>Streetwear hypebeast "techwear" type of aesthetic
It's definitely not a finished product but there is at least its own identity, carved by however you want to describe its 'unique' design

>>724209875 (OP)
should have stuck with the original nuetral class and scale you character up uniquely each time based on what you find concept
oh and have a great single player campaign
boom you print B's

>>724209875 (OP)
I got in. I like it a lot. But I'm one of the 35 people who also like DMZ so I guess I should be disregarded.

>>724209985
I had no idea this was going with a hero mechanic, I don't agree with it and wish they didn't do it this way.
>>724210067
Don't worry anon, I like DMZ too. These two however are so far apart, especially map size and freedom of mobility.

I love the art design and aesthetic. Menu design is amazing. That's the best thing about the game right now. The biggest issue is the audience Bungie is trying to cater to. As it is now, this game will only interest a niche audience.

Pic unrelated

>>724210620
That audience I think will dwindle even more after this playtest once they realize they're asking for money for this game.

>>724209875 (OP)
>but there is at least its own identity
If I wear a supreme t-shirt, is that my own identity?
>carved by however you want to describe
Sounds a bit vague, ambiguous even

>>724210765
Oh wow, it's definitely much better to drive a truck for a living than having to do his fucking job.

>>724209875 (OP)
sonyfags will eat up all kinds of slop huh?

Bungie stole EVERYTHING

>>724211132
A shitty made identity is one, still. This is more than just a logo over a blank color. It's not the best, but it is its own.

Supreme is literally just a logo

>>724210725
I agree. The upfront price, getting curb stomped right at the start, and then a full wipe after 6 months will crater this game's playerbase.

>>724210765
I still don't understand why they kept him there the whole time. He said his bit at the start and then just sat there for an hour. And you can just tell he was awake all night getting reamed by his bosses.

>>724209875 (OP)
Better than the nu halo demake and anything 343 has done with halo.

>>724211659
I associate their design with 2005-2006 deviant art wallpapers. It's super derivative and in essence no different from putting on a t-shirt with someone else's design.
It looks cool, I like it, but it doesn't register as their own creation, at all. Art is derivative and most FPS games look like copies of each other so I don't even mind that aspect. It is "their own style" if you ignore stuff like NeoTokyo and Synthetik. What I do find annoying is comments trying to elevate it as original or mindful.
Pic not related.

>>724212098
It's not original, but it is mindful, in the sense that there is intention and vision there, and not one that is meant to please everyone.

>>724209875 (OP)
aesthetic is not its problem, its just execution

>>724212456
Left is a pre-rendered cinematic. Unfair comparison.

>>724212431
Yeah, that's how you feel when you select a t-shirt with a graphic design to put on lol

>>724212541
>Left is a pre-rendered cinematic. Unfair comparison.
nobody forced them to make a multiplayer shooter that needs to run on shitbox laptops

>>724212456
This is just mishmash of bullshit. This is why I have "futuristic shooters". They just use it as an excuse to not have any cohesive style because "it's da future".

>>724212456
The teaser was so cool. Why would they set themselves up for failure in such a way?

>>724212560
No, that's an unconscious, purely instrumental decision for most, "lol"

>>724212456
The dead-eyed stare reminds me of that LTT reaction image

>>724209875 (OP)
Did they paid the artist they stole the artwork from or did they rebuild the whole thing up artwise from the ground up?

>>724212573
If they made a high graphical fidelity walking simulator you would also complain

Concord 2.0 lmao

>>724212671
They stole some decals, not the entire aesthetic and artistic direction. Why do people keep thinking that.

>>724212671
Stolen artwork has all been scrubbed, from what I've seen.

>>724212456
Left sucks too
Legit hate it

>>724212648
Oh wow, so Bungie selection of what designs to steal was more conscious than how your avarage dofus selects a tshirt? That's quite the defence, LOL

>>724212671
They "stole" some insignifcant SVGs. No one cares

The playtest was fucking dogshit.
The player is way too squishy with way too low TTK to face multiple aggressive enemies that are heavy bullet sponges and are ready to pick on the corpses of whoever is left after PVP fights.
Not all runners can stealth and even then it's just not fun to crouch walk around with a knife.
On top of that they nerfed the speed of healing and using stuff, which makes zero sense because the ttk is so fast.
The game is truly outstandingly bad

this shit is getting canceled lmao
absolute dogshit

Am I being gaslit? People say this is an amazing and gorgeous art style. It looks like some low budget CGI movie short that someone would put on YouTube.

Does Bungie think if they just pay people to go around and say this is a gorgeous art style, people will believe it?

