The process WOULD be more expensive however, so really you can call their "it would crash this company" nonsense as an overexaggeration and excuse for something that's rather simple: they're being cheap.

It's a two step process and they want to upgrade to 3D because normalfags are into it, Quality doesn't matter, only that it LOOKS good. I've seen people pass up fun games based on looks alone, some people have it bad in regards to image. It matters more to those people then self-enjoyment or even improvement and worse is it's a casual mindset for normalfags. Something REALLY went down the fucking drain.

I have a fighting game ring going on at a college lounge, and half of everyone there are focused entirely on appearance, especially the blacks and Asians.

The game i'm talking about is Slap City and I played it today, it's actually pretty fun, but only other dudes who didn't give a shit about appearance tried it, they others have a NEED to be seen as serious or being associated with serious things. Like playing fucking trash ass Tekken 7, it's seriously bad how everyone plays it, people quit Street Fighter 5 but hanged on to Tekken, it's like a normalfag finder.

The only girl there wasn't even playing, but trying to show everyone her fighting game replays, trying to control her appearance but never actually playing with the others. She's known for this and only fights newbies, we know she's trash at games, but it doesn't excuse everyone else.

Seriously, some people are HARDCORE only about appearances, It's hard enough to find people to play with.

I don't know and don't want to know how any of marvels heroes look today.

Shit I mean I passed all new GG, KOF and SF games simply because they use 3D models instead of sprites.

I just don't give a fuck, I want my sprites, I won't play with 3D shit.

I guess you post accounts for people like me as well.

I'm surprised no one ever investigated or developed means to speed up sprite work, especially when indie shitters wanted to be "retro" so desperately but made really half assed sprites.

I mean you should keep an open mind, sprites are fucking great but games aren't just art pieces, plenty of games can look like polygonal shit but games that look like that i've had a lot of fun with.

The post does account for you too, but it's not wrong to like either for the aesthetics, but it's retarded to count something out just because they can't do the best art. And it certainly is wrong to like something because you think you have an image.

It's like a kid refusing to even try a carrot before he decides he hates it. You're not forced to buy carrots, but what's the harm trying it when you get a free one? New things can't harm you, and if it's shit it's a story to tell.

Unless it's from a company that is known for pumping out nothing but triple A trash, like EA. There's limits you know.

That's literally what they did for KoF 13.

cautiously optimistic for diepod's game and cerebrawl if they ever manage to come out.

i'm trying to learn enough 3d to at least make comfy 2.5d backgrounds. but it's way more technical than drawing

play frenchbread games then

>>15308596

plenty of people have tried, it's very difficult to make 2d assets more efficient without making them look like cheap garbage

xrd has kind of been a curse tbh. now there's a glut of games trying to copy that aesthetic with neither the skills or resources to do it properly.

>you should keep an open mind

Yeah that's what faggots, niggers and feminist were telling me to do for 30 years now.

No.

>frenchbread games

>look into it

>turns out I played most of their games somehow

Good shit.
