Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
ahh innovation! before you'd have an icky human artists slave over a canvas to get something nice to look at. but that cost money! yuck!
>>740771072Nomura was having a duvet day
It's photoshop localized AI gen.Some intern was forced to generate something fast because Nomura was stuck in the FF7R mines.
No one cares
>>740771072Queernix is bleeding money after all their flops latelty. They dont want to pay artists. Nor pay for the single collections of game to be in separare Game cards on switch.
>>740771409Disney is notoriously picky about how their IPs are portrayed, yet here they are allowing 5 fingered Donald Duck.PC gamer published an article about it too https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/donald-duck-has-five-fingers-in-official-art-for-kingdom-hearts-collection-and-that-is-definitely-not-right/
The cover art is least of the problem
For the people more in the know, what's the point of this collection on PS5 and Series?Is there new content?All of the games, including 3, runs at 2160@60 on these platforms already. Is this 120fps?I don't believe they managed to fix the logic being tied to the framerate to this day, it's better than it was when it launched but still has some problems, granted only autists speedruners notice.
>>740774006an excuse to put the game at full price again since it constantly goes on sale
>>740774109As I thought. Really weird.
>>740771072Anon this is the same company that sold people NFTs in their 200 dollar cloud dolls
>>740771247Nomura has suffered enough at Square stop so on one hand he did less work on the other hand he is an artist and this is so fucking embaressing and he is probably seething right now.
>>740774006I think there is Japanese voice options?
All the people telling me to kill myself if I hate AI keep living rent-free in my head, even though I feel like I gave them adequate reason that I do. Should I just give up and learn to like it? It feels like they're never going to give up.
>>740771072>What the fuck happened to Square?They're cheap as fuck, they've always been like this for the past 2/3 console cycles at that. Just look back at the Switch era; if they could put codes-in-a-box, there would have been no second thoughts. Picrel only had an English physical version in some Asian countries only due to Bandai-Namco publishing it.>>740772916Case in point, hope you got shelf room for another card with nothing but a thumbs-up to DL all of that.
>>740771072I was kinda turned off by that art. Sora looks a little JUSTed in the face. Like bags around his eyes or lower eye sanpaku I don't remember him having. Only saw it in the Direct, and didn't pay enough attention to it. It being AI makes a lot of sense ... for why it looks that way ...Idk why they're using AI at all though.
>>740776126for me it's the silly composition that jumped out first. wee! we're foreshortening! kh1 and kh2 sora are in far too similiar a pose! looks so dumb
>>740771072Sora is bing bing now
>>740771201>Atlantica surrounded by mud water and uninhabitableik that's one of those "lol so random" realism scenarios like hedgehogs rolling around in shit, but imagine supporting AI when one of your worlds is fucking The Little Mermaid.
Speaking of AI-shit, I can't help but think that the recent keyart for Castlevania was also hit by it.There are a bunch of things that are just too awkward looking like the corners of the book not matching, the chain on her body partially consisting of half-drawn links, the right claw of that dude in the corner being fucked up, the one above him having a belt buckle but no belt, etc.Sure, Terada has a sketchy style but I can't remember it ever being so messy.MAYBE it was AI-upscaled which fucked up a bunch of details.
>>740771201I’m a merMAN!
Bump
>>740777896Why?
>>740774653I don’t think he drew this or even prompted it anon…it’s not his style.
Welcome to the slop age
They must have found out about their blunder.but not in time for the cover reveal.All digital store banners strategically hide Donald's 5 fingers.
>>740772916>doesn't even have Japanese as an optiongrim
>>740775571>Namco Bandai, Disney, Square Enix, and Nintendo collabing togetherTalk about a shit sundae. My God.
>>740774006The point was putting all KH games natively in switch 2.
>>740771337And you don't seem to understand...
>>740771197>seemingly turns into a different kind of chainthat's a clasp, to attach to the rung at the bottom of mickey's keybladeare people really this sheltered?
>>740774006>All of the games, including 3, runs at 2160@60 on these platformsthey don't, they were only enhanced for pro systems so while they're higher than 1080 they still used upscaling>Xbox One X, delivering a native, locked 2560x1440. PlayStation 4 Pro follows up, with a 2304x1296 pixel-countalso that's only for 3 and 0.2DDD's the only one with actual 4k in the PS4 release
>>740780250AI boogeyman does make people see things that aren't there. Donald's fingers are quite damning tho
>>740780723>Donald's fingers are quite damning thoyeah, it's probably an AI upscaling and edit job, and the original art doesn't show his other hand
Why KH3's gameplay feels so off? Why they didn't stick to KH2's gameplay forever (at least for mainline)?
>>740780887they're retarded
>>740780887>Why they didn't stick to KH2's gameplay forever (at least for mainline)?why would they want to stick with the worst numbered title's gameplay?
>>740781239They are though? KH4's gameplay is clearly modeled from KH3
>>740780887KH3 uses UE4 vs. KH2 using an in house engine when Square still had a reputation for technical prowess.
