Why are you fags against remastersIt delivers you better graphics, reworked camera, new ideas, cut content , modern tech support, and extra character skin for modern audience

>>736414173good morning saar

Eat shit and die
>>736414173I awoke to the pain of a new existence. The Elder God, in his infinite and pestilent wisdom, saw fit to restore mine wretched form — yet in his caprice, that bloated, many-mouthed architect of suffering neglected one crucial provision.Pants.I have been cast from the Abyss, torn asunder and reforged in spectral torment, and yet — yet — I find myself bereft of legwear. What cruel economy of resurrection is this? My brethren, those winged sycophants who dared precede me unto death, retained their garments entire. But I, Raziel, first-born lieutenant of the great Kain, am condemned to stalk these blighted halls of Nosgoth with mine ossified posterior exposed to the howling æther.A vampire whelp — scarce a century old, reeking of brimstone and poor judgement — had the audacity to gesture toward mine exposed form as I passed through the ruins of Zephon's cathedral. He spoke but two words. Base words. Words unbefitting the grandeur of this accursed age."Dat ass."It is, perhaps, the truest damnation.
>>736414173But I don't want any of that, and the remake audience would have nothing to do with the original audience or the original game so that doesn't matter either.
>>736414173Because it usually results in the original versions being removed from digital stores.
>>736415368Nice
>>736414173I'm in the middle camp, many remasters and remakes are absolutely worth it, REmake 1 and 4, D2R, System Shock etc. Others are simple cash-grabs with not much work done apart from texture upscaling using some tool/AI.Those LoK remasters seem to me more like the latter.
>>736414173wtf is that UI?
I think having blanket disdain for remasters is retarded (restoring classics for modern systems should be seen as a good thing) , but the way this industry approaches remasters and the revisionism inherent to a lot of them is a problem
>>736416617it's Defiance I think
>It delivers you better graphicsHardly ever the case.
>>736417163>(restoring classics for modern systems should be seen as a good thing)there is no argument for thisno good argument, at least
>>7364141739 times out of 10 it does none of that and delivers a worse experience. the 1/10 is so utterly rare that it's not worth the risk to play remasters.
>>736417163>>736418687porting is good but """restoring""" is basically always gonna be bad because even trusted directors apparently completely botch remakes lol. hell look at star wars as one of the shining examples.
>>736417163Porting is the only good action. Leave remaking assets to the community.Remasters are just prettier language for ports and low-effort remakes, because remasters stopped being a real thing after the shift to digital.
>>736414173Depends on the game, I kind of do want an Ocarina of time remake but having just replayed it it really doesn't need one, it's 20+ hours and it's paced extremely well, something modern games are sorely lacking.I played Soul Reaver 1/2 recently and those games legitimately sucked ass, the writing was the highlight, 1 was way better than the second but for a game that came out after Ocarina of time the combat and puzzles legitimately sucked a whole lot of ass, the remasters really didn't do the games the justice they needed for that story, and I hated how the environments in Soul Reaver 1 especially did not match the quality of the characters. I feel like Legacy of Kain Defiance is where the series finally came into it's own, but not the gameplay, just the pure style of the game, the quality of cutscenes and visual design as well as the far tighter animations like Raziel's realm shifting animation, I really did not care for the developers deciding to drop it's more Zelda like elements in favour of making it more God of War.There's a disgusting lack of Zelda like experiences and if the devs behind these games woke the fuck up they could have cashed in on this, but it's clear that they lack the talent to do this.The new spinoff being a sidescroller because that's easy shows how little the devs behind this series care about it, it should have been top down like Blood Omen.
>>736416617>ew why is the ui not a bunch of colorful tiny boxesfuck you.
>>736414173A big bugbear I have with the remasters, but especially Defiance, is that they made the games brighter for literally no reason. It's incredibly easy to tell because you can seamlessly switch from the original graphics to the remastered ones and in some areas the remasters are needlessly bright. This kills the whole vibe of the game. Better textures and models are nice but if you utterly fuck up the mood of the game by making it much brighter looking then you've failed. Not to mention some of the new models in Defiance are so laughably awful I have to wonder who the fuck even green lit them. Moebius and Ariel in particular are a huge "what the actual fuck were you retards thinking" moment.Overall the remasters are fine, and I'm thankful they're packed full of cut content that was mostly out of public reach. However I do have to say I'm disappointed in some of their decisions in terms of art direction because it should have been the one thing that was going to be a 100% slam dunk with no questions asked.
>>736414173I don't mind remasters if they stay true to the original. star ocean 2 r is a good example
