3rd Strike Online’s Graphics Filters Applied on Per Character Basis

Seth Killian spoke to SiliconEra about 3rd Strike Online recently. In an excerpt from the interview, Seth mentions that the graphics filters used in 3sO are applied on a per-character basis.

“There are three filters, including an unfiltered version and we can’t take any credit for that. Even when the other two filters are applied they are applied on a per character basis. The way the original characters were drawn they were shaded differently. The use of negative space and shadows varies across characters. Even if you apply a filter that looks good overall to some of the characters, it doesn’t necessarily look good to all of the characters.”

    Yesssssssssss!

  • mega_buster

    all I want is sf3o

  • Zenme

    Just put this out so I can give you my money.

  • Gelohk

    I’m really looking forward to playing this on console for first time, I missed the anniversary collection edition.

  • Sleazoid

    a nice example of this are yun’s armbands

    they are completely solid one color in his regular stance

  • DTJB

    Yeah yeah yeah, none of this tells me when I can start playing it.

    • Kendrik

      Obvious answer is “not soon enough.”

  • EVIL5150

    after all this development time I had hoped for more.

    • Super Justin

      there is going to be LOADS of content you must have not seen the E3 preview.

  • EAA575

    There was an interview during E3 by the producer that already mentions this.

  • Zeldias

    Maybe when I get the game it’ll be different, but as it stands, I just can’t tell the difference with the filters. I just might not be able to see it from the vids. Still, cool stuff.

  • Ianskie

    can’t wait, sf4 is too boring…

    • gen

      stopped playing SF4 completely, only practicing 3rd strike from now. THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!!!

  • Wasted

    OLD. We were already told this in the E3 demo.

  • NickGuy0320

    ggpo is good enough for me. not like im going to be playing with filters on anyway.

    the real test for this game is how well he ggpo as utilizied on the game compares to ggpo on ggpo. i just played some matches of 3rd strike on FBA and it gives me really high hopes for this port

  • CannonSpike

    Honestly just bring the game out!!! I already have the points in my account ready for when that beast of a game shows up! Also, I’ve pretty much already decided I’ll be getting all the dlc, but what could it be? In a game that old surely it’s gotta be something new they’ve cooked up for us?

    GO CAPCOM!!!

  • Shadowfire

    They all still look like vaseline filters to me. There are lots of graphical effects they could have applied that would have improved the sprites, but this is not one of them.

    • Unable to Connect

      Yeah, that’s the blur one. I think they have one called crisp (or something like that) which looks a lot better. Original probably looks decent too.

  • Jamheald

    Oh who cares about this, it has save states and ggpo?

  • ahdonye

    Maybe if enough of us buy this, promote the heck out of this, generate enough buzz, we could see either a 4th version of SF3 w/ more characters, or when the next wave of platforms come out we could see SF5 be a blend of 3&4 with parrys and fdac’s in the same game :)

    • triplexraider

      I think a 4th version could be too much. After all, it hasn’t been updated in 12 years. Plus, the 4th version might have to be made differently in terms of graphics.

  • SF4iA

    am I the only 1 that thinks this should come out in disc form?

  • Sadistic Masochist

    i think my friends cab has problems with the controls. when i press jump and an attack button at the same time the character doesnt attack. this happens both in ST and in TS.

    and no, a game that could fit on a cd should not be put on a bd or hddvd. thats just stupid.

  • Dan CiTi

    Oh my god just COME OUT NOW!!

  • Lazir

    It would be cool if we could just play the game I think

  • Timstuff

    Filters on pixel graphics 9/10 times look hideous. I will be playing this game the way it is supposed to be played, with pixel graphics. If you are going to dump on pixel art you may as well rub Vaseline on the Mona Lisa because it has brush strokes.
