"Man, Nintendo always does the same thing with Mario, why won't they try something different?" *Nintendo tries something different with Mario* "No, not like that." How about we not pass judgement on something that we don't know how far along in development it is, and without knowing the context of what we are seeing?…
It looks really good to me. I think every Mario game sounds like it'll be an illogical mess, but they make it work. I don't plan on getting a Nintendo Switch, though. Video for the lazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kcdRBHM7kM
and this is the official nintendo forums then? and even if it was what JordanN said is still true. they are a gigantic company making a product. not someones kid making macarony pictures. if you make a commercial product, you cant take criticism of that product personally. or you can, but its not the audiences…
Nintendo is a billion dollar company. It's their job to convince people why they should ultimately like their game including all the art/graphics that comes with it. While I personally wont refer to other games/art like that, I wont exactly lose sleep over it (especially when "trash" will end up making bank for them…
I cant help but feel nintendo have lost their way. Less and less a cohesive IP and more and more random, uninspired nonsense. They could have transformed the world of mario we've had into something truly magical, taking what was previously just backdrop and reinventing it for exploration, opening it up for both new fans…
I admit I was upset when I wrote it, upset at a lot of things Nintendo is doing right now. I admit it didn't pick the best words out of frustration it just looks really bad to me I expect way more from them I was just as upset when I saw mighty number 9. I'm not commenting anymore on this discussion this has become…
Yeah well the OP was bad with words, but the rest of the topic can either spend energy calling him out on it, derailing the entire potentially useful conversation about art, or you can just get deep into the art. My problem with it is visual inconsistency and lack of confidence. This isnt about graphical fidelity, its…
He didn't go to a pancake restaurant though. Polycount isn't nintendo's design room, and frankly i'd be disappointed if a community of game artists DIDNT critique and dissect every aspect of this game's aesthetic and discuss in detail why it's caused the reaction it has. What were their intentions? did they fail? Some…
Interesting way to look at it. I don't see it as an implication that nintendo is above criticism so much as using words like 'hot trash' to describe the work as being, quite frankly, douchey. It's disrespectful and really has nothing to do with saying a company or their game cannot or shouldn't be criticized. it's…
Assuming everybody here is a profesional artist, an aspiring artist or at least someone who loves and cares about game art and this industry, I think we can discuss Mario's art without calling it "trash". It's not about nintendo being above criticism imo, It's just about showing some respect for all the artists who are…
