Would you ever play the original release when a remaster is available? Is there any merit?
>>12245969Is there any merit to playing a remake?
>>12245969The original release, in the original language, loaded off of the original media, played on unmodified original hardware, displayed on a consumer CRT. Always.
>>12245974Adds contentFixes stuff from og that was broken/didnt workMayyybe QoL thingsbut i'd prefer a remaster that does all that desu
>>12245969>please buy our censored remakenah fuck you fatlus
>>12245969I do all the time.Not playing SH2R. I enjoyed the OG well enough. SH4 is the only remake that would make me play it too.I plan to play the OG star ocean 1 and 2 over all its ports.Tried to play the Snes Tactics Ogre after the PSP one but is way too hard.Not touching the FF7 Remakes lmao.I plan to play P4R. I don't like the ending of P3, makes replays feel pointless.I have played the Remakes of the Resident Evils sans 3. The OG RE 1 is still my fav.Havent played the FF3 Remake because I found the OG one good enough.In general I don't mind playing Remakes but the OG ones are usually a priority
>>12245969>Is there any merit to playing the original vision of the dev team?Seriously nigga
>>12245974Depends on the remake in concept and execution
>>12245969if you played the remaster, you didn't beat the game.simple fact, i don't make the rules.
>>12245969I played the 3D remake of FF4 and it was fun as fuck
>>12245969Depends on the changes the remaster makes. If it's just some graphical improvements like increased resolution and FPS, I'll consider it. If the devs changed the gameplay though, I'll think thrice and might pick the remaster only if the original is hard to come by.
i hate remakes and remasters as a concept, but i'm seriously considering grabbing ff tactics ivalice chronicles because i heard they made the game easier (i suck at videogames)
>>12245986>Mayyybe QoL thingsI never liked the quality of life excuse because it almost always universally boils down to just making the game easier or faster for retards with ADD who are crippled by fear of a game over.
>>12245969being a remaster doesn't guarantee changes for the better.I usually point to Sonic Adventure DX or Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary as an example
>>12245969Modern graphics near universally look like shit.
>>12245969If the remaster/remake changes the story and adds new things then I play the original as well. I mean take for example RE1 Remake and the original game. Yeah, the story beats are the same but the execution is very different.It's similar to movies. Will you only watch the new Total Recall or also watch the old one? They're not the same thing despite being based on the same story.I just wish more publishers included the original game with their remasters instead it seems they feel games are disposable. Once new version comes out the old ones get dumped into the waste.
>>12246146Why was it fun? What did the N64 3D add?
>>12246146Nice. The 3d FF3 is still my favorite FF game ever.
>>12245969People often hate remasters/remakes but usually they are the same in terms of gameplay.I personally prefer the OG look too btw. For example with RE4.
>>12245969Depends on the remake/remaster.In the case of P3, any challenge was removed by backporting battle mechanics from P5 and failing to balance around them. Social links were also made easier, both by adding more ways to progress them and by making penalties harder to trigger (and they can't be broken at all anymore).A lot of what was changed was just making the game easier for the "Huge Persona 3 Fans Excited to Play It for First Time" crowd. All other changes just make it look and sound more like Persona 5.
I have extreme zoomer fatigue
>>12245969Usually, remakes are low effort, uninspired cashgrabs. But if the original was, also...
>>12245969To experience the past and gain context for the present.You most likely will not understand that sentence.
>>12245969I play whichever is the most convenient, sometimes that's a remaster and sometimes it's the original. Which ever option for me personally requires the least amount of input.Most of the time that means playing the original game that I already have installed or laying around.But there are exceptions to this most notably with shitty PC ports of some games. The only exception to my first statement is when the remaster adds in additional content I will usually pirate to see what's in it.
>>12245969>"Merit! Merit!"*punches in face*>"M-Merit?"*rolls into football and punts into volcano*>"Merriiiiiiiitt!" *flaps flabby arms* "Merwiiiiiiiiii..."*volcano erupts, lava'd remains cool down in fron of you*>*coughs, somehow barely alice, whispers:* "Muh-merit..."*takes a donkey-dookie dump on our 'merit'ous zoomzoom*
For P3 you want to play th original original. The psp version lets you play as a girl which is woke and the newest one mostly likely is removing on of the funniest scenes also for woke reasons.
