>The best part of Battleborn is its prologue cinematic. That's not to say the game itself isn't any good -- in fact, it's a wonderful single- and multiplayer experience for the fantastical first-person-shooter crowd. However, the opening video is divine. It's evocative, rich and effortlessly cool, built on a base of smooth hip-hop and anime-inspired, neon-coated illustrations. When I think of Battleborn, my mind is immediately saturated in the cinematic's soulful rhythm.
>This is a new brand of video game artistry. As a game, Battleborn doesn't feature cartoon characters; it's a fully realized 3D experience from Gearbox, the creators of Borderlands. In the same vein as Borderlands, Battleborn is highly stylized, but it looks nothing like the opening cinematic.
>That was on purpose.
>The cinematic's energetic animations and its mellow soundtrack balance each other perfectly.
>Video games are art, and experiences like the Battleborn prologue help demonstrate this aspect to the wider world. Video game have always been an artistic expression but it wasn't until they stopped being the domain of cis white men that they became high art.
>Today, the potential for wild and diverse artistic experimentation exists within gaming, But large studios are mostly focused on creating lifelike worlds so it's our duty as gamers to support artistic endeavors like Battleborn instead of run of the mill games like Overwatch.
Why aren't you playing Battleborn, the first high art video game?

>Support artistic endeavors like Battleborn! Not Run of the mill games like Overwatch!
Except if you are looking at it from an artistic perspective, Overwatch has better composed settings and designs that are more aesthetically pleasing and technically balanced. Battleborn is a class A case in not fucking understanding color theory and environment composition.
And if you REALLY wanna go the animation route, Overwatch uses squash and stretch animation along with smearing, traditional animation techniques that are rarely used in games, making animations seem more fluid and dynamic, in comparison to the clunky static animations in Battleborn.

This keeps coming back to people thinking this has to do with Overwatch. Why are people even comparing the two vastly different games? I just hate Battleborn it itself. Its way too silly and goofy, the art style in both cinematics and ingame are ugly to me as well. The characters are just way too forcefully strange and diverse. Its like they said "Fuck it lets make the weirdest thing possible." Sometimes you gotta play it safe with some elements.

