Always love it when an artist from a famous franchise tries a take on characters from another one!

Glad he isn't working on sonic.. Yikes

XisThatKid1558d ago

I don't know why people are complaining about this is great. I love when artist acknowledge other projects especially in respect.
My biggest qualm is Tails looks a bit on the pudgy side he still looks good but this is all pretty fn dope

bouzebbal1557d ago

Xis,

I respect your opinion. Being an all time sonic fan, I don't think these arts look good.. I mean they are realistic but not good looking.
I prefer by far the good old style https://images.app.goo.gl/y...

He’s definitely skilled but he missed the mark on some things. Most notably knuckles wears boxing gloves, except in that god forsaken boom series (well the cartoon was kinda funny), in all the games. It’s like his iconic look. Don’t get me wrong other than that he looks great!

He’s got that nice movie look going for it, haven’t seen the movie yet but I think knux and tails aren’t in it.

imagine missing the point of a reimagined character.

Xb1ps41558d ago

Ummmm... its “reimagined”?! In other words it’s his take on the character, in other other words it’s his version of the characters?!

Stopac1558d ago

The hell? Did you guys read my full comment or did you read like the first sentence and then raged?

I pointed out traits that were great and what it had going for it. I mentioned one thing, ONE THING, that I thought was true to the spirit of the character as just something that could be improved on like everyone does when they interpret art. If you don't agree with me, fine, but don't write off my comment like I don't get the point here. No need to be dismissive.

When you share art, you're open to subjective appreciation and conversation. That's the whole point of sharing your work.

And I still stand by the fact that I think this is a great recreation of knuckles and tails.

spoiler tails comes in after credits

XisThatKid1558d ago

Tails is in an end credits scene and there are echidna characters in the beginning and they look kinda like this. Movie really isn't bad and oh well for anyone else, spoilers....

ShadowWolf7121557d ago

...are you seriously trying to say the style of GLOVES is something needed to be "true to the spirit of the character"?

Stopac1557d ago

I'm saying something that could have been improved upon, if there was anything. In no way did I ever say it failed like you guys getting triggered over. I think its pretty great rendition either way.

Down vote me into hell I'll stand by my comments and spoilers are a dick move, glad to know the age range of people I'm talking to (i get you're being asinine to me specifically but do you think I'm the only one that can see your comments?). Done with this conversation.

gold_drake1558d ago

They said in the article tails looks a bit weird but they need to remember Tail's is a little kid compared to them so that's perfect if you really think about it. I think he needs to do designs for the next movie

Xb1ps41558d ago

I did get the little kid vibe.. I think it’s the little popped belly though compared to the slimmer others that throws it off a bit.

babadivad1558d ago

Nah, Tails looks weird af. Sonic and knuckles look great, they dropped the ball on Tails.

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

Notellin2d ago

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken2d ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH2d ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken2d ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.
