Correct. They only good thing about these was being able to platinum my favourite game of all time. Everything was mostly cheap looking, and sounding, bad character redesign choices. Having the original music on is kinda cool especially in the hub worlds. IIm talking about Spyro 2

In Spyro 3 there's a cute gag where a dragon baby called Ba'ah that's wearing a sheep costume when it hatches. Guess how they handle this in the remake

What modern game has soul?

On a boat wasn't it

Lack of soul isn't Reignited Trilogy's problem. Lack of new content is it's problem.

Not even the same game.

Nah, just destroying the original artstyle and vision of the original ones

got a lite. how's the switch version of this?

Undertale's the most soulful game of the last decade.

It's alright. A bit blurry on handheld. It looks fantastic for a Switch port. Overall it's pretty well-done.

Right? The devs sucked all the soul right out of it.

I was apprehensive at first due to some stuff (color palette changes, censorship, music changes, poo programmers, art style stuff I don't like etc.). But after playing it, its honestly the best example of a remaster I could think of. The biggest issue for me was the music and they included the option for both the original and the new tracks, which is perfect in my opinion. The game is just as fun for me as the originals (which I replay annually). For a Spyro fan like me, I'm just happy this game exists after accepting his death at the hands of Shitlanders

Attached: 1486057754896.png (332x398, 166K)

redpill me on this what is it

Am I the only one that feels like the art direction got lost on the remake? It's awesome to be able to play it on different platforms and at 60+ fps, but I honestly feel the somewhat eerie feeling the original gave off.

That's right on the spot, holy shit. Makes me mad we will never get an actual remaster.

It's because the artstyle is generic modern cartoony. Anything genuinely unique and mystical in the original that wasn't the most surface of surface level (and thus would stick out like a sore thumb) was 'replaced' with something that's easy for outsourced "talent" to generate and loosely shove together into Unreal, poorly.
See: Mystic clouds being turned into rocks, skyboxes becoming generic, and every character (sans spyro himself, along side some happy accidents) being redesigned into a shittier and more generic version of the same character, as a few examples.

Funnily enough, I think the remake does has soul, it's just a different one from the one the original had.

Can we go back please? I can't stand the retardation slowly seeping where it doesn't belong. Have it fester in its own little circles fine, but when it seems to worm its way into anything and everything, especially it has literally zero relevancy, that's when it starts to piss otherwise indifferent people off.

especially when it has literally zero relevancy

I genuinely like polygonal characters of early 3D. It has heart put into it. But the spyro remaster is very good for a remaster. It has more soul than crash's does

Now that fan edit is pure soul. It was so easy for them to not fuck it up.

Reminder that this was outsourced to pajeets.

Soul doesn't matter, it's the vore content that got ruined.

Soul vs souless

Attached: souless.jpg (1038x576, 89K)

Soul:
> Clearly made by a smaller number of passionate developers
> Often struggling against and sometimes being forced to give in to the limitations of their medium
> Superficially flawed in a way that shows the humanity behind its creation
> Larger errors feel more forgivable because soul gives the impression the creators were trying their best
> This doesn't mean everything is forgiven though
Soulless:
> Made by a larger number of people, a limited number of which passionate
> Technically still bound by limitations, but they're so large that they cannot be stretched to the limits with exacting precision or worked around cleverly
> Any superficial flaw is polished out by legions of artists and focus groups, if any discernibly human component is left afterward it's a small miracle
> With the sheer effort that went into sandblasting out everything that was unique and human about it, more major flaws/glitches feel extra insulting
There. It's not a fucking meme, though it's not something you want to let affect a game's objective quality too much.

>Getting rid of the spire flags
Christ what autism. Holy shit.

They look like shit though. And they added them everywhere, which makes them not stand out in the places that were actually supposed to have them.

