cel-shading graphics were once amazingly unique, and made a game stand out from the crowd. these days though, cel-shading is seen more and more frequently. so, i decided to start a thread about it! what does everyone think the best cel-shaders are? i have a few favourites, so i'l put them in a poll... of course, there are many more games with cel-shading graphics (just look at the list of cel-shaded games on Wikepedia), so please mention others that you think would be cool (i'l also add an "others" choice on the poll)

so here are my top 3 candidates:

Valkyria Chronicles
Street Fighter 4
Prince of Persia

note that they don't have to be from 2008, (hence my Street Fighter 4 choice).

no flaming or rudeness in general please.

Street FIGHTER FOUR is not Cell Shaded. It's Hand Drawn.


Get your facts straight bro. Also, why isn't Wind Waker, Dragon Quest,Afro Samurai, or Eternal Sonata on their?

Yeah, I know, I liked WW's graphics alot, but out of all the games, on or off the list, Prince of Persia is my favorite.

erm. how are you meant to hand draw a game? also those games you mentioned aren't on the list cause i put my own favourites in the poll, and left the rest to "other" cause theres waaaay too many cel-shaded games out there to put in the list. i did say to mention others that are good...

Props for an original topic, but I have to agree that this list is definitively lacking.

My vote would probably go to Dark Cloud 2 [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/863.html] or Wind Waker [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/1893.html]. Prince of Persia - is that even cell-shaded - comes off as a bit clique because of all the Final Fantasy-esque swordplay.

Well, seeing as how I normally hate cel-shading, PoP gets my vote.

Prince of Persia, easially. Probley the most beautiful game I have ever played. Doesn't make it that great however. No where near as good as any of the original trilogy, including Warrior Within.

Please just shut up now....
EDIT:Wow, sensitive members these days. Maybe I should have put the dots before the please. Mind you I did say please. Fine. Please use google to answer your simple question. Then you don't have to shut up.

No, please, honor us peasants with your almighty game knowledge!


Yes, that was sarcasm. There's no reason to be rude when asked a question, mmkay?

I think Afro did a really nice take in cell shading (more like cross-hatching than block colours) I also really like the way that the cinematics in the PSP remake of FF Tactics were done.

Prince of Persia had really nice graphics, but I wouldn't exactly call them cell-shaded. They're more like... illustrational than cell-shaded.

Yeah, I hate that, like while I'm playing an MMO and I ask an experienced player how to do something, they'll just call me a retarded noob, how will I ever learn how to do it if nobody will tell me, and they didn't start the game knowing everything.

.........They hand draw games with a hand. The same way they've hand drawn games the past 10 years. And that's like half the reason i was angry. [http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/search.pl?query=hand+drawn+games]

No please, crawl into a hole and die, in knowledge that your fuck bag who can't be bothered to answer a simple question.
Key word.

Bothered? Yes. Fuckbag? I've heard worse. But to insult my hole? Low man. Although I take pleasure in seeing that you've sunk lower than I by trying to start something over the internet. You win the "Entertainment" Award. Wear it with pride. I don't.

Wow, that didn't make you sound like a prick at all. By the way, people CAN tell what URL you used. Idiot. And I agree with the poster above me. Crawl in a hole and die. :)
