« BlazBlue: Continuum Shift: Creator Talks BlazBlue and State of Modern Fighting Games »

by AuthorFuriousRGD | DateFriday, September 10, 2010 at 9:58AM | in

The creator of Guity Gear and BlazBlue, Toshimichi MoriBlazBlue and Guilty Gear Toshimichi Mori talked about BlazBlue and the state of modern fighting games in an interview with NOWGamer. Click here for the whole interview, but here's a sample:

The artwork in BlazBlue is stunning. Why do you feel sprite-based beat-em-ups have remained popular within fan groups when today’s technology allows for a full 3D fighting experience? How much work goes into animating a full move set for one character?

I think BlazBlue’s 2D artwork really appeals to all anime fans, not just in Japan but worldwide. I think 2D art is special in that hand-drawn images have something that is very hard to achieve with 3D – it has heart. I think this trend will continue with 2D art as long as the artist put their heart and soul into it. People often think that because it’s 2D it’s more basic – this isn’t true.

Creating a new character is a very time consuming process and it takes about 5 months to complete. The basic process would be conceptual phase to characters sketches and poses, adding animating and perfecting motion then colouring and the inevitable tweaking and adjustments – when you consider a character has over 1000 individual drawings you can appreciate how much work it really takes to make a 2D fighter."

Agreed. I'm glad that even tho we have all this 3D graphics there are still some devs out there keeping 2d alive. Thanks Arc sys and SNK playmore!
