I don't think it was an intentional change. After all, the stage art is still perfectly crisp pixels? If anything, it just looks like they had to choose between too zoomed out and too zoomed in, and it just... ended up like that.

That's just my guess, though. Don't really got a source.

I was like "wait isn't Latata an insanely popular song"

it is!

the song in Fortnite is not that song. it is something Suno-generated using the same name with a fake k-pop band.

I wonder why Tim Sweeney is so mad about the Steam AI disclaimer now!

They're overly defined, and the over abundance of shades just make them look more absurd. I'm not really a fan of it either.

As far as their 3D models go, I feel like their recent model style has reached a pretty good look. Not mind blowing, but I think COTW and SamSho got nice visuals

I respect the boldness of the art direction, but I can't help but feel they could've approached in a way that wasn't self destructive or at the price of cutting out a bunch of characters planned for the game.

Especially Adelheid. This whole arc was supposed to highlight him, but he got canned.

I genuinely have no idea. Multiple backgrounds just have odd crowds.

Order select screen in KOF XIII

For some reason, the sprites are actually pixel perfect during the order select screen, but not during gameplay. I can only assume that they realized playing the game like this would be too zoomed out, but they had to play ball with these sprites as it was, so they just... zoomed in, blur and all.

I don't even think this paid off at all. I mean, it's IMPRESSIVE they even pulled it off, but not that appealing. Almost every animation came out looking stiff and robotic in a franchise that character animations used to look far more expressive.

The best thing to come out of it was Kim's pants.

Also, the sprites seem to always get blurred out during actual gameplay anyway. So what the fuck was the point of making painstaking amounts of super refined shading with 60 colors overall (not an exaggeration) if they were all going to get blurred together anyway?

KOF XIII is the oddest game when it comes to sprite direction. Like, yeah, team, let's have HUGE 240 pixels tall sprites, 7 shading tones per color, and a crazy amount of smooth frames at the expense of the roster and bankrupting ourselves.

All for the one KOF with the weirdest character redesigns.

So goddamn tired of looking for music on YT, and a lot of it are "video game OST but it's city pop/jazz fusion!", which are always an hour long A I generated crap that just sounds like pointless static to me

This is a bit of a personal pet peeve of mine but it always bothers me when I see reshapes of sprites and there's no contrast on the colour palette making it look flat like this (did this myself for an example)

I used to listen to Shaman albums very often whenever I took the train to my college. What stung is that he passed away only a few months after I had graduated from it.
