Should game franchises be allowed to switch developers?

no.

make your own franchise or get the fuck out

Nobody is saying they are worse games, I'm dating that they have less soul. Learn the difference

>Has never felt the sublime feeling of roll jumping midair

Get back to your souless platformers, scum.

>soul
Soul is irrelevant and nothing but a meme buzzword retards spout because they have nothing actually substantial to say.

>less soul
So...you're saying nothing?

Halo 2 remaster genuinely has soul though, and looks especially amazing on bonex. MCC on pc is one of my most hyped games in a long time and I'm going to upgrade my pc for it

I've played both the old trilogy and the new games and I genuinely don't understand why the new games are so well liked, they're garbage

In fact there hasn't been a single good 2D platformer released by a non-indie studio since the fucking 5th gen, prove me wrong you garbage-taste subhumans

>prove me wrong
you mean
>post a game so I can go nuh-uh and then bring up an older game that while good, is only going to be used to make the fans of it look bad as I act like a sperg

In most cases new devs results in trash, but there are examples of new devs making games on par with what the original devs made, and example being gears of war 4. Metal gear rising is also a good example - it's different from other metal gear games but great nonetheless

I think franchises should be allowed new devs but only under certain conditions - for example it would be retarded to let naughty dog make a gta game

>I've played both the old trilogy and the new games and I genuinely don't understand why the new games are so well liked, they're garbage

It's the same people who think botw is the best Zelda ever.

Rayman Legends.

Do soulful modern games exist?

No, because soul is code for nostalgia.

My dad bought it for my 10th birthday after I looked forward to it for months = soul
I bought it with my own money as an adult = soulless

What if I pirated it as a 15 year old?

Yes.
May you attain enlightenment.

How do you pirate a modern game as a 15 year old?

A game has soul if you were a child when you played it. The actual quality of the game does not matter.
You can say Fortnite has soul if you're eight. And nobody can say it's soulless.

Crash CTmRe

What the fuck are you on about? I didn't play DKC as a kid and I think they have tons of soul compared to the new ones.

If you’re going to do comparisons, at least compare similar levels.

You're using it wrong. That's okay, though. You'll learn the longer you stay here.

Okay, but how do you post on Yea Forums about it?

Keep in mind that the minimum age to post here is 25.

What does this even mean? How do they have less soul lmao

If you must know a game with soul was created passionately with loving hands. The art stile is very good and very detailed. The developers created their own assets from scratch and built everything from the ground up.

Souless are CGI rendered graphics from asset flips that are edited to look new. Sure it can look great and all but there was no love behind it.

So, you equate soul to asset flipping to save development time? You do realize a lot of games do this right, games many consider classics.
Hell I'd say the new DMC was made with some passion and love, but half the shit in the game is reused stuff from Resident Evil 2 because of the nature of how their engine works. I don't claim to know a lot about DK Tropical Freeze but to say it wasn't made with any love because it uses CGI graphics and has asset flips seems.. idk arbitrary

If you still can't understand, there's no helping you

I can think of several neglected Sony owned franchises that Nintendo would jump at the chance to have.

>t half the shit in the game is reused stuff from Resident Evil 2
You really are quite dumb if you don't know the difference between assets and engines

Only played tropical freeze but it had plenty of fuckin soul.

Okay sorry, forgot I was talking to idiots online.
The engine has everything from objects, clothing, and characters (which are assets) scanned into the game manually via 3D photoshoots. This isn't a cheap or quick process, so when future games use this engine Capcom will reuse those previously scanned in objects all over the place. How about you try reading before responding?

Putting them side by side like this makes you realize that a big part of soul is the use of secondary colors.

pre-rendered 2d is the most ludo graphics style in literally every single game, don't fucking (you) me or debate me on this

Yes and those scanned assets aren't used in dmc. I haven't seen Claire's face in the game yet

Factorio

So because a characters face isn't reused it's different for you?
You can literally compare objects in the environment side by side, they are the same assets. Cars, tables, etc.

Don't mistake me, I love DMC and RE2. I think they have plenty of soul. These are just examples of a game reusing assets to save time and money. And it doesn't take away from them one bit.
We can talk about gameplay and artstyle all day, but saying that reusing assets is what makes a game "lose its soul" is the most retarded statement I've seen on Yea Forums in a long.

I blame Spyro for making SOUL vs SOULLESS posting as rampant as it is. It existed for DK before but spyro autists took it to a whole new level.

god you're an idiot lmao eat a dick and stop typing about games before you keep embarrassing yourself

fullbright lightning: soulless
dark as fuck, with some occasional light accents: soul

a simple truth. not even trying to sound snarky.

Returns and Tropical Freeze are both masterpieces and better games than Rares trilogy you deranged nostalgiafag.

2 is overrated. 3 was always the better game. Returns is better than Tropical Freeze too.

Calling TF soulless is being retarded for attention
