Alas, a failed Little King's Story fanart. August is becoming one hell of a month, especially now that we're in a crucial deadline. And because of that (among other things), I give you a failart of royal proportions:



Maybe after I'm done with everything I'm doing right now I can reboot this and draw another LKS stuff. Or maybe someone from dtoid can finish this for me, I'll send over the PSD file (okay, that was me asking too much).

PS3 slim doesn't look half...good. It looks cheap and ugly and most of all, like a samsonite product (not that they're crappy, but you get the idea). Whereas the X360 and to some extent the Wii both have a unique--but necessarily iconic--look, this piece of boring here almost seems like a quick-fix attempt at appeasing the loud minority who already bought the original, 599-dollar monster (not monstrosity, 'cause I like the ps3 phat's design better). Anyhoot, it's the games that count, right? Riiight?

And the logo? I know you're channeling the uber-successful PS2, but that just looks...well, kinda okay actually. It doesn't stand out, but the softer edges remind me of Wii's super safe logo.

I just have to rant against some iPhone devs who design (or port) their games with buttons on a button-less device: STOP IT. It's bad enough to see the umpteenth version of Resident Evil 4 (who just can't die, like many of its characters), but now we have to play a button-based game on a touchscreen-only device? Putting virtual analog nubs/button is never a good idea.

1) They cover a good amount of the screen.
2) If you put your thumbs on the screen, they cover double the space. Amazing!
3) No tactile feedback. 'Cause, you know, it's fake.

Sorry guys, but some games just wouldn't work on the iPhone (I'm looking at you too, Terminator Salvation). Put them on PSPgo's minis, I don't care, but please don't use fake buttons.
