C2B Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I can literally count the pixels that make up Sabin's face. And you'd be easily forgiven for not realizing that Kefka is still wearing his makeup, since the number of pixels that comprises that detail could be counted without taking off your shoes. Kefka's also the only one to have a nose. Not the kind of detail I meant. Well, I back off though. Not worth the hassle (for both of us).

greylord Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 a FF6 remake should be done by only upgrading the art ala the remake/HD update of monkey island. let it be done so you can switch back and forth between the artwork with the press of a button. same should be done for the FF7 remake if they ever do one I'd absolutely love an FFVI remake, though I'd want it more in the style that they remade #3 and #4...or as you say, if they just redid the graphics but left eh erst of the game...it would be great. Interesting idea, letting you switch between the different graphics...that could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogun01 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 i dont see why they couldnt do a closer job replicating the amano artwork, the game could look breathtaking if they went a heavily stylized (cell shaded?) look I don't know. Why so many of these movie remakes with better definition fall lower than the original? Some things don't go well with new technology. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorophx Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 save for instances where the original Director remakes his own movie (M.Mann's The Heat is a perfect example of this), every remake will be different, because it's very hard to replicate the actors' work and the direction without missing something, and sometimes these missing pieces are essential. games work a bit differently, as far as I understand.

Theres instances like that in gaming too. 2D Artwork -> 3d Models. Written Text -> Voice Acting (Also in film a frequent problem with book adaptions) and so on.

sorophx Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) I'll agree with VA being essential in such a case. rare actor can sound the same or better than a character does in your head. I can't agree with the graphics argument though. Monkey Island games come to mind. or Fallout Edited September 20, 2011 by sorophx Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

A word spoken differently to its description and context in the written text, can shake its entire meaning. And in both those cases the transition gave different results. Good ones, but different from its 2D original instead of trying to do it accuratly. (May have much to do with different artists there though too.

Edit: Apparently it's Crytek UK (formely Free Radical Design) that is working on the sequel. Click That's a bit of a letdown, I thought they were working on Timesplitters 4. On certain levels Homefront was okay. But it was disapointing in that it was a very short "shooter on rails" approach. The backstory was interesting, they had some very nice things in the background to push emotional buttons. But the gameplay for the single-player campaign was bog standard follow the line and shoot things as they pop up. That and it basically ends on a cliffhanger after about 5 hours of play.

C2B Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Backstory and Story itself was horribly stupid. But to know that you just have to check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTdXJVbIvy0 Its basically just another dream american invasion fantasy. Theres more emphasis on it, though. Apart from that the whole thing is quite mediocre. Edited September 20, 2011 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at one point of the game the game engine just can't handle it and you will never be able to finish the game. Nice. (Crysis was pretty generic when it comes to shooters....)

Apart from that the whole thing is quite mediocre. Americans sure like invasions and war settings. Personally, I hope Crytek will rather make a spiritual successor with the Homefront name on the box only, or at least try to differentiate themselves from the predecessor. Because let's be clear, I think HF1 was a one-trick-pony, I don't think they can build up on that alone 'cause quite frankly the game got horrible press scores, and I think most of the buyers might agree. If THQ is smart, they let Crytek do their own thing. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greylord Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Blizzard wants you to play Diablo 3 with a Gamepad if they think they had a bad response from PC gamers with their always online DRM...err...I mean game security... They'll have an even worse response from Console gamers. Many Console gamers will play online...but single player without having to authenticate online or be online simply to play is one BIG reason many console gamers play in the first place. NO MMO (or MMORPG type game since Diablo 3 doesn't want to admit to the MMO line) has ever really done that well on a Console...at least yet. MP games do great on the otherhand, but most have at least a short SP game that's independant of being online...and don't include paid for transactions (AH/RMT) officially unless it's for DLC. Heck, I'm one of those chased off PC for the Console games due to the DRM stuff...they think they'll attract us to play it on Console if they have their always online DRM they're dreaming (I'd rather play it on PC instead...in fact I'll get one copy to play on PC...no way I'd get something with always online DRM for my console).
