How do you feel about games that drastically shift from a specific art-style to something more realistic?

I stop caring about them

Sure but in a more respectable way.

>drastically
It's been decades.

Top SOVL

bottom soulless

Atleast Cloud still looks like Cloud. Sora looks like another Noctis discount.

meh, for kingdom hearts shifting artstyles are a part of the lore
makes sense if Sora is stuck in an alternate reality, though I hope it's not a permanent thing

Depends on what the game was, what the original art style was, and what the new game in the series is. Zelda TP took realism in a good approach while WW looked ugly and stupid.

kinda ironic because

realism looks gross

It's probably a for a RL movie

I don't think Cloud really looks like himself anymore then he did in AC.

Sora ultra realistic sucks.
Cloud is barely passable

top left evolved nicely into FFX where it subsequently peaked having its rise in VIII whilst a brief reprise in IX to, im my view prelude some of the design choices for KH. Today its very uncanny because its the same style that was popular in the turn of the millenia and its now thrust into the modern lense and just looks out of place.

That looks like a fuckin tweaker skull how do they make that into an anime femboy ..?

I think more and more people are coming to realize their favorite game main characters were always chinks and it’s hitting their reality pretty hard to cope now.

holy shit

That basically means Noctis looks like Cloud.

That is still identifiably Cloud. There is nothing to identify Sora besides the stupid necklace. The hairstyle change was retarded in 3 and it is still retarded now no matter how they try to justify it

yeah, i'm sure that's all it means and literally nothing else

It's the obvious evolution to squareenix being obsessed with the anime realism style

Everyone looks the fucking same now

We don't even know if sora is gonna keep this look. He might just look like this in this world. For all we know the style could go from this back to is this back to more cartoony.
On top of that it's the very first trailer. Sora looked WORSE in his first kh3 trailer... so they still have touching up too do.

sorry lookin japanese as fuck in that pic. i wanna put him in a dress

What could possibly go wrong.

all they had to do was use Dissidia Cloud but at least Cloud looks the same besides hair, Sora is unrecognizable without the necklace

There's literally no reason not to just reuse and edit a character mesh though. You can cut down the time it takes to make a new one by a shitload with the results looking the exact same. Every game company does this, I bet you could find that same base mesh used for other NPC's as well.

>Sora's a femboy now
Well fuck

sora always looked feminine as hell

>now

I think that we should thank Nomura for giving us more sexy and cute vidya boys.

Thank you Nomura!

>realistic
going from looking like weird PS1/2 anime to weird PS4/5 anime isn't realistic. best case scenario you can say they look like a photoshopped promotional image of a kpop idol after their 17th round of plastic surgery

Looks like Square hired that man. He's been getting around.

lets hope they rip his model and make sora suck clouds dick

WHY ARE THEY ALL CHINLETS

It is really mostly these old japanese long running franchises doing it and its because they want to compete with the west. Also it would be fine if it wasn't so overdone like it is now. KH however is way too jarring for me. This is a series that is supposed to be about high fantasy and now look at it.

I wanna kiss Sora

An ugly low poly CG render or an idealized version of a real person. OMG what a sophisticated choice.

It looks bad, not in-game, but on the company. It shows the cheap nature of something. Imagine if a new line of coffee mugs was coming out and it was advertised as a better-looking, high tech version of the previous cup. Then it turns out the overall design was different, but they used the exact same material for the cup. Good for business economics, but it shows how cheap and dishonest you're willing to be. Makes sense because Square went through two other studios before deciding they'd do the remake themselves, so I imagine they wanted to cut corners where they could. Hence also the incomplete and nonsensical story.

I'm gonna be honest, I thought that realistic Sora was fake. He doesn't even look like the original character, he looks like a cosplayer.

I think both of these actually do a good job of making the characters somewhat realistic while still being recognizable.
Despite the drastic shift in style you can still tell it's the same nose and face shape, just with more or less detail depending on hardware and style.
It was also something I thought was impressive about DMC5, where the character faces still looked like themselves after the style switch.
I guess the japanese are just more autistic about stuff like this than western devs.

>generic looking city and buildings

Wooooow so creative.

Realistic Dante has existed since 2003 ,many more years to perfect than realistic Sora

i don't get it. sora looks the same face wise. he just has fuckboy hair now

Is that pink lipstick?

Why you people here have so little imagination and so small iq that you cant imagine cartoon characters in a more realistic look? Both characters look as they should

holy shit sora is asian?!?

Considering his name is fucking SORA then yes, I'd think so.

Nah he is teen Alain Delon,he is french 100%

You would know right

Deep brows, square jaw, cloud or sora have none of these facial features and look like chinks. You a face blind autist.

Schizo. People actually in the business praise it as efficient development, so do artists. The public doesn't think of anything because it doesn't look like noctis at all. It's just this stupid fucking board that rates quality by needless effort put it for zero return to show they are not le lazy devs, you retards believe that after any game is released its assets should be burned into the ground for the sake of maintaining some sort of ideal of artistic integrity that doesn't resemble any kind of workflow, but no one here ever held a job so it's not like you would know

Here have Cloud too lol.

My first thought. He looks like somebody cosplaying as Sora.

Fuck realism and fuck realism fags

If you like realistic visuals in games you are a fucking normalfag and need to remove yourself from the hobby as soon as possible, games used to be an escapist medium where we could find refuge from the shitty boring reality normalfags made but now they infested it and are bringing their shitty hollow reality along with them because they're NPCs who can't cope with anything else
