Attn @Father.Torque please pass judgment as resident full throttle expert

(Looks good to me! I wonder how they did it.)

The original game’s style was already very close to vector art. I assume it would be easy to just recreate the original lines than having to paint over everything with new art, like the MI SEs did.

Smells like an upscaling algorithm to me. You can get really good results out of those nowadays, with an artist to go through and touch up where the algorithm was wrong.

You want to pay the most attention to how it handles scenes with a lot of colors, like the intro part where you see the area around the bar. Feels less vectory and more like someone took a garbage filter like 2xSaI to it, with lines that are very stairsteppy and irregular.

The actual character art looks great because it’s a lot simpler.

Oh yuck.

They moved the rock when redrawing the background for widescreen, but didn’t fix the sign. The MIs had a few bits like that, but not on the first screen in the game, at least.

marvel vs. capcom 4 goes back to 2 vs 2 since we all know how beloved the original game’s gambit infinites and tatsunoko’s lost planet robot are. oh shit ace combat 7!

There is no irony in Knack 2 hype

do people not believe in trailers with the corny nerds in the crowds muted anymore

Windjammers, a Wipeout collection, remastered Full Throttle. I can’t believe I feel excited about a bunch of ports. And in the meantime I’m having so much fun playing a Pokemon game. When did I become a gamer again?

The creator of Katamari is beside himself in joy. Or anguish. One of the two.
