Old Sprites, PS3 Sprites or New Sprites ?

[belittleselfish]

Which do you prefer?

[Nanacho]

I'm likely to use either new or PS3. Battler looks... Off in the new sprites, though.

I want to see Erika and Bernkastel sprites, then I will decide, but for now, PS3

[Ellixer]

PS3

The "new ones" are epic as well~

I'm quiiiite fine with the new ones, but the PS3 ones are far better.

[Amaryllis]

The PS3 sprites have some really nice expressions though. The pachinko ones are all right. I feel it can fit with Umineko's style.

But there's something about the original. I think it added to the unique feel of Umineko. It doesn't feel "anime" if that makes sense.

The PS3 sprites are really good. But seriously, but why do they give us upgraded sprites but don't give us the upgraded backgrounds? It looks really weird.

Yeah, this new sprites looks pretty bad. Although I do like the massive breasts everyone has.

There is a difference between a developer budget and quality compared to a publisher budget and quality. There isn't much MG could do to be Alchemist art quality that could have fit in their budget for it.

My understanding is that Alchemist, the Japanese company responsible for both Higurashi and Umineko's Playstation releases, was either unable or unwilling to work with MangaGamer on liscensing their assets (the PS3 artwork, a handful of exclusive Higurashi storylines, etc.) for the US releases.

Their hands are tied.

That's a good point ya got there. Hopefully they'll reach an agreement or if not, we'll risk having another Huniecam Studio where the art style was the big argument over whether people should buy it or not (though thankfully, i can say that's died down since the official release)

PS3

[Techeese]

would prefer PS3 sprites, i wish they reconsider it an option..

[tr1ton]

MangaGamer no money buy liscensing PS3 sprites
