Nothing against modders and romhackers but why do they feel like they have the artistry to replace the original developer vision and art?
>>12697376because they do. bottom > top
>>12697376Something against modders, they're all tranny pseuds who think they know better even though they never made a game themselves
>>12697381The Mook looks extremely goofy in the fan remake.And I don't know why they felt like doing an OC design for Pippi, the original sprite is based on her clay model, the fan sprite is based on nothing, doesn't really look like her original clay model, nor her in game map sprite either.Also that's an unused sprite, and it's cool that romhackers include unused stuff like that, but... why the need to donutsteel it?
It's easier to mod and edit a game and larp as a developer than it is to make an entire game and I guess it feels good
>>12697376People who think the original games are fine and that there is no need to improve upon them generally do not invest hundreds upon hundreds of hours of their life into modifying games.
>>12697376Why did devs of the OG feel the need to rerelease a version with shittier music?
>>12697482At least they didn't rearrange it to make it OC>>12697480The thing is that there's no improvement on the bottom row
>>12697482And censored sprites. OP is gay.
>>12697491Only because they used the NOA unreleased game as a base.At least other than 2 or 3 changed sprites it all looks the same, they didn't change the spritework
Stop liking original releases.Start liking fan altered works.
>>12697405Those would be translators mostly, some guy with a website.>13 years making a mod for gta sa on it's own becoming his game (rockstar gave license to him for all the gta games).>makes game hacks.>doesn't say he is a developer.>made hundreds of mods.>makes videos on mmd.>has made trainers and hacks.>has made games on his own.>still doesn't call himself a developer.Just seeing 13 years on a mod it doesn't seem as easy as claimed.
>>12697376this is fucking grim
>>12697376Wow, this looks like fucking shit and the personality and attitude of all 3 enemies is completely offI knew this thing was going to be shit, do post more so I can repost it every time some retard who never played the original recommends to others to "just play the fan remake lol" because we all know this is what's going to happen from now on.
>>12697557Man, I have read this 3 times and I still don't understand what the hell you're talking about.
>>12697851Was literally about to post this. Shit is unintelligible.
>>12697815Starman isn't too egregious. The other 2 yes. Both had a creepy vibe that is completely lost in the remake graphics with Pippi looking generic and Mook looking like a clownish goof instead of a creepy goof
>>12697870The original Starman's stance makes him look cold and dehumanized whereas in the remake his stance makes him look cocky. Even just the crotch area makes him look more human. He looks like a mother reprimanding her 5 years old for doing something he shouldn't have done.
>>12697871I can see it. Still the lesser offender of the 3 I reckon.
>>12697376I agree, but I'm only concerned about it if there's a risk of replacing or burying the originalapart from that, a bored teenager from texas can make art in 2026 that is as interesting as whatever a stressed salary man from tokyo made in 1996. there's nothing special about the work of the original devs beyond it being a sort of canon or time capsule we can all collectively relate toI'm often concerned about seemingly arbitrary changes made by modders, but the truth is that a lot of the original devs were just rushing to finish the game and they just made whatever they could in the short time they had
>>12697482the GBA has shit audio in general
>>12697376In this case they did a good job
>>12697939Yeah. GBA is impressive in many ways... Except for the audio.
>>12697851>>12697868One guy does all those things, doesn't call himself a dev.Modders change one easy thing and call themselves Devs.It's just>>12697557 saying "not all x are y!" With no-one asking
>>12697512Ohhh, but the clunkiness, I can't have fun with the clunkiness.
>>12697376>Redrawn Pippi
>>12697994This did not help.
>>12697982>Namefag has bad tasteAs expected!
>>12697376Where the fuck do you ever fight pippi?
>>12697376The redrawn Giygas is awful. It seems like the SNES demake version was also based off of it, even though the original shits on both of them.>>12698731you don't, there's just unused graphics for her for unknown reasons
>>12698773I think I prefer the Giygas from Cognitive Dissonance
>>12698785>>12698773these are both shitty mewtwos
>>12698785at least he doesn't have a big ass head in this one
>>12698790>what is a fetus?
>>12697376This is the only mother thread active so I'll just ask here. I'm unsure of which Mother game to start with, what's the best one to play to get my footing? I heard earthbound beginnings is good but can be grindy and unbalanced, would it better to go from 1 to 3?
>>12699350Earthbound first. I would go EB, 3 and then if you still want more then Beginnings.
>>12697482MOTHER 1 + 2 was made to gauge interest in the series to see if it would be worth reviving MOTHER 3 as a GBA game.>>12699350Normally I'd say always play release order, but the order you Player MOTHER and EarthBound doesn't really matter so play whichever you think looks more interesting. Definitely play EarthBound before MOTHER 3, though.
>>12699354>>12699358Thanks for the responses, anons.
>>12699350>>12699358Oh I'll mention that MOTHER is much shorter than EarthBound. MOTHER took me about 20 hours to finish. EarthBound took me more than 60.
>>12699350Release order as always.There's nothing really unfair about Mother 1, it's just that a lot of people aren't familiar with older RPGs.Mother 1 is a 25 hour game more or less, and it's very much worth playing.2 and 3 are obviously better in gameplay but Mother 1 still has a special unique vibe.Come on anon it's just 3 games.
>>12699364>There's nothing really unfair about Mother 1, it's just that a lot of people aren't familiar with older RPGs.I don't have the biggest library of old RPGs under my belt, but I know enough about how they work. I don't have a big problem with long grinds or random encounters, so I might just start out with the first game and go from there.
>>12699367Grinding isn't really necessary but yeah there's random encounters.It works like Dragon Quest, where you keep your exp points and progress even if you die, the toll is just half your money and reviving your party members.But you can also save your money on the bank and don't risk any money too, so really there's very little punishment compared to most other RPGs of the era.Enjoy anon it's a masterpiece
>>12699317he's not a fetus
>>12697382/thread
>>12698728Oh pls I had to look again to be sure.Yes maybe it's a matter of opinion but it doesn't look offensively bad at all.
>>12699350>>12699367I played and beat Mother 1 when I was 12. Lots of Japanese kids did too. You can handle it.
>>12697381lmao no
>>12699936the design IS supposed to resemble one, what with the whole vat tube thing going on...
>>12698187y he no hatch?
>>12698785I fucking hate CogDis artists for popularizing making the ayys look like furry rats.
>>12697994>One guy does all those things, doesn't call himself a dev.>Modders change one easy thing and call themselves Devs.Yeah but like is this a real person or just someone they made up in their head?
>>12703220It also don't matter if Da Vinci himself said "I am not an artist."That fucker is an artist. And that dev is a dev.
