Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Among Us Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

Among Us Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

A true redesign of Among Us risks alienating longtime players, but if pulled off correctly, it could win the hearts of both newcomers and veterans.

Among Us Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

One of the most popular elements of Among Us is its visual style - while simple and rough around the edges, it's also immediately recognizable and charming. Its iconic Crewmates have been widely imitated, parodied, and inserted into fan art. As a part of a future update, however, developer InnerSloth is working on revamped artwork, which may carry both positive and negative aspects for fans.

InnerSloth was a small studio when it launched Among Us in 2018, which is part of why the game looks the way it does. Minimalist 2D art is easier to produce while still being endearing, if done with flair. The company didn't have a large budget, so while it succeeded on the flair part, there are literal rough edges in some of the characters and objects, and animation can sometimes be stiff. It's not fully clear what the revamp will entail, although InnerSloth has promised "cleaner lines" along with an "easier animation process" that should streamline things on the backend.

The obvious positive to this change, announced in a recent InnerSloth blog post, is a more refined look. However popular the game might be, it doesn't necessarily look like a global blockbuster. Even regular players might be a bit put off by its graphics if they compare it to other multiplayer options like Apex Legends or Fortnite. Better graphics do mean better appeal if they're executed correctly.

What Downsides Could There Be To Changing Among Us' Art?

Conversely, some players might not want a blockbuster aesthetic. Part of the game's charm is that it is unpolished - it found more success after Twitch and YouTube streamers started playing it years after its debut. An art style revamp might improve it, but this also makes it one step removed from the pleasant indie surprise people came to love. Some players might prefer that InnerSloth focus on adding more maps and tasks, though of course that in itself is changing the nature of the game.

Ultimately, the reaction of the fanbase will depend on just how dramatically the art changes. If InnerSloth only cleans up the existing art, the effect may be underwhelming - yet satisfying to the nostalgia crowd. A true redesign does risk alienating those longtime players, but if pulled off properly, it could win both their hearts and the ones of gamers who previously didn't like the art style of Among Us, making the new update worth the wait.

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence Among Us is pretty brutal for such a simple-looking game with cute, rounded characters. Here's each kill animation ranked from least to most violent. Despite the rather cute and simple look of Among Us, the online science fiction game has some pretty horrific kill animations that are often shown when an Impostor is left alone with an unsuspecting Crewmate. This list will go over each one, ranking them from least to most violent. Killing is a natural part of Among Us as the premise states a parasitic shapeshifter Impostor has taken the place of one of the Crewmates in an otherwise productive crew of MIRA scientists, explorers, and researchers. Crewmates try figure out who the Impostor is while trying to stay alive, but fans know that death is an inevitable part of the game. In fact, the absence of one makes it near impossible to find out who the real Impostors are. Currently, there are only four different kill animations, but...

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started One interesting Among Us fan theory offers an explanation on the origins of the Impostors and provides a timeline for when and where they appear. The online social deduction multiplayer title Among Us is a relatively simple game, but it's recent success has already brought about some interesting and complex fan theories to give more backstory to the space-themed setting. One theory gives a plausible explanation for how the Impostors came to be, incorporating each of the maps for more evidence. There are currently three maps in Among Us: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and the latest addition, Polus. The developers are in the process of adding a new map, so this theory will only pertain to the ones already available. The Skeld is the primary map that takes place on a cargo spaceship which travels to the other locations. MIRA HQ is a tall building set high in a planet's atmosphere and is the location the Crewmates travel back to a...
