old soul new soulless is the only infallible constant in games
>>738935982The old icon sucked. Especially in context. Clearly the 3 spirit items are conveying the idea of growth of power in your hand. The first one holding a spirit pinch, the second a small flame in your hand, and now the third with an endless amount. Left shows you being overwhelmed by it, right shows you in control which is the correct idea on display.
>>738936359>shitshe's right
>>738935982It's funny how all of these are usually just pictures of soulless slop.
>>738936709Less really is more.
>>738936359>>738936410>>738936709These are just straight upgrades. >>738936297This is also an upgrade in terms of QOL but I like going to 2 stores more for the rp
>>738936472How disingenuous. Plenty of modern anime games have beautiful layouts and set pieces. You didn't even compare the same franchises and literally put mobile games on the right.
>>738936709Spyro is sexier on the right thoughbeit
>>738935982
>>738936297posting pokemon is just cheating
>>738935982>>738936178
>>738935982You just don't like it because it's different than before. If the right one was the old one and the left one was the new one, you'd think the exact same way about the new circumstances
>>738936116Israel won bigly when they replaced legacy edition with bedrock edition. Very sad.
>>738939449
>>738939485ah would you ever shut the fuck up
>>738939867You cannot refute my point though. Changing something isn't good, but neither is it bad. It's simply different than before and humans tend to not enjoy radical differences
>>738940016I think most people like the revision more than the new one in the OP though

>>738938617Jesus Christ
>>738942237The plate is there, it's just higher up.But most of the scenes definitely don't sell it, since they're just heaps of outsourced assets and automated lighting. The best shot of Midgar is a pre-rendered background you see after the intro
>>738939695I hate the remake even more now.
>>738939867Not him, but it's objectively better. Old good new bad retards need to fuck off forever and go be miserable alone.
>>738936297This is actually fantastic worldbuilding because it tells you that Paldea is a nation where 1) people travel on a vehicle-like Pokemon more and 2) plays into the open world nature of the game.Note how we already know that the new region does not use the same design but still uses open air Pokemon centres that look different to retain the ease of access while still being true to the new region.
>>738937092Yeah but we shouldn't have to choose between a breedable dragon ass and environmental artistic cohesion
>>738936297I know it's more convenient, but it just doesn't look and feel right.
>>738939449>>738939695
: D
>>738942237>Fully fledged fucking brick CATHEDRAL, barely damagedTo be fair that makes more sense with how the interior is designed. It needs to be huge and mostly intact for any of the gameplay stuff to work in a more realistic setting. If you popped out of the top of it and it looked like a plastic toy minichurch it'd just be jarring.>Random rooves on the left next to it. Why? Idk. Maybe people lived there for some reason but there are no entrances or rooms or anything. Just rooves to form a path wayYeah the design of the area doesn't feel very livable, though Aerith says no one lives there "anymore" so maybe it used to be more livable at some point. Not sure why people would move out when there's a magic church with flowers right there, though.>Destroyed parts of a multi-floor building on the right, implying there were entire modern cities down there before the plateYeah, that's part of the newer lore. They actually tried to build a proper "lower city" and "upper city", but the lower city got overrun by gangs and shit and it was easier for Shinra to maintain the upper city while letting people like Corneo have the run of the lower city.>Cosmo Canyon mountainous area in the background even though Midgar was built on flatland/grassland that is drained of grass/lifeDoesn't really bother me. Midgar's surroundings and the undercity's geography being more desert-y has been a thing since Advent Children.>Missing plate, just sky in the background>"It's scary without the plate over your head" says Aerith after leaving Midgar looking back, noticing there is in fact no plate in the first placeIt's higher up.>It's dayIndeed.>Haze and/or fog>Flat gray/brown lightingYeah not the biggest fan of this. Remake series overdoes it and I wish some parts looked less washed-out, but I can tolerate it.
>>738944975>fart noises play
>>738935982I go full Spirit on Haze.I am not bound by the laws of society.
>>738945727Im playing Spirit Venator.
>>738947685Mamma mia we can't even code pizza anymore
>>738948105You have to understand, they would need to double the strain on the CPU because they have to render the pizza twice or something. That's why they can't do mirrors anymore too
>>738947685>>738948105hiring more indians will fix this
>>738935982I like the new one better. I couldn't even tell that the old one was supposed to be a hand.
>>738939485I don't even know what game it's from and I think the original looks better.
>>738944582More like the world design in SV is embarrassingly garbage and they did everything to avoid making interiorsThe fucking E4 barely has an interior. Every other game, E4 members have their own themed room. In SV it's just a blank bugman cube where defeated members stand off to the side awkwardly.
>>738935982Genuine example of old good, new bad. Old one looks like uncontrollable power razing your hand ripping it apart, new one just looks like a lil object in your palm that happens to be glowing
>>738950695No idea what game this is, but seems perfectly faithful.
>>738936247I would expect something named BOUNDLESS spirit to be something overwhelming
>>738951502Yeah, the item is called "Boundless Spirit", and the old art depicted the spirit being unbounded from the physical body. Apparently people weren't realising that the old one was a hand? Fucking retarded.
>>738951597Even if you can't immediately tell it's a hand, it's two "brother" items should be enough context clues to give you an idea of the progression. People are just fucking retarded as you said
>>738939342This remaster makes me mad beyond belief. It's completely wasted effort. The original Spyro trilogy is already good, why not remake something like Enter the Dragonfly? The main reason that one sucks is that it was a borderline beta build rushed out for a Christmas release the year it came out. Game actually could have been good with some polish and removal of the abysmal loading times that plagued the original.
>>738951876It's the remaster that made me lose faith in remasters near permanently
>>738951876Could it? The levels are way too large and the actual level themes sucked pretty hard. You would have to do a full top to bottom rebuild of the game and at that point you might as well make a new Spyro game altogether. Not that I am complaining.
>>738951876Companies don't want to make something good, they want to make money. Remaking something that already sold well is proven to work on consumer cattle
>>738936116both of these are ugly and soulless and if you disagree you literally are a non-person.
>>738947685JUST
>>738950695This looks great, like a Tengo Project remake.
>>738936578None of the characters look good but the bottom art at least makes the group look a lot more livelier and interesting than the charisma voids from the top pic.
You cant just hate everything. Even the good onesHow about posting some that you actually like?
>>738947685sims 2 was made by people who actually gave a shit
>>738939449>>738939695>individual teeth>can see gums>tiny realistic eyes>less exaggerated expressionswho the fuck thought this was a good idea?Crash 4's textures/expressions are a billion times better
>>738944582>Game Freak become too lazy to make building interiors>"Dude this is incredible worldbuilding actually"Shut up you idiot
>>738953623>Even the good oneslegit never happened
>>738942237>Fully fledged fucking brick CATHEDRALThat's what I don't get.Aren't these guys even looking at the original material? Is this corporate crap made in such a soulless way that the artists aren't even in touch with the fucking original material they're supposed to be remaking?
>>738956589Common trend seems to be that they explicitly put people on the job that havent heard/seen/played or actively hate the product on it. With how many western trends they are chasing maybe they also copied that.
>>738947685>>738948105Claude Code will fix this.
>>738948105Boom, day, gigapatta.
>>738944816Ah, there it is.
>>738935982I didn't even know it was supposed to be a hand
