{Unpopular opinion} Why rebirth looks bad (Please read before commenting)

[Gas Lightyear]

Looks don't make a game, but this does look quite bad.

My problem is not the style...it is how it is being portrayed.
Real pixel art takes more effort and can actually look really nice.

The problem with rebirth is that there are far too many pixels in some areas, and far too little in others.

With that being said, rebirth looks like a low-rez version of the origanel game...rather than looking like its own unique style.

Good thing you don't need to like the game for me to enjoy it. I can't wait to play it with or without you :)

If you dont have any constructive criticism, its useless that you try derailing this.

Quite enjoy the style loads more than the original. The only thick lined animation of Edmund's I liked was the cutscenes in Super Meat Boy, where I felt it fit. In this new style, much of the original is kept and I like that.

I also feel the pixel style will be complimented by how smooth it'll be at 60 fps. It's no 120/144 fps, but certainly it will beat the bad framerate and slowdowns the original had.

I can tell by your post that you didn't bother to read any of my posts. You probably only read the title.

With that being said, reborth looks like a decent game...and the graphics have potential. The graphics just fall flat because they weren't doen properly.

Also, me stating my opinion is not meant to change yours. Do not misinterpret what I say, and please read more carefully.

While you do bring up good points...the engine would run at 60fps regardless of the style.

I do agree though that super meat boy's cutscenes were awesome.

[Misery]

Yes, but I'm saying that the smoothness of the engine will compliment the art style and make it possibly more viable/enjoyable for some people. Seeing things in action can make all the difference since we've barely seen anything. I'm not necessarily one of those people though since I've enjoyed the art before we got any animations.

I'm pretty sure that at some point someone will mod the game to have its originals sprites.

Let's hope.

I don't mind that new pixel art but I prefer the old art style. Edmund said that the game is for him and it's fitting that he did the art. Also may I add that the rushed imperfections somehow adds to it. Diffrent parts of the creature being unalinged, dirty look and being uneven fits the mood of the game with its theme of decay, death and uglyness.

With the pixel art you can see the mistakes you have made and change them. I understand why he want's to change the artstyle as he hates it cause he took little time with it.

As I said I dont mind the new art but I like the old art styles so far as I have seen.

Yeah, you can easily tell that a lot more effort is being put into the new style. I think everyone can agree on that.

I also get the zelda premise...but it doesn't quite feel right to me (this is coming from someone who played the crap out of zelda when I was younger)

I was worried like you but after watching a couple of the most recent videos I can safely say that I like the art style.

I still liked the older one better but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. It might grow on me too, who knows.

Style I don't like != style not done properly

He can style it however he likes, and to any degree he likes. Just because you personally don't like where a few pixels are doesn't mean he is going about it wrong.

Also, the engine is affected by the style due to how graphics are handled by the engine. Yes he could have kept the old flash graphics, however it would've needed an alteration in how the engine handles the graphics.

I think it's someone's opinion, nevertheless. They can say they think the art style looks wrong because they can and are entitled to that view.
