Skyward Sword = Artistic graphics king 2011?

Meh I think Arkham City, Dark Souls, Dead Space, Assassin's Creed etc all have better art direction on top of the obv much better technical graphics. There's nothing appealing to me about the way the new Zelda looks and it makes me a bit sad.

Let your hatred for the game go once and for all. Do you seriously have to hate all the aspects of Skyward Sword to piss of the sheep.No sheep acts like that anyway. Maybe they see something in the artstyle of the game that you have a hard timeseeing. You haven't really seen the artstyle yet probably on your own TV.

It looks awful. How convenient that the artstyle they chose for this game blurs every texture in the game. "Bu- But it looks like a painting!"

Oh and the characters are *** ugly.

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] No no no no but it's LIKE A PAINTING SO IT'S OMGZ THE ART****!!!!lightleggy

Not sure what u mean. A movie has art direction (pretty sure there's an Oscar for it). And yet a movie has "perfect" technical graphics. The games I listed in my first post all have distinct art direction. Or do u have guys like these running around the streets where u come from?

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] No no no no but it's LIKE A PAINTING SO IT'S OMGZ THE ARTSTYLEZ!!!!lightleggy

Stop pulling rules and definitions out of your ass.

There is nothing saying a game that has good technical graphics can't have good artistic graphics. Witcher 2 has amazing artistic visuals, that are also very technically proficient.

They aren't mutually exclusive.

That's not true. And I LOVE Zelda, as much as anyone on this board.

But this game looks awful in every possible area. I won't get excited for it just because it's Zelda.

And as for the visuals, well the galaxy games look fantastic on the wii, so the problem isn't that it's on the wii.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] LOL yeah I agree it's pretty silly. Speaking of paintings, the winners of art direction polls are almost always "hand painted" 2D-games like Machinarium, Braid, Limbo etc. They are cool looking games, but come on!with_teeth26

If you're going to hate the gamestop exaggerating what the sheep say.

I'm not an art guy, so I ask, isn't there some kind of guideline to this? Becasue everytime I see these arguments about artistic graphics it seems it's all about the most cartooney, or the most bright colored, and apparently something that closely or nearly depicts reality is something that has zero art to it.

Meh, is subjective, don't overthink it.

You did't pick very good screen shots but anyway. Skyward Sword is my graphics king of the year

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] because those are actually ARTISTICAL graphics, not TECHNICAL. people keep confusing "ART STYLE" with "ARTISTICAL GRAPHICS". The artstyle in deus ex is sepia, thats why the whole game is pretty much just yellow and orange. that does not mean that deus ex has artistical graphics. batman, dark souls, dead space and assassins creed do not have artistical graphics, they are technical graphics. the art style varies but they are technical graphics.lightleggy

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] You realize someone had to sit down and design the look of the game and all of the characters? That's called artistic design. Every game has it including call of duty. Saying that only games with designs like Limbo or Braid have a right to be called artistic is ignorant and close minded.

Bread_or_Decide

I just see you being butthurt, but I dont complain about that. you are saying that the graphic style of TW2 is artistical because it takes an artist to make them...going by that logic every game could be nominated for artistical graphics since you know...they all take a graphic artist to be made.

From the comments in SW you would get the impression that this isn't art:

absolutely not. Witcher 2, portal 2, rayman origins etc etc are all stronger artistically.

Now what do I win?

Yes! Make a game that looks like it was meant for the PS2, and then we call it artistic graphics king!

Sigh...

I would say so. I love the look of the game, it is beautiful.

Toss up between the witcher 2 and capsized for me.

Rayman Origins has the artistic graphics covered this year. Skyward Sword looks nice, but the quality is inconsistent. Some areas look great, and others not so much.

The Skyward Sword images look good as do most of the other images. I don't have much taste in art. But I make attempts to try every once in a while:

I'm surprised no one has posted UC3 images yet. I love the ornate details on some scenes.

Do you call this a good Artistic style...??:lol:

The game looks nothing like that on my wii and hd tv, Zelda SS looks like crap. Nice job posting screens from a pc emulator

Bulletstorm is a good looking game, it's just a shame that reading those captions reminded me of why I have no interest in it.
