How is the design on the top any more overdesigned than the one on the bottom?

If anything, top design is understated by comparison. I mean I'm all for jumping on bandwagons and irrationally hating on Gearbox, but how are Battleborn's heroes overdesigned compared to Overwatch?

Because I just don't see it.

Overwatch designs went to shit post-launch when they started to concern themselves with the opinions of Neofaggers.

FACT

That's one of the few characters in battleborn that isn't overdesigned, and I never perceived Orisa as being one either.

Overwatch designs are awful.

Its actually amazing how they're adopted into being acceptable just because blizzard made them.

Also, for the record. Paladins has better designs than OW & BB combined.

not that anyone cares.
>>
>>389127467
>Paladins has better designs

No.
>>
>>389127467
Paladins character designs have potential. they just have to not be accompanied by terrible textures and wonky animations.
>>
>>389127192
Because it's overtly stylised without any necessity.
"Oh, it's a robot, but he's dressed from a time that robots don't exist! G E T I T!"

Orisa's is fine because she is meant to be a public defense machine. There's nothing on her design that breaches that field.
>>
Because bot adheres to the aesthetic of the game, aka robots. Robots have many parts. That robot's color template blends with the enviroment and itself. I don't even care about Overwatch, pretty mediocre game with Disney aesthetics but that design tells something about the character. The different marks and logos serve as a purpose to tell us more about the character, he might be from some weird robot tribe. Character looks heavy but colors don't look threatening. Support.
Top is LMAO ROBOT IN A SUIT. Hero makes no sense. What is that gun? is it a sniper? Must be, look how it has a bazillion scopes. But that posture doesn't suit the one of a sniper. Oh is it because he's a gentleman? And those pants, are they clothing or actual metal parts? I mean, they look like clothing but then, are they cut in half and the bottom part some extra part of clothing? It's a fucking mess. And supposedly, it's one of the best designed heroes. Also, I don't even fucking know what's the deal of his right arm, like, what the fuck is that swirly gold thing.
>>
>>389127296
Seriously. What fucking happened to them? Why are character designs now about "representation?" When we heard about Doomfist I thought he was going to be some badass robotman. Not some ordinary tribal man with a big arm. Is all we have to look forward to: "I wonder what country the next character will be from!"

cherrypicking
marquis isn't overdesigned, he's rather simple and easily read
however i can point to half a dozen battleborn designs i don't understand at all (the character whose image i'm posting here, the two lesbian characters who look incredibly similar whose names i don't know, the big guy with the tiny head who isn't overdesigned but just plain looks terrible)
in general, battleborn characters have less of a problem with being overdesigned and more of a problem with being really fucking ugly
like that teenage girl character with the giant demon shadow thing that fights on her behalf
she's disgustingly ugly and her pet monster looks more stupid than it does cool. it's a good concept ruined by looking hideous and turning off people like me who would be attracted to a character like that

>>389127192

Overdesign is when you have too many fucking clashing elements in a single character and/or just too many extraneous elements. For example, any JRPG character design ever (eg pants made entirely of belts, random shit dangling on their clothes, etc).

The top one is not the worst design because the colors evoke steampunk (which is a common theme). But Battleborn as a whole has terrible character design mostly because the characters are ugly and have no thematic unity. They also don't really match the environment in which they're placed.

In Overwatch, every character seems like they came directly out of that world, even if their kits are pretty goofy. You can take a random person and make them "Overwatchy" in the same way you can take a piece of technology and make it "Appley".

Is there a way to make something "Battleborny"? Well, you have a steampunk robot assassin, a Mexican wrestler, some ghost thing, a woman in a Victorian dress, etc. Also, they're all hideous looking.

Battleborn comes from the League school of random fucking characters all shoved together in an arena. The only way you can get away from that is if your characters are fap-bait, which they're not.
>>
>>389127192
orisa is actually one of the ugliest characters in the game for that reason, look at that gun, it has so many unnecessary and distracting details, and thematically shes just a fucking mess, a cow robot centaur that represents an african tribal god with a fucking bongo backpack and a fucking machine gun is honestly one of the worst things ive ever heard of. bastion on the other hand just has a lot of flat planes and basic mechanical joints similar to the classic gundam designs, hes a grunt robot but appealing and stands out uniquely as well.