Reminder that this version of the game only exists because the Crash remake made a lot of money, was made by the dev that done Spyro the dirtiest, and was a rush job that had to outsource work to a cheap Indian studio

That game has no more soul than an explodin' monkey

Soulless is when you focus on a game LOOKING good instead of FEELING good.
In OP's picture, the new has grass half a foot high, the hedge maze looks unkempt and the cliffs have a few trees placed, basically it looks like a Disney attractions.
Meanwhile the old has flattened grass with no flowers anywhere, the hedge maze is perfectly trimmed with an obvious design and there are 0 trees on that cliff, it looks plastic as fuck and the only way it can look like this is if MAGIC DRAGONS are keeping it that way.
As weird as it sounds, and only in this case, It's soulless because it's trying to look natural and it's soulful because it looks unnatural.
That and the fact that the developers wasted their time on unimportant and "real" designs instead of fun fantastical ones like:

Why didn't they just release a one to one port anyways? The new overpollished graphics doesn't mix well with the engine, fucking with the perspective, and therefore the controls. Everyone who know's it's an old game and want to play it again/for the first time are aware of the graphical limitations of the time and would be forgiving towards them. And anyone who doesn't know it's an old game are probably too young to care about graphical fidelity anyways. If they had just ported the originals, 1 to 1 everything, with the same advertising hype, chances are, it would have been just as successful, if not more.

It's not an argument at all. Most games I play are modern but I can still defend the old art

but they did make beast makers world much better than it was in the original.

it's even worse when you actually get to the world and there's HUGE frame drops on your entrance animation. you never really even get to see it properly because the game basically freezes and skips it.

They needed a way for people to distinguish between the original and the remake, so they intentionally put in subtle differences like that as a design choice.

In pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, there was a route that had soot precipitation (like grey snowfall) and unique grass tiles that changed from grey to normal green with a puff of dust when you ran through that tile
In the remake, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire they took out the sootfall and the unique grass tiles. These details were not replaced with anything, they were simply not present.

Gameplay's just as good as the original, I've told several anons this. The pillbox helps you since you can run off platforms and still jump, this makes up for the tighter jumps. It takes like 4 levels to get used to it.
The fucking game has MORE CONTENT than the originals. Lex Lang, playable Coco, time trials for 1 and 2, new fucking levels, 1's fixed save system, 1's bosses getting extra flair, the faithful designs. NST is one of the best remakes ever, it's faithful, it's soulful, and it builds off of the original games. Literally the definitive way to play Crash.

This looks like it was made with the fucking unity engine

Any mods that make it look like the fan edit yet? Most importantly, any fixed elora mods?

the fan edit uses a brighter palette with much less contrast in comparison to the remaster's harsh lighting. The remaster is ok but it's trying to look too realistic in a fantasy setting, which isn't bad, there's plenty of realistic imagery in fantasy if not most of the time, but spyro is just inspired by cartoony graphics that don't at all adhere to our reality so although the remaster had a lot of work and attention to detail, it misses what I like most about spyro which is soft colors, low contrast, brightness, and smooth, contoured world art

This is sad to look at

I'm more upset by the character designs desu. They had to keep the level geometry the same and for the most part kept the aesthetic the same, with a couple fuck ups. With the character designs there were a lot of cases where they weren't even going for the same thing. The gnorcs in particular got shafted, the only ones that are faithfully interpreted from the original are the ones from Beast Makers.

Attached: purple guy.png (1029x518, 640K)

This I think it's great but has a different vibe and aesthetic from the original in many major ways

As long as TFB doesn't shoehorn her in as Spyro's gf and have that be focused on in the story, I'm game. I wouldn't worry about that much anyways because they didn't do it in Skylanders. Hell, the two from Hero's Tail can come back as long as they're given actual personalities and aren't voiced by Tara Strong. If they incorporate co-op functionality it might be a fun way to mix up the formula a little without trying to change how the game is structured or change genres entirely. But this is all implying another game happens in the first place, one that doesn't end up being terrible because TFB doesn't know how to make levels and mechanics on their own and not just copy them.

Why is there a Chain Chomp in a Zelda game?

