I don't think we have enough info to say anything about why the art style is what it is.

We have Contest of Champions' sales numbers. That's enough.

 

[Mix Master]

I mean obviously, IJ2 looks great and proves that. It doesn't change the fact that Marvel likely dictated the look and Capcom just can't pull it off, maybe due budget, time constants or just being bad at it.

Do you folks have receipts that marvel dictated the art style or you folks just assuming that.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

While I'm not a fan of the artstyle, it doesn't really bother me as much anymore.

Yeah this is what I'm getting at. Maybe capcom chose it themselves to get the mobile crowd or maybe they did it so it's easier to do dlc costumes compared to cell shading. We don't have the info.

Receipts, yes.

This game looking very, very similar in art style has around a 0% chance of being an accident.

Nah, it's all assumptions given the similar artstyles in Marvel games.

Yeah, at this point it is what it is. It still kinda bothers me, but I've accepted our fate.

 

[Turbanator]

There's also the fact that the only Telltales game that doesn't have their trademark cell shading is their Marvel licensed game.

Well, that and Game of Thrones I think?

EDIT: Actually, does Batman tTTs also use cell shading?

Yes.

Telltales GotG has a different artstyle from the rest of their games.

 

[Neoxon]

Yes.

Yup, it's why there's suspicion that MvCI's art style was Marvel-mandated.

I really don't want to have to manage two characters. Almost all of the stones are unappealing to me because they bring on stuff like custom combos or new setups. I hate labbing that stuff. Just give me something that helps my general gameplay.

Then go Mind Stone? Gives you an additional tool in neutral (command grab) and more meter when you need it.




The artstyle doesn't look bad in some of the newer stages. The better lighting helps it out A LOT.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

Between the artstyle and all Marvel characters having their themes changed, I think it's a safe assumption.

I really wish they didn't mess with the themes, though. That actually sucks.

oh yea, that too

The themes make good trailer music at least.

I already miss Spidey and Dormammu's theme

I don't disagree.

Some of the textures do look pretty nice, though. It's just hard to tell with some of the filters they're using on top of it negating them.

I don't know why Capcom refuses to tone down or disable the chromatic aberration. It doesn't look good at all.

I look forward to them adding the option to remove it 1.5 years later.

I thought it was toned down quite a bit?

 

[lucebuce12]

I feel like I'm the only one who liked Omega-Red in MvC2

in SFV, player 2 still can't rematch/go into character select in offlline versus.

Take that for what you will.

It has been but I still think they should tone it down further.

 

[Lulubop]

hopefully you can just turn it off

I don't disagree.

Yea, some of the texture is really good. Dante's coat, and Nemesis's skin. Nemesis actually looks better than like everyone else.

It needs to go completely.
It adds absolutely nothing to the game and only makes it worse:
It degrades the image (blurring the textures), causes weird coloring, and results in a blurry double-image effect that gives many players eye-strain, head-ache, and even naseau.

They want people to both play and watch this, and using chromatic aberration at any strength makes it both uglier and uncomfortable.

Even just straight up standard blurring would be better if they want to have a depth of field effect. Even though it ruins the resolution, at least it doesn't result in ugly/headache inducing color degradation or double image.

I wish UE4 just took this out of its toolset, because it's grossly misused.

 

[Rhaknar]

Chromatic Aberration is in fact, an aberration, and it seems every fucking company loves to use it for some reason

Yeah a simple toggle in the options menu even on console would be the best scenario so at least people have the choice. Fast Racing RMX on the Switch had an option for it, so I don't see why a game like this couldn't also have the option.

Can't wait for the PC version to turn it off.

 

[Village]

Can't wait for the PC version to turn it off.

The option to turn it off will be for whtaver reason hooked up with whether strider is in the game or not

 

[Coda]

Can't wait for the PC version to turn it off.

I'm still gonna play on PS4 because I've got a Pro and because of the player base but yeah not having an option to turn it off on console is bothersome.

A lot of devs seem reluctant to make it optional on consoles for some reason.

I want it completely gone, and not a toggle on consoles, because most tourneys/streamers will run on PS4 and probably stick with the default settings. What does Tekken 7 do? Is there an option on consoles?

Being able to turn it off, or force it off via editing ini files on PC is workaround, but only if you're playing on PC, where you're probably dealing with a much smaller player base as a result.

you guys thinking the PC version will have such a toggle is super cute

I'm confident we'll be able to turn it off on PC, regardless of whether it's in the options.

Is there a way to show how MVCI would look if it did not have chromatic aberration at the moment?

It's a UE4 game, there's some pretty decent engine docs to turn that stuff off. Did it for Tekken 7 in the first week.

Unless someonehas the game on PC right now, no.

How as the SDCC build in terms of lag? Same as the demo (Which felt pretty alright)

Tyrant didn't seem to have any whorthwhile play. Guess I'll peek at Max's videos.
