"is cel shaded graphics the future of all games"

I have seen some games now that are using cel shaded graphics and to me they dont look that good the game X111 (thirteen) is cell shaded and so is zelda on the gamecube now if all games turn out to be like this as i have heard feom one of the makers of games then it will ruin all the games and no-one will buy them anymore just imagine grand theft auto or the getaway or one of your favourite game cell shaded would you like it or not. Please let me know what your point of view is towards this problem

There's no need to post this more than once, there is already the same thread in the FOG forum.

No, there is more chance of getting banned for spamming.

Er, no. First off, it's not even a very good topic, but it is alright. Secondly, it's about 5 lines long, showing you haven't put all that much effort into it. GAD is not only given to the best post of the day, but it is given to someone who has put a lot of effort into the post and has added to the forum.

In answer to the question of the topic...

I hope not. I dont really like the look of many of these games, puts me off playing them. Plus i dont think cel shaded graphics are really going to fit major titles like MGS and such, doesnt really add to the mood of it all does it?

And can you see the likes of Pro Evo in cell shading?

*shudders*

When it says 'the more you post, the more chance of winning' it doesnt mean that you should post the same thing. It means that you should post different topics.
You really should try to make them a little longer, not nesseceraly huge, but try to provided examples and work on punctuation.

But I agree. It would be kinda crap if games all went for the Cel-Shaded look, I mean, look at the Zelda game that is due out. I'm sure the gameplay aspect will be brilliant, but it just wont feel like a Zelda game, it will seem more like a platformer than an RPG.

i don't think it is the future of games but rather something like a phase games companies go through, i have to admit it is a cool effect making 3d games look like cartoons but like other popular effect which started appearing in all games but have died down in recent game it'll pass. like motion blur and matrix style 360 degree camera angle effects, etc.

I doubt it is the future of games, but I do see a future for cel shaded games in the market. Which is to say that some companies will develop a few cel games over the next 5 or 6 years at least, until something better comes along.

To be honest, I don't see a problem with it, the style does suit certain types of games. Comic or cartoon adaptions for starters.

Some of you will have seen a few of my previous posts on the subject of cel shading, and will know that I generally HATE it.

But I've just played the demo of Sly Racoon, and I have to say it works really well, and it really does suit the game.

Oh, and the game is pretty darn good, too! :-)