LA has a bunch of weird cameos, I'm pretty sure it was made by a separate team from the one that did the others up til that point. It all takes place in a dream world, that's as good an excuse as any for incorporating out-of-context characters and enemies.

here's my definition of soul
back when you were a kid, everything was simple and easy to understand, the controls weren't complex and the environments were pretty easy to navigate
but when you first look into the world as fantastic as spyro's you see something sprawling, endless, and filled with wonder
you don't know how far the boundaries go or what secrets the world holds, so despite the simplicity you still have a lot to take in
it's all new to you and you don't know how far your journey is going to go or how long its gonna take

now that the players are older and familiar with all the game's nooks and crannies and all the secrets therein, the games are just less exciting

anno 2070 was a masterpiece
sorry it was too hard for you, babby

I think part of the problem with Spyro is that the originals are such artistic and technical powerhouses for the era. A remake's never going to be able to recapture that perfectly.

"soul" is how feeler-type personalities aka brainlets try to say they like something but are too stupid and inarticulate to properly understand or explain why

>I'm just happy this game exists after accepting his death at the hands of Shitlanders
This, and on pc, who would have ever thought this 5 years ago

They gave him downs syndrome for no reason?

CTR rectified things somewhat with the model, but in NST he looks retarded 99% of the time because his face has no definition.

>what is lighting
I’ll give you you the head lights since that’s an emission material glitch.

no. being unable to admit that something is superior in every way to the original, just because it's not the one you grew up with, is what makes you a brainlet

certainly superior... in the time wasted on pointless stuff, lack of optimization, and amount of crunch that devs are subjected to, sure

The headlights are all I was showing

my only complaint with reignited is how difficult it is to see gems at a glance on account of the grass being so fucking high

other than that,i really enjoyed playing through it

I think I've identified what 'soul' is in these threads, it's when a game is fighting against limitations, and working with what it has instead of just being powerful enough to fill up the screen with as many details as it wants.

it's like the remasters of the original Star Wars movies in effect, right?

You should really stop using the pre-release screenshots as comparisons, they changed shit like the lighting and skybox after people bitched. That being said, I would genuinely prefer if the final game still looked like the in-progress version. I'd rather spend money to see a new interpretation of the old games than to see a half-assed approximation of them.

>to fill up the screen with as many details as it wants

Yes, this is the issue. Its crammed full of clutter for the sake of clutter.

There was an updated version but I can't find it since the archives fell through

>no game modes or settings, just one game that gets old quickly
>game made to cash in on Tennis For Two's popularity because the creators played TFT and saw that it could be big with more marketing so they created a soulless cashgrab approximation of it to market to people for money
Sounds about right

So you fags are sperging cuz of different light effects in the game?

who gives a shit about the fucking gems?

The vignette effect on your screen in modern games is pure aids.

Well you're retarded

Name 10 (TEN) instances of this.

soul v soulless has got to be the worst meme of all time

The difference between the two is that the upper picture is from a time when expectations of games were not standardized, and players could discover new things constantly. The bottom picture is from a time when every game follows expectations, and there is nothing new to learn.

are there really people on Yea Forums who buy remakes?

what's the right thing from

The original Spyro had really deep color theory shit that went into the environment design
Might help explain why it feels so comfy compared to the remake

Dragonball Super anime
The first few seasons were shit budget rehashes of the movie with terrible animation for people too dumb to just watch the movies instead

Dragon Ball

Looks like Resurrection F, could be Super

that artstyle of late PS1 games is the epitome of soulless and bottom pic looks better sorry

That's someone who just draws the same thing over and over again, not trying to learn anything new. They probably are convinced it's "just my style" and deflect or forbade any criticisms on their work. A lot of angsty teenage fucks are in love with the idea of being an artist, but they don't want to actually work at it. They only want to draw cool anime cyberpunk robot shit or furry porn and don't want to do "boring" anatomy studies, or still lifes to learn lighting, or anything else. You can see their mechanical control improved, but their foundations haven't changed one bit.

you have poor taste sorry

>soulless vs soul

Genuinely what is the issue with this? I mean I guess the grass plastered everywhere is annoying, but those buildings on the top look like total shit.

An actual remake would have been preferable, at least then they would have an excuse to fix stuff like the shitty boss battles and add hovering.

Based.

never played the original, but nowadays top has become the 'mobile unity asset flip' aesthetic so it doesn't look soulful at all to me.

The collection can be spotty in some places but is mostly superior. I prefer the sky boxes of the original in almost all cases though.

