I'll live to see you eat that contract but I hope you leave room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your God damn spine!

What... you changed movies!

You never were that smart.

Gamespot has some new screenshots and CGI models.

I like the look of the casino area, but that's mostly because it's been a while since I've seen Eggman's mug slapped all over a stage. Knowing that he's just as vein as ever is rather cool.

Hey, the CGI models actually look good. The wheathered look of the characters' shoes are a nice touch and Tails even has actual fur!

Gwilym · Post by **Gwilym** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 6:37 pm

I disagree. They all look as if they're made from styrofoam, have warped mouths, have gloves made from some kind of teflon substance, and it's just ALL VERY VERY SILLY

Ngangbius · Post by **Ngangbius** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 7:18 pm

I don't know about that. I feel that the designs are much better than the fugliness of the waxy, plastic-looking Sonic Heroes CGI models--which also seemed to have warped mouths.

Post by **Delphine** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 7:21 pm

It IS an improvement, but it still looks like airbrushed ass.

Senbei · Post by **Senbei** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 7:56 pm

Well, it certainly looks better than Heroes. God that CG art fucking sucked. But I almost wish they would make the character models based on cartoons, with, like, cel-shading, i.e. Jet Set Radio, rather than translating the already "iffy" cartoon images into CGI.

I hate how Rouge's boobs take up 50% of her torso. Without a neck, it totally throws off her appearance.

OH SHIT S/HE SAID CEL-SHADING

RUN FOR IT GUYS

Senbei · Post by **Senbei** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 8:37 pm

I knew it.

And He. For whatever future reference I may have after this.

In the future all you're gonna <i>be</i> is a reference.

They look fine to me. Really. For such a compact design, the look works.

Besides, it's more like 35%.

Whatever qualms may be had with the CG stills, I thought they looked great in motion.

BTW Where did you find the Luigi SMStrikers art Ngangbius? I've been following it due to the art being fucking awesome and I've not seen the Luigi pic.

CM August · Post by **CM August** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 12:48 am

Don't forget Daisy.

... <3

Post by **Esrever** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 2:18 am

The art really is fab. I just don't understand the reasoning behind the extraordinarily T and A-powered Daisy drawing. They seemed to have resisted the temptation with Peach.

Maybe this will be the new thing, to help differentiate between the two characters. Daisy will be the one who's a big whore!

CM August · Post by **CM August** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 2:21 am

Although the artwork seems to be at odds with the game itself, where Daisy looks like a child. Man, I wish they'd follow HAL Laboratory's example and make them look like real women.

Anyway, I don't mind Daisy's flashiness. To me she's always seemed way more active and sporty than Peach, who usually does nothing except get her pink powdered ass kidnapped.

Ngangbius · Post by **Ngangbius** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 11:49 am

Yeah, Daisy supposed to be the more Tomboy-ish of the two princess.

I found the art from a PA thread but I can't remember what site it really originated from. So I'll just post the full pic since I conviently saved it here.

That's like what I draw like, except a whole lot better and in colour.

Thanx*right click save as*=)

Oh yeah, I did get to play Strikers at PAX. I must say it was quite good, especially with 4 people playing. Generally looking forward to it. It also reminds me that I need to seek out a copy of Soccer Slam.

Umm....while looking at the renders did anyone happen to notice this?

Graphic mishap or needless addition to shoe? You decide!

CM August · Post by **CM August** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 8:04 pm

I'm gonna say graphic mishap. The texture on her glove is also three times bigger than it should be.

Really though, after checking out the initial renders of the SA characters, these aren't much of a step up. Eggman's ShTH render looks atrocious compared to the SA one.

PSMad · Post by **PSMad** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:24 pm

Well they still look better than any other renders of the Sonic lot I've seen. There a few other characters up now, namely some Black Arm characters and the G.U.N commander. He looks crap though, I'll admit that much.

Gwilym · Post by **Gwilym** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:16 pm

I've been looking at the Super Mario strikers pictures and I keep thinking that something is wrong. I really really think the picture would benefit if they cut those godawful RADICAL shaking lines that encapsulate everybody. Not the nice sketchy lines that make up the characters, just the ones that seem to be in there for no reason.

Ryan the Game Master · Thu Oct 20, 2005 10:01 pm

I have to say the CG art is the best I've seen in a Sonic game. I'm really impressed by the level of detail they put into it. That being said, I'm a bit annoyed by the error made to Amy's model, but as long as it isn't seen in actual cutscenes, it's all good.

In regards to the Mario Strikers art, it's pretty cool. I'm not suprised at how athletic Daisy looks. She's more of a tomboy than Peach is.

I'd put my money on needless addition. You can tell from the curvature of the opening and the shadow surrounding it. Furthermore, if it is a mishap, I think few people would release such a sloppy pic to the public. And Amy's probably going to be whored up to add to the badassness of the game, so she needs to look sexier. ^_^