>>724209875 (OP)
don't care

uninstalled it earlier today
extraction shit is not for me

>>724212727
What was the name of the artist they stole from? Let's compare the aesthetics

>>724212601
But the future has no cohesive style

>>724212879
going to assume the stuff they stole has the same look as the stuff they...stole

>>724212879
I don't remember the artist's name but it was not just decals. Entire texture sheets were ripped straight from the portfolio. I watched the whole shit show unfold live.

>>724212885
Exactly, yet marathon has tech and equipment from multiple fictional companies that all seem to hire the same technical designer.

>>724212789
>I "stole" some insignificant keys to your house. No one cares
Except everyone who pointed it out and now the damage control is like climbing out of a pit of sand.

>Does Bungie think if they just pay people to go around and say this is a gorgeous art style, people will believe it?
Clearly, otherwise we wouldn't have a shill thread up every day.

>>724212456
The aesthetic would be a huge major selling point, its just unfortunate the reality is they plan releasing next year and not in 2-3 more years. If you told me this is VERY early design, I'd feel like there's potential but this is the product

>>724212867
You don't understand how modern games are made. It's impossible to make a game with the kind of graphics that force a 4090 to run at 30fps and turn a profit without mainstream appeal, and that means appealing to the lowest common denominator.

>>724213005
No, let's compare the general aesthetics of the game to the artist in question, not the specific stolen asset. The claim was that the art style wasn't stolen, just some random detail

>>724212612
I'd hazard its a deadline thing, it feels so much like "It's not unpolished, that's just ~how it looks~ we made it that way intentionally *sweats*"

>>724212671
>>724212727
iirc the delay was because of that on top of criticism.

>>724212817

do those people also happen to have yt videos on the subject which coincidentally happen to be over 10 minutes long? Which also happens to be the monetization ad threshold time limit ?

Primarily 3rd worlders and trannies. IP law is anti-meritocratic

>>724212879
>compare
wasn't it someone who was working on it but wasn't paid?

>>724213262
the artist didn't create the artstyle though so i'm not sure what your point is

>>724213224
>>724213264
Do they want the switch audience or what's the deal? This particular style should be super easy to pull off graphics wise, just look at mirrors edge

>>724212784
The average normalslave has zero taste and is incapable of even doing that

>Westoid "UI design is my passion" developers
>Goddamn awful UI
Every single time

The "artist" from whom Bungie "stole" SVGs himself "stole" from The Desginers Republic. It's a well-established style that anyone can adapt. The controversy was just normalfaggot moral hysteria

Concord 2.0

>>724213383
Are you being dense on purpose? If their general style and direction """by random chance""" matches the artist they """happened""" to steal from, are you saying its probably a coincidence and not their intention? By no means did they rip their games design identity from this person? Get real.

>>724213698
of course it's not a coincidence

they aren't going to steal frutiger aero decals for their game because the art style wouldn't match

but they did not steal that persons art style, it's not their art style to be stolen

>>724213224
Aesthetics is ugly as sin and I don't care how some random images were stolen. It's just ugly

>>724213354
>IP law is anti-meritocratic
I think it inherently is about protecting the merits of the property though

Any ways to improve performance outside of reducing resolution?
I'd like to enjoy 120 fps at minimum.

>>724213784
>>724213561
There's a wide gap between Wipeout and this game, I'm not buying it.
Post the artist and let's compare :)

>>724213893
It's actually about creating little feudal lords who can rule over ideas by virtue of existing before other people

>>724213894
Which is ironic because Elden Ring, Sekiro and Nightreign UI are excellent and you can tell instantly what is what, what is indicated, what something does.
Marathon is such an ugly mess you need to hover your mouse just to realize type of ammo and what fuckery that 3d printed lego gun even is because the lighting is trash, let alone make something out of the blobs of grey covered in loot color that are attachments

>>724213995
Lol, their design identity is a direct transplant

>>724209875 (OP)
Such blatant shilling when the game looks nothing like this

>>724213378
No. It was some artist who a lot of the Bungie art team was following on Twitter, including the art director.
The game had textures stolen straight from the artist and they were modified so little you could see their signature on some of the textures.

>>724214153
>assets
LOL
They're SVGs of basic geometry done in a style invented in the 80s. The normalfaggots who complained about this "theft" belong in a mental asylum

>>724214153
>meanwhile
Yeah they obviously took a shortcut and cribbed from that artist rather than designers republic

>>724214292
>svg

>they're
Svgs are flat saar

Marathon crawled so that The Duskbloods could spread its wings and soar into the sky

>>724214153
I see some literal lifts but who is he kidding with the two ">>" looking one. Anyone could've done that

>>724214292
Based on those screenshots they look exactly the same lol, nice try faggot

>>724214416
Now this is art direction

>>724214527
Yeah, basic shapes tend to look similar to one another

Why are people in this thread acting like the game is being rushed and needs more time when it's been in development for over 6 years now.
Are you bungie employees?

