RE: New section tags - Flare - 06-01-2008

The problem with having the Legend of Zelda tags as shown is though they do tell the story through that one picture, the tag could have something more memorable, such as OoT. Games that are considered the best of the series.

Love it.

RE: New section tags - Flare - 06-01-2008

Though really badly made and using really bad versions of the shots, I will capture them myself. But this is what I meant for Zelda. Sort of an emotional picture of Link and a fighting shot of him with Ganon representing the story and gameplay.

Also ideally would have his shoulders included but I was only doing this quick without photoshop.

One of these over a LttP/LoZ/OoT screenshot would be good.

Middle one is prettiest.

RE: New section tags - Flare - 06-01-2008

I feel the middle one is cluttered, personally the last one. However the white outline would need to be fixed, but I guess you know that and I am just stating the obvious.

As though Geo were speaking my words for me.

Try and flip Link, I think the cap takes up too much. But I do like it slightly more.

RE: New section tags - Ton - 06-02-2008

Definitely flip the Link, though I'd prefer the adult version.

Section tags to do;

Mario platformers- (Chargin Chuck can't get on those platforms. That's always irked me.)
Super Princess Peach- Fire looks bad over the whole tag. Something with Perry.
Partners in Time- Shot with M&L and the baby forms.
Other Mario Games- less jpeged
Zelda- blurry
Adventure of Link- Kinda... boring as-is.
LttP- picky on my part, but the same screenshot with th animals in-place rather than running away would be perfect.
Pokemon Ranger- Just.. look at it.
Pokemon customs- Maybe Josh will make one.
Kirby's Adventure- Almost identical to the Kirby's Dreamland one.
Nightmare in Dreamland- Less health bar. Tongue
Fire Emblem- Just kinda shoddy. Any 3-D games or art we could use?
FE Gaiden- Is that all the game does?
Other Wario Games- Good game to use, bad screen. Everything is cut off.
Star Fox 2- uses SF graphics, if I remember correctly.
Mother- Very plain.
Mother 2/Earthbound- Same as above. A move vibrant area like Threed or Fourside would be good.
Ristar- looks slapped together.
Megaman X2- A stage shot would be good.
Megaman X4- same
Megaman X5- Needs one.
(RTB's note: Megaman X6 will need an icon, too.)
Megaman EXE 4.5- Something other than the title.
Zero X- same
ZX Advent- same
Capcom Fighting Games- A "vs" portrait could work.
Disney- Anything. Duck Tales would be good.
Final Fantasy- Don't care for the current section tag.
FF4- too spoiler-y
FF6- Overworld would look better. The more characters, the better.
Square Other- meh
FF Tactics- battle should would be good
FF Customs- Bad tag
DW 8/16 bit- one should be changed, as they're almost the same screenshot. (RTB's note: Yeah. I got kinda lazy with those, since I don't know the Dragon Warrior games that well. Very Sad )
KH CoM- yawn
Taito- Something other than the logo. (RTB's note: I'll find a good one. Perhaps something from Bubble Symphony?)
TMNT- Better looking game.
Shoot-em-ups- in-game shot
Hudson- not just the logo
Namco- I like the idea, but 1x would be better.
Nippon Ichi- something other than the title

I suppose its better than the Galaxy shot, but I think its too dark.

?

Also, I fixed the bridge. Though I think the MG art is fine, but...

RE: New section tags - Ngamer01 - 06-02-2008

Well now we're getting somewhere, but I think some of the recent WIP icons are cluttered.

Instead of picking a shot that represents a series/franchise as a whole and overlaying the main character on-top of it (or use opacity to blend it into the background shot) -- which just clutters the icon, just use shots that represent a series/franchise as a whole.

For example, take the Donkey Kong Country series. You may want an icon of DK and Diddy fighting K. Rool. Since the main point of the DKC series is to stop K.Rool and his Kremling forces.
