Everything about Jump Force's presentation is hilarious, not just the plastic art style (spoilers)

Holy shit that looks awful. Kaguya's dress looks so awkward.
The shittiest of cel shading style would look better than this.
Wait, the Ryuk stuff was intentional? I thought it was a glitch lol, that's fucking bad and yeah animations are terrible. Good thing I hardly cared about this game. I was pondering getting it because anime, but nah now I'm sure I'm good.
I think this looks like amazing Japanese jank! We need a new term for this to go along with the Eurojank term.
Honestly, I like the plastic look. It's as if vinyl figures have come to life. But then everything moves and...yeah.
The motion blur is out of control. I can't tell what's going on half the time, which is why it's been turned up so high.
Cheeeeeeesefest!
I'm in!

I knew the game looked pretty ugly but I didn't expect it to be so janky as well. What a shame that such a promising concept gets such terrible execution.
Lmao, totally Poochie
i do really question this game some times
Wow, this is not at all what I expected the final product to look like. After the fantastic DBFighterZ, I'm kind of surprised they went to such a wonky looking 3D design that doesn't look half as competent as Power Stone from two decades ago. I'm talking aesthetics AND gameplay; it all seems... bad.
Even great production values wouldn't have saved that terribad art direction. But to be supreme jank as well sure is something...
That goes to show how much people really love these characters. Rarely does Bamco make games featuring anyone outside of DBZ and Naruto. One Piece has some games but they're few and far between.
Anijank? Nipponjank? Weeajank? Kusogejank? J-Jank?
But yeah, this might be the Arena Fighter equivalent of EDF or Onechanbara or something. Just with more motion sickness :p
Japan + Jank = Japank? J-Jank? J-Ank?
You know, I like that as an idea. They're not the actual characters, but action figures of those character.
The entire game is framed as a kid playing with his toys and everything happening from story, to backgrounds to flashy effects is all in the kid's imagination. It's ok if the characters look plasticy because they are action figures. It's okay if the animation is janky and stiff because they are action figures. You could even do it on purpose. You can have all kinds of weird and nonsense matchups without having to explain much, because that's what kids do. They make up stuff on the spot.
That one dude with the long hair's super almost made me puke with those jump cuts
I haven't seen a lot of criticism of the visuals outside of forums.
I actually like the art style a whole lot, but this looks like it plays worse than J-Stars, and J-Stars was straight trash. Ah well.
Keep letting Spike Chunsoft develop action/fighting games, brehs. Budokai Tenkaichi was shit to begin with yet they still keep getting called up to make arena fighters. Why not let Byking (people who have actual experience in the genre) make these Jump crossover games and don't waste them on shit like One's Justice.
It pains me that this is so heavily marketed and aimed at western audiences who have no idea what the J-Stars games are because this game looks like a huge step back from what they've built up in the past
Gaara looks cool, they didn't screw that up at least. Some of the characters and effects look cool.
Came to this thread for this
Some of those not only have incomprehensible camera angles but it cuts faster than a hip youtuber
And this mixed with the "particles everywhere" it makes christmas lights vomit looks like nothing
Dear god this is BEAUTIFUL
Goku's feet movement at 29seconds is just ....
Like this is not a Source Filmmaker fan project, this is a VERY bad source filmmaker fan project
Funny, i've only heard and seen bad reception so far(Especially from people that have put more than 500hrs in games like Jojo ASB, Jump Ultimate Stars, etc...).
But feel free to link us the stuff you're talking about, maybe i'm missing something
None of these look bad at all though. People in this thread are trying way too hard to dump on this game because they personally don't like the art.
It plays way better than the last game like it. If the problem is people wanted a 2d fighting game, you aren't getting a 2d fighting game in 2019 that isn't dbz.
I have to admit, I was pretty surprised to see the vitriolic response this game is getting on this forum. I have no real experience with these anime properties outside of enjoying some of the video games (such as DB FighterZ). I must say that to me this game looks really nice, I like the art style personally, and the concept is really cool. The game play looks like it could be a lot of fun.
What is it that is causing such an uproar over here? Is this something that really invested fans of the various anime series have a problem with that folks on the outside of that wont necessarily see as an issue? I know its beta had some trouble, but other than that the criticisms I'm seeing just aren't lining up 1:1 with what I see - but maybe that is just me?
I do agree that the motion blur is excessive and there are some funny animations (or lack thereof) but that is not unique to this game. There are plenty of games I have played and enjoyed that have suffered those issues as well without such a strong community reaction.
For clarity's sake: I am not calling anyone out here, nor am I suggesting anyone is incorrect with their negative feelings. I am simply perplexed by how strongly it seems to be felt here and was wondering why. I kinda thought this game would be popular here to be honest. I'm actually tempted to pick this up as it looks like it could be fun.

It looks like one of those fan-made UE4 "remakes", but worse. There's almost no respect for visual coherence and readability.
Did you watch the videos in the OP? Genuine question, because what's on display is almost unbelievable to me, personally.
Sorry that me and my friends don't have shit taste?
We should just admit that Jump crossover games peaked at Jump Super/Ultimate Stars

Are you seeing the cutscenes and character models being posted in here? They're atrocious. I have no dog in this fight. But I remember the E3 teaser looking pretty good. This is now, without a doubt, one of the worst looking AA current-gen games I have seen. It's so ugly. And not just because of the art style.
Anecdotal, but most of the reactions I've seen on twitter from people who aren't middle school kids have been negative. Even ignoring complaints about the art-style, people aren't happy about how the actual game plays or even its roster which goes out of its way to offer less variety compared to J-Stars despite having more characters.
Which doesn't mean anything because J-Stars wasn't a 1v1 game in the first place. You're literally looking at 2 different gameplay styles here. Again, anecdotal, but I've seen people say that My Hero Academia One's Justice had more meat to its gameplay and wasn't so mash-happy
Yeah I did. I honestly didn't see a lot to complain about personally - it certainly isn't a big budget game, and there were issues as noted, but to me I didn't think it was such a big deal - maybe just a case of different tolerances to this kinda thing in the context of one's level of investment in these franchises?
My little brother loves all of this and I can't be that dickhead who ruins that for him lol.
I want to roast the game but I'll let him have this one.
I think I'll have fun with this game anyway. Presentation aside.

Welp. Had a feeling this game was going to be a turd. Too bad I already preordered it digitally. :(