>>724214517
>Anyone could've done that
Apparently not Bungie

>>724214582
Sure, like your mother's pussy and the Lincoln tunnel

>an art style that can only be described as pretentiously manufactured
i like pretentious so its fine
too bad it betrayed itself to be fodder for people who dont like that

>>724214837
Thanks but there is no need to declare your ethnicity. We know where Bungie hires their shills.

>>724214416
i really, really dislike from's current obsession with co-op centric development

>>724214956
That's alright, because I only declared your ethnicity: brown.

Remove the hero shit and it might have something. A flat out skill tree that has all of the stuff heroes currently has, but allows people to pick and choose

>>724213430
its an extraction shooter. competitive fps. they want to make money as a live service so it has to run on a lot of machines, especially lower spec ones so instead of everything looking glossy, textured, matte, sleek and expensive it looks like cheap plastic ingame

>>724214608
It had a prolonged pre-development cycle and was completely redone at one point. The actual development didn't start until 2021. Same issues that plagued Anthem and FF15.

Valiant attempt Bungie...
However....

>>724212456
>aesthetic is not its problem
It looks like trash.

AND WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SAY OR DO ABOUT IT?! BUNGIE IS A BUNCH OF RETARDED NIGGERS, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

>>724215542
extraction games if done correctly will have a thousand hours of gameplay from players

it better get ready to extract zero of my dollars lmao

nobody else will tell you but that all black skin is the final character skin you can unlock from the rewards in the play test.

>>724213561
They didn't steal the aesthetic. They adapted the well-established aesthetic.
What they stole was actual artwork and then used that to make assets.

>>724214416
Based

The short film was cool af!

>>724215848
They honestly might be worse

>>724209875 (OP)
this has to be one of the most shizophrenic games I played
it doesnt know what it wants to be
the cinematics, characters and artstyle would be pretty good for a single player game
the maps are just straight BR maps and down follow the usual extraction shooter layout
gameplay is also mostly like a BR
but its an extraction shooter but looting has the least thought put into
they 100% wanted to make an apex legends competitor and changed course later on because people got tired of BRs

>>724216614
Like every other game of its kind, AI generated esque

>>724215367
Now this looks just extremely generic.

>>724212707
It doesn't to be a walking sim. Look at the other Sony games. Outside of Detroit Become Human they all have big maps and vehicle traversal with high graphics fidelity. I don't see the excuse.

>>724218137
>T. ranny

>>724218497
But it does. It's like the Karl Urban Dredd movie, but instead of biker leather they added glossy rubber.

Ok retard. Go play your heroshooter garbage with 3d printed shit aesthetics

Miss me with that garbage, niggers

I actually understand why playtesters said the game wasn't fun

>It's definitely not a finished product
That's putting it lightly
It's garbage
>but there is at least its own identity, carved by however you want to describe its 'unique' design
Some gay wannabe GITS but 3d printers is not great art direction, especially when the actual game looks like trash smeared in grey fog

>>724219626
I didn't say great, I didn't even say good. I'm clearly judging it but giving it a small amount of credit to attempting at least look distinctly different.

This game could've been made in roblox

>>724209875 (OP)
Whoever was art directing this has no fucking idea how to translate y2k graphic art into 3d designs and it shows

The TTK is fucking stupid
You get caught by a camping retard, you lose instantly
In Tarkov you don't stand out like a clown and are not hunted down while escaping by mobs at least
I'm not buying this garbage, I hope it flops

There's an episode of Hoarders where this lady shits in buckets and prepares disgusting food in the same filthy room, and the whole episode she keeps acting like she's surprised to hear her food is contaminated with shit particles, until the very end of the episode where they're going to demolish the house or something and she just drops all the pretense and says she loves the thrill of eating contaminated food and is sad to see it all go. I feel like shilling a game this obviously dead in the water is just a love of wasting money at this point, just purely an expression of mental illness.

>have strong solid colors and contrasts as an artstyle
>ruin it all with antisoul gas

Why?

>>724209875 (OP)
I find it kinda funny how the still use the elite behaviour from halo 20 years later. they even have the same attack animations/ patterns if thats not a proof of stagnation I dont know what is

Guys the moth... tell me about the moth

>>724209875 (OP)
The aesthetics wasnt the issue. The gameplay showed basic bitch gunplay and there is high risk of Fortnighting the game with all the main character vibes it has.
Also deus ex guy's VA isn't that good, he's a one trick pony and I only ever hear Jensen when he speaks.
