I will never understand why people put so much energy in fake trailer... if they would put more energy in their own work it would make a lot more sense to me... but maybe it was just for practice
I wouldn't have bought arceus if the reviews haven't been so missleading... the game was pretty crappy and for some reason reviews said its a 9/10 some even said 10/10... its like the sonic cycle people like me need a long time to learn it
@johnvboy I think its good to sometimes look back there just should be no extremes. If you look too much into the past its unhealthy as well as if you never look into the past. As always in life, something inbetween is the right thing. I think this archieve is awesome to be honest
ok the demo looks already a lot better but still as someone with an art background this game has an art director problem. there are very easy things that would make this game look sooo much better... from repeating looking tiles to zero variation in the trees... also the colors in some areas are without color shifting and look bad because of that
sounds and looks a lot like the tokyo rpg factory games... they also always tell everyone they want to make golden age like rpgs but their graphics look always super low budget and their games were generic and forgetable... i think saying that this is "polished for modern era" is just a pure lie...
@BlubberWhale Maybe I formulated this wrong. I think its always better to steal and adapt/change, never just to steal. that guy could have done an awesome more unique game with his time. My point was more that a ***** storm just won't change anything than destroying this guys life for quite a while. a ***** storm is not appropriate for this. people need to relax a bit more
@PikaPhantom That might be true but there is a simple solution for it. A) If this is an issue for Nintendo they will stop it before it comes out. B) People do clearly see that this is a Zelda Copy Cat, either they punish it by not buying the game or they buy it because they want to see more in that style. ***** storming a small indie developer is always bad. Those guys usually work their ass off and then get a ***** load of mean comments... and for what ? to punish him? it makes no sens to ***** storm in that case
I think the problem is that the new style is just not very beautiful. They for sure have just a small budget and need to work with it but hmm I don't know I could imagine more visual brilliance.
anyway the game won't die for me with the art direction, I'm going to buy it
@Franklin Wonder how often this comes down to just nostalgia. I assume that the games you played in your childhood have at least a bonus even though they might look worse.
@Needham90 it makes not much sense. breath of the wild 2 might come out around march next year, i see no way they release 6 month before another zelda game. those releases are always roughly with a 1 year inbetween
Now we are at a point where people make an super ugly fanart prototypes and just say "this is not ugly its a N64/PS1 demake"... even though most of those "demakes" do not even use the restrictions of those consoles
oh no some mechas show some metal skin... hurry this will ruin our society and will make the wrong beauty ideals for our teenagers because showing stylized female bodies is bad and if you like it your a bad person...
the company is exploiting their employees i wouldn't buy anything from them... also their bosses became multi millionairs recently and did not change anything in the work culture since then
this is so ridiculous XD... there is DLC that is essentially a totally normal part of the game and now we should pay extra for it... so this is the next step after NFTs to get the money from the poor people (not to say that this handfull of old games cost 40 and people complained about the mario 3d allstars collection lol)
@RubyCarbuncle relaxe! those ports sell pretty good (mario 3d world, donkey kong etc). as long as people buy them there are going to be more ports, deal with it. no one attacked you the way that you need to leave. sometimes people have a bad day and overreact, just relax, life is good
I have this and I'm a big picross fan but this really feels so loveless... i prefer the other picross games... even the zelda one from the 3ds is better in my opinion.
@BlackenedHalo Hmm the new Character Artworks look actually better (in my opinion) but the other changes ingame I will turn off, since they mostly look worse.
As someone who diggs into pixel art a lot, I'm very very very happy that this horrible background filter can be turned off... I wish we would have the same options for all the Square Enix Remasters (and hopefully we have it for all future remasters)
i still think fire emblem heroes is excellent as well as mario run. mario run is simply the best mobile auto runner. also the price is super fair and no ***** microtransactions
i think its fine to go back. arceus was more like go, you were catching Pokemon and fighting was just an addition but that doesn't work for mainline pkm
In my world you see more naughty stuff if you watch a random netflix series .
I really don't see the age limit thing though... There are dozens of Japanese Games who do that but what I saw here seems like all sexualized girls look grown up ( I didn't watch the trailer too carefully, maybe I missed something)
its the most promising looking pokemon games since years. although its still technicaly crap looking, the level design looks already SOOO much better than Arceus (actually the whole game does look a lot better)
@SwitchVogel Pretty sure those games could run well on the switch but they don't take their time for optimization. I mean who could blame them, even some nintendo second party developers like game freak do care about this a lot... I always think that monolith soft is the best example how to do performance right on the switch.
its now the 12742 episode of this series on the switch, why does it has still performance issues? i played the first one on switch and it was barely playable with its 15 fps
@NintendoWife Ah ok so there is Octopath Traveler, Live A Live, Triangle Strategy and Dragon Quest 3... And we very likely get more... 4 Games in that style and very likely more to come. I think that is an overuse of this style... And a Tipp for you, stop pretending like its all about your sight of the things... Just because you are not interested in Strategy doesn't mean Triangle Stratey does not exist.
@NintendoWife But we want to play the old Games on our new systems. HD 2D is nice but it is now already overused and steals those games their visual identity.
@RupeeClock no its not fitting just because it fits for some games it doesn't mean every game would look good with it. people also always say they want a mother remake in links awakening style which is also not fully fitting...

Re: Square Enix Is Looking Into More HD-2D Remakes Of SNES Classics
@NintendoWife
Ah ok so there is

And we very likely get more...
4 Games in that style and very likely more to come.
I think that is an overuse of this style...