>>339165948
Games CAN be art in the same way a soup can can be art. It's all opinion based on the "artist" and the viewer.
Some games lend themselves more to the term "art" than others.
Example, The Witness, it's a game that faced much discussion, love, and hate for a variety of reasons on release and all in all, it wasn't a great game, but it was an interesting artistic piece, combining a myriad of concepts to turn your head and world details to shift your mentality, everything from the way the landscape is molded to the way the two things might line up to show something new, like the Mountain Goddess and the Swamp Statue looking as if they're holding hands from below.
Etc.
Most games don't qualify as "art" because they weren't designed to be. They were designed to be either entertaining or a quick buck, depending.
Which is also comparable to "art" today. In the form of commissions and Requests via Drawthreads, as a form of entertainment/enjoyment or a quick buck for the former.
>>339165769
What is it with video game writers and not understanding the medium they're writing about? If you're going to push video games as art (something I'm not opposed to), you should focus on what separates the medium from others, not that the best part of it could be entirely unrelated to it.
>>339167278
Overwatch is the first Blizzard game I have ever touched, I wish Battleborn/Gearbox fanboys would actually accept criticism pointing out how terribly designed the game is from the ground up and that their marketing campaign is in complete damage control because Overwatch is the more well put together game both technically and visually.
Battleborn could have been decent, but they were lazy as shit about it, didn't even try in some aspects, shat it out to try and beat Overwatch's launch date to try and cash in (And then got fucked because Overwatch got pushed back), and didn't try to run a "We're thoughtful and caring developers and have been wronged when we are trying our best" tier marketing campaign
>>339168293
Mostly this. While they're different games and play massively differently to the point of barely being comparable, they're still compared and judged, and the result is Battleborn is shit all around, could have been great if not for a myriad of glaring mistakes, and due to timing.
>art
I hope that this pretentious bullshit killing gaming ends soon and the gaming industry crashes and burns.
This is exactly what is wrong with gaming since the fucking mid-90s. Style over substance bullshit.
And it's sad that you kids never knew what gaming really was. You were born having Nintendo and Sony brainwash you into thinking garbage games were actually good. I pity you all and ask you to please take a year or two to play NOTHING but pre-1995 games.
You'll understand when you do.
>>339165769
those rhymes sound like they were put together by a 5 year old, it's jarring how poor his flow. It sounds like he's trying to emulate the mid eighties poetic jazz influenced hip hop but failing to capture what made that style so great.
>>339168504
>Art is killing the gaming industry
>Not the myriad of companies and publishers who just want to shit out games as fast as possible for as much as possible to get them as much money as possible without making a "good" game
I'd rather have far less games specialized for groups of people so it appeals well instead of a mountain of games that appeal to almost all "gamers."
Video games aren't art, but something more. There isn't plenty of art within a video game - the models, the textures, the music, the writing - but taken alone, those things don't make it a game. A game needs theory, structure, and rules. It's the combination of art and mathematics that makes a video game, and that's why they're truly the highest form of collaborative artistic expression.
>>339165948
Here's something I don't understand:
Games LITERALLY consist of things considered art. So why are games themselves not considered art? Are games less than the sum of their parts?
The cinematic is cool but it isn't well-animated. They tried to stylize it like FLCL and TTGL and it just didn't work.
>>339167756
Name/source?
>>339168812
I like this explanation.
>>339166398
sauce?
>>339165769
That cinematic literally just damn near put me to sleep.
Overall the whole cinematic feels slow and the music they picked didn't help matters.
I think they tried to do a Borderlands opening but failed to realize that what made those work is that they where shorter and didn't waster their time with shots that held on to them doing literally nothing.
As for it turning cinematics into high art, I would argue Shadow of the Colossus did that way before this game was even conceptualized.
>>339168812
There is*
>>339169027
The more complicated and complex a work of art becomes the less focused it becomes. It becomes diluted, art is supposed to stipulate an inherent thought or convey a single message in it's entirety, and because videogames are by nature diverse to hold our attention, and complex in many aspects from visual message to story etc. it's harder to denote them as art.
Not to say they can't be art, but these are the same excuses to claim 2d/3d animation can't be art and many art institutions still have a stick in their ass about it. The best way to disqualify your thing as art though is to profit on it in a massive scale and having that as the intention from the start, as in they cram all this artistic stuff in it to make it seem deep so it sells better, instead of being designed from the bottom disregarding said artistic stuffs marketability.
Basically most artistic games are only artistic pandering, because at the end of the day the intent is to sell
>>339169735
The art/entertainment dichotomy is a lie. Art made for a purpose is still art. A chair is just as much a piece of art as a sculpture.
>>339166716
The levels of irony involved.
Beethoven's 5th symphony is art, Anal Cunt's picnic of love is high art.
>mfw people still arguing about what is art
>>339167953
Visually Overwatch's cutscenes are almost modern Disney film tier
Battleborn's cutscenes are saturday morning cartoon tier
I can't understand how anyone could prefer Battleborn artistically in any sense.
>>339170146
Art is the language of the soul.
>>339168008
As far as I know, it started because Gearbox started shit on Twitter towards Blizzard. After that the drones and viral marketers went into full-force with the comparisons.
Looks like Republican Space Rangers from GTA.
>>339168008
Battleborn was marketed as a crazy team based shooter like Overwatch, instead of more of a strategic MOBA style game.
It's only natural consumers would make a direct comparison with the release dates being so close together. Gearbox likely knew this too, they just decided to take the risk for some stupid reason.
>>339167515

This. It is the ultimate medium (non-ironically).
That being said all videogames to this day have failed to fully represent this and anyone who claims that videogames are "art" are tryhard beta faggots. They're art or even more than that but keep it to yourself if you don't want to look like a loser.

>>339165769
>The best part of Battleborn is its prologue cinematic
Literally not even made by the game studio so it does nothing to convey the quality and experience of the actual game.
>>339169998
While that is true, it is harder to define actual intent if art is a marketed thing. I'm not saying that it's not viable as art, but defining it as art in and of itself or having that as its reason is an important distinction. A chair can be a work of art, but it isn't art because it is a chair, a videogame can be a work of art, but it wouldn't be because it's a videogame.
It's the difference between something being art and something being artistic, the comparison I would draw is between movies in general and specific directors like Tarantino, it's the same format and intent, but there is a huge difference between cash in movies and ones crafted to sell, and those crafted to be unique not just to sell but to be unique for the purpose of itself.
Games aren't considered an artistic medium by many institutions because art is so few and far between, there were a lot of experimental and artistically driven games back in the pa1/n64 era that are considered art by these institutions, and there are ones today that do well to be considered art, but it's not an easy inherent thing to games as a whole, just like the disparity within movies

I haven't watched the cinematic entirely, just skipped to the middle of it and watched about ten seconds without sound, but this seem pretty decent. Like if I had an interest in Battleborn to begin with it's probably something I'd enjoy watching.
It's pretty rare to have a game intro with a cartoon animation done like this, nowadays it's either half-assed 3d, static drawings with vocie-over, or just a rail sequence where your character walk from place to place as an obnoxiously slow NPC ramble nearby.
The song is so fucking bad.

