FACT: Games are NOT art and remake / remaster culture proves it.

A movie or painting being remade or reimagined is treated as an insult to the original; but you apply that to games and no one gives a shit

>>733664710
games arent art
That doesnt mean they are bad or not important or anythign they just arent art
They are designet to be experinced by a person in their own unique way unlike art like movies or painting wher the artist decied what the viewer will experince and see
Art isnt the same as quality and due to their interactive nature games cant be art
>>

>due to their interactive nature games cant be art
why so
>>
>>733665639
Art isn't interactive.
When a guy taped a banana to a wall that was art.
When a guy ate the banana taped to a wall that wasn't art.
Art is super duper serious and definitely not a concept that's been eroded for decades, if it ever meant anything at all.

Can't speak too much on the Wild Guns one but the Ninja Warriors one is easier than the original. Still a good game but a downgrade nonetheless. Shadow of the Ninja is extremely good though.

More devs should take more middling/decent 8-bit games and turn them into incredible 16-bit games like Shadow of the Ninja and picrel.

majority of game remakes are down grades though and sidegrades at best

and they are alwaays shit compared to the original. the only exception is REmake and you know why? because the creator and director of the original was also involved
>>
>>733664964
games ARE art, the people who misconstrue that as “games need to be movies” completely misunderstand the point, which is that games should embrace the aspects unique to the medium
and your comment about remakes being considered bad in film isn’t really true either, seeing as scarface is widely viewed as a good movie

If video games can't be art, then why do they have actual, literal art in them? Artists still make art and it's shown in many games. It's it insulting to those artists to say it isn't art? What makes Dragon Ball art and Chrono Trigger not art?

That's you romanticizing bad coding. Like no one is going to say the original broken-out-of-the-box version of Final Fantasy is better than any of the remakes

This is /v/, you could find someone. A while ago I had someone tell me that Doom 3, with its reloading and flashlight and stamina bar and DLC gravity gun, wasn't following trends.
>>
>>733666716
REmake is awful though. It has none of the fun and soul of the original.

I will, especially since many people are retards that misconstrue a lot of features as bugs.
>>
>>733667765
I prefer the NES original Final Fantasy to any of the remakes that replace the Vancian magic system with MP and nerf the hell out of the Black Mage to balance it
>>

>Hot gameplay trends of the year
Not necessarily. Remakes can include cut content that was removed simply because they didn't have enough time to implement it.
>>
>>733664964
Not at all. The romance made plenty of wonderful remakes of Greek artwork and in some cases they're seen as superior.

Chrono doesn't run around in circles for ten hours.
I, the player, do, because I, the player, could be retarded.
Now we arrive at the disconnect of
>um, the story and the gameplay are two different things, actually
Chrono's art isn't depicting him, it's depicting an idea that the player embodies when they input their name at the start.
>>
>>733669673
This argument is the equivalent of saying movies aren't art because you can choose to play it backwards without sound.
You're a fucking idiot.

Toriyama drawing Goku is different than Toriyama drawing any Dragon Quest heroes or Chrono.
Toriyama can draw Goku with full intent and character knowledge and Toriyama draws those other people with the intent for other people to "be" or "play" as them, without character knowledge.
They can't be the same because they're fundamentally two different things.

Nah, it has to be on a case by case basis. A lot of remakes fail to capture the essence of the original.

The pixel remaster of FF1 allows you to see a map, and allows you to turn off encounters, both of these are viewed by the goyim as quality of life features when both of them were a large part of the gameplay experience, the bosses in FF1 werent hard or complicated, their power was budgeted into the enemies you fight on the way to them, the original creators created enemies that work together to make encounters interesting, giving the player a dungeon experience more about surviving and rationing your consumables rather than one where you run through the dungeon blindly, beat the easy boss, then complain the game sucks

>>
>>733672978
You know they have to film or animate mcdonald's commercials right? You know music included in mcdonald's commercials is still music right? Do you see how fucking stupid what you are saying it?
>>
>>733667765
You're right even though a bunch of contrarians refuse to admit it. FF1 has remakes done right and wrong because it's been done so many times.
The Wonderswan/PS1 version is an objective upgrade over the original.
The GBA and PSP versions less so because they fuck with the magic system.
PR is also better than the original but it also has the (optional) cheats and map so elite gamers will tell you it ruins the whole game.
>>
>>733664710
The problem with this guy's arguments are that he thinks true limitation (not self imposed) are objectively bad, without any consideration for how it shapes the overall game.
he's right that most developers probably loathe the limitations of whichever system they're working on , but how the limits are dealt with reflect and shape how the rest of the game in almost every aspect.
most of RE1 in how it was both designed and played were direct consequences of the PS1's limitations. If RE1 was made today, with our advanced tech following shinji mikami's original intentions, I heavily doubt it'd be even a fraction as impactful and memorable as the version we got

It was supposed to be an fps game originally. It would have pretty much been a lesser Gun Survivor.

>A movie or painting being remade or reimagined is treated as an insult to the original
You know nothing about art. There are tons paintings that people make their own version of out of respect because it's understood that it doesn't replace the original. The problem with games is that the general audience treats them as products to be consumed as if they're simply interchangeable.
>>
>>733674887
The general audience for movies does the exact same thing.
The trouble with games is more the hardware than the sentiment. A lot of old games aren't even playable without jumping through hoops.
>>
>>733669673
Running around in circles for ten hours is performative art

When do console limitations stop being charming?
I would rather play most 360/PS3 era games on PC with stable frame rates and higher resolutions. It feels like that's how it was meant to be played, on consoles it feels like they're struggling to run the game.
But people act like frame drops in a PS1 game is an essential part of the experience.

it's a video game, anon. it's not that serious.

>BUH BUH BUH BUH
no. it's not that serious. If you don't like it, don't play it. If you want to see other types of games, new ideas, learn to code and make your own. It's a fucking video game man. A game.
>>
>>733665516
Games aren't art in the modern sense, which is "throw splatters of paint on a canvas for 1 hour then get a fat rich slob to buy it for thousands of dollars".
>>
>>733679778
they also arent art in the traditional sense, they are closer to an afternoon at a theme park or a childrens toy than they are to anything resembling art
>>
>>733679665
Saying something is just itself will never not be retarded. It's a thought terminating cliche that doesn't further discussion and is inherently disingenuous because if you didn't care you wouldn't bother posting yet you belittle the medium to seem like you're somehow better than the people who care.
>>
>>733680406
it's completely optional and no one is forcing your to subject yourself to it. you do it willingly, and then cry about how much you don't like it, and ask why things won't change after you willingly engaged with it, which is what they were after to begin with.

you are literally retarded. everything you do about it is retarded, and counter productive to the point you're trying to make. you are a contradiction. you are stupid. do you understand?

>BUH BUH BUH BUH
no. do you understand?
>>
>>733680812
1/10 followup bait still responded
>>
>>733681118
that's because you're fucking stupid and you do things that contradict your desired outcome. that or you secretly love being upset all the time because it gives you purpose. probably a mix of both.

5th gen was too ambitious for the time.
6th gen was just higher-poly and finally smooth frame rates.
7th gen was also too ambitious because everything had to push "HD" instead of frame rates
