What does /v/ think of Ashley's game(s)?I found them rather boring but the art and character design are all quite nice.
Ashley is so cute! I even enjoyed her english VA
I enjoyed the first game of the remake a lot, the second was longer and not in a mansion so I didn't like it as much.
Never played her games but she looks weak to anal
JURUETTO REIIIIIKUUUUURU RU RU RUUUUUUUUUU
It's fine. If you have an itch for mistery game and have already played all titans then it would work.
>>745199536The first one is really good, some puzzles like the coin one were challengingThe second one I feel like it’s more of a classic adventure experience>>745203110She is
Am I supposed to know what this is?
>>745206154Trace Memory.
>>745206154I imagine if you use the tools at your immediate disposal to image search the OP, you'll find an answer on your own.
>>745206154A recent remake of this series that started on Nintendo DS. They're point and click adventures, with above average writing, by the same company that made Hotel Dusk Room 215 which is also a classic, but none of them sold well, and people don't know them.
>>745206213>Nintendo DSAh that's why I've never heard of it. Gotta love the endless catalogue of games locked on Nintendos shitty old hardware. Talk to me when it's on a real platform.>>745206243Fag
>>745206278being senile is not as cool as you think it is.
>>745206154OP can't even be bothered to type the game name so don't be bothered to reverse image search and find it yourself.
>>745206154>>745206270The original. Ashley is 14 in the first game, where it's 3D top down controls, along with pre-rendered backgrounds and a resident evil eseque mansion (but without horror or combat) and later a sequel came out on Wii, where Ashley is older and full of "teen problems"It's sort of like Life is Strange except less hipster and the writing is better.
>>745199536If she let her hair grow out till it's not longer a dyke cut I would bang her.
>>745206397I remember seeing the review of this game in Nintendo Power back in the day and thinking it looked halfway interesting. Never followed up on that, but I did play the remakes.
it's been so long since I played Another Code R than when I played the remake version I didn't really know if it was a good or bad thing that they removed so much fucking content.
>>745207242I saw it in magazines too and I was interested because she was a good looking anime girl and I was 13
>>745207728Valid.
The game's artist kanasaki taisuke make drew some older ashley
>>745210240
>>745199536d-dante? is that you?
https://x.com/kanayan2929/mediaArtist's works FYI
Reminder that Nintendo consider her important enough to be featured in their museum mural
>>745199536I think it's a less interesting version of pic related.Shame Cing died
>>745207242I got an R4 early on in the DS life cycle and downloaded this along with Hotel Dusk, because HD caught my eye in Nintendo's E3 in 2008.Glad I did, because it has moments I can't stop thinking about many years later that just feel very soulful and authentic. There's an anecdote in the mansion you come to about the family that lived there, and you discover the clues around the place about how the family went from a rich and happy one into a tragic one, and it's connected to the years of World War 2. So there's a kind of sobering moment in the story where you're just sifting through the leftovers and find that the sons of the rich family were proudly sent to WW2, but one comes back without an arm, and developed some kind of PTSD, and then their kids begin to make paintings to vent some of the bad things that happened. And you just kinda glean from the paintings and diaries what went on, and it really works in terms of writing/presentation, because the first impression is that this is the abandoned house of a wealthy 1950s family tree, but not all was as it seemed.And then there's also some allegoric connections between the narrative of that backstory-family and the fact that Ashley is looking for her absentee father somewhere in the mansion due to a modern science project.it really is Resident Evil as a point and click on a superficial level, but the story isn't generic.
>>745199536Original games are better in some ways, and that not me just being contrarian. The new puzzles are generally much easier, even in cases where they didn;t need to be changed to make up for the absence of hardware features. The only one that tested me what the remote control boat, because the controls were deliberately CUNTY.>Remake 1st begins "in media res" to provide a tutorial, but this fucks up the flow and got me panicking that I wouldn't get to see Ashley's hot Auntie>Ashley is not bratty enough and the Captain of the boat doesn't even get to calm the brat down with a sweet. Fuck>cuts out the mines on the approach to the Edwards Mansion, so the revelation relating to the mines later on would probably feel like an afterthought if I didn't already know of it>speedrunning Ashley's friendship with D, fuckin slut>Edward Mansion seems more "explorable", but I couldn't find a portrait of D's Mother for the Family Tree no matter how hard I looked>putting all such info in a pause screen menu that you needed to remember to check was a SHIT idea anyway, it makes so many bits of side info missable because they get overwritten with progress>why redesign Ashley's Dad to NOT look similar to Bill if you're going to leave the original art assets laying around from the first game? (Corkboard from music fest)Remake 2nd should have just had new puzzles and the other artistic upgrades. The story is so fucked I can't even remember how bad, but it also felt like it was half the length, and not just because of the reduced dialogue. And WHY did they have to fuck with the design of my cute autistic scientist Gina Barnes (REAL) and her ankle-strap fuck-me shoes. But yes, Ashley is cute and I wish her original outfit for R was unlockable.Franchise is fuckin neutered now like Endless Ocean. Thankyou for reading my spergout.
