Not from what I’ve seen.  Some of Moebius’ backgrounds are really amazing.

Which ones? The one in diego’s post is awful. If you’ve seen better, please share.

Sorry but someone needs to say it - this shiny and barren new style being used in games recently is hideous. I have to question the sanity of someone who thinks that this and this and this looks better than this or this. Horrific.

@Blackthorne:

Aside from Jane those are neither the same developer nor the same series, as far as I know. I understand what you are saying and I don’t think there was any malicious intent from Cesar’s side and that he is simply proud of their game. I just think that a comparison like that is unnecessary and will provoke some backlash.

I guess you can question my sanity then, because I liked the looks of those first 3 pictures better than those last two.  those last pictures looked washed out and well, just didn’t look like a game that I would want to play.  good thing that there are all kinds of games and looks out there, as everyone has different tastes.

The Yesterday screenshot looks a thousand times more pleasing in my eyes than the last image, that washed out rendering of a hotel on top of a cliff. Maybe instead of questioning the sanity of others you shouldn’t be so sure about your own.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. It’s as simple as that.

I find Yesterday too a million times better than Black Mirror 3’s art. But that’s because I love the cartoony look Yesterday evoques. For Cognition, for example, we went with a comic book look. It’s the style of Art Director Romano Molenaar who does DC’s Batman and Marvel’s X-Men among other things.

For Moebius we are going with a graphic novel look. The crazy amount level of detail found in something like Gray Matter was not what were going for, we went for a cleaner look as established by Jane Jensen and Andy Hoyos. It’s really a matter of style. The same way Himalaya’s upcoming Mages or Infamous Quest’s Quest for Infamy are beautiful in their style. Art is not always fully subjected to technical capabilities, sometimes it just wants to be evocative of a moment, or a style. I find that Final Fantasy XIII looks astounding, but that doesn’t mean that Limbo or Kentucky Route Zero look like crap in comparison. They are also extremely gorgeous to look at.

I only brought up Gray Matter because it had been discussed. I definitely think that game was great, but like fov said, I think it would have benefitted a lot from more cinematic work, because it’s a fully story game, and very dramatic at that.

We’ve got another new moebius build to play… I cant make up my mind if im going to play it. Its cool that we’ve got the option, but i think if i keep playing it in broken pieces like this it’ll ruin my enjoyment of the overall game

Yeah. All that’s true.

Unfortunately, I also have next to no will power.

Downloading as I type.

Seriously there is zero creativity and design in these characters, these are default
preset models from Sims, Singles or any other online social free games.
Heck the models in PS Home looks much better

I think the graphics are good enough here, save for the weird thinness of Malachi’s limbs. I wouldn’t say graphics are unimportant, if they’re plain ugly and/or don’t mesh with the tone that’s otherwise set by the writing and music by looking too sterile or gaudy or empty or such, then they can be detrimental in creating an atmosphere. But I think they’re functional enough here.

That was a REALLY encouraging read. Nice to see some positivity about the game, because it’s not getting much from this thread.

wow, I think the graphics are great!  I can’t wait to play this game. I really enjoyed the demo.
