The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

I find the visual style quite appealing actually.

Makes me feel like I'm reading a comic book... which I believe was the goal.

except it's going to be live action, not turn-by-turn/frame-by-frame.  i really hope those screenshots are just conceptual art and not the actual graphics.

So I understand what you mean with the comic book style.

But to me it seems like im seeing the Incredibles new movie promo.

Maybe make the graphics like this, with a little more grit and toughness to it....like the newer batman comics

and I have never ever bought a comic in my life, just my opinion. dont wanna war with anyone.

Im just hoping maybe one of the devs sees this or something since its early in development.

I don't want to war either, I respect your opinion.

I just happen to like the "comic" style of art direction they're taking this.

...it helps I don't like ultra-realistic...

I agree Caesar here in this case, being the setting and overall concept of this game.... the comic appeal really seems much more fitting.

I Fight for the Hand, I''ll die for the hand.

Yea, the art approach has me divided, I like the look but its not something i would play with all day.

Yet strangely , from what little I read on the game and the Ip it feels right.

Reminds me of the game Freedom Force which was a single player super hero RPG. Of course this game has way better graphics but it's just as colorful. Like someone else said it's like looking at a comic book.

Games I've played:
AoC, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, LoTRO, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H.

Games I Am Currently Playing:

EVE Online

It's a great look for a game based around comic book superheroes.  I can easily see fan comics being made from screen shots from in the game.  It should look and feel like a comic book come to life (the kid in all of us dreamed of this) and I think that is what they have done.  Good job so far!

I must say, as a CoX fan, and as someone who's looking forward to CO, the visual style of CO is something I find most unattractive. 

I'm of the school of thought that wants to imagine my superheroes being real, not being stuck in comic books.

All I can say is,  I hope they have an option to turn off the cel shading.