>>389127682
but their release pattern has always been to cover all the nationalities that havent been covered considering most of the heroes are just kind of stereotypes of their country of origin, and doomfist was long known as an african warlord type character as seen in ingame posters and shit, i agree that the more tribal looking aspect is dog shit, but him being just a big black guy with a robot arm wasn't suprising to anyone

>>389127192

Easily. You can mainly spot it by details that don't add anything to a design other than making it visually more busy. Perfect example is Marquis' legs. Is he wearing pants with kneepads over them? Or are they visible robotic joints? If his legs are meant to be robotic but shaped to look like pants, then why do they have the same texture as his coat which is obviously fabric? The detail there doesn't make this clearer, it just makes it more confusing.

That's without even mentioning his ridiculously inconsistent gun design and the pointless etching/lines all over his gold parts.
>>
>>389128136
>but him being just a big black guy with a robot arm wasn't suprising to anyone
I knew this as well, I guess I was still expecting his design to be more... exciting.

His name is fucking DOOMFIST after all. I thought he was going to be imposing. What a letdown.
>>
orisa is cute
>>
>>389128248
well you can use his robot man skin, its far more interesting compared to his default
>>
>>389127192
It's not overdesigned, it's just ugly as fuck.

In a hero shooter, the way the hero look is very important. Mainly because the people who play them are fucking autists that fall in love with the characters, spending hundreds of dollars on outfits for them.

>>389128136
i was really hoping doomfist would be an angry urban black man, sorta like barret from final fantasy 7. someone i could identify with and have fun playing and making jokes about
instead we got a boring african, the second african character in a row at that, with nothing interesting about him or his character besides being generically evil

Yeah, I don't know who the fuck signed off on Orisa's character design. Easily the worst character design in Overwatch. How can you have cool ass characters like Lucio and Bastion next to that thing?

Paladins' designs are fucking garbage, dude. Do you want to know why Overwatch is so damn popular? It's the art design. The character design. They've made a pretty decent game but what absolutely carries it is the characters. The world. It's the same reason that Lawbreakers failed, because it was so hideous.

People will bitch about Overwatch to the end of time, but most of them will still check in whenever there's an update or keep up with progress to see if there's anything that might bring them back because they like the game, on some level.
>>
>>389129148
Kek, Sombra's fan design while her """ARG""" was going on were a dozen times better.
>>
>>389129148
She's hated because her gun is ass. There's no ifs or buts about it, her weapon is fucking garbage and her win rate and pick rate speaks for itself. She's also supporty and flanky so without a good front and a team that can capitalize on Sombra's plays her tools are swiftly devalued which means that she's rarely ever useful unless you're playing with 5% best players in the world who know how to work it. And the saddest thing is that at the end of the day you could still just play someone with more consistency like Tracer or McCree.

I would actually say battleborn is more hit and miss while OW tries to be as inoffensive as possible, like there isn't a single character you can truly work up an anger about in OW probably because they're less characters and more plain avatars.

Orisa is a defense robot reprogrammed and redecorated by a clever young african girl. Unless you take issue with the child genius angle, there's nothing really offensive about the design in Overwatch's universe. In fact, it's a little on the boring side compared to other characters.

Marquis' very concept is the most obnoxious sort of internet steampunk wank. He has a monocle. A thing on his chest made to look like a pocket watch. Everything is some kind of brassy material. Bowler hat. Gun looks like a sci-fi hybrid of a period pistol and an umbrella. (Not from this angle, though)

Orisa's design fits in the world perfectly, Marquis' design is glaringly weird in-universe, because he's kind of a joke.

The battleborn designs really aren't as bad as people here think. Designs don't need to be realistic or well proportioned to be attractive. Battleborn just pushed it a little too far, I think they do it deliberately. That along with adverse asymmetry makes people hate it. Also reputation, pritchford and Burch.

Sniperbong in stillborn was probably the only decent character designwise.

Orisa is fine I feel, could probably do without the cloth hanging just to make it more 'unga bunga'.

Was I shilling for anything in that post?

Paladins' designs are mediocre at best. People are utterly in love with Overwatch's, and already were before the game even came out. If Paladins' designs were really good, it'd have more of a base than bitter people looking for an alternate to Overwatch.

Look at old Transformers designs and then look at Michael Bay designs. One is simple and recognizable, if you break it down to just their colors you can tell what the colors are referring to usually when its a good design, you can tell who they are in a scene when they are moving around doing frantic actions, even with other characters in the scene, over designed means that there is way too much detail which makes it incredibly hard to focus on something that makes it recognizable and distinct, and when they start to move they almost become a blur, when they clash with other characters that are also designed like this it can be hard to tell characters apart.

