Why does it seem like there's a guy talking shit about shmups on every thread? I didn't know people could be so angry at a thing for being bad at it

You do realize op is talking about visual designs. not level design?
Also how is this lazy from any kind of design standpoint?

No matter what people say I’ll always find recolored characters soulful: Sub-Zero / Scorpion, Mario & Luigi, Toads, Power Rangers etc… I think characters that are presented as different but in reality all play the same like Ryu, Ken and Akuma are way worse.

I think the bigger issue is that developers don’t try to be creative with this genre, and honestly that’s an issue I have with most shooters. Why make something like Fantasy Zone when you can make generic military or space shooter #9999?

It's cool that they gave them different poses.

Not really laziness, more like memory limitations. They didn't have the space to cram that many different sprites, so recolored characters were their best choice. Otherwise they'd ended in a situation like Vampire Savior / Vampire Savior 2 / Vampire Hunter 2, where they had to make separate games with different characters to accomodate them all.

batman forever kind of looks lazy from a modern perspective so it came to mind. but it's actually an awesome game for it's art style, really captured the batman forever vibe.

A /vr/ skitzo thats been at it since around the coof. You legit can't talk about the genre almost at all on 4chan.

I prefer palette swaps though. It's like the TMNT.

If anything, the real resource they saved on is having to buy more costumes

2/3 of the ninja sprites are shared.
Pic shows how many frames are unique to Scorpion.
