the concept was good, the execution was mid 2000s shit
i was giggling too much to notice if it was.
yeah put me in the camp of not caring how dumb anything in FF7r was. iād rather see where they go with it than try to cling to the memory of being 15, again (which the remake allows for, but in a way that didnāt feel cloying, to me).
i donāt like playing games on my phone, though. oh well
Iāve made it just as far in the remake story as i did in the original game, so the rest is gonna be real fun.
is itā¦can it beā¦the first real pokemon video game?
I feel like the PokƩmon Arceus game is exactly what I wanted circa 2000
Def interested
Feel like Iād be 3x more interested if it was an ARPG
Theyāre also remaking Diamond and Pearl
Making it completely 3d yet fervently keeping accurate to the original tileset kind of makes me question the point though? I mean, look at these cliffs
I donātā¦ think anyone would have minded if you just made it a diagonal line? Was honestly surprised there was even diagonal movement.
This will be the first mainline/remake of a mainline PokĆ©mon game not actually developed be developed by Game Freak themselves (theyāre busy with the Arceus Legends one). Wonder if the slavish accuracy to the originals is just the new devs (ILCA, Inc who have done support work on a large number of big Japanese games have never been the main devs of any project) being afraid of fan backlash by changing too much.
I donāt think the camera position is as important to people as whether or not this adheres to post-Sun and Moon design philosophy. I donāt really pay attention to any of the fandom though so what do I know.
itās good they put circle strafing in pokemon though
i expect that they wonāt be able to get out of their own way and that my hype for the ~30 seconds of actual footage today will be for naught
but i definitely thought that about botw until literally the day it showed up at my home so who knows
ASTRONAUT, AT THE MAJESTY OF EARTH: Itās still 2020?
ASTRONAUT II, BRANDISHING PISTOL: Always has been
weirdly feel like this means itās going to age well for a specific demographic
I knew a guy whose favorite movie was Advent Children as of 2011
mid 2000s cringe is having a moment right now, for better or for worse. though I doubt nomura and company were considering that
lol
fuckāem!! lol
thatās the world Iād like to live in but Iām afraid itās not true, as Sony found out in 2014. The ratioās more like 1:200 and youāre buying b-content just like Netflix stocking its shelves
yeah itās clear they backed down from that business model but it still seemed to seed a lot more interesting work at the time!
whither the mid-tier, etc
it hurts
the other lesson is to not hire Phil Harrrison
