Anime Cutscenes?

[ONDIER]

I hope this is just from promotional videos, because if I see anime cutscenes in this I'm going to have to pass.

Nothing like that has been shown

Yes, the cut scenes are now more traditional cel-shaded looking animation as used in promotional trailers. A couple cut scenes at the beginning of the game an be seen here https://youtu.be/WYRmZkDqRdQ

Ah there is a new video

I don't see anything in that video that looks like anime. The cutscene was closer to western animation that you'd see in a Netflix show or something.

This game is truly art man, why you complain about anime cutscenes? These posts are full of trolls jesus

[Michael Hawk]

the ingame art and character sprites all look the same as the previous game, this is all that matters to me. I bet they did this to cut cost and time

[Psycho Honky]

Also don't care for the animation style of the cutscenes. It looks very tonally wrong, imo. But everything else looks great and this ain't something that'll ruin the overall game for me.

I don't really like the animation style in the trailer, but it seems like an overreaction to skip the game just for that.

However, if you look at the trailers for Blasphemous 1, they use a similar art style. So you could be right that is is just for the trailers

That's because they've decided to use the same studio that produced the trailers (Sunshine Animation Studio) for the in game cinematics this time around. It's not 'anime' but it is still a weird choice at odds with the game's themes and visual style, way too clean and bright.

I would have preferred static images in the same style as the originals cut scenes over the clean, bright animated stuff they have implemented.

Its not bad looking, its just out of place.

What the hell are you talking about? Did you get offended by an animation? What a princess you are.

[Alvarez_Tiago]

I would've preferred pixel art animations for cutscenes a thousand times over!
This is the one thing that bugs me, it feels off.
They could've at least gone with a more gritty and dirty style of animation.
It feels like they spent a lot of time watching dead cells promos and did not realize that dead cells tone is miles more colorful and "happy" than their own game.

The truth is that the animated scenes don't give me a good feeling because they are out of tune with the pixel art, it's not bad, but I preferred the scenes the same as the first one. What bothers me about the animated scenes is that they have a very bad drawing quality, like beginners' drawings or Cartoon Network series, they seem not very serious to me.

I have watched some spoiler videos(or playthrough which should not be published now). Static images remain in the same style like the image when the father telling his story.
So it make sense, animated pixel art is a lot more costly than regular animated cut scene. The only animated pixel art in the first game is end scene of End C.
