the *amount* of added time in remake managing inventory is nuts, because there are double the amount of puzzle items while the inventory slots for chris and jill are the same as the original. you are constantly running back and forth.

there are many more cases in remake where you have to squeeze through an area and killing is unavoidable. and i’m not talking about kerosene for burning zombies, i get that’s optional. the main issue with inventory is the extra puzzle items, not the means of dispatching zombies. in the original game you have a lot more leeway and ability to move forward in progress without constantly needing to go back and forth. there’s really no reason at all other than artificially elongating the experience for there to be as many extra puzzle items when the outcomes are the same. it’s shit design.

re 1-3 don’t have that problem, they keep it moving much better. remake taxes you and wrecks the flow of the game. don’t try to fucking tell me i should be cool with this because that’s how re games just are, because yeah they all have the item management but not to the retarded degree that remake does that adds way too much time and sucks the fun out.

The retro era really ended with the mid 90s. Beyond simple arguments about 2D vs 3D, the vibe just changed. Everything became more focused on normalfag interests as opposed to nerds

Astal, Clockwork Knight, Keio Flying Squadron 2, Shining the Holy Ark, Saturn Bomberman, Albert Odyssey Legend of Eldean, Elevator Action Returns, The Legend of Oasis, Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru, etc etc

The Saturn has plenty of games which are basically 8-16 bit games in spirit but with 5th gen graphics. It was THE platform for players who refused see video games evolve. So if you really believe what the OP is saying, you should love the Saturn, instead of being one of those normalfags who thinks "it needed saving".

Any other fellow anons from those countries can give me their experiences with retrogaming (growing up, popular games, collecting or emulating in current day, etc..).
All I know is that the PS2 is still incredibly popular there, would like to know if Sega, Atari or the OG Xbox had their fans.

It's impossible to revisit these titles now with the sheer number of romhacks and kaizo available.

Even normies will laugh at you if you said you were a big fan of Super Mario World but never once beat a kaizo romhack.

I need the validation of others to function, so out of fear and embarrassment of still dying in vanilla Mario I just load up the Donkey Kong Country or something instead.

Powerslave is a completely different game on PC and consoles and I've heard that the console versions are much better. I wanted to try the Sega Saturn Powerslave, but I was wondering if the remaster is a much better option?

>>12279546
The game barely runs on the consoles of its time, sub 200p resolution, constant drops below 10 fps, awful aiming controls. The remaster is literally the same game with no meaningful changes, but the performance boost and resolution bump elevate it so much it's pretty crazy.

Anyway, it's a pretty fun Metroid Prime like game, you acquire new movement abilities and then go back to previous levels to unlock different paths. I recommend it.

Not counting the black bars at the top/bottom of the screen, the Saturn version is 320*224 and the PSX version is 320*232, which is standard for the time.

>constant drops below 10 fps

This is also a lie, but I didn't expect more of nightdive apologists. The worst thing about their remasters isn't the liberties they take with the games, but the pletorah of fanboys who now play games they don't enjoy just because it's hip.

It's a shame how hard it is to find concept art for classic games. Post art if you have it. Here are some drawings for Wario Land's enemies.

Finally got to see that Earthbound concept art in higher quality. Thanks anon.
These enemy designs look much more surreal and inventive than what we got in the final release. They were most likely still tossing around ideas in early 1991 before they finalized the plot, locations and characters so these were likely scrapped around the time Iwata stepped in to aid them in development.

Until now I only saw >>12277590 and the sprite mockups from anons talking about it on /v/. There was some hot debate going on about the fridge sprite being faked after an anon drew it from memory, which experts on Twitter tried to pass it off as fake until proper images were taken which proved that fridge sprite was real after all. All of these images come from last year's Mother 2 exhibition which prohibited participants from taking photos with exception of the clay sculptures which were already based on their finalized designs. Cool to see the rest here, happy to download all of it.

This got destroyed in reviews but it's not bad at all.

>The Good
Entirely new levels, though some of them tend to be on the small side
Some new cars
You can acquire more cars compared to the PC version
Credits are a meaningful ressource
More aggresive opponents

>The bad
No map
No cockpit view
Opponents tend to teleport around a LOT
You can't buy car upgrades, they're found within levels in barrels and they only last for the duration of the current level. This can make your car VERY fragile and can make you lose very easily from a head on collision even at full armor

He eats way more people in the game than in the comics. I always thought your worst enemy knowing your inner most thoughts was the creepiest part of venom
>>
>>12279402
Yeah Venom originally was more of a stalker villain who yes overpowered Spider-Man but the horror aspect was more like a slasher villain than a mindless animal monster just out to devour. He's this stealthy stalker always knowing and lurking, AND you can't beat him hand to hand, he's basically like Michael Myers or Predator with some visual cues of Alien with the teeth and slime

Yeah there is a McFarlane issue of amazing from like 91 where venom as eddie shows up outside aunts may's to goad Peter to meeting up for a duel. His creep factor is that he knows everything about Peter and leverages that against him, and his sole focus is killing Peter. It's was scarier to 9 year old me than the whole carnage arch because of the familiarity.

I'm really loving this game, it's a shame the Turtles got relegated to the beat 'em up gang because this is a fun adventure. It's really captured my imagination. It is crazy hard, though. I'm using the save slot provided in the Cowabunga Collection and I can't even imagine playing through this game normally. If anyone beat this game the regular way back in '89 I'd like to shake that person's hand.
