There’s a few games that use a claymation art style as their entire gimmick, and I respect those immensely, but there’s something about video games using completely different styles in their promotional art than what you find in the game itself that makes me love it. Just look at all of this: Retro game promo art Magazine promo art too
It’s surely expensive enough that 2D art, or even live-action actors, surely would have been a more sensible option.īut all these years later, and I look at the clay promo art for video games as some of the coolest stuff ever. It’s honestly pretty silly looking back that you have these simplistic 8-bit or 16-bit graphics, and the way you think you can accurately represent that in marketing is by making some clay models of the characters.
