Gerard be Nice to Killerinsidee, I love his avatar very much

[Dragondraco]

His avatar makes me sad because it reminds me of a great game I'll likely never get to finish in English.=/

It can't be helped.

 

Anyways, here's an interesting tweet from MG -

It's funny how they didn't mention this before. I wonder...

Some new sprites from the steam version of Higurashi:

[spoiler=Higurashi arc1]Yup, I like these two. These new creepy sprites could definitely be better than their PS2 equivalents.

I mean... that smiling Rena face is a pretty big change from her normal face (which is a good thing).

But, still need to see what it's all like ingame together with music, sound, text, etc.

Liking it so far, but...

 

 

The lack of menacing fisheyes definately is a step backwards; but time will tell.

[spoiler=Higurashi]Well it's a different style, so that's what you get. The eyes in the first season of the anime don't look the same either - they're more cat-like. Kizuna is also pretty different from the Matsuri (PS2) eyes... those Kizuna ones might just be the best, at least as far as being unsettling goes.

 

But this is potentially a different kind of creepy. These have more colour in them... or shadow... whatever. A bit more on the crazy/manic side maybe (the more visibile smile and the lines under her eyes adds to that effect) Whether that's actually a good thing or not in the end, we'll see in the game when it's released, 'cause that's the only time one can be sure. The PS2 eyes are very menacing though, yes. And that's appropriate of course.

 

I put this together for easier comparison:

Different body stances, but otherwise it should be the same sprite variation. Well personally I like both styles, just from this. But each to their own on that regardless.
