The Next Generation of Cel Shading

[Joker T]

I was thinking about this today.

What will the next-gen systems do for Cel Shading?

How will it be improved on?

While I don't know much about the technology behind what makes graphics better on a PS3 than on a PS2 (for example) I do know what looks pleasing to my eye.

There is always room for improvement. Zelda WW, and Dragon Quest VIII come to mind. Both are beautiful games, but there are things that could obviously look better with stronger hardware powering them. Fixing jagged edges is a start. Regardless, I love the cel-shaded art style and look forward to the next generations take on it.

Other than fixing jagged edges, I'm not sure what could make cel shading wow people into the next generation or two, since cel shading is based on such a minimalist, non-detailed style. I was actually thinking about this a couple months ago. Good question....
