SNK v cap chaos art retouched.

rarehero · May 8, 2003

sorry. i thought this big enough to put up as
a topic of its own. even though it was brought up by Rikute
in another topic.
but on the SNK v cap site they had the artist retouch
the art of the forearms!
i think its awsome. i kinda didnt understand the
art with the discoloration.
and seemed pretty niche for a game thats supposed
to reach such a wide audience.
a big thank you to PLAYMORE from me.
thanks for listening to the fans

Rikute · May 8, 2003

Yep its cool.
I was so hyped about this game (I still am

).
And then when the artwork came out I felt let down.
I thought it was really unfair of the artist/playmore to use this game to try out a new style/technique (a very weird and abstract style at that) without thinking about the fans.
Looks like we were not the only people that complained.
Thanks for listening to the fans playmore.

I did these because I was bored

Yeah, it's too bad the whiners get their way. I didnt give a shit and thought it was interesting and unique.

I guess SELFISH playmore learned their lessons from all those "fans" that will end up downloading the game anyways.

This isnt an attack, just me being dissapointed.

rarehero · May 8, 2003

i can understand that.
but i dont want the game i ve been waiting for
for a good portion of my life to have art that looks
like they have shit arms.
it was different.
and i guess i can see people take it from a symbolic
perspective. but hell.
i just want cool art for a game like this.
and i do think the art is good.
all i ve had problems with is the forearms.
which i just never could understand why they have it like that in the first place.

Kemps · May 8, 2003

Yuck! I don't remember the original arms being that akward-looking. Anyways, I'm happy the art was retouched. The art as a whole feels more complete now. Love how brutal Ryo looks. buttrock

I guess I really didnt care either... but now that I see them side by side like that. It looks like they just shoved their arms up a cows ass.

beelzebubble · May 8, 2003

i dont much give a fuck either...its artwork and will have no bearing on actual play.

that said ATTN WHINERS:

PLEASE WHINE AND GET HONFU, TUNG, SODOM OR SAKURA IN THIS GAME

thanks

Please DO NOT tamper with the sprites like you did in KOF 2002. Iori's and Yashiro's face should have NEVAH been tampered with to name a few!! Costume change?? not a problem BUT leave their FACES ALONE DAMNIT!
I am referring to the sprites.I could careless about the illustartions.
Thankyou-BB

Whoever tampered with teh original sprites should be TERMINATED,affective IMMEDIATELY!!!
The changes mad to the sprites were just horrid..I can see if they were completely overhauled! Take for example the Street Fighter World Warriors to Street Fighter Alpha series.
I loved the overhauled Zangief and the rest although I would have preferred Ryo and Ken look more rugged as they did in the World Warriors...It was still a complete overhaul and the edits that Playmore made to the sprites in KOF 2002 look like utter S____T!
I am not just waking up! Let's just say I was dozing off abit

I am not concerned about the character assault moves tweaking and different style of gameplay but one thing you don't want to do is lose your ORIGINAL DEDICATED FANBASE and thisi s what I see Playmore doing!
I HOLD OUT HOPE THOUGH that this SvC will be more than just HYPE.

Oh my God.... did hell just freeze over? You're telling me that Playmore actually listened to the people on this board? eek_2 eek! Ahem (clears throat and climbs on to his soapbox)

Please heed me: Terry Bogard had better have his Rising Tackle (non-charge version), Power Dunk and Busterwolf or there will be hell to pay!

(Climbs down from off his soapbox) crying <---whiner

Now give me!

Rikute:

Well, this artist has been trying out new styles/techniques with each of the recent installments of the KOF series. The differences with SvC are (1) the new style/technique of the darkened extremities was much more noticeable than the styles/techniques that were experimented with in the KOFs, and (2) no-one seemed to be able to explain/understand why the darkened extremities style/technique was being employed (was it symbolic? if realistic, what was the reason for the "farmer's tan?").