>>745210689It is, but I think Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk contain the peak of CiNG moments, and Last Window, while basically as good as Hotel Dusk, was just a tad more long in the tooth and not as good a second time. A bit like the dichotomy of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. YMMV.
>>745210838I don't know what's wrong with the current 4chan generation, but I've seen a lot of people here state they did not play the new game solely because they race swapped two extremly minor characters from white to black. I find that extremely pathetic.
Tech demos basically.Dunno why they turned half assed the remake and turned into a glorified walking simulator/VN hybrid when the system has enough controller gimmicks to make an actual game.
>>745210838Yeah... I appreciate the ex-CiNG team at Arc System Works making these remakes but the fact is they have horrible voice acting like every bad anime dub does, which alone diminishes the impression you got from reading, but it's also just completely de-innovated. There's now a credits Vocal OST song that makes it feel more like it's fully committed to the Life is Strange-ness, and there's no touch screen support despite being a Switch title.The director of the Another Code and Hotel Dusk games from CiNG made another project for Switch 2, the Dear Me, I Was game, and while it's no Hotel Dusk and it's only an hour long, it has the same sense of innovation and originality that the DS games used to have.I recommend that game over the Recollection collection, and emulating the DS games, except Hotel Dusk has a few parts that are very hard to emulate, and they really have to be played on real hardware imo.
>>745211019That honest didn't bother me, since the original drummer in the band looked like her Mother drank while she was pregnant, and the new singer was a massive improvementI was more pissed off that they changed the personalities of so many of the characters like the dude in the shop. He was more lackadaisical in the original, so it made more sense that Ashley was able to take advantage of his "whutever bro" attitudeGenerally the remake of the 2nd game seemed like it was trying too hard to match the length of the first, and I think that hurt it
Sexo
Would your teen self-befriend or at least date any of the characters?
>>745211750Still mad that you can't play as her while she wears that outfit in the remake.
>>745211758I wish I could tell you but I can barely remember my teen years from all the damage caused by being hopped up on prescriptions. Imagine having the first 20 years of your life be little more than a fog.
>>745211329You must have missed the release day threads, and those in the week after. It was FULL of posters stating they were dropping / boycotting the game once they find out about the race swapping. I thought they were trolling, but there were tons of these posts and even more posts on other forums.
>>745212095why is she sweaty
>>745211992People are genuinely sick of that shit, even for relatively minor stuff that probably would not have bothered them a decade ago. It's just how shit is.
>>745211992Nah I saw them, I just glossed over most of it because I was fiending to see what the new puzzles would be like...Maaan, I was a foolThis goes much deeper than Cing's old scenario writer not following the rest of the team to ArcSys
>>745212240She is helping find where my key goes. It's a puzzle.
>>745212256>>745212296https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/19cso3q/the_recenlty_released_another_code_remake_has/Just gloss through this thread and see all the upvotes...there are people geninuely so autistic they won't play a game they were looknig foward to playing if they find something that is "woke"
>>745211992race-swapping is siding with genocide whites agenda: its a clear thing and there's no doubt about it. killing white presentation = killing white populations. fuck off kike.
>>745212495You don't believe it in reverse.
>>745212995there's nothing reverse about it: go kill yourself, nobody migrating to 3rd world from white countries because nobody wants to live there willingly unless they are stuck there already. a whites only city in South Africa is more peaceful than any nigger hood in South Africa: race realism check for you retard.
Discuss the game and Ashley's cuteness, /pol/niggers
>>745213341how about disappearing into restera kike? you are akin to the ceuta invading migrants: should be killed on sight, whole slew of them.
>>745213423How about YOU fuck off back to YOUR own containment board and have your schizo episode there instead
See? this is what release day threads were like with all the poltards
>>745213618how about you follow your leader and jump off the bridge? all of you null faggot malding niggers should stay off of 4chan. old 4chan is full on 100% Asmongold tier takes: you are the tourist here and get shot, niggerfaggot.
