>>748966069sovlful AI art style
IT’S NOT ENOUGHNO NEVER ENOUGH
>>748966069This feels like something out of a dream.

Switch 2 finally gets a game.
>>748966069The fuck is James Pond? It looks like Aquatic Games for SNES and I'm pretty sure it is. Is it a remake or something? They don't even really say what the game is
>>748966069>James PondWhat's next? Skunny the squirrel? Is there a parade of failed 90's mascots going on?
their post lying about not using AI is hilarious
this is one of the most transparent marketing threads i've seen in a long, long time
>>748966448do you like fish on your pizza?
>>748966069The only stake I have in James Pond is I have a SNES flash cart that plays James Pond music in the menus, one of the tracks is literally just Jingle Bells which seemed weird but I checked and it's realhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq9TdEWybeA
I actually enjoyed it and then I saw a seething mass of frothing deranged anti-AI leftists losing their fucking minds in the comment section pretending that this light hearted bit of fun trailer for a jokey game is worse than the killing of Christ because it used generated assets. I don't give a fuck and I will never care and the performative rage around this issue is fake and gay. Fuck off.
>>748966624That's exactly what it is. For some reason it only got branded as a James Pond game in EU
I told the AI to do this in one minute, I wonder what kind of shitty AI they are using that James Pond looks like a frog.
>>748966624It was a very shit but soulful platformer in the late 80s early 90s made by this one based autist who went on to make MediEvil for the Playstation. Lots of surreal and British humour in it.
>SAAR, HOW MANY COPIES WILL YOU BE REDEEMING?Zero, Ranjesh.
>>748966624It's a boomer thing, you wouldn't understand...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbJDKCoB9lM
>>748966746You seriously think this non-game collection pack release has a budget for /v/ shills if they can't even afford a non-AI trailer
>/v/ doesn't comprehend how popular this game was in England back in the dayThe world doesn't revolve around America. Other countries are allowed to have things too.
>>748966678They even went and posted these "in-progress" sketches to try and convince people they weren't AI generated but you can tell they've all been reverse engineered from the final model
>>748966860>>748966624
>>748966624It absolutely tore through the UK in the 90sJames Pond was everywhere and the government is predicting the release of this remaster to be like DQ3 in Japan with basically every major business closing for the day because their employees are calling out to play itThis is a watershed moment for gaming
>>748967072Shameless, but also funny with how badly they try to cover it up
>>748967164Huh, I thought playing videogames was haram...
>>748967072>using AI to try to prove you didn't use AII've generated dozens of pictures just like that "redraw"lol
>>748966069>The worst trailer of all time?I don't think anything will ever beat this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K00DCK1l98
>>748967072Good lord, that's rough.
>>748966624A British platformer that isn't from Rareware tardwrangled by japs. This should be all you need to know.
>>748967029No, it's the single indian dev posting
>>748967072This is insane. The third image is missing a horn and the bolt in the leg. Why would they be included in the "concept art phase", removed during the "totally a human made this 3D render phase" and then not added in until the final touch ups?
>>748967712There is no dev because this is not a new release. I'm sick of you leftists like you would not fucking believe
>>748967164>AquabatsThe band..?
>>748967804??????
For the record James Pond was big in the UK.I collection could have been really cool but the package looks like shit and it's not even a complete collection. They've included the Genesis/SNES/Amiga/Commodore version of Robocod, but where are the Gameboy, GameGear, PS1 or DS versions?
>>748966069holy slop
>>748967574yeah that might be worse
>>748967072they care so little they didn't even notice the arm is a milk jug and the canons are 4 udders. this is embarassing.
>>748966069The first time I saw this I lost my fucking shit and I still haven't found it. Hysterical.
>>748966069>>748967072i am morbidly curious what the final game looks like.
>>748968932>The new 3D characters do not replace the original artwork or appear inside the preserved classic games themselves. Instead, they have been built into the menus and presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 collection, creating a new visual world that brings the different James Pond adventures together.It's just a collection of the old games with the ai abominations on the menus
>>748969179That kind of makes it more baffling. I understand a team being tasked with fully remaking these games, not having the budget and resorting to AI to make the game. But if you're just dumping ROMs and truly have no budget to even make a decent wrapper to contain them, you could get away with some colorful menus with geometric shapes floating about or something. Why bother making these hideous models?
>>748966624there was a decent sidescrolling platformer on the sega saturn, operation starfish.
>>748966069Boomers still can't see that shit is AI generated?
>>748966448
>>748970874the comments section tore them apartblind mf
>>748969179what? so they make a trailer full of AI and the game itself is just the pixel games? Isn't that false advertising?
>>748966448High-fidelity CGI that uses sameface modeling seems extra lazy.A.I. prompting it is a level of lazy I cannot comprehend.
>>748966069James Pond 2 is the most ported game to exist
>>748966448>James Pond's girlfriend?... Jane Ponda!The creativity of the average britoid
>dosfags>circlejerking around some intensely 5/10 game because DOS had almost no platformers on itEvery time.
>>748972308Do fish even have pussies? What kind of double entendre could they get away with?
>>748969447They could have just done something like this if they were that hard up

>>748967574This video is 3 minutes but it feels like 3 hours.
>>748967061Sir Sinclair, another Commodore Amiga has hit Silicon Fen.
>>748972228That is Maximum Games's main gimmick, their Putty Squad game from 94 also got physical ports until last gen
>>748967061>>748967164This is the British answer to DQ3?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvcsztFodqs
>>748967072Okay so this was done as a joke and their managers are in on it, or by a team that straight up did not give a shit and their manager was away from the office through the entire development.
>>748967072how do you fuck something up so much, this is why I hate remakes, AI aside did they not realise the cannon is meant to be a milk churn?
>>748971881Why am I supposed to hate AI again?
>>748972840naughty boy got tea bagged by santa.
>>748972890Eh this isn't the first time companies have tried to cover their ass from AI slopping by AI generating concept art. The Plants vs Zombies remake did the same thing.
But will the officially licensed penguin biscuit platforms be preserved?
>>748966069What's the point of "game preservation" if it's going to be exclusive to a console that hasn't been hacked yet? No dumps means no access on PC.
>>748975141This. If they actually cared about preservation they'd put the games on GOG, but as the trailer clearly indicates, they don't give a fuck and just want a quick cash grab. Switch 2 exclusivity is the best bet for that.
>>748975275What the fuck, I just found out it's a Game Key Card! Jesus christ...
>>748966069jesus christ even the song is badly made by AI
>>748970874It literally looks fine, you have AI derangement syndrome
>>748966624
>>748972051Everything in the trailer is in the game as part of the "Pondverse" companion that ties all the games together. It's an encyclopedia on all things James Pond and uses all the 3D models seen in the trailer as images.
>>748979769The Murder of Sonic the Hegheg: circa 1991, colorized
Eh, still better than Mighty No 9. Or the Duke Nukem Trilogy.
>>748966448Jesus, this is Boomer tier humour.
>>748981740James Bond is a relic of the 60s/70s. What did you expect?
>>748982307He's still a thing. They just made a new game afterall.
>>748982419NuBond is not the same kind of Bond James Pond is parodying. The games in this collection are all from the early 90s.
