As hyperbolic as these images always are, they usually seem correct about most things to me.
Problem with Paper Mario's design though is his body got broken into distinct and less detailed parts, and his proportions got fucked, not any of the shit said here.
>>320340320
Those points in the OP allude to that, silly.
>>320338757
Smartphones ruined society.

I don't like the shoes on the new Paper Mario, that's about it
>>320341490
Only really the bits about not having legs and wearing mittens.
It never really pins down the problem with the design, just kinda notices some of the effects of it.
>>320338706
The shorts are the only correct complaint
>>320343141
allude being the keyword
not everything needs to be spelled out like a child is your demographic
>>320344221
It's stuff like complaining about the hat or the arms that gets me. Nothing about those is significantly different.
Paper Mario was redesigned because his movement looks much better with a less distinct body. When parts can sort of "float" they look much better and more stylized, but you can't do that with clearly defined joints attaching limbs, so you just draw the limbs.
You can't really see it in a picture, but a gif could show it easily.
>>320337905
Paper Mario was simply meant to be a story-telling of Mario's adventure, it wasn't until TTYD where Mario was actually made out of paper rather than having a pop-up book aesthetic, thus the disjointed limbs.
>>320338706
It only got worse from there
>>320347323
Ruby was always a fag though.

>>320346121
They could have done it more like Yoshi's Story or something, instead of having a small handful of parts with a small variety of poses and just tweening everything.
>>320347846
And Yoshi's Story, for comparison.

New May looks like shit, too.
>>320347962
Because that shit is hard, and takes a lot of time.
It's easier to just tween it, and it looks a bit smoother as well.
>>320346121
Yeah I agree, it looks like such disjointed shit because they were too lazy to actually make sprites, they just drew a few pieces and puppeteered them around. Man that first design would look great with a quality, "Wario Land Shake It" quality sprite.
>>320347846
>>320347962
Speaking of Yoshi...
>>320348481
Yeah people who develop products for us to buy should always do it the easy way, with as little effort as possible.
>>320348481
The movements are indeed smoother, but it looks bad and lazy.
Only a character like Rayman or Vectorman can really get away with that sort of thing without issue.
>>320348814
I'm not defending them, but it makes sense why they did it. It's a slightly cheaper way of doing it, and it doesn't look that bad if done properly. The problem here is that they didn't exactly do it as well as they could, and they also lost some of the detail and charm from the first game.
Companies will take the cheapest method if they can, as they are a business. And it turns out that tweening the animations is not only cheaper, but it also means that you have a bit more flexiability, as you have a variety of parts to works with that you can put together in a bunch of different ways.

>>320349597
Thanks man, good thing I wasn't looking forward to that shit.
>>320349391
I know.
I wish they stuck with the way they did it in Paper Mario, as the sprites there looked pretty good, and an HD version of those which have a few more frames of animation would look pretty good.
Back in my day mario and koopas had legs
>>320350047
Fuck Sticker Star for throwing out the TTYD/SPM style in favor of "Just trace the models of NSMB enemies and add a thick outline". They fucking ruined Dry Bones and Buzzy Beetle.
>>320350283
True, but remember
It could be worse

Paper Bowser was actually really cool in game, he seemed a lot more threatening and dignified than the other Bowser. Shame he had a fraction of the lines.
Still, glad they went with his PM64 personality.

Neat

>>320346121
This
It's noticable in TTYD but it's even really gorgeous looking on Super Paper Mario where Mario, Peach, Luigi and Bowser all move their limbs independently
>>320350969
The saturation was kinda weird in middle Bowser's image, I think I fixed it
>>320350951
>he seemed a lot more threatening and dignified than the other Bowser.
How is he more dignified? He argues and fights with the Mario & Luigi Bowser, just the same.
Also regular Bowser came off as more threatening. He was the one who orderedfor Peach's Castle to be destroyedand. He was the one who sicced Petey Piranha on the bros, and was the one who came up with the plan in the first place, before Paper Bowser came along to help him with his army.

>>320352457
Because of the delivery of his writing, of course. Bowser is still Bowser, but he comes off as less childish, stupid, and pompous in comparison.
>>320350969
I've always wondered what the DK94 DK would look like in 3D.
>>320349646

>>320351249

>>320337905
> his mommy bought him 20 years agoI miss you mom ;_;
>>320348584
he honestly looks kinda weird and stumpy. Which says a lot since Mario is kind of stumpy already.
The simplified TTYD/SPM/SS style works really nicely.
>>320352706
it lays eggs though
>>320350283
Around the 7th gen Nintendo just started standardizing the character designs of the series.
Everything's gotta be on model now.
>>320350047
The sticker star renders are so fucking good. I love that texture
>>320354232
He's more simplified and small than regular Mario. Old version looks better imo, it's simple and cute but not to the point where it's uncanny
>>320350969
middle everything is the worst.