>>745213745Get a fuckin job
>>745214091how about stop being a tourist kike from reddit, you are not welcome to enroach like a turk on European soil on 4chan. how many babies have you raped? how many dead children are in your closet faggot?
>>745214248Stop worrying your poor Mother and get a job
>>745213461>Also, all women look better with short hair.That anon aint right...
So why is a /pol/ schizo having a melty over some cute girl puzzle game?
>>745199536I actually love them and would love to play more. played with jap dub btw because I'm a samurai gaijin and Ashley's voice is cuter there.
>>745215061To be honest, this is what the release day threads were like. If you want a real answer, I suspect there is an unfortunate overlap of fans of this game and those pol schizos. I believe it's because this game was sort of an underground hidden gem that gained popularity through the pirate modding community on the DS at the time. Which happens to be people who are autistic and NEET, which is what pol schizos are.
This part of the remake was beautiful.
>>745215269I just want the band to get back togetherClassic case of a great team with most of the right elements but for a competent accountant, it seems
>>745215269>played with jap dub btw because I'm a samurai gaijin and Ashley's voice is cuter there.English VA was fine you weeb. I mean this as someone who hates english dubbing for the most part.
>>745213274>there's nothing reverse about it: go kill yourself, nobody migrating to 3rd world from white countries because nobody wants to live there willingly unless they are stuck there already.There is white migration to cities in Mexico like Allende. Also why you bring up real life when talking about media? You most likely were one of the guys mocking that IGN writer who said Stelkar Blade "kills women" of course its nonsense, how could a video game do that? Now white genocide? That's real.

>>745216069>I thought D was a hologram.Someone else was
>>745216031nta. Who would been a good english va for Ashley?
>>745215996showing tummy was very 2000s
>>745206397>Ashley is 14Is she still 14 in the new game? This is important.
>>745213745>old 4chan is full on 100% Asmongold tier takesNo wonder he is your spiritual leader. The guy doesn't know anything.
>>745216118The english VA for the remake (Kaitlyn Yott) was fine imo. the only thing I was sad about the VA in the remake is we didn't hear Ashley singing despite the game alluding that she was singing in her band
>anons here were actually upset about this
>>745216286white replacement is not okay
>>745216172nta. Is he dead yet?
>>745216332ashley makes me sad I dont' have a GF bros
>>745216286Didn't the right one replace a character that was in the band?
>>745216443yes there was another random dude that got replaced by janet, who was turned black..These are extremely minor characters in the original game so the retards here complaing are idiots
Didn't Ashley fall for the college guy or the boy?
>>745216031I'm not denying it I just prefer how the japanese voice sounds. and since I'm not english native and am actually used to japanese, it's better that way to me.
>>745216973Why doesn't she have pupils?
>>745217179It's a mystery
>>745216158in the remake? yes, but only on the first game. she's 16 at the second one.
>>745217131My bad anon. But trust me no one really had a problem with the english VA except weebs. The english VA wasn't doing a cringey fact "anime" accent like cheap dubs. the voice sounded natural, for the most part.
>>745216394Got another goldigger gf last time I heard.
>>745206278>don't know game>get told game>Yeah, fuck that, it's on a shit platform, so no wonder I don't know it.Just own your flub.
>>745216158>Is she still 14 in the new game? This is important.why anon?
Is it me or did they make Ashley more developed and thicker in the remake?
>>745217540She was thicker in the remake. You missed all the ass posting
>>745217540They sure did, her ass was perfectly round for a teenager
>>745217495nta but we like cute girls being cute while doing cute things also surpassing their limits.
I like her expressions
>>745199536Played the remake last month and it was bad. 99% of the gameplay is removed. Ultimately dropped the game partways into the second story with the camping trip. Wish I had gotten to play the original instead of this shit.The way Ashley is rendered and her voice is just about the only good part of the game.
>>745217834Why she hates her dad more in the remake?>>745217932How would you improve it then?
>>745218243She's older and bratty. Something something teenage daddy issues
>>745207425I played both within a year of each other and they didn't really remove anything? The plot did change a bit though.Also this game didn't really need the over the shoulder camera, the orginal side scrolling/point and click was enough.
>>745218243>How would you improve it then?it's unsalvageable reallyI'd just play the og instead
Is it wrong that I ship Ashley with the guy in the shop or the boy that took her bag?
>>745218510you should ship her with me
>>745218554I ship it
>>745218554Nice try Bill.
