Namco is running a poll about the art style for the next Pac-Man game. Let's see our own results.

Post by: The Chef on October 03, 2012, 11:08:32 PM: I'm most partial to B and C, but isn't A the way the TV series is gonna look?
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: frostbite on October 05, 2012, 01:48:55 AM: they all look pretty bad, but I'd vote for C. B is my least favorite.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Markio on October 05, 2012, 10:58:42 AM: I like how Pac-Man looks in B and C. I would've expected the ghosts to look more old-timey in B. I voted for C...
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Toad on October 05, 2012, 11:39:04 AM: I like Pac-Man's design in B and the Ghost designs in C.

I haven't voted. All of them are kinda.. meh.

Post by: Godot on October 06, 2012, 12:17:58 AM: Don't get me wrong, C is cool because it reminds me of other things that I like, but D is by far the most interesting.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Ultima Shadow on October 06, 2012, 06:47:50 AM: For some reason, D reminds me of Courage the Cowardly Dog. So I'm voting for that one.

The number of votes for A is interesting, given that it's probably the safest option of the four.

Post by: The Chef on October 06, 2012, 08:41:48 PM: If by "past decade" you mean "two years", then yes.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Mason on October 06, 2012, 11:25:53 PM: Pac-Man himself in B is my favorite... but I prefer the ghosts in C.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Luigison on October 07, 2012, 06:25:42 AM: I had the same preference as Mason, but could see D doing very well if it had the right game environment.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Godot on October 07, 2012, 03:40:17 PM: To me D is the only unique one. They would all function just fine, but only one of these has a style that's distinctive enough to emulate. I've always thought that's part of the mark of a good style.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Weegee on October 07, 2012, 08:02:10 PM: 'D' looks like something out of iam8bit, which is rarely seen in games.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: frostbite on October 11, 2012, 03:13:22 PM: I like the ghosts in A and the general art style, but Pacman looks like someone I wouldn't get along with. Probably because of the big toothy smile and the eyes.

^ This.
I hate Pac-Man's big blue irises in A, especially, but I guess his appearance in C's not bad either. D would be interesting, as well.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Godot on October 11, 2012, 11:27:34 PM: Really as long as it's not A. I feel that art style is horrendously overused at the moment.
Title: Re: Pac-Man Art Style
Post by: Electric on October 14, 2012, 05:43:42 PM: D is a very interesting take on things, but what would be more interesting is if they use this old design.
