Let's have a little "face off" of the two most recent Western RPGs:
What do you think?
honestly its kinda 50/50. The only ones that look "Good" are the main HZD girl, and the last two guys.
But then the first pic looks downright cartoony. Not graphically bad, but like somebody doing a Disney stage presentation. TOO MUCH emoting with the face. the guy with the surfer hair looks pretty good though, now that i'm taking a second look at him. So that's 3 good ones so far. 2 MEA, 2 HZD.
but then the guy with the Headdress looks downright awful. seriously, his facial hair looks like barbwire, its the same problem MGSV had trying to do facial hair. actually wait no, it looks like after you drag a magnet through the dirt then you get those solid iron shavings sticking straight up off the magnet.
the asian girl I can't pin it down exactly but everything about her looks just..."off".
the asari looks great though she's smiling a little too hard and it looks forced, like the L4D2 intro cutscene.
O:
Does anybody know which beast did this? Ravagers and thunderjaws have these kinds of laser beams but this seems to come from far up. Glinthawks and stormbirds however don't have this attack, do they?

Edit: Oh, I'm just blind, I see a thunderjaw there in the background. XD
how are those lazers passing right through her with no damage? Is that a hitbox/collission/detection problem or is that a mechanic i'm not aware of? Like its not SUPPOSED to hurt you?
Can't really judge...I dislike most western RPGs and they all look bad except for the last one, the dark one. Idk what they did but that's probably one of the most realistic African American characters I've seen in a current Gen system, they did a great job capturing our characteristic fuller lips and facial structure...well for the most part since I don't have that type of face since I'm also mixed with Irish and Caucasian so I have only the medium skin tone, lips and hair texture of African descent XD.
The Horizon Dawn girl face also stands out from the others imo, as well as that one guy with the tribal head accessories, those three seem to be the best imo.
i have to stop you just because I don't think there's an Africa nor an America in the world of HZD haha. at least not anymore.
Decided to take more pictures!
( instantly addicted lol )
okay THAT looks cool!
This thread needs pics!
Not by me but some of the best I found others took of Horizon:
THOSE ones specifically, are the kinda screenshots that would actually get me interested in this game!
but yeah i'm the type who doesn't give a fuck about graphics just for the sake of graphics so "Realistic" doesn't really leave an impression on me. We are in the day and age where games are just a "little" better every year so there's no huge leaps anymore like there were 10-20 years ago. Plus hell I still play games from when I was little (Ps1/ps2) and consider them to look good for what they are so I've learned to appreciate the art styles and overall design more than just the tech specs and graphics.
It's weird because I still feel like Mirrors edge looks AMAZING even though there's barely anything there. Less is more, I suppose.
