Support NeoGAF

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Finally some good press for MvC:I.
Still waiting on news of Dante lol.
edit: left side is the fixed model.

 

[LordKano]

I can't tell which Chris face is supposed to be the fixed one.
EDIT : Unless both of them are ? They still look bad tho.

 

[Guymelef]

Dante is sad.

 

[Kyoufu]

Looks much better now imo.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

Dante is sad.

He looks like a junkie.

 

[LiK]

Yea, way improved. Hope the Story Mode presentation is improved too altho I doubt it.

 

[Spinky]

Dante's already been updated slightly.

Best we're gonna get.

 

[E_Darkness]

They didn't fix Chris' face enough. It's not what it should be

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Changed is the more appropriate term.

The originals weren't broken to begin with.

 

[Reverend Funk]

He looks like a junkie.

I thought I saw a fixed image of him but I might be misremembering.

 

[Kyne]

give me Dante or give me death

 

[Duchess O'Death]

I don't know about ""Fixed" so let's stick with "Changed".

 

[kewlmyc]

It's not the best, but it is better. I'm satisfied at least.

Fix my boy Dante though. Dude looks like he's only in this game to find his dealer.

EDIT: So they fixed him too. Cool. I would say fix Frank West next, but I don't really care all that much. Also hope they also fixed Tony Stark's face.

 

[Lulubop]

give me Dante or give me death

He's fixed too

 

[moltonasty]

Yea but the roster still sucks ass tho..

 

[SAB CA]

It's good they've been updated.

Capcom is a company that normally smashes you over the head with very well-realized, bizarre styles. MVCI is much more lukewarm in this respect. The further you get away from gameplay, the more the product looks like it could be made by just about any decent studio, stylistically.

Yet I wonder if this will actually work in it's favor? It's obvious that the masses don't care about strong, individual styles... they care about images clearly stating "this is a soldier" or "this is a specific pistol". This is probably the most "Netherrelm" a Capcom fighter has ever looked... and for a set of gamers, that might make this a lot more approachable.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Finally some good press for MvC:I.
Still waiting on news of Dante lol.

Which ones are the original?

 

[Kyne]

He's fixed too

that's fixed?

he looks like

 

[lucebuce12]

I honestly can't tell if people here are just being facetious or if people are blind. There is clearly an improvement.

 

[Lulubop]

that's fixed?

he looks like

Yea, no.

 

[Gitaroo]

Which ones are the original?

Lol exactly, changed but still just as bad. Surprised the recycling master didn't copy and paste the same model from SFV, that chun li looks a billion times better.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

I mean, it's better, but it still hasn't beat a game that came out eight years ago.


2017:

2009 (Resident Evil 5):

 

[godhandiscen]

I can't tell which is the fixed model. The art style just doesn't translate the original Anime models.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dante is sad.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Dante's already been updated slightly.

Best we're gonna get.

MvCI Dante still doesn't look like DMC Dante tho.

 

[O Canada Our Home and Native Land]

Someone start a gofundme so we can hire a professional character modeler for Capcom. They can't afford one.

 

[lucebuce12]

MvCI Dante still doesn't look like DMC Dante tho.

IT's THE EYE CANCEEERRRRRRR.

THE EYE CANCEERRRRR

 

[Blueblur1]

That's a bad comparison of Chris faces. it would be more appropriate to use images with similar lighting and perspective. None are available now though; we need new gameplay footage to compare.

Regardless, the characters still look like the worse incarnations of themselves. The game is still ugly.

 

[Lulubop]

MvCI Dante still doesn't look like DMC Dante tho.

He def does look different. He looks like generic handsome white dude, which is at least better than methhead.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

MvCI Dante still doesn't look like DMC Dante tho.

He's at least in the same ballpark as:

vs.

It's really sad that Capcom can't seem to get their character models to be at least on par with games from 2008/2009.

 

[The Omega Man]

that's fixed?

he looks like

As Ken is getting older he panicked he was losing his pretty boy/youthful looks and started abusing botox, look how he ended up.

Someone start a gofundme so we can hire a professional character modeler for Capcom. They can't afford one.

The good ones got hired by ArcSys, they are not available right now.

 

[Greenzxy]

How hard is it to find a competent modeler in this day and age when there's tons of reference material to base the character sculpts on?

 

[Undead Fantasy]

They didn't fix Chris' face enough. It's not what it should be

Why do you want a downgrade?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

IT's THE EYE CANCEEERRRRRRR.

THE EYE CANCEERRRRR

Lmao.

Yeah, it's definitely better than the OG MvC:I model. But tbh that's not really a big achievement.

 

[deadscreensky]

Eh, I guess Chris looks okay now.

 

[Piers]

Utterly

barbaric.

Had a feeling Chris looked better in the trailer, but good to see the developers have responded to the criticism.

Edit:
Doubt I'm the first to bring this up but something seemed off with Dante's old model.

His eyes looked like they were skewed compared to the rest of his face.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Would buy original face dlc.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Fix Chun's walking animation and we might be in business.

 

[yukimeans_snow]

Chris is a subtle change. Chun Li is like whooaa. Big improvement. Glad you were able to fix a staple character that was created in the 80's, Capcom.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Lmao.



Yeah, it's definitely better than the OG MvC:I model. But tbh that's not really a big achievement.

Lol, true. I'd take DMC 3 Dante's character model over the original MvCI.

 

[mcmmaster]

Finding it hard to understand how this is good news, all it highlights is how fucked up that it even happened in the first place. Capcom's current fighting division have no respect for the brand or consumer. SFV is a shining example of this, and its not like several hideous character models is all people have a warrant for when it comes to being critical of the low budget half assed product MVCI is.

 

[Starfish Hero]

The fixes finally made me realize I just don't like the art style. They definitely look like they're supposed to, but they still look weird just because of the cartoonish style the developers went for

 

[Gator86]

How are Capcom's teams worse than 2008 at modeling faces? It doesn't even seem possible.

 

[Raysoul]

The fixes finally made me realize I just don't like the art style. They definitely look like they're supposed to, but they still look weird just because of the cartoonish style the developers went for

They should have gone for a full Anime artstyle.

 

[Lulubop]

They should have gone for a full Anime artstyle.

You think Marvel didn't dictate they use this awful realistic that capcom just can't do a competent job with?

 

[sixteen-bit]

How are Capcom's teams worse than 2008 at modeling faces? It doesn't even seem possible.

They'll never make a vs. game as aesthetically appealing as 1997's X-men vs Street Fighter.

 

[Hallowed]

Still looks like shit. But for some reason I'm still gonna end up buying this game, despite how ugly most of the cast look, sigh.

 

[Clipse]

Nice improvement. Too bad they can't fix the boring starting roster.

 

[Mediking]

Still looks like shit. But for some reason I'm still gonna end up buying this game, despite how ugly most of the cast look, sigh.

But why buy it on day one? This game will drop in price instantly. Let the diehard fgc buy this game on day one.

 

[JusDoIt]

How are Capcom's teams worse than 2008 at modeling faces? It doesn't even seem possible.

Except they aren't? Have you seen SF4's launch faces recently?