Played all 3 of the originals back in the day, recently watched the cutscenes from the new one and it seems ok. Unless they did something stupid with gameplay it looks like a good remake to me. This just seems like another case of you idiots overusing meme buzzwords to the point of being meaningless.

Ok, this one is pure bullshit.

Literally no one has ever praised spyro for its graphics or art style. Good thing the original game runs at silky smooth 19fps so your eyes can fill in the missing frames with SOUL.

Would've looked a lot better if they hadn't applied those fucking instagram filters all over. Somebody dug through the PC version and said there are 46 tinted levels, opposed to 55 non-tinted.

I'll explain why I think top looks better in my opinion.
>Original has a story book fantasy look. See the skybox for example.
>New game keeps the same color pallet, but makes it more orange and adds more noise to it (grass everywhere) and PBR lighting making it feel as if it's a darker or more desaturated image than the original. Not much of an attempt was made to make the scene brighter or more colorful with these issues. IMO, it could've looked better if the direct light was brighter to counter.
>Character design sensibilities in the new one feel like it was created to be a toy or kids meal rather than a character design. Original Spyro might look janky, but he doesn't straight up look like a Kids Meal toy down to the model and material. Original was closer to expressive and cartoony in comparison.

In my opinion soul vs soulless means whether or not the design philosophies paint an image that meshes well with you and gives off an obvious energy to it. Given that definition, the most soulless possible design is just maximum efficiency, bashing assets together with no real design. Basically ultra-focus-tested AAA and asset flips.

Seeing that one mega-sized purple gem that you found in the level appear on the transition screen was so satisfying

Don't reply to blatant shitposters.

>Missing charming powerup outlines
This was stupid and I'm glad they changed it

That's fine. It doesn't mesh well with me, tho. But to be fair I'm not a Spyro fan in the first place.
I guess there's also the post process that eats away from the color range a bit.
I'm not saying "it suck because it new graphics", you can totally bring an old game's look to modern standards (see Sonic 2 HD). I just feel as if it's going for the "new" Spyro look. The blocky toy look that might've started with Skylanders.

I don't mind the miniature world aesthetic. I think Blizzard does it better tho.

>b-but PS1 was my first system and it gives me warm fuzzy feelings to think about it !

I don't care. Old Spyro looks like SHIT

Why do people want remakes to be exactly the same? If you're doing something the second time, isn't it only natural to do some things differently?

>Why do people want remakes to be exactly the same?
Because they're retards. They could easily load up a ROM of the original Spyro or play their PS1 copies but instead they analyze the soul or lack thereof of a 20 something year old game for literal kids. Get a grip Yea Forums

From badass cybersamurai to gay twink cybersamurai

People don't want the exact same thing, people want the original aesthetic and atmosphere (and gameplay, obviously) transferred to a modern game. The fact no one shits on how Spyro looks, and actively celebrate how good Bianca looks in the remake shows that it's perfectly possible to make a game to that end, the devs were just a combination of incompetent, and the fact they straight up didn't have enough time to do it properly even if they were.

>reverse image search
Most troubling.

>Does so myself
Hardly surprised. At least as drawn, and conceptually, the two properties are pretty aesthetically compatible with each other, if it wern't guaranteed to be shit due to autism, and if I had any positive feelings to the other franchise, I'd like to see what a well thought out crossover might look like.

Sorry bud, All Stars is old enough to be full of soul now.

Spyro is the reason I ever got into that shit in the first place. I always appreciated that cartoon medieval fantasy aesthetic, and in the earlier seasons even the character designs were pretty close, at least to the original titles on PSX.

Activision is going to run these boys into the ground soon enough. People eat this shit up right now, but the honeymoon will wear off eventually.

Jesus christ I was waiting for this ever since the trilogy was announced. Someone at TfB clearly had a little too much fun fucking with Post Processing volumes. (Same goes for N.Sane Trilogy)
The underwater areas still look a little eerie because the original used vertex coloring on the environmental textures to give the illusion of being underwater, while not overpowering the whole image. The the mod it kind of looks like the glitch from Enter the Dragonfly where you can swim mid-air.
Still great to have the mod around though.

>not editing the swastika to be dicks

>tfw enjoyed playing both the original back in the day and the remake
But that’s because I don’t care about skybox colours.
