Title: What Graphical Art style should be for Pikmin 3 ?
Post by: AV on July 19, 2008, 10:28:23 PM
Regular art style

played up in brawl (http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/9324/pikminbz2.jpg) So it would be more like this combined with the first picture.

Claymation with Ultra Realism

Cell shaded

I actually would love to see the claymation one.
Nintendo is more casual friendly with Wii so realism may scare off a % of the market. (I heard outside of Japan it didn't sell that well) So they might consider changing the art style to be more friendly to mass market. I think claymation would be cool and yet be friendly to casualsa

I want claymation and ultra realism like presented in the wallpaper made  for the game

Hell No, Its perfect as is. Pikmin art is an awesome mix of realism and toony characters.

I agree with Stevey.

I like it better the way it is, but I don't care what it looks like as long as the gameplay's as good as the first two.

Not broke, don't fix it; though the clay style is really neat and should be used for the next Yoshi's Island.

I would also request it not be on the DS, as a lot of the natural beauty and music quality would be lost. It was hard enough keeping track of the buggers on my 5.4" mobile monitor lol

I like how you picked possibly the worst Pikmin screenshot of all time

That's a great Pikmin picture with the cat.

Claymation is tempting...

I like the claymation, but it's not like the Wii could actually make it look that photorealistic, so it would just end up looking pretty much the same as the regular graphics.

I personally like the Utlra Realism for the non-motion things.  I also would prefer a cartoony or slick plastic look for the motion characters.  I'm not big into claymation as a game graphic style unless its all in but even then.

Though I think a good example of part of what I would like look wise is, ironically, Little Big Planet.

I would feel safer if Nintendo went with the look of the original games instead of changing into something I might not like.  Sounds a little overly conservative but I want the next Pikmin to be for Pikmin fans.  I think it was a game that could have sold better due to better marketing and being on a more popular console.  Changing the look is the sort of thing Nintendo would do if they were to aim the game at a different audience.  I really don't want them to do this.

Hahaha, wow...I'd rather Nintendo do what they want with the game, and if they feel a new look will fit the game then so be it (though I doubt they will)...Let's not get selfish...

People here would go postal if the same thing came up about Animal Crossing or Wii Sports being changed arbitrarily

I'd like it to be im the same vein as the first two. Nothing needs to change as far as I"m concerned.

I would really love to see a cell shaded Pikmin.

I originally liked the claymation idea, but I worry about how the whistle effects would go with everything else going on.

I want Claymation, but I don't want ultra realism.

I loved the promo art for Pikmin 2- so I'd have to go with the claymation option.  That said, what's with all the polls lately?  I get enough polls on the evening news.

+5 points for mentioning Cel Damage
-1 point for spelling it "Cell"














- 100,000,000 points for having the name ">"

I gotta go with Claymation, IF it can be pulled off successfully.

Distant Planet is basically Earth, so I think it retain the photorealistic backdrop with all the critters running around. And try as I might, I can't find any cel-shading in my backyard.