It is, I think, a very good sign that Playmore is willing to make at least a few minor, cosmetic changes in order to satisfy the fans. While an artist (ideally) shouldn't have to compromise the integrity of their work in order to please the masses, bear in mind that video game artists are *commercial* artists. If their work is not well-received, it has the potential to negatively impact the consumers' reception of the game to which it is attached. Personally, I hope that this artist continues to try new things with every game he's assigned, as I now look forward to seeing what strange, experimental turn his next project might take. But, at the same time, I am pleased that public opinion is being taken into account by Playmore.

subcons · May 8, 2003

At least it's good to know that Playmore is paying attention to the fans (maybe?).

This game is going to rock for us, the fans of course. But artwork does promote the game and the more new fans Playmore can draw in with this title, the better.

Oh, and I love Guile's hair in that illustration. buttrock

Rikute · May 8, 2003

Perhap I didn't make my point clear enough in my first post.

I'm all for different styles etc.
And I like the art, its good.
But the artist expressing himself or whatever by mutilating the forearms was just too extreme.

If the game was called SNK vs CAPCOM: CHAOS Battle of the Burnt Forearms
I could understand.

Anyway I'm glad its been changed. I believe the artwork of a game is very important.

Majin Geese · May 8, 2003

Indeed. Looked grea before. Looks better now. This game will own. Heh I have been waiting for it for some time. Geese better be in it... crying

about time
you are NOTICING
now

better late than never,ehi

david · May 8, 2003

I said something about the arm thing a while back...I guess some people forgot about the arms that look like they slap 2 pieces of liver on it.

BIG BEAR · May 8, 2003

Okay...
YOU DA MAN FRAN
Happy? :rolleyes:

I am still glad that the company did'nt fold altogether,I mean what would we have to
B_____ & Complain about?

Playmore let EOLITH sully the KOF series by allowing them to tamper with SNK's archives!
I mean, SH*T,If they can constantly change up the artwork illustrations ,why could'nt they take some of the time they spend there and overhaul the DAMN sprites! Oh how cheezy it was for EOLITH to rob SNK's archives(body of work) and tweak it to make it appear as if it's(EOLITH) own creation!
This SvC will be the TRUE test to see what PLAYMORE is made of!! They've hid behind two great series thus far allowing there indiscretions to be overlooked..(VERY SMART) SvC is another title with a huge rep....it will be very interesting to see how Playmore handle this one.Will they grab the sprites from KOF and use the sprites from Capcom???
Is this a horrible pattern??? Is this a game called SELL THE HYPE?

Playmore has a lot of problems, but if anything, KoF 2002 is better than KoF 2001. Right? RIGHT? You know it. However, the level of improvement for 01 to 02 is not enough to lead one to expect satisfactory outcomes from the SvC Chaos effort. Far from it. All we can do is hope that it's at least entertaining with the characters we like.

evasyar · May 8, 2003

really hoping for genjuro, moriya, setsuna, and/or akatsuki musashi on snk to make, or hayato and chris (resident evil) to on capcom side... spock

Atro · May 8, 2003

Finally the good news comes up.

The old art was lame. That guy could have been smoking crack to do such a disgusting discoloration of the characters arms. wink

Buro Destruct · May 8, 2003

Who gives a fuck about the forearms in the artwork? As long as they don't color the sprites this way and the game plays like a dream I'll be happy. Christ stop whining.

tab · May 8, 2003

am I the only one who thinks the old ones where better? All those fucking vains and crap? That was ugly, man eek!

i need some sort of reason to keep the cart
in case the game sucks. sure as hell wasnt any
reason to keep 2001. and i like AKIRA. alot.

and all you people who attributes this to whining.
fuck off.
this is my fucking 300+ dollars.
and i ll be fucking damned if someone tells me
that it should be spent on a cart with art that looks like shit.
or to be more precise. like the artist physically
dropped the characters arms in shit.
