I can't help but think of "Outlaws," released by LucasArts in like 1996ish. See:

compare to:

Obviously this "new" game looks nicer, but it's (sort of) been done ;)

cell shading could make for some really good anime based games

problem is it doesn't seem to look quite right yet, and they need to do the entire environment, not just the characters.

I wish they'd cell shade the whole thing.

Poorly done realistic environments + cell shaded characters = lame.

Well I can't see any cellshading as CVG is bleating for me to sign up for an account once again. Why don't they just cunt off and die and leave gaming stuff to a site that actually lets casual visitors look at it, the retarded fuckholes.

I think it's hard to judge a cell shaded game until you see it moving. It could be really cool that things are totally 3D and yet in any one frame look hand-drawn. At the same time, being totally 3D when you move around them could spoil the effect or simply make everything like 3D but without detail. (Hmm, I've not explained that very well but hopefully someone gets what I'm trying to say.)

I kinda dig JSRF (which I have seen moving on my Xbox). It looks cool. It makes a change. I'd probably still say that THPS3 has better graphics, though.

It looks kinda weird. The whole quasi-realistic environments mixed with cell-shaded charactes seems a little strange, but I guess we'll see how it turns out.

I can NOT believe a game would be coming out looking this. This is *totally asstastic*. Totally.

Lithtech looks revolutionary next to this. Who in the hell thought this was a good idea???!!!

i think cell shading actually looks pretty cool. some KINDA new and different, long overdue. but personally i think its a good change, something new to the eye, trying to make the game more and more real looking gets boring after a while i think!
