Wow why did no one tell me we got a new battle toads at e3...

Colours aren't all that great, art clashes and animations are too choppy.

This E3 was like the end of Game of Thrones. Rare ended up controlling the whole map.

Holy shit fuck off

Western animation has been plagued with this jagged Newgrounds tier shit ever since Dexter's Laboratory sharted onto the world stage decades ago.

However, there is a rising sea change. With easier access content from the past, people realise they're getting screwed with respect to quality.

There will be a revolt against this art style in the next decade. One that returns us to beautiful fluid and volumetric animation. It will begin with the Looney Tunes:

Oh kek. And you sure saw pass turbotunnel and totally played Battlemaniacs or Arcade Game.

Look back at history now is not the only time that we have a dark age of animation. Look at animation in the 60s when Hanna Barbara was dominating. Though at least they had writing, and iconic characters to carry shows with mediocre animation. I don't think we even have much to boast about now.

I think it looks great

It looks fucking retarded. When they teased it last year I thought it was going to be a sidescroller platformer like the first game but instead it's some soi facsimile of double dragon x battletoads

That would be too much work otherwise. Just another indicator of many just in the trailer that this game shouldn't be getting made. Why are they going through with this. Long time fans are smart enough to notice the contempt for the IP.

This is a rare game who cares if Xbox fanboys hate it, seems like the rare fans like it. Why would I go to a Xbox YouTube channel to watch a trailer for a rare game

If you think the new battletoads looks like shit, you might be an incel

Battletoads have been always a shitty parody of TMNT
Same way the original battletoads have been a parody of the 80s TMNT, these toads are a parody of the shitty rise of the tmnt

That's not calarts by any definition. Calarts doesn't mean "generally contemporary" considering at it's peak of influence, we got Disney's 90s animation.

>more than 50% dislikes
if Microsoft had half a brain, they'd take your shitty little flash game out behind the shed and put it down

500 to 300 hundred that’s fine I am sure some trolls are disliking it using Russian hackers that’s why the Russian is popping up everywhere

Microsoft literally gave the project to a no-name company with only a mediocre game released prior to working on Battletoads. Goes to show you how much they care about the IP.

>The style itself isn't bad for a contemporary remake
Battletoads is the last thing on earth that needs to be "contemporary", the series always was a parody/homage of the extreme eighties to early nineties totally radical comics and cartoons, taking most out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Battletoads prized itself in remaining like that, it would never be "modern". Every other company that got the toads as cameos in their games know that, Double Helix in Killer Instinct and Yacht Club in Shovel Knight, both faithfully adapted the Battletoads in their games, there's no excuse for what this new game is trying to come off as now.

I’m not talking about censoring games. Im talking about cancelling it and starting from the ground up with a studio that actually suits Battletoads.
Because numbers don’t lie, and they show that more people hate this garbage than like it. That’s just logic.

why didnt microsoft just hire the cuphead guys to animate this

Rash in Killer Instinct was a good example on how you homage an IP you own. Nu-Battletoads is the result of a publisher which doesn't care enough about the IP and decides to "resurrect" it half-reluctantly.

But April is fine tho (I mean shit, she was black in the original comics)

Where have you been? Everybody hated it.

She was never black except in one guest issue the whole she was originally black meme started because she got a fucking perm

The funny thing is that more closely resembles real censorship than the latest Yea Forums controversies.

So what they did to the Queen isn’t censorship in the slightest?

It could have to do with the fact that SoR4 is made by people who are not only talented, but were also fans of the original games, while little nu-Battletoads is made by diversity hires.

Everyone in the game retains their design (save for shitty fucking art style) but only the queen gets a drastically new overhaul, removing everything that made her recognizable as a character?
Sure buddy. I totally believe you.

Kinda odd that you can change the entire art style and designs of everyone, remove the bara sumo moob rat, and give everything a different feel, but if you change the boobs it's censorship. Following the idea that angry twitter mobs "forcing" change in the industry is censorship, Yea Forums "forcing" devs to abandon their change is also censorship.

I've been on Yea Forums since 2004. It's fun seeing kids trying to get political with stupid shit. At least I hope you're kids.

Nolan's Batman trilogy is celebrated as one of the best superhero adaptions and there were many changes made. One was Catwoman and her signature hotness. There were no cries of censorship.

That artstyle predated Dexter's lab by 4 decades

I still think people like that artist are retarded as soon as people started posting that pic the devs handwaved any and all criticism saying we are only mad cause she is not sexy.

What we should have done is just redrawn the redesign to not look like shit but no everyone thinks they will bring back the classic dark queen

the whole game needs a do-over visually.
the sex appeal thingy can be toned down if you want. still could look good if the art wasn't butchered.
off of Yea Forums, no, this whole website btw, nigger.
have this pitiful (You), shill.

Both are aesthetically disgusting but nuContra at least doesn't look like a flash game and will probably be entertaining for longer.
nuToads just looks like another generic beat-em-up that refuses to leave the 5th gen.

