Skyward Sword

The difference between graphics and art style are that graphics refer to things like polycount in models where art style refers to how it is designed to look in order to set a mood. TP=more serious and thus more serious art style. SS=Less serious looking and thus a less serious art style.

@Wolfie: Could you still upload/copy&paste that paper here? I'm not sure if I'm exactly right.

 

I seriously hope you're kidding. That would put me to sleep after I read the first sentence

 

Pretty much this.


The graphics ARE good, it's just that the style is different.

 

I'd certainly appreciate it. I've had trouble finding good reading material lately. I'm nearly done with those light novels I got.

 

Graphics have to do more with the technical aspect. Polygon count, frames per second, dpi, things like that.
Art style is just the style that the game is constructed in. For example, Okami uses a style reminiscent of Japanese sumi-e, Shadow of the Colossus uses a really dull color palette, and Wind Waker is more cartoony.

 

ugh, I just got a little review

 

Did you see the new game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron? It's reminded me a little of Okami. Thought you may like it. O:

 

y'now, Okami almost reminds me of the art in Rogue Galaxy. Almost.

 

Hm, no, I haven't, but I will look that up now. Thanks. 8D
agh I really hope that tech demo of the bird in the Japanese garden at E3 was some sort of hint to Okami ;~;

 

Here's some gameplay.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming it.
