Art Director same as NFS Unbound ?

[HellVein]

I see some effects are too close looking to the NFS Unbound Cartoon/Spray graffiti effects , did EA fire him and Capcom hire him or , is this just some fad that needs to die sooner rather than later ?

Heck no, this fad needs to keep on going for much longer, carry the spirit of Jet Set Radio into the future!

if these games had half the aesthetic appeal of the jet games you might have a point

HellVein this sounds like a grumpy thread, did you get enough to eat this morning?

Yes, because the urban, graffiti focused aesthetic has only ever been done by one person ever. It did not exist before need for speed, clearly. It's also totally just a modern flash in the pan and not an aesthetic that's been around forever, rose to prominence in the 90s and managed to stick around since then. It's totally just a passing fad.

Man, you need to get your eyes checked because it looks great and, speaking for myself, I'd love to see more games make heavier use of it.

Actually, you'll be interested to know that "NFS Underground Art Director Man" (this is actually what he goes by because he's that eclectic) has been in high demand since he is the only man in existence who can use this style.

He's also making a hip hop album called "I spray paint on ♥♥♥♥" that's due out in November, and he's making his own aerosol body cologne line that's like Axe except it actually sprays color on your body. Genius really because now you can see someone from a good 20 yards away and know immediately if you'll like the way they smell or not.

NFS Underground/SF6 to recording artist/consumer goods mogul - spray paint me green with envy... literally!
