They didn't
You lost your own or can't see it anymore due to how jaded you are

I love the remake for the most part and consider it superior to the original in just about every way.

The only thing I miss is the harsh shadows that they really should've kept. I mean you'd have to be tone-deaf to not hear the complaints about the Ganon fight in OoT 3D.

Somewhere when 3D started to being used instead 2D.

I hate this shit too But the real reason was to show more that majora was infecting these supposed guardians

This remake fucked up boss battles and fucked up lightning(also a problem in OOT remake) otherwise it could have been perfect.

You know what fucks me the most about these remakes? Is that a lot of the time i see many cases of "if it' ain't broke, don't fix it"

It struck me hard with Majora's Mask 3D, the boss battles were fine, the game looked fine, instead of enhancing the actual look of the game they have this necesity of changing things for the sake of changing them. I feel like Majora's Mask could've looked a lot better and played a lot better if they touched less things than they did

You tell me

Mario got ruined after Galaxy, prove me wrong, yes galaxy is shit too.

I honestly don't get how people appreciate LTTP's artstyle. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is a fucking 10/10, everything looks great in motion, and a lot of their conceptual shit like the light/dark world differences were fucking top tier. But the art itself is extremely low quality for the generation; its like a barely elevated NES pixel style with the only real difference being more colors in the palette. I tend to find that the only people who like this shit are people who can't actually name another 16 bit game, because they think that LTTP is the only game in the generation or some shit.

What are you implying?

Pretty much. Look at Kirby’s adventure. The nes library had a lot of simple games (both in artstlyle and gameplay) but the amount of polish makes it look like an early snes game at times. Even with the most shittiest brush an artist can find a way to make it look beautiful.

That's Sôypoly

To be honest, what i understand of "soul" is all about what makes great a game in presentation aspect. This is not about nostalgia, this about the unique and special feeling that a game can reflect on the experience. The aesthetic, soundtrack, the art style, cinematic and level direction, the sensation of remember everything about the game due to his own charm, nature or personality, etc.

For example: Generally some of the modern developers goes more about realism on his looks, for more graphics advances, with more detail. But always, a general unique feeling of a unique art style can thick on a player, and would never gets old, that also come with a great atmosphere (Looks at Mario Galaxy for example)

I don't know, but i kinda get this about the "soul" thing unironically

The real answer is nintendo just wanted to dumb down the fights so they added a mechanic that makes the boss just fucking sit there unable to fight back.

>Rising development costs and scale of projects have killed soul.

this is such a bullshit claim because video game companies are making more money than ever before even fucking indie developers can make a living making video games. these video game companies have the most resources out of anybody so why don't they use it for creativity and risks like they did in the 80-90s?

i'd say it's because of capitalism's tendency to kill creativity and reduce art into the most formulaic and low common denominator shit. video games were better when you were young because the video game market wasn't established back then. developers had the permission to try new things to see where the market would lead them to profits. capitalism literally destroys the soul

Is there anything more pathetic than being a Nintendobab? Even the slightest criticism will get you called a member of a variety of "opposing camps" because obviously no one could have a problem with a Nintendo game without being a blind fanboy for another company, projecting at its finest. The point isn't that Spyro looks good, it's that Mario 64 looks like shit, there are non-Sony and non-Sypro games from the same era which are more soulful and better looking than anything Nintendo shat out during the 64 era.

Mario 64 and Spyro are subject to the console circumstances I described in my post, EVERY N64 game is blurry filtered, very few if any PS1 games are. When low poly is talked about as an aesthetic, the only reference people use are the PS1 and the NDS, the N64 looked embarrassing even at the time.

Soul is a handy buzzword for retards who lack the brainpower necessary to articulate why a game's aesthetics appeal to them.

Attached: 1487637122769.jpg (860x642, 67K)

It's a shorthand way of saying "Game made for enjoyment or fun" vs "Game made just for money".
New games can still have soul but its much more rare as video games in the past decade have turned into a business.
Most older games weren't made so the company could make literal millions, they were made because someone had an idea they were passionate about.
Now a days you have shit like EA who systematically design games to make the most money as possible, entertainment is just a vector in that strategy instead of the goal.

Soul is basically if a thing has some clear artistic vision behind it. Souless is designed by committee to try not be provoking or challenging. Most of it is just meming but I agree with it in some cases.

Soul is the passion/love put into a game

So let me get this straight:

Soul = Game made with love, passion and effort purely for the intent of bringing to life an idea that a creator(s) is very much passionate about. Can be seen in the graphics/settings immaculate detail and polish.

Soulless = Game made purely for profit to appease business stakeholders and other rich investors. Idea for game born out of cashing in on something already successful. Graphics are very basic and generic. Setting is lazy and uninspired.

>overdoing things unnecesarily
I think that's kind of inevitable when remaking a classic game, though. The original graphics were built around the limitations of the system they were on, in formats that no one uses anymore, so most likely someone's going to have to remake them from scratch. And when you're doing that, it takes a very dedicated person to copy the old graphical style exactly. Even if you don't intend to change anything, it's easy to make changes.
Which is to say that you should stop buying remakes of old games you think were perfect.

Jesus, what the fuck is this supposed to mean?

The pirate bay

But it doesn't look good according to this guy

>or do i have to get the console to be a patrician?
Literally the only way you need a crt as well. Part of the soul effect comes from scan lines and the click of putting a disc or cart in

bad AAA/bad indie vs good AAA/good indie

Good thing your opinion doesn't factor into it

examples?