>>320338706
It still baffles me that some people prefer the original GS character to the HGSS design. Sugimori's chunky art is charming, but the character design is seriously lacking.
>>320347323
A bad design remained bad. May's design is a downgrade, though.
>>320350047
Sticker Star has plenty of problems but adding fuzzy textures was GREAT.
>>320354523
I don't fully agree, but I see where you're coming from.
The tweened limbs from the TTYD style makes me think of paper puppets which I really like. Works nicely with the increased paper-ness of the later games.
>>320340320
Which happened in TTYD.
>>320354594
>middle everything is the worst
Brown Daisy is best Daisy though.
>>320354801
Oh boy, another "Old stuff is outdated trash, NEW IS BETTR EVERY TIME!!!1!!" post
>>320354801
For a lot of things it isn't the case
For the Paper Mario series, it holds true. Get fucked, youngfag.
>>320354962
You're right.
Except Brown Daisy
>>320354954
...Yes?
I'm describing the way Paper Mario's design changed going from 64 to TTYD.
>>320350047
The felt paper cutout thing is kinda cute, but I wish they'd pull away from the paper aspect of the series and focus more on the storybook aspect. Like watercolor backgrounds, crayons and painted textures, clean animated sprites. Paper gimmicks have slowly become the focus instead of story and atmosphere.
Also old enemy designs looked way better.
the real question is WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTING EFFECTS?
>>320355381
Was it just too much atmosphere?
>>320355381
The N64's hardware is to blame, and it was for the better. It added a 'dark' atmosphere to its games and it worked most of the time.
>>320355381
Intelligent Systems and Nintendo stopped giving a shit
Are there any other games where I can do silly things akin to BP only runs? Because those are more fun than pumping HP or FP by a long shot.
>>320355683
No dude, I'm talking about the very deliberately programmed 3D-like lighting effects for the 2D sprites.
>>320354523
>>320355381
>>320356067
Everything is being simplified away
All that will be left is a single sheet of felt paper

Koopalings and Boom Boom transitioned to 3D fine. If he ever does come back, it's probably for the bessed that he missed the N64/GCN era.

>>320358430
Yeah, near the end of original Dragonball, he laid an egg which had his son/reincarnation in it
>>320358614
No, those are better flat, much like Marios.
>>320358553
>>320358553
They do, they're hermaphrodites. Like slugs.
>>320358553
He lays eggs through his mouth.
No really
>>320358816
That was some bullshit magic demon technique for reincarnation, not typical reproduction.
>>320350969
Put in Gamecube era renders. There is a distinction between those and the new ones.
>>320356898
Henry, is that you?
>>320358906
He also had Tambourine, Piano, Cymbal, and Drum
>>320358906
Tambourine and the others werent reincarnations
>>320359120
>>320359140
that's why they're weaker and look like demonic mutants
>>320359205
Still, all Namekians that aren't Piccolo and Kami are descended from Guru, who presumably spit his children out as eggs, too
>>320359115
Nothing better than a psychopath mage who tells bad puns.
>>320359321
Because all the other members of his race fucking died, he had to do that so Nameks didn't go extinct
Guru isn't in that demon clan, so I can see why his little clone slugs were pretty normal looking.
>>320359439
Mmmhm, he's intelligent, nihilistic, and has a wicked sense of humor. Reminds me of myself, quite frankly.
>>320349646
The original is better cause it has that sexy gaze and smug smile.
>>320359583
The mutations aren't the point. The point is that the Namekians are all essentially male and lay eggs
>>320359796
Yeah true but also, piccolo has a dick and pussy
>>320354594
I like those kinds of renders. They make me really nostalgic.
How this discussion turn into one about Nameks? Fucking how?
Anyone else really miss toadettes? Seems like there's only one now.
>>320360840
There IS only one now. Things like Toad Town just aren't done anymore. For the most part only things that appeared in the main Mario games show up now.
>>320360985
>There IS only one now.
Fuck. I miss when Toads weren't faggy little Smurfs
>>320358614
Not too round though. It's better to be rounded and curvy, but not spheres.
