets take this image of Bayonetta 1 as an example. One read of this image communicates the game's tone, themes, and mechanics. Just looking at it once gives you a pretty good idea of what you're getting into, and that is due to how strong the creative vision behind the work is. Bayonetta IS the IP, so she can just stand there and you get everything you need to know.In contrast, you could take the very nicely rendered protagonist in the OP image and slot her right into a whole lineup of different games. She could be from a now-defunct late 00s MMO, or an early 2010s AA action game, or an sRPG, or a Diablo-like, or whatever. Its a design created to conform to an idea, not a design born from one.
>>739732148>In contrast, you could take the very nicely rendered protagonist in the OP image and slot her right into a whole lineup of different games.It's a literal who character from a new IP made by a literally who chinese studio. Bayonetta is an already established IP so your post suffers from bias. If Bayonetta wouldn't have been an already known character and IP, your pic would have communicated even less than the OP's image does about that game. The pic you posted of bayonetta doesn't even show her face. You could make the same post about your pic.>Its a design created to conform to an idea, not a design born from oneIt's a design which shows off another suit for an event, not anything related to key art. Anyone who is actually interested already knows what the game is about because it's been shilled to hell and back last year and the shilling campaign is only going to ramp up going forward.>>739731230>It evokes nothing in meToo bad, so sad for you then.
>>739732976>It's a literal who character from a new IP made by a literally who chinese studio.So what? Its boring and derivative. But hey while we're on the subject, check out this literal who character from a literal who studio.
>>739733249>But hey while we're on the subject, check out this literal who character from a literal who studio.Are we pretending it's a industry changing design, just because. . .what? I didn't play that game btw, mainly because the characters look like they were designed to not offend people. The stereotypical asian woman with a square face? Really? Actually the other one called Ciel is even worse. Maelle looks better but that's an underage character. The game's been shilled to the 9th depths of hell and back, which is why i know the names but never had any interest in playing it. Bayonetta at least had something going for her, these are just "people" and when you play video games, you don't wanna see just "people", at least not me. Both Bayonetta and the girl in the op at least look good. E33 characters have handsome male characters, which tells you who the audience of the game is, and the women look like ugly shovel victims with perma resting bitchface. It's a boring and derivative design and if feet would actually be a real beauty standard for women instead of a fetish for weird internet people, she wouldn't even have her feet exposed. That's the only core design element of the character, her feet being out while the rest of her body is covered up by a highly generic suit which impresses nobody. The heavy lifting here is done by the animators and, ironically, the feet being visible because it basically beats you over the head with "this character is a mage character, see? she's levitating"
>>739733624>I didn't play that game btwYeah I think we're done here.
>>739732148How does your pic convey the themes/mechanics of Bayonetta?
>>739734146Long limbs for enhanced readability of melee combat. Guns to suggest there's a ranged option. Hair seemlessly merging into clothes to foreshadow hair based powers. Loose hair at arms suggest wings, establishing a crow motive around the character. Bare back indicating the whole burlesque dancer aesthetic.
>>739734359I don't really think any of that is really what someone unfamiliar with the series would get from that pic other than the gun (though since that's the only weapon present I think one would assume it's a shooter game) and the wing-esque design.
>>739729146she looks like she's great for thighfucking
Looks like the most repulsive UEslop I've seen since Excrement33. Probably more than half made with AI too
Bump
Enjoy your kernel bitcoin miner.
>>739729146The title is cringey but the gameplay looks like it has potential and I also like the aesthetic so I'll keep an eye on it
>>739734359I haven't ever played Bayonetta. I didn't get any of that. I just saw;>slutty looking woman with guns and gun bootsIf I had never once seen the game talked about on /v/, I would have thought some kind of shitty arcadey third person shooter equivalent of a hack and slash game.
>>739734359Nah this is bullshit. You know what Bayonetta is and so you retroactively justify those points through shaky logic. Your argument is fucking terrible.