>Crysis 1, Prey (1), Stalker series, Hawken
Funny because these are soulless.

2>3>1 as far as art direction is concerned

>the moon
>that nose
I know who did this

Literally any PS1 game looks eons better than the best looking first party N64 games.

about as much as your opinion

Good thing it's a universally accepted fact then

It looks good because its zoomed out to where you cant see all the muddy artifacted textures

>so they added a mechanic that makes the boss just fucking sit there unable to fight back.
Except they had that powerless state in the originals the only difference is that you could hit them anywhere.

No it's the N64 textures that are muddy, PS1 textures aren't filtered

i was under the impression pcs don't emulate console games perfectly and have numerous glitches and errors

A cluster of opinions doesn't mean it's a fact.

Don't remind me what they did to my pink puffball

you're spouting an opinion just as much as everyone else in this thread. Acclaim is based on the opinion of "respected" people. Posting a chart made by a small group of people in a thread on Yea Forums isn't objective. Just like the acclaim of people whose job it is to criticize things is also, subjective

Then you should be able to provide proof.

the duration is greatly extended. you can kill a boss in one turn now with enough strikes.

Depends on the system and game.
NES and SNES is flawless, beyond that era however you're going to get problems.

It was composed by a real acclaimed composer and not a "video game musician"

>you can kill a boss in one turn now with enough strikes.
Which you could do in the original.

N64 textures worked that way because they were way smaller than PS1 ones thanks to space limitations.
Remember it was 32-64MB vs 700MB.

When they went with ‘muh realism’ give me stylised graphics over realism any day of the week.

use the actual resolution of around 240 you zoomer

so how does that make it objectively good

galaxy looks like trash

I don't know, the user I was arguing with was the first one to imply authority = correct, ask him

They actually made the graphics better?

FUCK NUSONIC

>top image looks like it's lit by halogen lights
>so blocky it might actually be modded Minecraft
>some of the textures come from actual photos so the direction of light makes no sense
>but it's 1998 so that's pretty much what you'd expect

>bottom image looks like it's lit by a photoshop filter
>also the artist has no understanding of architecture
>roof doesn't fit the Gothic style
>half the buttresses don't seem to support anything
>cathedral actually appears to be made of brick cladding over a wooden frame instead of cut stone blocks
>asymmetric wooden extensions for some ungodly reason
>but it's 2014 so that's pretty much what you'd expect

so fuck do you mean by soul if it's not aesthetics?

>tfw capitalism killed all the soul so we only get one every decade now like bloodborne

my god i was born just in time how do zoomers cope with it?

I think everyone has done a 3 heart playthrough of minish cap by now. Truly the best way to experience the game

Exactly. its not dark soul. Its blood borne.

test

Except odolwa never did that shit you fucking liar. There isn't a single item in the n64 version that just makes him lay on the floor.

The second isn't just soulless, it's bad art.
Look at the fucking cloak, it was just traced from the second without any thought of how it'd look on the new body shape, and the shading n it makes it look completely flat too.

what are you testing user

Conker's Bad Fur Day is the best looking game of the era, if the N64 used the shortcuts the psx used it would have been able to render games 7x more complex than what the psx was capable of

>tfw will never get a translation patch for racing rpg
at least megami tensei 2 got translated, now to hope the og devil summoner get transalated too

made /pol/ post questioning the jew meme and it 404ecd

the 360 generation
that's when game development costs really started ballooning

Odowla can literally kill himself by dancing in his own flames. He doesn't need a downed state.

>Observatory is relaxing in the original, like a place out of a dream that you'd want to hang around at and relax
>Music adds to this
>Observatory is cold and mechanical in the remake, you wouldn't want to stick around there

How did they fuck up so badly?

2009

What was the last "real" era with soul here?

I'm normally okay with HD remakes and buy them over the originals all the time. But something about OoT and MM didn't sell me. And I have a pet peve about owning 2 copies of the same game.

MAybe if they get re-released on switch or something, but 3DS was a horrible choice to remake two of the greatest games ever made on.

2001-2005
We got melee, symphonia, great PS2/GC/Xbox titles. Anything after was pretty much sub-par.

The one i like more

Into the thrash it goes

This user gets it.

No? Physics are fucked on SMB3 too, and this is coming from an all-star baby who played the NES version way later. NES SMB3 controls way better compared to all-stars.

God damn I don't remember minish cap being so fucking pretty.

Is the ceiling covered in LEDs on the left?
Where is all the white light coming from?

Korok seeds but stars and non-existent platforming. Great game you have there.

Minish Cap was a fucking gem specially because it was made when 2D pixel art had already been fully mastered.
I would kill for another game with this type of style and the only thing that could ever satisfy me has been canned forever because it was a gan project too good to be true.
I should learn some game editing tool and remake LA and the Oracles in this style. It's such a waste not to use it again and it's so much better than many of the 3D games we've had across all platforms.

What do you think about Links Awakening remake style?

It looks like something a student would make their senior year in university.

I don't usually judge before I get to play things myself. I do believe it is a step in the right direction in comparison to what they did in ALBW. I think ALBW is not without it's merits but I found it lacking in some aspects since it was trying to mimic a style that maybe didn't work as well as it could in 3D (that one being ALttP). In LA I think they are taking more risks with the style and trying to find a middle ground between it and the old game, specially since they are also trying to mimic the graphics and the art. I found it a weird mix at first, but I will have to play it to judge it better.

MC style is a very detailed one. If it was used in LA, like I suggested before, I think it could even change the tone of the overall game, but that's also something I would have to try first.
