GB stays for ages in this game – I simply call this a completely missed opportunity to create a great looking VF GB.Many players have their City hall in a corner - it is okay but not the most effective postion – pushing the City Hall a bit inwards and about 2-4 GBs can be connected behind/around the CH with a very small amount of roads. Where are the freaking "Power Cables", the "Dataflows", the inner glow of the "Virtual Intelligence" the mix up of hyper tehnologies to be shown in the last GB of the VF future.
Just one vistit at Tokyo Motorshow or a Game Feature event in Japan and this GB would never have come out this way – Unless the creative lead forced it upon the Concept Designer(s).Īnd I really do not understand how the Hi Tech Character Design vs the GB Building Design could be approved for the same theme and update. Remove the Blue Decos Animaiton and this Castle could go straight into a Japanese Settlement theme – I would not have a problem with it looking like that in Japanese historic theme, I do love Japanese Arts – But Japan is not only classical, it is also highly futuristic in more than one way and have been for a very long time now. I know Inno loves history and they are great at that, but I miss the Cypher Punk inspiration shining through – and frankly that is already part of History so what causes such lack of inspiration I can´t say – Only that this GB looks rather uninspired and way way too traditional. While future often is repeating parts of History it is never exactly the same.
What happened to classics like "Ghost in the Shell", "FInal Fantasy Series" and and immense amount of Manga and much more. Sorry to be a downer, but Inno´s Concept Designers does not watch/read/experience enough Japanese and Asian Sci-Fi content – The Himeji Castle is simply way to traditional looking for VF future – Little blue wireframe light decoration does not make much story to the theme of Virtual Reality (On a todays museum perhaps).