>>12245969unless there's significant fixes or content additions the original just looks better half the time
I can't name a single remaster where they didn't fuck up at least 1 thing big or small, usually they ruin many things though. Even just basic HD ports where the goal is to keep the original visuals tend to fuck up graphical effects somewhere along the line or introduce new bugs. I avoid them like the plague, ESPECIALLY if it's a game I haven't played before. Even if there was a hypothetical genuine masterclass of a remaster for a game available, how am I going to appreciate whatever changes they made if I'm not familiar with the source material? And if the original game really was so horrifically unplayable I feel like you're just putting lipstick on a pig and the game maybe just isn't worth playing in the first place.
>>12246393Not him but I wanna play that version some day too. Apparently it completely changed spells and enemy encounters and it ends up being way harder. It also has new cutscenes.
>>12245969I this case I smoke only merit and this gaem sucks
>>12245969Yeah, remasters often change gameplay unnecessarily. I want main character to use axes and hammers instead of having that weapon type be effectively useless!
>>12246680>give them all unique names and faces >all the dissidias still use a generic onion knight
>>12245969>pic says remake>is a remaster
>>12247076It's not a remaster, all the assets are completely new. The combat is changed from the original, too.
>>12247105So it's a sequel, like Dead Space Remake.
>>12247105Ring menu is gone that belonged to old publisher squenix I guess
>>12246393>>12246912The 3D itself didn't add shit and sucked. But all the systems and content was redone. The result was not necessarily better overall, but definitely offers an interesting twist particularly with regards to character building and customization. Also, certain classes are fleshed out and made more permanently useful (Cecil's Dark Knight and Edward's Bard in particular). The game has a weird but effective build system where you can permanently learn top-level ("command") abilities from items, and you typically get these awarded after a character leaves the party. So you can, for example, teach someone like Rydia to use Bard Song (which now has abilities like group regen and haste)The difficulty is increased, but some of this vaunted difficulty is just careless jank or annoying but status attacks that just slow things doen. For ex, in the OG, mid-game flamedogs have a full party AE attack they use when they are the last remaining enemy. It's a special formula attack based on 25% of the target's max HP. In the remake, it's just a standard fire damage formula used randomly at any time. The damage is so poorly tuned, a single back attack can wipe an appropriately-leveled party before they can do anything. Or, they don't use the fire AoE and the battle is completely trivial. Just lazy.
I think REmake and Twin Snakes are fun to play and I play them as much as I play RE and MGS. They're different experiences but still fun. Modern remakes don't really add anything though.
>>12245969Remasters and remakes are soulless shit most of the time.
>>12247165Thanks for the information.I will not try out this game.
>>12247165Still better than FFIII DS.I still can't believe Square Enix NEVER fixed the monster limit that killed the game balance in any re-release until the pixel remaster.
>>12246036>Not touching the FF7 Remakes lmao.I haven't played it but the fact that it isn't really a remake is pretty based. Remakes that just take an old game and give it modern gameplay/graphics are pointless.
>>12245969Yes, I always pirate and play originals (for three minutes) and enjoy the smig sense of superiority over the publishers of remakes
>>12245969The originals are often very hard to get a hold of, so most people will default to whatever latest re-release.
>>12245986In this case, it actually removes content since its a port of the original and not FES.
>>12249710It has all FES content and even Portable content (such as part time jobs). The only thing missing is the female MC route from Portable.
>>12249781It's still censored, butchered the soundtrack, dramatically downgrades the animated sequences into in-engine trash and had a bunch of woke garbage shoehorned into it (including the entire brown English voice cast). It's also laughably easy thanks to all the "quality of life" shit added, since the difficulty curve wasn't adjusted to account for that.Like 99.999999% of remakes it's lazy slop sharted out to make a quick buck because for some fucking reason they need a decade or more to make an actual new turn-based jarpig with PS3 graphics. The modern games industry is a cancer.
>>12249896Now you're just sperging out and spouting nonsense. Bait used to be believable.
>why would you play the original devs' artistic vision instead of what some hacks painted over it for Modern AudiencesI hope OP is trolling but someone is actually buying that shit so he probably isn't.>>12248481>The originals are often very hard to get a hold ofOnly if you're too much of a cocksucker to pirate them, which most people are but that's by choice.
