Superstar Saga has more soul than the remake since it features all the cameos

SSS is also particularly full of soul since everything in the game is so off-model. It's a real one-of-a-kind Nintendo game

I think it's real but it's difficult to put into words that aren't overly simplistic meme buzzwords like how "soul" and "soulless" are used. The point is that you're looking at a piece of artwork, and artwork is a product of culture. Culture drives underlying design patterns, principles, and methodologies used to create the piece of artwork. When a game has a clearly defined target audience, it's going to stringently adhere to its culture because that is the root appeal of any piece of artwork - that it's an extension of a particular culture. The "soulless" factor comes into play when a piece of art is designed with no target audience or culture in mind in order to be as inoffensive, un-intimidating, and globally appealing as possible. The artist responsible for creating whatever it was did so not with the intent to put a part of himself into the artwork but instead to produce a "one size fits all" production that anybody from anywhere and any culture can find agreeable. This creates blandness and mediocrity because it's trying to please a billion different people but nobody in particular.

>models look like shit and nothing like they are supposed to

>Newer game fixes this

>REEEEEEEEEE SOULLESS

Why do retards think like this

>Soul = Original concept
>Soulless = Something that tries to capture the same feeling as the original, only with modern technology and towards a wider audience
Basically, any sequel or remake

If you really can't tell then you havent played much video games. The more a game is purely for profit 1000% above all else the less effort you will feel from the game series or genre or franchise.

Also the music composers or artists got worse as time went on.

It's real, just look at nu-Pokemon