Over designing things is a practice done by people who come out of art schools and think that more detail means more interesting design. Its is a flawed logic.

Michael bay transformers has some pretty great designs for robots. It inspired an entirely new aesthetic that has been used since it was released.

Old transforms looks cool and campy, but it is a shit design overall and made by someone who lacks the skill of the transformers modeller.

Just look at art pieces made in dark ages vs renaissance.

This anon has a point. The cartoony style has an advantage of being easy to track visually. This was Valve's explicit purpose with TF2-- they also made sure the silhouettes were distinctly different to make it even easier to track.

In Lawbreakers, everything looks the same, making the whole scene look like a clusterfuck. Michael Bay movies suffer from the same problem, causing the issue where shit happens on the screen and you can't remember any of it.

1. a Hacker, and
2. a gang member
who both tend to be shown with stupid fucking haircuts.
Also the combo of her hair bangs sticking out in front of her, her bald head side, wide thick coat, and thin leggings without shoes give her a clear 'vulture' motif that I feel crazy for considering no else noticed it yet. I mean isn't her passive named opportunist or something?

Wtf are you talking about Transformers is a really bad example as thier cgi artists are some of the best in the world currently.

Their designs aren't bad especially for the main characters and have become icons for this age. Sure they do have shit designs but that is with everything, the transformers franchise isn't something to pick on especially when it has proven so successful financially.

Overwatch designs have the same issue, has some great designs and some shit ones. But for the most part they have iconic easily recognizable characters.

TF2 never hit off anywhere except with the gaming community, there has been zero interests for animations, films or anything other than the shit game itself.

TF2 is a complete assfire dogshit game that only existed because for the most part the class based shooter wasn't really popular except for TF.

That is until DOTA came out and later the more popular and successful League of Legends. Which pretty much inspired your Overwatch, Paladins, Smite you know all your current most popular games which function off of E sports.

Lawbreakers did suck because it had bland game design, and you really don't make a competitive shooter during Overwatch's hayday. Especially when you still have to compete with games like Paladins which is free.

I am just glad both Randy Pitchford and Cliff Blazinski were both BTFO by one game, their game designs themselves did help though. Now a game like Quake Champions might actually get some players because the 35 year olds here have been itching for that fast paced fps arena bullshit forever.

All in all design is subjective, simple can suck and detailed can suck, both also have the opportunity to be good though.

If youre referring to that Borderlands shit that is a completely different thing. Style does not have anything at all to do with how good the graphics are. Hes talking about the fact that they cant actually make the graphics more realistic because the recognizable style of the game is cartoony, the characters are cartoony looking, and he doesnt like that for some reason.

Imagine if Team Fortress 3 was going to have hyper realistic graphics. The jump from 1 to 2 had people scratching their heads and either turning away from it or being interested in it because it was interesting looking visually, given how popular and recognizable TF2s style is now, do you think they would really be able to "improve the graphics" this way? THIS is what Randy was talking about with Borderlands, not simplifying or over designing, he cant make it look more graphically impressive because the style and look that makes the games recognizable would fall to the wayside, it would stop looking like a cartoon and start looking like CGI. If Borderlines had "good graphics" it would look something like RAGE, thats not saying it would look bad, but it would certainly not look Borderlands as youve come to know it.

I don't think you can make the argument has a concise style, it's by design made to appeal to absolutely everyone, sci fi, western, fantasy, anime etc
There is some attempt to tie everything together by making every character have at least some futuristic element (future gunslinger, future Viking) but I doubt you could take a different games character and apply some Overwatch "style" and have anyone pinpoint what game it's referencing, it's just too vague.

That sounds like it's partly due to burnout then.

>>
>>389127192
overdesign is a pretty explicit term. IT comes in several forms:
too much details everywhere. Think Renaissance paintigs with 50 layers of embroided everywhere. Too much is too much.
One gimic repeated too much. It's common in games to have gimmic characters, but when each part of the body gets the same item it just becomes grotesque. that's the "belt and zipper" syndrome.
finally you can have "the random mess" design, where the artist couldn't define his character, so each piece of clothing is designed like some sort of flashy artifact, And they often don't even match in colors that are all fluo and bright. This is you Typical DA OC.
That said, overdesign can be intended to show a character personality (exentric, obsessed, overworldy), but in modern games it mostly comes from incompetent artists copying each others, or "big names" stuck in a yes men bubble and flanderizing themselves.

