That’s... Actually a pretty dope art style. Almost feels like a waste that it’s only being used for avatars, I would watch a Pixar flick with characters like these.

Bruno Mars would love nothing more than to be compared to Michael Jackson, so, still works.

I saw less Bruno Mars and more Michael Jackson with this skin, personally.

Honestly, it’s because this has been one of (if not arguably the single best) marketing campaign video games has seen. It was perfectly announced (and playable the day of announcement), and then followed up with very strategically timed betas and animated shorts. People got emotionally connected to the characters…

The characters are very well designed, with lots of vibrant personality. The “pixar-like” cinematics are also helping the audience to create emotional attachments to them.
