Is it too late to go back to sprites and the classic formula?
Yes. Name one series that successfully went from 3D back to 2D.
>Is it too late to make the games abysmal dogshit?
>>59197812mega man
>>59197814also i'm trans, just in case you were wondering
Uh oh, Kojo melty!
>>59197812Dragon Quest
>>59197812Rayman
>>59197802Shin Megami Tensei
>>59197802I dont like the nostalgia pandering style like HD2D, but 2D can be good if they actually tried to make it look as good as possible. They won't though.
>>59197814Pokemon has never looked good outside of Gen 1. You're arguing over which turd has the most sprinkles on it.
>>59197802I want hand-drawn graphics.
>>59197802>SpritesGF wasn't even particularly good at them at the time. Imagine how bad they'd look now that they're 13 years out of practice with sprites. Are the old sprite artists even still there?Not to mention, the percieved visual "downgrade" from 3D to sprites might be one of the only things that could snap normalfags out of their trance and stop auto-buying these shitty games.>classic formulaI can't think of a single IP that sold out to the open-world slop and then went back to making real games. The classic formula had also already been dumbed down in the 3DS era and even if they ever brought it back, it would still be dumbed down so Japanese kids wouldn't bitch to them about Mt. Coronet again.
I could see a 2.5D Octopath style pokemon game, but it won't happen.
>>59197814hi yawnfag
>>59198091Ooh, that would cause a big melty.
>>59197915Oh fuck off boomer
>>59197802Yes
>>59197802Yes. Kids think pixel graphics are ugly and outdated. They don't like 2D games either because they grew up playing Minecraft and Roblox.
>>59197915gen 2
We don't need to go back to sprites, just stylize the game so it stays faithful to the 2D artwork
>>59198441It’s not just kids it’s casuals as well that think sprite graphics means ugly. They rather play low effort 3D game vs a well polished sprite based game
>>59197802Dragon Quest 11 did it
>>59198501Isn't that just a bonus mode? It's not like the game released like that with no other option.
>>59197812mario
>>59198487There isn’t a single mainline Pokemon game in existence that’s a “well polished sprite based game”
>>59198505you cant just release a 2d only game anymore when you switch to 3d. What 11 did is the only option left for Goyfreak, and its still the full game at least
>>59198487Yeah true. Pixel graphics are from before when normies decided that games are cool actually, so to them pixel graphics scream "nerd shit" so they don't like it.
>>59198446...Mogged by a wide plethora of GBC games, which actually took advantage of having color, compared to GSC which was just "Gen 1 with color and more on-model-reliant sprites."
>>59197802I hate to break it to you but if current Game Freak made another sprite-based game with the classic formula again it'd just be Sword and Shield again but 2D.
>>59197802>Retard posts a 3D background game
The only time Pokemon looked as good as their competition (on the same platform) was Gen 2 and Gen 5. All the other gens are nowhere near anything else on the same console.
>>59198814What? Gen 5 looked like shit. Gen 4 looked way better, and it looked still pretty meh compared to a lot of other DS titles.
>>59198814>t. falseflagging kojo
>>59198814>and Gen 5got too greedy with your bait
>>59197812Metroid
>>59198847I am playing Platinum right now. There is no way it looks better than BW2. No shot you think that.>>59198830Just talking about pixel art games, which games do you consider better looking? I'd have TWEWY and Mega Man ZX but that's really it
>>59197802Too late for 2D yes. cell shaded however...
>>59198912>There is no way it looks better than BW2
