Wow, this is looking really, really good. I got very excited seeing these screens.

OMG those shaders! I'm liking background 3. As for the character art, it's a toss up. gah....

[TatteredSeraph]

I'm really digging the soft lighting for background 3, but it's close.  For the shaders though, I lve both for different reasons!  I love the more natural look of shader 1, but the art just pops in shader 3, especially on the full figure shot of Miriam running.  This game is looking absolutely stunning.  Go, Iga!

Shader 3 all the way WOW this game looks even better than I think 2017 where are you... anyway shader 3 I hope it will be that shader in the game.

FINALLY this game is starting to look great! That background is gorgeous (unlike the previous background they showed, which was clearly just a test or something).

The cellshading makes Miriam look like a Fire Emblem character. Absolutely nothing wrong with that though. I vote shader 3 all the way.

Shader 3 looks great. I can't recall, but isn't this game built in Unreal 4?

[Castle34hk]

Yes right this game based on Unreal Engine 4 look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodstained:_Ritual_of_the_Night

Personally I prefer shader 3 with background 1.  I like the cel-shaded look of shader 3 and the lighting of background 1.

Lol....NeoGAF.....just can't get away from their fixation on tits. =P

[KaZudra]

both 1 and 3 look very nice for different reasons.
1 looks nice and gives a PS2-ish vibe to the lighting, for those who want a more "3D" look.
3 is quite a spectacle, I see some notes were really taken from GGXrd, at first glance it could easily be mistaken for hand drawn.

I really want to see these in motion, Stills are nice, but it's the fidelity to animation is what I really want to see.

I say 1 and I'm now on board with larger tits.

[Sindra]

Oh don't get me wrong....I don't argue against larger tits. I just really didn't notice at all that they'd been increased in size at all....which clearly didn't escape some of the more "fixated" of the NeoGAF ilk. =P (which is funny, considering it's NeoGAF)

I really don't get the hate on cel-shaded look, either. They act like it's akin to Dawn of Sorrow of Portrait of Ruin, when it's really not nearly that simplified.

In all fairness, the original art for Miriam (not sure if this has been updated) had a much smaller bust and larger hips, which made her look more tomboyish. Much as I don't like that look in real life, it sorta suited her character imo. But after seeing the new character model in 3d, it looks proportionate to her body, so I'm on board.

I don't hate it, in actual fact I quite like it, I just think 1 is a nicer and "cleaner" look. Visually the game would look more distinctive with 3.

The first thing 1 and 3 actually brought to my mind was Smash bros Wii U and 3DS, due to the black outline of 3. I'm not so fond of the black outline (which in Smash 3DS can be turned off). I looks decent and I'm not having a go, I certainly couldn't do any better. I just prefer the look of 1, but I'd still be pleased with 3.

I'm a senran kagura, DOA, and onechanbara fan. So you know how I feel!

Lol

I did notice as well...

[Castle34hk]

To be honest folks I cant wait for the next update this game will be my dream-best-game ever. Anyway the new shaders are too good to me I really looking forward to this new update gonna be amazing.

IGA work hard and his team I will get this game on PS4 I think. Hype for the next update of course.
