EVO 2020 - Still hatin', still watchin'

[Lokus]

Not sure how monetization works with Riot's other games but I assume it's just gonna be a bunch of skins with character purchases on top. So... basically like every other fighting game without the initial need to purchase the game.

Still don't like that it is 2v2, but meh

[Nitsuki]

The animation at 60fps in those short parts of the video look absolutely amazing. I’m all for this, not a fan of 2v2 myself but i’m still all for it.

Oh snap! Didn’t know characters from Arcane were in this lol.

[Krandor]

You... do know that Arcane is LOL right?

[Weltall]

If you have not watched that show, whether you like anime/cartoons or League...you should watch it. Best TV show of 2021 without anything close to it. One of the best of all-time. I'd suggest listening to this review:

I don't give a single shit about League of Legends but Arcane was absolutely amazing. The animation in that show is so far above every other show it's ridiculous

[Weltall]

Not even just the animation, the writing, character development, plot adjustments, use of music..literally everything is a 10/10.

Ekko vs Jinx tells more of a story in 3 minutes than most of its contemporaries can dream of in an entire season. And just as others in this thread, I don't give a shit or know anything about League of Legends either.

I kinda forgot Arcane = League of Legends = Project L = Riot and never really linked the characters with their origin franchise.

It went 9 for 9 for this year's Annie Awards sweeping the Best General Audience Animated Television/Broadcast Production categories. Likely to win the Primetime Emmy come September

[Lucavi]

It absolutely deserved to, as well. Can't wait for more.

I'm hoping the work that team did winds up revolutionizing the field. I watch Arcane, and then I look at that Trigun remake's "animation" and just...

[Weltall]

I imagine Trigun’s budget is like 1/10,000th of Arcanes lol.

Animation budget alone was in the ballpark of $70M+. So it's in the ballpark of Disney/Pixar animated feature film budget for total development. Have to wonder how much Netflix shoveled Riot for the broadcast rights.

[Lucavi]

If you can't afford to at least make your product look half-decent, stick to manga pages. Its a kill-or-be-killed world out there, and that Trigun shit is the laughingstock of the internet right now.

[Krandor]

Nah I think the internet is quickly moving on to laughing at the developing shit show in Formula 1

[Lucavi]

God, Reddit has 3,000 posts a day about Formula 1 right now.

[Krandor]

The drama unfolding today is INCREDIBLE so yeah

Despite the recent Twitter drama over this, NA vs EU salty suite is being setup during Evo. However, shit seems like might be torpedoed right away cause of Idom's sponser...

[Weltall]

Does the NA team have Punk? If not, don't see a point.
