| Degausser said: Imo, until we see gameplay, it's impossible to judge the new SSX. The fact is games that are quirky and vibrant don't sell any more, so they unfortunatley need to give this game some edge and grit to make it appealing to the mainstrean. It's a shame, but as long as the core values of SSX are there, as long as the racings fun, the tricks over the top and the atmosphere isn't too dark it'll be fine. My fear is all the levels will be a range of different shapes of black and the characters will be all serious :/. It amuses me everyone thought this trailer was a Battlefield 3 trailer initially. |
lol what?
An art style can make or break a game and Deadly Descent has no style what-so-ever. Gritty and realistic isn't a style, it's just boring and if they don't give this game any personality, it will fail.
Also, just quickly looking through my collection of PS3 and 360 games, these game beg to differ that only gritty and realistic sell, style sells:

Also, look at most anything Harmonix has made for reference on how a game can still be semi-realistic but still have incredible art and art style.
