My god, the game is beutiful. Everything from the bouncing leaning buildings, to the way the rest of the enviroment moves with the music, its amazing. To bad I can't say the same for the gameplay.
How can a game like that be artistic? I mean it might have good graphics, but artistic? The played out, generic gansta/thug look is the opposite of innovative artistic design.
[QUOTE="osusfaith"]How can a game like that be artistic? I mean it might have good graphics, but artistic? The played out, generic gansta/thug look is the opposite of innovative artistic design. Have you actually played the game? It is incredibly artistic how everything moves with the music.
I enjoyed FFNY and was excited when I saw the screenshots of Icon, but after seeing gameplay vids I was VERY disappointed with what EA did with the game. I'll check out the demo tonight, but from what I have been seeing in the forums it looks great but doesn't play very well at all. damn you EA. As for this topic... I really don' t agree with the "artistically better than 95% of games out there" statement.

Yes, the whole gangsta theme is pathetic, but the game has a "street" type design along with wash out color effects that makes it look amazing. One of the most impressive things I've seen in a while.

Gangsta/thug isn't anything new as far as themes go it is the flavor of the month but it has a "look" just like anything else that can be displayed artistically. Graffitti for example (Jet Grind Radio), urban life when displayed correctly can be artistic, just like any other culture.

Im an artist and Def Jam is def one of the top games going in the way of artistry. I was simply amazed at the level of detail they put in this game. After all the makers of FNR3 made this so yeah...Zelda is NOT artistic in the way you try to sell it. Artistic doenst only mean a bloom effect on the game. I dont see how you can name zelda but not Def JAm. Perhaps its because its a bunch of rappers (who you probably despise) fighting with music you dont like. Face it. You dont know what aristic is if you say this isnt. You have no idea what art is anyway so please stop.

I agree, it does have a unique graphically artistic flavor. But art is relative to the beholder. Some people have different tastes in art.

I can tell you have a thing against either rap of even black people. Its not about art admit it. You just dont like that game because its rap. And rap scares you. It makes you cringe. Im an artist and I do go to an art college. One of the best in the nation. So I know art when i see it. And contrary to what you think this game is artistic especially in its sense of realism. Which realism is probably 75-80 percent of art today. If I showed this game to my professors they'd be amazed at everything. The effects, the details, the movements. On the other hand you are simply judging the game on hip-hop influence rather than ART.

I've played most of the FF released, and every game you listed for that matter (except BD) and they are bland, generic, and passe. there is nothing special about the look of any of those games at all.
Def Jam is only artisitc in the sense that it's a musical group, whom are "artists" via their songs and style of music. Art is however all in the form of one's mind. Def Jam doesn't do anything "innovative" in the art sense. The game uses the same thug like gritty sense you see in all games of it's types. However I've seen better style, in the same tone and manner as this, but they have unique flavors added, that seperate it from the pack. That's the problem, this game doesn't do it like that. But then again, no one could say it's NOT artistic, but I certainly don't see it's art form being anything ORIGINAL. The background swaying and bumping to the music is a nice technical feature, but really is nothing that would be considered "artisitc" or "innovative" as it's been done before. It's just a nice "touch."

Sense when does something have to be innovative to be classified as art? If the art periods taught us anything was that most art was a reproduction of what was already done....just saying something different.

Show me a piece of art today that is completely original....Well, it's a nice looking game graphically. I won't deny that it is "art" as well. However, for me I consider a WHOLE game as art. I know that it has many "artistic" designs in it, like music, character modeling, landscaping/evnironment, game design, etc. But as a whole entire view, which is how I personally view games as "art" I see just the same I've seen before. Now I'm not one to say that it's not totally generic. The level desing, the characters themselves, and the music all fit the type well, and yet look better than even those it is compared to. The lighing, the clothing, the scenarios, and all that really give the game it's own feel. That's just from watching, but I don't see much new in terms of gameplay, which I believe can be argued in itself as art, because this interactive experience is looking nothing too original. The new "turntable" feature is an adequate addition, but I'll wait more to see how it really handles out. So as a whole, the game to me looks good visually, the music while not my preference is certainly "artistic" cause I'll give it credit. I can't do rapping, lyrics, and things like they do, and I know it reaches ot some people. However, as a whole, being a game, I see it "good" and perhaps nothing more. But keep in mind, I'm waiting for the game to release and see how it plays more so. That's how I judge my games. P.S.

[QUOTE="osusfaith"]Am I the only person who finds this series as a whole hysterical? These guys wrestling/doing martial arts? Without guns? It's basically Shaq Fu, you realize that right?of course the whole premise of the game is a huge joke. i could care less about a bunch of self proclaimed "thugs". but the games other merits make this a truely unique and interesting game. thats alot more than i can say for most games to have come out in recent memory.
It's a 3D Smash Bros., but with rappers instead of Nintendo characters. It will be a great game. The people who are criticising it, for the most part, seem to have absolutely no knowledge of the new gameplay mechanics.
My god, the game is beutiful. Everything from the bouncing leaning buildings, to the way the rest of the enviroment moves with the music, its amazing. To bad I can't say the same for the gameplay. ninjaxams
I think I'll have to agree on just about everything you said. I do however find the whole "gansta" theme nothing but lame.