>>389134283
instead of balancing him they remade him into a new champ
Riot learned that people got tired of a new champion with broken mechanics coming out every other week(S2 and S3) so they slowed down the releasing of new champs. But to compensate for that they're reworking perfectly balanced old champions into new champions that are next to impossible to balance while giving less and less options on how to play the game.

No it doesn't. "African" implies that the person in question "hails from Africa".

The original Transformers look goofy, like they'd have trouble aiming properly and firing their weapons. Michael Bay's at least look like they serve some benefit besides being giant chunks of metal. TF2 is not a good example of good design for the purposes you chose, they are literally clones that have been coloured differently.

None of this is good design, you're right about interpretation, and that's the thing. It doesn't matter as long as it's interpreted properly. You can just paint a skin, like in tf2, and people will understand. What you're talking about in Game terms has nothing to do with what this thread is about. This is the problem, people like you get nostalgic about shit that people didn't have the ability to make good.

Literally battleborn has better cohesion than anyone in this thread gives it credit for. You can take any two characters and just by looking at them determine their role in the narrative of the universe. That is provided you played at least to the end of the tutorial to gain enough context. I guess instead they should have just smeared Red and blue paint over everything.

>>389129364
Well, you're mostly right, but if you look at Hanzo for exemple, it's a pretty basic and boring design.
For me, Blizzard's success comes from the way they polish their game. Even big companies always have nasty textures/bugs/animations somewhere, but Blizzard manage to give something crafted with a lot of attention every time. It's smooth as fuck.

detail is not the actual problem, it's when the details overtake readability
take real life for example, everything has an unimaginable level of detail down to the sub-subatomic level, but those details generally vanish into a cohesive whole outside of close inspection, which is due to similar colors and shapes

take my arm for example, there's tons of veins and hairs and little blemishes and moles, but their colors are derived from the general colors of the skin, and their shapes flow with the rest of the arm, so it doesn't actually look overly complicated (even though a single cell is more complex than a top-of-the-line PC)

Fact is, OP, "overdesigned" has always been a purely subjective term for how intricate the viewer thinks a design should be. For many it's totally possible to lose the appeal of an image (character for instance) by drawing in too many details that might detract from the more important aspects of the character (i.e. an edgelord who wears two hats, and the game never explains why he wears two hats).

It's not really a big deal and only snobs would actually argue about it. You either like it or you don't.

you don't want to be flashy and eccentric when you're an assassin that attacks from a distance, giving him a full-ninja suit would not work either because he would be too anonymous.

That's kinda true. His voice lines are really lame and flat because Blizzard wants to keep things tame.
It works fine with good guys or silly characters like Reinhardt or Junkrat where you can ham it up while keeping it safe.
>>
>>389138667
That doesn't even make sense. Any good power armor or equipment design shouldn't have you shouldering the weight of the equipment. Do you hear Iron Man complaining or grunting about how heavy his armor is? Or Samus?
It would have mechanisms in place to make it easier to lift and move around.

I don't understand why. Sure, maybe you don't want him to punch people into red mist while he screams obscenities, but you can still make an energetic character. He's fucking supposed to be evil, make him hammy. They should have gotten terry crews.

Marquis has a great design, one of the few good ones in Battleborn.

The "overdesigned" parts are the golden ornate stuff, but his entire character is Victorian-esque, which was all about visual saturation.

Orisa isn't really overdesigned, she's just shit, except for guys who really wanted a robot waifu, which I can respect.

Some people talk about "thematic unity" but I don't think that should be a rule. Like Street Fighter has very little thematic unity between characters. Ryu and C.Viper look like they come from 2 different games as with Blanka and Q but people fucking love those designs and 2 of those are instantly recognizable. I think trying to play to one theme all the time can end up being restricted

Way too vague there, bucko. That's like saying every fighting game should have a 2d sprite character blocked in with solid colour to contrast among the 3d characters because it'd a "different theme". Clearly not.

There's literally nothing good about it. Battleborn has the same garbage humor as borderlands, and suffers for it. Every single character has "CUHRAZEE" as their adjective, giving the audience no further reason to give a shit.

It's not.

At least the BB robot has a consistent theme in his design even if it runs contrary to his role. (Aside from the fact that gentlemen sniper is the most fedora tipping character archetype you could possibly come up with) Orisa's design isn't bad, but it has arbitrary elements to it, like her being a quadruped. The only reason she is one is to make her more visually distinct from Bastion. It doesn't affect her gameplay or skillset at all.
