yeah put me in the camp of not caring how dumb anything in FF7r was. iā€™d 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 didnā€™t feel cloying, to me).

i donā€™t like playing games on my phone, though. oh well

Iā€™ve 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 Iā€™d be 3x more interested if it was an ARPG

Theyā€™re 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 donā€™tā€¦ 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 (theyā€™re 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 donā€™t think the camera position is as important to people as whether or not this adheres to post-Sun and Moon design philosophy. I donā€™t really pay attention to any of the fandom though so what do I know.

i expect that they wonā€™t 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

mid 2000s cringe is having a moment right now, for better or for worse. though I doubt nomura and company were considering that

thatā€™s the world Iā€™d like to live in but Iā€™m afraid itā€™s not true, as Sony found out in 2014. The ratioā€™s more like 1:200 and youā€™re buying b-content just like Netflix stocking its shelves

yeah itā€™s 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