It was about her lack of hotness though. The style itself is different, but the internet spurges out about less, especially since it's been so long since the last game. It was an iconic meme game that wasn't as fun as others like it and people were content to leave it behind until someone messed with the waifu we completely forgot about.

You mean Uprising? The one with that bland animu art style?

That game was pretty shitty, I'm sure this new Battletoads will at least be a fun game.

>but it seems live everyone likes it
>if any real fans want to discuss the game the devs have a discord server

Fuck off shills.
Come back with a good style and a non sjw battletoads that completely changes designs because women = bad.

Well some skullgirls freelancers offered to work on it but we’re turned down idk why could have been money or their style not meshing well.

Not Alex ahad of course but the freelancers who they hired for that game

The problem is you have to get over it, I am by no means a sjw I just mean they ain’t going to change her back ever so we should focus on what they will change which is the art style I can accept burka queen if the art was not vomit inducing

If you censor original content you're shitting on the movement that women that actually cared about actual rights created.

Women fought for centuries to have the right to dress how they want and you dumb retards want it them to wear burkas, while at the same time claiming it's because feminism.
While actual feminists were working to be able to vote and doing huge strikes and movements and taking abuse decades ago, fat landwhales now call themselves "modern feminists" as they do nothing but type stupid crap on twitter all day while drinking star bucks, trying to erase all the progress these actual hard working women did.
You're fucked in the head and you're a disgrace.

You only take the mantle of feminist because you're fucked in the head and have never gotten anywhere in life, being part of the "new feminists" makes you feel like you belong in a group and gives you attention for once in your life, so every single dumbass in this group will follow and chase anything their authorities tell them to like a rabid pack of dogs.

Changing isn't censoring since censoring depends on intent. The detail in the Battletoad and enemy muscle tone got removed in favor of "calarts" simplicity, but that's not censorship to you for some reason. Sometimes people fuck up designs along the way of making something what they think is hip and contemporary. The DQ looks worse now, don't get me wrong.

No, just the neon 80s vaporwave aesthetic of the internet.

The Dark Queen is basically the female equivalent of Bowie's Goblin King. Their overt sexuality is part of the design to contrast with the hideousness of their lackeys and immaturity of the protagonists. You don't just replace them with a shovel-faced nobody in a button up shirt. People who think it needs to be fixed can't understand that awkward emotional phase of life and would prefer to ignore it or attack anybody who brings it attention.

Based retard. The HB age was low quality animation sure, but it was full of SOUL. A majority of franchises that are still going strong to this day began during that time. The small budget of each cartoon allowed them to create simple yet visually impactful character designs which still provide proper example of effective design today.

Exactly this. This is the worst of the problems about this game since it directly affects gameplay. When i saw the trailer i was completely confused on what was happening during the gameplay. The toads just blend with everything else, its a complete clusterfuck.

That's what was said. I mean dudes enjoy playing as hot female characters and I don't think they get excited about them because they identify with them.

*That's not what was said.

Observe the much adored and venerated character from the Rayman series, introduced in Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Polokus, in his original incarnation on the left of this image.

He just oozes soul, with a hat clearly tailored for some sort of magician despite the character not having any other magician like aesthetic traits, an atmospheric set of pants and a charming lack of a t-shirt, indicating to us, the mesmerised audience that he, the dreaming, powerful thing in Rayman, is often in scenario's that don't require a T-Shirt, like being in a bed and going to sleep, It's pragmatic, functional and tells us clearly, exactly what sort of being Polokus is supposed to be, and exactly what sort of role he has to play.

Look at his long arms, those are the long arms of an entity that reaches beyond the means of lesser creatures, us, the mortals. We are dealing with a beast that can physically alter reality through its own dreams, and that straight line mouth and eccentric choice for pupils just adds to that "dream" like quality.

Now observe "Polokus" as he is seen in Rayman Origins, a game I think rudely abandons the enduring classic visual identity of the Rayman series.

Firstly, he has a great long, creepy beard that has no place on a clean shaven dreaming entity, as that manner of facial hair would cause at least some minor irritation whilst sleeping, then look at his eyes, those are the typical "Soulless", "Beady", black eyes, it's as if they were actually trying to make him look this way. Look at the top of his head, look at his lips, there's no magician's hat, there's just a tuft of orange hair, we didn't even know if Polokus had hair in Rayman 2, he was just that mysterious and ethereal, and those lips are stretched into the most simian gormless spread I've ever witnessed. Fuck. And then there's the extraneous details, oh what, an umbrella, a pipe, some pillows? A pedestal?

The point is, the original Polokus didn't need those, and he did just fine.

Look at how similar these posts are. This is what peak NPC looks like

>"what aesthetic should we go for in this update to an old gritty arcade slugfest?"
>"how about clean and overly colorful, cheap-ass flash animation?"
>"PERFECT!"

Then it wasn't a dark age.

That's just reddit spacing.

Badasses who scream and look cartoony? They look fucking friendly in their neutral poses.

It might not be censorship but it definitely is a 5min doodle art that even a toddler can draw and I cant stand it