>>745218243>Why she hates her dad more in the remake?pretty sure it's because of the writers/directors/producers personal experience. the og happened like 19 years before the remake so they had enough time to have actual daughters and actually suffer in their hands.
>>745217495Cause I'm a hebe, why else
>>745218510>or the boy that took her bag?they look really nice and cute together so nope.
>>745218348I wish we had more hebes with these proportions
ashley is so heckin cute /v/ros
I knew itI knew I shouldn't have come
>>745219237cute/10
>>745199536worse than kyle hyde which were boringbut still miles better than dark auction, game got ruined by use of AI in art generation and writing
>>745218869here you go
>>745219606>She hugs dadNice.
>>745219971
>>745220037Nice editing.
Is there any good fan art of the series?
Cursed or Blessed?
>>745220370I posted official fanart from the head artist earlier in the thread. If you mean lewds then no
Wasn't Bill in love with Ashley because she looks like her mom?
Could they even make a third entry one day?
>>745221570What would it even look like?
I thought that D would be related to the technology of another somehow but no he was just a fucking ghost. Weird
>>745223123ooooooooouuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
Who else thought that Ashley falls for the villain of the second game?
>>745219567Exposing so much leg must be embarrassing for her, I wonder which girlfriend forced her into these
>>745216119Sexier times
>>745228003but she's a minor.
>>745229462Out of ten!
>>745219590>AI in art generation and writingSource?
>>745228003People who post these have not played "her" game.
>>745219590Lad never truly experienced the joy of getting himself a paperclip which would be incredibly useful later onKyle Hyde was the MacGyver / Columbo hybrid you don't deserve
>>745231015Prove it cunt
Did people really get mad about the race swap?
>>745231519https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/19cso3q/the_recenlty_released_another_code_remake_has/
>>745231695Where's the race swap
>>745231785I think the girl and women were blonde.
is the story in the og as terrible as it was in the remake? the writing was pretty bad.for example, why would Ashley have waited until NOW to ask jessica what kind of person her dad/mom was instead of in the 10 years prior to this? why weren't there photos of them around from her early childhood? bunch of shitty contrivances to set up the story.
>>745232014I didn't play the remake so I can't say. But I know the sequel has a substantially different (and shorter) story in the remake, but admittedly it was one of CiNG's worst plots on the Wii. They went bankrupt during the release-cycle of that game so I suspect they had to take what they had and stop iterating on the script and ship it, so it feels like it really reaches a great build-up in the Wii version, and then the climax and conclusion feels like it's barely making sense, even though it does sort of resolve the themes.The first game also has some plotting issues particularly with the culmination (when you find the father, and his "rival" in the cave) so idk if they improved or made it worse in the remake, but I lost interest during the first area inside the mansion because the SOVL and vibe wasn't there IMO.The original game has an... excuse the term, "liminal" feeling once you're inside the mansion, and the discoveries of the Blood Edward family are delivered with a lot of impact IMO. The mystery about D's role in it remained interesting, and Ashley's monologues were quite nice.What also elevated the Nintendo DS game was that NoA was responsible for the localization-- HEAR ME OUT ALL RIGHT--! At the time, they had some people working for them, who later quit to become full time novelists, and the prose is actually pretty fucking good, with memorable lines like Ashley's "My heart is in a blender." or the Captain saying something like "Hey Ashley? Don't become one of those boring adults who never ask questions."I felt like the game spoke to me when I was playing it. The remake just feels like some typical anime OVA production, and it's lost the sauce imo.My favorite moment in the sequel is about discovering someone's ghost, and it's revealed during a mini-game. They probably removed this in the remake...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7g3SoCW6bc
>>745202612Second Trace Memory is kino.
this is weird but I think of lost in blue as this game's companion game cause when I was a kid these two games were ones I wanted but couldn't buy on the ds, and they both take place on islands
If you think R's remake is a slog, I played the original until I got to the camping part where I just couldn't be bothered to continue, it had lost all its momentum by then. Didn't pick it up again until 2 years later.It was always a slog.
Just for the record, Ashley is a slut.
>>745233646What makes it a slog?>>745235250Do you have a single fact to back up that statement?
>>745235250source
>>745236527>>745238295can't post it
>>745238792Who on the left?
>>745239226her aunt
>>745199536What's the trace over body silhouette of Ashley's body like in both games? Im curious what body shape she has without clothes.
>>745206397The only things Life Is Strange and Trace Memory is that they both take place in the PNW.I'm not from there btw, are these games accurate depictions of the Pacific Northwest? One was made by Japanese and the other by the French.
