Well, the thing just ends up looking soft and untextured. Almost like it's unfinished or a cheap CGI movie from the mid-2000's, you know what I mean?
My thought is that maybe Telltale is worried they'll be remembered as just making comic-style games. Which is funny, since they're mostly based on comics. However, they clearly don't have the budget to make more realistic graphics, so they should have gone with the textured shading and the outlines.
Guardians was a comic book first, why can't they use the cel shading/comic book art style for GOTG game too?
I'd wager a guess that,… more because of how some of their mature games like Walking Dead and Batman use the comic art style, they probably didn't want younger players seeing that Guardians had the same comic art style as Batman/Walking Dead and mistakenly thinking that those other games were also friendly for a younger audience. It's a stretch, but the best guess I can come up with.
That, or maybe Marvel just wanted Telltale's Guardians game to stand out compared to the other games' art styles.
For what it's worth, I do agree with you they should've had Guardians use the comic art style too.
