Graphical Style exaggerated

Game Research: Evaluation #1• This game has used Exaggerated as

graphical style, because its out of space game, its already out of the ordinary for us so they have to go and exaggerate the characters and the place, the guns clothing everything does look real but it goes well with the genre of the game. The genre of the game is action adventure and that’s what this game is trying to do, is very adventures and its to good to be true.

• They used this art style because many people play these kind of games that’s over exaggerated to escape the reality of life and like this other life of big aliens laser gun and exaggerated games

Graphical Style Exaggerated/ photorealistic

Game Research: Evaluation #2

• The graphical style of this game is Exaggerated/ photorealistic they exaggerated it but not to much because the characters still look human and real but they mostly exaggerate the environment to make it more fun for the players and the weapons they use are usually exaggerated, this game shares the same genre to my science fiction and also same elements I would expect to find in my game such as, futuristic weapons and environment.

Game Research: Collage #2

If you watch closely to this picture the back you can see the world which links to the photorealistic but then the box before that has laser lighting coming out which links to the exaggerated

This helps me with my game to see how they dress, and use graphical style photorealistic

This shows how they exaggerated they characters.

Researching this game has helped me understand how to use photorealistic while using exaggerated at the same time.

This picture shows how the characters are bit exaggerated.

Game Research: Review #3

The genre of this game and graphical style works well together, its photorealistic and that’s what they keep in mind so they make sure that the characters still remain real and don’t look over exaggerated then, and its also science fiction so it’s similar to my game.
