what do you think of the Games cyber punk setting verus the OVAs gothic setting? |
I definitely prefer the Gothic art style from the OVA as it gives it a more defined atmosphere of suspense, and also gives it a spiritual significance, since Gothic art has always had its roots in religious symbolism. Whereas cyber punk puts the emphasis firmly on the post-industrial dystopia and high-level technology which is more derivative and cliché as I find it too close to an apocalyptic setting; a setting much-overused in the modern video game climate. That said, I still really like the interesting art style in the game. I do consider the cyber punk art style in Ghost in the Shell superior to the BRS video game though, which is another point of reference that makes me prefer the Gothic setting.
