What are your thoughts on this artstyle?

I think her butt could look better.
Her design focuses in it quite a lot despite its strange proportions.
Seems like it could easily be fixed though.

>there are people in this thread who didn't read Masakazu Katsura manga in the 90s like Video Girl Ai, DNA Squared and Zetman

It's weird because in game she's kinda chonky in the hips and thighs.

This is precisely what a Japanese person looks like. This is not ambiguous in any way.

Nah.

The late 90s - early 00s is the best decade for anime artstyle.

It's not, it's just the armor on her chest making it look weird.

because its underage
FUCK YOU JAPAN

Gonna get a switch for this and Bayonetta 3 and luigi mansion 3

If you didn't get a switch for these games you honestly had bad taste in video games.

Yep. It could be cool with better hips.

They need the surgery and tons of makeup to look like that.

At which part does she look any older than 18?

You don't deserve a (you).

I will appreciate replies of any form.

Was it about Astral Chain

or ASStral Chain

looks like Katsura art.
And I just looked it up, it's indeed him.

Needs more rape.

I give you the girl looks Jap but the guy looks White.

How can an artsyle be obsolete? I swear, what is it with people throwing buzzwords left and right on this board

Looks better than modern anime art, at least.

Reminds me of Tiger & Bunny

No shit, Sherlock

I hope this game gets it's own direct at some point.

>Implying lesbian rape isn't superior.

>ICE
lookin forward to this game a bit more now

I kind of like the late 90s/early 2000s look of this.
Especially since it goes hand in hand with the cyberpunk cop aesthetic.
I'm going to be disappointed if this game doesnt have some of that dreamy vaporwave music in it

fuck off smoothbrain

Remember when anime had more than two archetypes for showing females? Now it's either all cute underage girls or sexy Ara Ara milfs.

You wanna give us ONE other example of something from around 2000 that looks like that?

>t. never seen a japanese woman in his life

looks can be deceiving. There is an almost 30 year old Japanese model who does modeling for children's clothes and school gear because she still looks like a 8-10 year old. I wish I could find it but sankaku's search system is worthless.

That pic is well cherry-picked, user.
You can make that kind of shit from any decade even if it's the 80 or the 70s.

Why are you so culturally insensitive you fucking racist!

Yes, but I miss the late 90s, early 00. Based Katsura. VIdeo girl ai and I"S were great.

Time passes and most of the time stuff gets shittier. Its no surprise some people would like to live in the past or at least be fond of it

Attached: feel old yet.jpg (383x610, 42K)

I love the 00s-esque artwork and Patlabor/Appleseed vibes.
It really helps distinguish this it in a sea of samey anime games.

The artist is a toku fan, his human designs aren't anything to write home about but he sure loves making monsters and power armors.

Hello again rider bro.

Even the the artist has been drawing since the 80s, makes sense for his artstyle to look like it does

It's the guy who made Zetman? Holy fuck.

Humor me and list them.

How's Video Girl Ai and I''S?
I only read Zetman and DNA2. Endings bummed me the fuck out though.

Artstyle wise that decade had come to stagnation and stability but they had more gradation thanks to hand-drawing.

Will this game allow me to deliver my OWN Justice?

Attached: 1557968969181.webm (480x320, 1.97M)

I'm fine with it

Video Girl is probably his best but I"S is too comfy. Like it literally transports you to high-school, even if you arent Japanese, the situations are very relatable. You can feel the anxiety, the horrors and joy of teenage romance. The over the top weeb stuff is kept to a minimum, its not Love-Hina. Its much grounded. It reminds you of those times when you used to feel deeper and more dramatic.

I dont give a shit anymore about romance these days, I got a decent gf long ago and we just pass the days. I"S reminds me of a time when it was a life and death matter.

Really cool if you are at least 30 yo

>t.nostalgiafag
Watch more anime without those biased goggles.

>gradation
Yeah it's called painting. Typically with markers or with water colors. It's really not that hard, you just need a full set of copic markers. And yes you can do gradation digitally as well.

It's designed by Masakazu Katsura, I dig it gonna buy it day 1 if reviews aren't horrendous.

>Readings reviews at all.

Why stuff from 15-20 years ago doesn't look that old there?

I mean, if I was in 2000 and looked back the stuff from the early 80s they would look much older than them.

Is it because of nostalgia or the pace of change is actually getting slow?

I like it but the girl looks really weird. It's the butt. It looks too tiny to try and show off like she is.

it's the latter

As if that’s a bad thing, PS2 era was apex gaming.

I have never bought a game with a below 80 score on metacritic that I liked.

I does remind me of like a B-tier action or fighter from the early 00s. Spammed brushes, weird contrast, some filtered and traced content in there, super heavy lines. Filtered backgrounds.

That's not bad, though. I don't mind it.
My bigger issue is that nothing about this image is drawing me in, seems really by the numbers and playing it safe. I need some novelty to sink my teeth into.

I like it, it's really unique and makes the game stand out in a market that tends to use very samey artstyles

ita literally just automata with more cell shading, you can tell even the engine is the same due to the glossy skin

>platinum
>small butt

Wtf have they lost their soul?

And automata reuses revengeance animation assets and is probably on the same engine as every other platinum game too. The cell shading and facial proportions are what give it is early 00s style and sets it's visuals apart.

something about it reminds me of Burning Rangers

I sat here for a few minutes thinking what does this specific poster remind me of, then I started thinking about alien sex and buddha, it hit me, this looks exactly like fucking gantz, is this poster by the same artist?

Even more pathetic.

Ever sines tumblr fell, people have been showing up with tumblr mindset all over the internet.

Bayonetta 2.

Hell no, you are the third person that thinks this is Gantz.

