Quote:Option 2Originally Posted by Noble Savage
Hey, folks. So I have two overarching philosophies when it comes to the Art Direction in COH: first, that we continue to improve the quality bar with every new initiative we undertake and second, that we not forget about the legacy art as this happens. But when it comes to legacy art, there are of course items in the Costume Creator that are starting to show their age. We could hypothetically remake these assets with crisper, more detailed textures and modern shaders and do our best to maintain the 'flavor' and 'feel' of the originals, with the goal of giving you the same stuff, only better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But then there's a choice on how to deploy them, and that's where this very informal poll comes in: How would you, the players, want to approach this issue?
HYPOTHETICAL OPTION 1: Old assets would be removed from the Costume Creator menu and you'd have the newer, updated ones instead.
Pro: This raises the overall quality bar of the game by eliminating the oldest, least-attractive pieces; players look cooler; everything looks more consistent and modern. Less menu clutter.
Con: change is scary; perhaps some players will prefer the old pieces?
HYPOTHETICAL OPTION 2: We leave the old version alone and put the new version immediately below it in the Costume Creator.
Pro: Nothing is 'taken away.'
Con: Outmoded art remains, clashes progressively more with newer, modern assets. Menus swell with 2 options for each basic piece, making it harder to navigate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So you can see where I stand on this.
Personally, I'd like to see the game's art evolve, improve, and remain consistent, so I much prefer Option 1. But as always, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think about this. Do me a favor and please keep your posts short and to the point.
Possible grist for the mill:
--non-animated tails were left in Costume Creator when Animated Tails were added. Do any of you use the non-moving ones at this point? -
The audio is bad but worse is the lack of people. Dragon*Con would have been a better choice for the venue. But then I would have to choose between Skeptrack and CoH Panels.

This I don't understand... It's really not that hard to make Apex look recognizable with existing costume parts...
I mean, why mess with an established look? The full Vanguard suit looks bad on him... -

thanks for finding this again, will help me alot. I guess I should have checked the wiki.
-
has anyone sent in a picture and has not had it show up on the gallery?
-
Not sure if this a good area to ask for this but I bet if anyone has a good file for icons it would be the art section.
I am working on a post for our SG site and I wanted to add all the icons for the GR post I know the wiki has the new ones : Praetoria, Resistance, Rogue and Vigilante but I can seem to find the hero and villain ones, if anyone has them would you be so gracious to share?
Thanks -

Conversely, if they say "Summer" and everyone expects the end of summer, and then they pop it out in, say, the second week of August, they still look like heroes. It's all perspective.
Expect the worst and hope for the best. It's safer that way.
