There more in play how lighting effects color that what I went though, but that was to give you and idea how colors can be skewed.
Often a Camera flash or studio lighting make colors appear brighter/lighter than they actually are. Also Photographers are train to compose there shots aesthetically more so than trying to remain color accurate, photography equipment and technology also follows this path.
Using different brands of film, different film cameras, or even different digital cameras will also slightly effect color on its own.
On film colors can be effected from everything from dark room procedures to the age of the photograph.
The only way to really tell the color difference between different objects is to have them side by side under the same lighting. It is why paint from home improvement stores come with little color samples on paper to compare the sample with the object you want to match
Markman’s needs to chime in if this is even going to be in the US market. If its like SFIV vanilla sticks legal licensing only went for one market Hori had japan, Madcatz had US. But if the states miss the SC version, I’m sure there will be a generic version sometime importing kills the price. The $78 dollar VS-HG made it about the same price as a TE (which was still a good deal) so you know this will retail around $150 and importing will make it over $200 easy
If it turns out to be hori stock buttons then I hope they use quick disconnects to make modding easier instead of buttons being soldered directly on pcb.
Ah damnit, my bad, I meant Soul Calibur hasn’t had a full Sanwa stick from Hori.
But ultimately I don’t think that matters. The reason I say this though is because of the XBOX360 mockup. It has the four buttons colored like the Hori sticks with Hori parts.
Hori art looks like shit.
Like they found the intern, told him “here, take these character images and copy-paste them on top of each other. Make sure at least 1 character is covered by the dust washer, and another is slightly out-of-frame. Fuck designing something cool, NEEDS MORE CHARACTERS!”
Buttons are most likely going to be stock Hori (judging by the mock-up).
And what the FUCK is that big black square in the top-right?
Madcatz for SC all the way.
INTERESTING art, a well-designed bezel (makes it stand out so much more), translucent coolness and full-arcade spec parts.
MarkMan, any chance you guys are working on new pads?
So do you think the start button cover makes the sticks design look better, or was it implemented to prevent accidental press of start button, which with the location of the button the cover is not really needed. What do you think about this.
I’d go w/ the Madcatz stick. I personally think it’s the best design out of the two. BTW what are the 2 ports on the hori PS3 stick? I see a headphone jack, but what’s the other port?
