Next update reveals :O

Oh so he actually is a Wrestler, now I understand why that voiceline that is also used for Beowulf in Skullgirls… Iirc it’s based on a quote from a WWE wrestler (?)
Ngl, I like the idea but the voice acting is terrible on vg, without Sarah putting actual care into the VA sessions it’s obvious they don’t even bother.

It’s baffling how they don’t realize how ineffective and tacky their marketing is.

This actually looks really good! Or are my standards just lower because of the more recent splash arts? :see_no_evil:

I am liking this coming update so far, everything is well done, they just introduced new SAW’s skin as well.

It’s nicely rendered but doesn’t look anything like BF, and truth be told, could fit into basically any game.

I think we were all spoiled by Vainglory’s early years and the in-house art department led by Carlo Arellano: the look of the game was unique and extremely cohesive. Also, Sarah’s lore wove the various characters together, making the game much more than the sum of its parts.

Wow you hit the nail right on the head :cowboy_hat_face:

I instantly thought of that but I realized that the og days had me spoiled. I really should lower my expectations shouldn’t I?

Their teasers are painful. Though they aren’t the only ones teasing like that. I’ve seen that same style somewhere else. I think it’s some weird industry trend in certain places thats supposed to be effective, but its painful and cheesy.

Edit: That was a little harsh on them to say though. They are trying. I guess its a means to be cost effective, the short snippets of…usually random whatever…but they could make some awesome trailers if they wanted. Some of the fan made stuff when they had those competitions was epic, so its possible.

I really feel like the modern teasers/reveals lack the heart from the devs that they once had. I see them as being thrown out because new heroes and skins to be expected at this point, with not exactly the most possible care going into them, just enough to get the point across that new stuff is coming. Back in the older days, they felt much more impactful because you could feel that SEMC was proud of the new content they were providing, plus with the lore they usually came with, you could form an attachment to the new hero/skin easier by knowing who the new person to the fold was or why exactly a hero looked they way they did with another skin.

The ‘just enough to get the point across’ vibe is strong.

Twitter is free, tho … :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Seriously, though, it’s not a cost thing – it’s a feeble and misguided effort to create anticipation through deliberately withholding information about what’s coming.

I actually like the new saw skin splash art, hope they don’t just make him shoot double bullets and call it legendary.

It was a joke about the poorly made ringo skin. I hope they put more effort into this one.
