Games that change their art styles

What are some games that had a jarring art style change other than DmC devil may cry or Wind waker?

...

webm or fuck off

Twilight Princess, which introduced muted colors and too much bloom, but retained the freakish character designs of Wind Waker. It's a textbook example of why it's a bad idea to compromise on art direction. There's many things wrong with this game, but art direction tops the list, easily.

Where's the webm, you double nigger. I don't want to see your shitty channel.

KoF XIII to KoF XIV, but it's very understandable on why the art direction had to change. It was either change the art or not make the game/have a pathetically small roster.

dubs or webm

god damn it this reminds me of some funny shit on jewtube channel from maybe two or three years ago where this 40 year old dude named Mitch or Steve or whatever who does really lazy drawing tutorials by request and the funny part is they are fucking absolutely garbage. For example he has a how to draw Goku and a self portrait of himself as a Supper Sayan. Similar to video related but not a parody and the guy sits on camera. I also think if I recall correctly that he does request videos so people where trolling him by sending him absurd request. But I cant remember the dude for the life of me.

Uhhh

I think it was "Change or go nearly bankrupt again"

this is supposed to be the same character.

Isn't pic 2 supposed to be a descendant of pic 1?

Reminds me of the Muscle Elf

I find it cool that the main artist for Fairly Oddparents likes videogames and draws characters in his own artstyle.

A prequel!?

...

I actually kinda like the character designs in TP, It looks wrong and weird in almost an Alice in wonderland sorta way. The textures are garbage though.

...

...

Paper Mario has a different artstyle in every game. In the original each character was on one sheet, in TTYD different features are on different sheets and they turn independently. Super Paper Mario is more flat and clean, and Color Splash treats everything as actually being made of paper.

AIDS

Wow that looks like hot garbage.

Are these elves or was the game made by the people who did Landstalker and Ladystalker? Climax, the original Shining Force people.

Yeah it was basically a sequel in all but the name. As far as I can remember there were Elves (dreamwalkers) and Humans.
Great game.

It was a sequel to what? Landstalker?

...

never played fable 3. outside of the horrible load issues, was it any good?

Final act's story and art is neat, everything else is shit. Don't bother playing it, it's just a much worse Fable 2.

The series is molnyeux's magnum opus
why does anyone care?

It felt like the whole game was leading up to something…and then it didn't happen. You spend most of it gaining power/allies, then you become king, spend a literal in-game year making a few decisions and then fight a final battle. That's it. It would have been so much better if it actually lead up to you commanding soldiers around and actually getting involved in battles. Instead it just ends.

It's just the animator for cartoons like Fairly Odd Parents doing request videos. Nothing to get worked up over.

Has there ever been a more cancerous art transition than this one?

...

Generic, but passable anime to mobile app garbage. Nice.

...

Butch Hartman is a hack.

...

I think the point is to make the characters more memorable.

I don't know the exact term, "iconic" or whatever.

Thankfully, Unreal Tournament 4 is steering far away from this bullshit.

Note that Digimon World 1 to 3 are all on the same system, the Playstation 1, yet vary widely in style

Xrd is a waste of its own technology. Could you imagine if it had, I dunno, good animation, writing, art style, and holy fuck GOOD GAME PLAY?!?!?!
No, fuck you we get waifus and decent but immemorable music (and horrid writing!).

But it does, salty robonigger.

If anything, Xrd is just a good example of what kind of effect proper shading can have.

I think they just paid an Indian.

nigger what are you smoking

Only good in porn

Not canon anymore, but Ebisumaru was cursed to be a fat ugly man.

Matrix Software is ex-Climax Entertainment. They're still around, but for a while got stuck as Square's mobile port bitch, and their most recent game for an actual system (having climbed out of port bitch hell) isn't something any western publisher seems to want to touch, let alone mention.

Does this count?

This one.


Don't forget Atomic Bomberman. It's another westernized variant, although one I confess to playing the shit out of back in its day. The animations were cool too, and there is a lot of unused content on disc to look through, some quite rude.

...

He's smoking whatever Capcom is smoking which makes people allergic to good fighting games and art direction.

Left: Judy Nails in the last Guitar Hero game that Harmonix made
Right: Judy Nails in the first Guitar Hero game that Neversoft made
as soon as Harmonix lost the franchise, it started selling like crazy

I think the new artsyle fits the game better though.

fuck off

keep your shit opinion in your ass where it belongs

Even outside of the literal PS2-era graphics, the zones for

jesus christ…..

Reported for being illiterate.

what was even the point.

Oh, I remember now.
The only kicks I got out of this game was whoring out and giving AIDS to the niggers.
Good times.

I really liked the original smash bros art style, and wish they had kind of stuck to its less serious, more fun and cartoony mashup-style, at least artistically.

Now its's just bright colors on a clusterfuck of an artstyle.

Seem like it had a random budget

Looks like the same people that redid Spyro got a hold of her.