I liked Bayonetta. Bayonetta 2 was bad?

Bayonetta 2 was both good and not a Kamiya game.

yes bayo 2 was garbage and dont let anyone tell you otherwise

No, it’s pretty good, but the combat’s not as deep. Everything else is better, but the universal mechanics got centralized around witch time.

Was there an update or something? I've been seeing way more threads, but the release date google spits back out at me is the end of August.

>it's a if it's produced by a person it's by that person

because the anime industry is getting worse at drawing, each year the details and care for the art gets worse. and very few new artists have a good enough art style to stand out like the late 90s and the 2000s artists

Bayonetta 2 itself has nothing to do with this, is that Nintendo funded it and is exclusive to them, that is what makes people butthurt.

Nintendo actually funds amazing Platinum games. If Astral Chain is even 1/10th as good as Wonderful 101 it'll be a GOTY contender for me

Looks like something out of a korean MMO, absolutely terrible

And what makes people defend it so bad.

OP pic is the update.

Name 1 more.

Tell that to them, not me. Yea Forums massive shitposting against platinum games started the exact moment Nintendo saved Bayonetta 2 from not existing.

Before that moment, Yea Forums always kissed platinum games's foot.

So far it's been Bayo2 Bayo 3 Astral Chain and Wonderful 101. Starfox I don't think should count as it was Nintendo's game but if you feel like shitting on Platinum then I guess you could include it.

Platinum is fucking garbage. So bad their credits were removed from a fucking gacha based game

Yeah but one piece looks like shit.

You're shit.

It's not that Bayo 2 is bad but more the fact that portbeggars are still mad.

Blame console tards
Hell Platinum went to both Sony and Microsoft 1st
Both told them to fuck off.
They asked Nintendo they said yes, put bayo in smash, then offered their IPs for sexy outfits

Oh, so it is him?
I knew the art looked familiar but I haven't heard about him in so long I kind of forgot.
His art is fine but pretty samefacy, mostly on females

>Hell Platinum went to both Sony and Microsoft 1st
>still posting fake news
YIKES

I'm glad that Sony got GBF instead. The fact that it's exclusive must mean that other companies rejected their offer to fund the game.

FUCK YOU KATSURA!!!

>The fact that it's exclusive must mean that other companies rejected their offer to fund the game.
Nah, that just means Sony paid for it to be exclusive.

>GBF
Isn't a Platinum games anymore. :)
CyGames managed to pull the plug on them after they realized what hacks Platinum are.

And that is?

i was really hoping this game was a rail shooter like sin and punishment, oh well

>The fact that it's exclusive must mean that other companies rejected their offer to fund the game.
No. That's not how it works.
Platinum are commissioned to make game by a company like Nintendo, Sega or this time (formerly) Cygames. That would mean that Sony only paid for exclusivity rather than funding the game.

They did
Hell Platinum got burned by Microsoft twice
Scalebound and bayonetta 2
Sony wasn’t interested
Get fucked

>They did
Nope

It's a Kamiya game, there's a 95% chance there'll be rail shooter segments. The man's Space Harrier boner cannot die down.

>It's a Kamiya game
It's not, he's just an irrelevant supervisor on it.

Can you blame him though? Space Harrier is the best.

Is not, he is just a supervisor.

And you really think he won't "supervise" the addition of Space Harrier segments?

Op is retard and doesn't know how to star a thread otherwise, give him a break

can we stop this meme? are you all so fucking braindead that you aren't able to properly read the roles of three (3) people credited in the trailer?

>Sony wasn’t interested
of course they weren't

imagine the amount of light rays they'd have had to put in the game to censor bayo's outfits and poses

Bayo 2 ain't bad chief, too bad you are too retarded to either set up cemu or buy a cheap Wii u

Either it will be a 8.5/10 that ages poorly or a 7/10 that ages fine

there are way more than that

Thankfully that won't be a problem because PS5 will have real-time raytracing.

No, I think he actually not doing a shit and they just put his name for PR.

>Futuristic firefighters
>Futuristic cops
It's the tokusatsu influences, that's why they feel similar

Again, the problem what drive people insanely mad wasn't Bayonetta 2 itself, It was the fact it is a Nintendo exclusive. Is just THAT.

>Henshin sequence to activate the powers
Yeah, Kamiya is definitely not putting his stuff on it, not at all, there won't be a Space Harrier sequence in the game at all, trust me user, he's just a supervisor with no influence over the game

>believing that Kamiya will have any major influence on the game after his fuckup with Scalebound
Tell me user, which games is he directing right now? :)

>Air Gear was 17 years ago

Is this... some kind of terrible mistake, right?

If you have a job, then why would be wrong still being here?

Because money only started flowing in the anime industry by the mid-late 80s.
Everything from the early 80s and prior looks dated and 97% of it is animated poorly.

The change of pace is slower now because the same amount of money is flowing through the industry for decades leading to less innovation.

Hope we will get some new stuff for E3.
This game looks hella dope and will make the wait for Bayo 3 a bit smaller.

So which decadal transition made the biggest change for anime artstyle in the past 50 years?

79 to 89 objectively.
The mid-80s is when otaku finally started entering the industry, there's a clear evolution in artstyle from the 80s, 90s, 00s to 10s. However the 70s and 60s don't really resemble the 80s and onwards.

Franx problem is that is was the Guilty Crown of the Mecha Genre. cliche on top of cliche that only reached hyped due to social media marketing

And aside from some 3 niche mangaka I mentioned (Naku, Umezu, and Masato) all of these artists have popular, prolific works, and I thought of 'em off the top of my head. Katsura's only real stand-out is his appeals to idealized realism in his art, but plenty of other artists before and after him have done the same.

Well, it has been 5 years and nothing.