>>339173713
you can't really appreciate how bad it is unless you watch the entire thing. i bought the game because it's kinda fun, but that was the worst cinematic i've ever seen.

Also, this fight scene fucking blows. The choreography is RWBY-tier, and that's saying quite a lot about how bad it is.

I need to emulate this game, I never did beat it. I got part way in and felt kind of cheated that it wasn't more like BFM1.

Jesus, just imagine if they ever watched Samurai Champloo, which this is obviously taking cues from

>Video games are art, and experiences like the Battleborn prologue help demonstrate this aspect to the wider world. Video game have always been an artistic expression but it wasn't until they stopped being the domain of cis white men that they became high art.
>Today, the potential for wild and diverse artistic experimentation exists within gaming, But large studios are mostly focused on creating lifelike worlds so it's our duty as gamers to support artistic endeavors like Battleborn instead of run of the mill games like Overwatch.
These are fake, the rest are real.
this is how you really make an opening cinematic that doesn't resemble the gameplay or graphics:

Looks like something a 12 year old might draw.

One of the best 12 yo artist ever then.

It's like the obligatory perfect video game intro.
Remember when every Japanese game had an intro like this?
>>339165769
Did those fucks at sleepy cabin do this? It looks like shit
>>339171835
>it is harder to define actual intent if art is a marketed thing
Well then we might as well just throw out the majority of human expression ever made, the sistine chapel was not made for free.
so this is just blatant shilling, right? the writer of this article got paid by Gearbox, yes?
>>339184367
Yeah, it clearly is. The intro looks worse than most of the modern day trash you see on Cartoon Network.
Infact, if you didn't tell people, they'd assume it's some cartoon made for 8-12 year olds because that is exactly what it looks like.

I said for 12 year olds. It's literally the quality of your average kids cartoon.

Take a few art history classes.
>>339172998
this anon kinda gets it, but still doesn't get the point. Trying to argue that something isn't art already means you lose. Anything CAN be art; it just depends on if it's any good or not, and that point of view only exists if the proper argument is made in it's favor.
tl;dr it's subjective and you can't say something isn't art.

That's why I love Kubrick, when it comes to cinematography he was a genius.

IMO the only games that would even qualify for """"art"""" would be games that utilize the medium cleverly, either through storytelling or gameplay.
saying that a game is art because it's got a cool intro is retarded because it's praising putting an anime in front of the real game, not for being a good game
>>339185753
I think you meant why you love Gearbox.
Like, they went so far with their HIGH art, they've blinded themselves with PERFECTION.
You may have not noticed it, but, see the blur on the edges? That's because it's OUT of FOCUS.
And the colors red and purple? They are ENEMIES so they have PROPER COLORING (red is an ANGRY color).
Dude. Might have blown your mind with this top-notch symbolism (shit's deep, I know), but... just another day in Burch's universe... ;)

I hate battleborn, but damn even I feel sad about them.
>>339167854
Pretty shitty analogy, seeing as cars have been seen as art.

that's a pretty crushing and devastating verdict for the game

This is a high art cinematic.

Why do they plaster this hideously character designed everywhere? I was thinking of getting Battleborn but when I saw that guy I changed my mind.
>>339165769
>your game is so shitty, your flash opening is actually the best part of your game
>>339166942
This.
It made me nostalgia hard thinking about Alexander and Aeon Flux. The art also looks like something i would see in a music video.
>>339165769
>best part is a shitty flash cartoon
>unironically using 'cis white men'
Gearbox should just give up on Stillborn and go back to Blunderlands. Seems to be the only game they can make that isn't a complete dumpster fire that actually makes them money.

People only wanted video games to be recognized as art so they'd stop getting bullied. Now video games are art and everything is cinematic and problematic.