>>740780887my main problem is that there's no weight, Sora just stays floating while attacking nothing in the air.
>>740772916half a terabyte?! jesus the amount of duplicated assets must be insane, on pc its a fifth of the size
>>740780887>Why KH3's gameplay feels so off? Why they didn't stick to KH2's gameplay forever (at least for mainline)?Because it was done by the team who made the gameplay of the handheld games instead of the one who made the gameplay of 1 and 2.
>>740782192it was an error in the listing that's already been corrected, it's 54.1, I don't know why he's still posting it
>>740782417NTA anon but that is still a lot for a bunch of old games...
>>740780887The floatiness. It’s actually impossible to do a ground combo, sora somehow always ends up in the air
>>740771197All you need to do is to notice the yellow piss-filter.
>>740771072Above and beyond everything else what the fuck is going on with kh2 soras massive fucking stretched hand??
>>740782523it's what happens when you include a fuck ton of HD videos and high quality audio
>>740771072this is so fucking disgustingsquare seems to be made of just pure incompetence
>>740779142That's the original art. Even the JP box art uses the original art, this is purely a fuck up for the western box art.
>>740774704I guess you can already play in japanese, at least on Xbox, just download via the japanese store.>>740780076Yeah, this one I get it, my point is the usefulness bringing into Ps5 and Series. >>740780638Oh weird, I distinctively remember DF saying that on One X it was native 4k.And although I didn't counted pixels, I still think the original games are 2160p on Series X, can you give me the source where does it says it's not? I am not doubting, just that it was too crispy for being 1440p, but the they are PS2 games might have fucked my perception, maybe 1820p or something?
>>740771072Who caresLooks more soulful than what a californian would make
2 was perfect, fucknig hell just stick with it and its whole story structure
>>740786358>2 was perfectnot even close
>>740771072>>740771092>number of fingersThat's extremely easy to correct with AI though.
>>740771072no, it doesn't. the original image doesn't show Donald's left hand. square enix corporate used AI upscaling and to separate the characters, the original image they were apart.
>>740784532yep, its a square NA thing. fucking retards
>>740787486Outpainting is still image generation. Hell so is upscalingIt's pretty shameful though, anyone using image gen should be fixating on hands and feet. If you aren't noticing those errors what the fuck else are you going to miss? I have a trained eye and i miss little nonsense details in gen AI until after i post them, like the stupid fuck i am, but I'd never miss inconsistent fingers
>>740771197Why are people so schizo about AI
>>740789482Because it looks like shit and it's being pushed as the second coming of jesus.
>>740772916This is an error on nintendo's part. According to the game's physical box, it needs 130gbs of storage to install all of the three games
>>740789654>Because it looks like shitSubjective, and anyway you wouldn't have to go full schizo with red circles and???????? And WHAT COULD THIS MEAN????!?! And LOOOOK AT THE FINGERS THE TRUTH if it were truly so obviously and objectively shit. >it's being pushed as the second coming of jesus.So what lmao you're just a whiny bitch. They pushed the Internet as the second coming of Jesus too, yet here you are. You're probably not old enough to remember that.
>>740790025blah blah blah. At this point you deserve to be drinking mud water and watch our ecosystem die out. I'll be seeing you in Hell.
>>740789654>it's being pushed as the second coming of jesus.I see more people bitching about AI than people worshipping it.
>>740789482Imagine if 99% of online animation was goanimate videos to the extent that it becomes all anyone thinks of when they hear "animation"That's what happened with AI.
>>740789654>it's being pushed as the second coming of jesus.like books? radio? TV? computers? internet? social media?
People hate AI because it's being pushed as the solution to everything when in reality it's only good at a few things. Images being one of them, and it's only good if you know what you're doing and notice when fingers or other details look fucked up or inconsistent.
It's not AI, it just looks like shit because it's a dogshit tracejob by some unpaid intern. If you zoom in on the high res version you can see fuckups in the coloring that look like AIslop artifacts when they get compressed down to usable resolutions (i.e. picrel— you can see where they got lazy while coloring the lineart on the bottom of his shoe blue instead of purple)The background buildings aren't AI, either. They're screenshots of the models that match up exactly, far better than AI slop is able to do. If you run a photo of the Twilight Town clocktower through Clip Studio Paint's ugly "illustration" filter (which isn't AI) you can get almost identical results.
>>740793317Also, regarding the "tracejob" comment, Goofy and Donald's poses are obviously just traced over some official Disney stock artwork. Picrel is literally the first result for "goofy jumping" And if you line the two up using Goofy's face as the anchor point you can even seen how they rotated his hand like 30° to the right for no reason other than trying to disguise it. AI doesn't do shit like that, it'd re-Gen the entire hand.
>>740771072NFT Enix using A.I?Say it ain't so!
>>740790303TV and social media are garbage, so you're not making the point you think you're making.
