Civil question? Why is it movies nowadays can't use more practical effects today or a mixture of both as the original Jurassic Park did? Helps it seem more real that way.

 

[Jondolio]

Looks like Rayman has finally arrived in Sparks of Hope!

Too bad he hasn't gotten a new game on console since 2013...

I legitimately haven't seen a single advertisement for this DLC and forgot the game existed

Sadly overshadowed by the Rabbids, video games answer to Minions.

That is some unfortunate placement.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm definitely excited for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. And Rayman looks good.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

TV and film are two different mediums

People also say animation is a medium, so mathematically, animated films are medium mediums while animated TV shows are also medium mediums...or maybe that's not how it's meant to be at al-
my brain hurts

(To be honest I never really got bothered about the "is animation a genre or a medium?" debate. I just like to think "ANIMATION IS ANIMATION!")

 

[Shroob]

So uh


Anyone know any way I could get myself a set of Cap Pikas? They're the only thing I'm missing, barring mythicals.

I'm no expert but I'd guess that it's because you need to hire an extra department for it and that increases the cost

Chief summoning Guilty Spark
Arbiter summoning Flood

Remember when Vergeben bought into the Master Chief in Smash "leak".


Good times.

Cgi is cheaper and easier to produce. Simple as that, really.

According to my friend who already watched the film it's really stupid and not worth supporting WBD over

ngl I can’t think of an opinion of it due to constantly comparing it to the last 3 Spider-Man movies (including Morbius cause Spider-Verse), The Batman, and the fact that the DCEU is pretty much dead (since idk if Aquaman and Blue Beetle take place in the SnyderVerse or the DCU timeline)

But Jondolio, Tom Cruise from hit movie The Mummy said It is the best superhero movie ever even though he hasn't acted, directed or written any of them (as far as I know).

That means It is high cinema.

I ain’t even realize he was never in one until now…unless he counts Mission Impossible

This might be the worst CGI I've seen in my life.

I’ve seen worse for superheroes…tho they’re mostly fro Fant4stic and Catwoman (and Morbius)…and the BayTurtles

I got all of them in the Serebii Discord server, on the trades Channel, had to give my second Koraidon but It was worth It.

Imo, It is a good idea to go there and try to offer a really good mon or shiny for them.

Sadly can't give up my 2nd Koraidon.

I do have a collection of shiny Paradox Mons in Apricorn balls, but that'd be a hard sell.....

 

[TMNTSSB4]

these are honestly cool

Of course...

I don't understand what makes today so different from back then.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Your right , they should have put the best soul caliber character in:

Work smarter, not harder.


Practical effects are always nice, but they take more work and manpower than CGI to make. Why do that when you can make CGI in a quarter of the time it'd take to make effects, props, sets etc.

How is Kingdom Hearts (a franchise featuring Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters, albeit separated by the plot) more "normal" than a cartoon Hedgehog in a world full of hu-oh wait, Sonic X exists. Bad comparison, i retired from what i said.

Kingdom Hearts is anything but normal.

Technology advancement. CGI used to be so bad that it wasn't really a viable option as far as effects go, but it got better as time went on is also cheaper than practical effects. I personally don't really like most CGI heavy stuff, might as well just make it animated at this point, but I can totally see why they choose to use it for big blockbusters these days

 

[TMNTSSB4]

• 3rd year graduation is coming up, and the game is set in the winter...those blonde dumbasses are actually gonna get past High School
• The new character is named Elle (El for short), and is not a persona user like Sophia is
• Possible that more new characters will arrive (idk if this counts the dlc or not)
• Music will pretty much be Lyn and guitars so yay more Lyn
• Teams consists of 3 PTs and El (Joker can be benched)
• The character portraits are gonna stay expressive as hell

now...I just need the game to showcase Brojiro and Sae to confirm whether they're alright or not

Sonic canon takes place in a world full of humans, that much is confirmed. It's just you don't see them that much aside from Adventure-Unleashed era of games (excluding Eggman).

 

[TMNTSSB4]

and holy **** Jondolio

I’ve been seeing Anya smiling wholesome in your pfp for months now due to being on the site via phone…and then I realized I was dead ass wrong the moment I decided to use the site on an actual computer. Now I can’t unsee reality

 

[KingofPhantoms]

When it's within the budget, I tend to find that a blend of practical effects and CGI effects yields the best results, but it also depends on just what kind of special effects you're trying to achieve in the first place.

Certain things look better with good practical effects, but there are other things that really can't be achieved effectively without CGI.

¡Dios mío!

Guys, CG departments aren't unionized, that's why it's so overused

This marks 5 years ago of when we got this legendary trailer and name reveal from Sakurai.

Five years ago they made Waluigi an assist again so the game is bad, actually.

And then, there is ZERO point of comparison between Sonic Man from the 2006 game, with Bayonetta (who wasn't even in those games. PxZ, not Sonic '06)

Fair enough and regarding the bad CGI we've been seeing lately. Not the filmmakers fault since they're being forced in horrible conditions it seems. Hope the best for them that this eventually change.

In terms of CGI-wise nowadays. Jurassic World and MonsterVerse definitely nail it with the realism. And no this ain't me being bias.

We're probably closer to the next Smash game than we are to Ultimate's reveal.

In a year or two Nintendo will drop their next console. And you know they're gonna want a new Smash on it ASAP.

The passage of time is bull****

I'm still not ready for half the roster to be gone...

Should've just kept porting Ultimate and updating it.
