A Truly Timeless Art Style: Our Favorite Cel-Shaded Games

SuperPhillip Central writes, "Many games from the past generation (think PS2 era) have already become dated mostly due to their graphics and art style. However, we at SuperPhillip Central believe that one art style helps in making a game stand the test of time. That's, of course, cel-shading. While there are dozens upon dozens of games that use the artistic tactic, we have come up with a list of fourteen of our favorites. From Zelda to Dragon Quest, this list comprises the very best of the art form."

Ahh finally someone put XIII on the list man I don't know why people hate this game so much, it's a real shame

Natso4012d ago (Edited 4012d ago )

You mean VIII right? As in Dragon Quest?

I don't recall the game receiving much hate, but I could be wrong.

L6RD7BLU34012d ago

My gawd no, XIII please look into it

Natso4011d ago

OH WOW!

I didn't even see that game on the list.

I completely looked over that.

TooTall194012d ago

Dark Cloud 2 is my favorite. Wind Waker was also well done.

Naruto Storm series is a great one. I love cell shade styled games!

ninjahunter4012d ago

Im glad they didnt include borderlands, little known is that its not actually cell shaded. Its got a cartoony looking texture work, but the lighting is just standard smooth lighting.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing94d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff218394d ago (Edited 94d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing93d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel198993d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein93d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq93d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff218394d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons93d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff218393d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel198993d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno93d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
