Forums - Gaming - Why cel-shaded graphics are considered something for children by Americans?

Well, i don't remember american producer investing in cel-shaded games for mature public.



Around the Network

Because cel-shaded graphics cannot provide the same rush of aggression hormones -also known by people who call cel-shading kiddy as "mature content"- as the generic gray-and-brown.

These people play games both out of a craving for the aforementioned rush and to prove to themselves that they are somehow "mature." This means, by its very nature, excluding those whose tastes run in other directions, which ironically proves just how immature they actually are.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

because its a society that promotes masculinity and that you have to feel/be/act older than your age as smth important lol everything that resembles cartoon is either gay or for children. yeah right lol. they forget that consoles are all toys in the end and it doesnt matter if you shoot someone in halo or playing a cell shaded zelda game in the end you just having fun! people are so diluted.. all the greatest games of the 80s were like cartoons and noone had a problem now everyone wants to play a game that look more and more badass so that will make them feel something that they will never be lol! some people even feel insulted only by playing a "cute" cell shaded game lol they have serious psychological problems so considering all that companies will never invest in such art-style except if there are older or younger audiences like people that dont care for such things. did u ever listen an old person bashing a game because its artstyle? (someone older than 35) No because they dont need to prove anything to themselves or to others. they just play.



because when one or two games use it, it is cool.

When too many games start using it, it become a cop out.



Anime ruined cell shading for everyone.

Anime makes cell shading seem perverted in some way.



Repent or be destroyed

Cell shaded products are generally aimed at kids. If you want a design style that everyone can watch, use CGI.

It's a bit of a cop-out as I think Ubisoft is French, but they did XIII.

 

TBH first person games rule in America and most would just not suit cel shading.



Because it doesn't have enough gray and brown.

No, they don't. If you look at VGChartz's list for the top-selling games of all time in the Americas, you have to get down to spot 18 before you find your first FPS, which is Halo 3. In the top 50 titles in the region, FPSes only make up a handful.