>>739729146Is this single player?
>>739736939Sir, Bayonetta is an lgbt icon. Please show some respect
Boring.
>>739736772Huh
>>739733761You didn't play the game in the OP either. We're so deffo done here, sis. Totes donzo!
>>739729146Tides of Anal is shitty UE5 slop with huge framedrops and garbage performance.Dead on Arrival.
It would be fantastic and would make every shitposter here seethe uncontrollably for some unknown reason.Many such cases
I am just hoping for a good ryona potential.
>>739730998genuinely nothing in this game makes it stand out. it looks like a dime a dozen marvel movie/soulslike.>>739731445ironic
>>739739067What games do stand out to you?
>>739730998Yeah it looks like Korean MMO
>>739739067Fuck... I agree with you. I'll probably play it anyway. Still you're right. When I see Lune or Bayonetta I know exactly where they are from. Same as characters from Nier. Hell even Dynasty Warriors I know immediately if a character is from there.
>>739739101showa american story already has a way better setting and art direction, just to make an example among upcoming chinese games. fuck even black myth surpasses this by sheer virtue of being based on actual chinese mythology and clearly showing it.this game has the same energy of that russian avengers movie, arguably even worse because at least it was a slavshit movie made by slavs for slavs.
>>739739324don't fuck with me retard, bayonetta, nier and even dynasty warriors have all a distinct art direction and settings that makes them recognizable. i don't give a shit if normie mcnormieson doesn't recognize 2b, this isn't an argument dictated by how easily a layman person can recognize at glance an ip he likes or know what a character does or semantics for sionist academias like that. we're in a fucking gaming forum, nigger. don't act foolish cause we all know your skitch.
>>739739503>agrees with you>attacked anywayTake your fucking meds you're a sperg.
>>739729146>Denuvo>Chink slop>Cinematic game that plays itself>one button mash combat systemNot touch it
>>739729365These are not women, these are just dolls made by people who never touched a woman in their lives. Look at that skin texture lmao. PS3 tier graphics. The eyes lack detail. The hair looks atrocious.You lost, chang
>>739739539if you were genuine i'm sorry, i got carried away a bitbut it did sound mocking anyway considering the rest of the thread and the post's context
>>739739797>people who never saw, touched, or even heard of women, ever>still manage to make better looking women than the "woman touchers"
Oh, so this is just a seethe thread then?
>>739740003It's the new way of advertising games these days. You make a thread and then proceed to bitch about the game and bump the thread repeatedly because shitting on games creates more attention than just sucking up to them. It's a pretty brilliant marketing strategy.
>>739739994I'm genuine. I agree with you completely. I'm tired of this slop flooding the market.
>>739740080>free market functioning, giving audiences what they like>noooo NOOO NOOOHOHOHOHOOO STOPPP So does this apply to E33 and other games like that, such as BG3 or just stuff you don't like?
>>739740124I don't like BG3. E33 was okay if not for Metaphor it'd be the only game in that style.
>>739740194>sweating profusely>ehe . .hehe. .w-well, y-you see, E33 a-and BG3 aren't e-ex-exactly the same genre. . heheYou need a napkin to wipe off that sweat bro?
>>739740252You're projecting an imaginary person onto me and arguing points against that person. That level of derangement is like a force of nature.
>>739740346>You're projectingYou've been asked a simple question and started dodging it like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix movies and i'm just mocking you for your insincerity, hypocrisy, naivety and now, crass idiocy of attempting to make me look bad. So answer the question or close the tab because you're anonymous here and nobody will know or care that you're making yourself look like a food on an imageboard.
>>739729146Looks just like every other korean MMO woman we've seen since the early 2000's. Nothing new, nothing interesting.
I love my girls
>>739729365They want to create pretty characters, whereas Western developers worship ugliness.
it's not like DMC or FF are doing anything right now
>>739729365>blonde with slightly glowing orange eyespure sex
