GIVE ME BISON TRAILER!
Jimmy is going to make the cut. He is Ono’s favorite character, if one of the world warriors is cut I can’t imagine it be him.
TBH i can see Ono happy just putting him somewhere in the jungle stage
For better or worse, the game looks a lot like Sf4 in those pictures.
Worse.
This has been discussed to death in the art direction thread. I take it you think it’s for worse?
I don’t get what people are looking for with graphics. MKX graphics look a lot like MK9 graphics except their quality and detail is nicely improved. Same goes for SFV. What are you expecting anyways? Them to switch it up to something like GG graphics?
People are expecting something that is a major upgrade visual wise, different art style, and different gameplay wise. Otherwise why not just call it SF4 Mega edition, or SF4 Ultra plus, or whatever. This is SFV. It should be far removed from SF4 which has been around since 2008.
Just a note, it’s a lot easier to update visual style when hardware allows for it.
The new generation of hardware does not bring that much of an update. We’re not going to be blown away by graphics anymore, hardware had advanced too far already for that. Now it’s just minute adjustments and very subtle differences to make up a new picture.
The only way SF5 would look different is if they shot for a completely different art style. Hell they could’ve gone back to sprites or sprite based animation too, which probably would’ve raised a collective orgasm here…for two seconds before everyone shits on them for jacking GGXrd’s style.
Even though I’m not the biggest fan of the SF4/SF5 artstyle myself it’s a better choice to maintain your unique art style than trying to play follow the leader with other FG franchises. Even if your artstyle is somewhat shit.
Damn, they already got alt color Ryu ready. Can’t wait for the Nico event.
So, with Charlie and Bison being present thus far, who else do you think will make the cut? The common theme I note between those two is the Shadowloo arc, so I think characters that tie into that have stronger chances. Meaning we are likely to/could possibly see:
-Rose
-Cammy/Decapre/Dolls
-Juri
-T.Hawk (Juli is his sister)
-Abel
I mean, he hasn’t been in every SF game. I don’t think he’s “definitely in” but it would be neat to see him back with maybe a more serious design or something. He should be more savage!
EDIT* im fucking done, so many grammatical errors and typos in my last message, don’t even care.
I’m not saying it isn’t strong enough, if anything it’s the opposite. I’m saying that we’ve gotten to the point where graphical improvement is going to be minute. That’s how far we’ve come.
Anyway, the most important thing is a unique art style and direction rather than the most beautiful game you can make. People got to know what game is what at an immediate glance.
Honestly the game looks like it plays like SF4 also and that’s a much bigger problem if you ask me. Someone mentioned how many dislikes that Taipei game show video has on youtube a while back… Average gamers are looking at those videos and think that SF5 just looks like more SF4. I hope for Capcom and DIMPS are hiding something huge right now because other than v-trigger, there hasn’t been anything interesting shown and even that isn’t anything mind blowing. Just being SF isn’t enough anymore, there needs to be a hook.
I’m hoping there’s grooves/isms.
So true, so far nothing SFV has shown looks like it will draw in the casual fan. They’ll just see a slightly a better looking SF4. SF4 has been around for 7 years, and most casuals dropped off after vanilla.
Why do people think its to much like SF4? The art style is iconic and doesn’t really need to drastically change. What do we need hyper realistic sweat detail and pulsing veins? The improvements made that people seem to ignore are just fine in my opinion, and it isn’t even a finished product yet. But I’m one of those people that still think third strike looks great so what do I know…
As far as similarities in game play, one we wont know anything until we get our hands on the open beta, and two there have been experts going out of their way to pick apart what we have so far to show that isn’t the case. Any similarities seen could be said of almost all street fighter games. “Oh look, ryu still throws hadokens, pfff so street fighter 4.” x-x… why do people have to be so negative.
Iconic artstyle?.. uh. What?
The general aesthetic street fighter has had since forever.
Some character designs are definitely iconic. I wouldn’t say the overall aesthetic is, or even say that the aesthetic has been a constant in the series.
Beyond “muscley dudes.”
I dunno, maybe I’m just not seeing it. But from like street fighter 2 onward things from the perspective of anatomy and design seem consistent and only get better as it goes. No change was so drastic as to make the series unrecognizable as street fighter and any change that would do that would be harmful. ala street fighter the movie (the game).
