Good vs Bad GAME ART (Extra)

BAD

 

Angry Gran Run

Conker's Bad Fur Day

Shaiya

These game titles in my opinion have bad game art for different reasons.

Angry Gran Run: The art is really primitive and yet the animation is not bad. It's a fun game but the detail in the art could be a bit better. But maybe that's just the charm of the game, as it's gaining popularity.

Conker's Bad Fur Day: I haven't played this game but I have watched other gamer on Youtube do gameplays of this especially PewdiePie. It seems like a fun game and is really crude. But the art gets on my nerves with how primitive it is. The lighting and the shading is really crude as you can see with the contrast between Conker and the background.

Shaiya: Shaiya is an MMORPG with detailed character designs but low and simplified backgrounds which badly affects the visual balance of the game.

GOOD

 

League of Legends (LOL)

 

Dragon Nest

 

These games have good game art for different reasons:

 

League of Legends: This game is highly detailed even though the camera is from above and can only move around along the playfield and zoom in and out. With the "Fog of war" feature, the use of light and shading is well done  and the perspective of the layouts, characters an items on screen is consistent. The only bad thing about is the strain on the computer's processor as you may have to lwoer the graphic quality to have a good FPS (frame per second) rate to avoid lags.

 

Dragon Nest: This game is a good example of a visually balance game, though not as detailed as LOL is. The details of the characters and the background compliment each other well, where one is not competing for the atention of the player. The camera of the game is adjustable for the player with the light/shading and perspective of the layout and characters adjusting smoothly.
