Theres nothing worse than your favorite, classic, childhood game becoming cursed with a remake for modern audiences, that subverts or destroys everything good about it.

>>718384365 (OP)
I know that feeling...

>booh my game has better graphics now
grow up millennial

I hate demakes so much especially when this shithole and redditors defend them.

I'm gonna say, the Spyro Remakes look good, like, on their own they look pretty well made, they just weren't able to replicate the same atmosphere and style of the PS1 games but as their separate entities they're pretty nice.
The Crash Remakes look like fucking dogshit.

the worlds just look soulless and lifeless, but I think maybe it's just not possible to capture ps1 worlds with more modern graphics, the layer of abstraction gets reduced and as a result the seams become much more apparent.

Reignited Spyro 3 is better, entirely because Agent 9 isn't total fucking AIDS to play as.
NST Crash 3 is also preferable because it lets me play Future Tense instead of Hot Coco for the true ending.
Crash 1 & 2 getting free time trials and Stormy Ascent make them valid too, that and I can actually save the game whenever I want to.
Playable Coco is a free bonus.

The more I think about it the more I see how impossible might be to recapture that same style with modern graphics, everything would just look too good to make it look "good" with the polygonal and angular style that Spyro had back then, as a standalone game the Reignited Trilogy is pretty competent, but it's just not the Original Trilogy and it was never going to be the Original Trilogy

Angela... lay off the health drinks.

I liked the Reignited Trilogy. Yes, a few changes looked off, but they retained a lot of what made the originals good in the first place.

The worst one I've seen was Abes Oddysee to New N Tasty, worse still people defending it

>>718385689

I think it can be done but I agree it would look weird. I can see a painterly style working well with the terrain and skyboxes with drwn models for a storybook feeling. Kind of like Valkyria Chronicles but without the anime influence.

The infuriating thing for me was the visual styling for 50 dragons or so was great, but then they cheaped out and used like 4 California voice actors for all of them and it was delivered completely flat. The original compressed audio actually sounds better.

>>718384365 (OP)
why are you comparing box art to an in game screenshot of another game? whats the message here?

>>718387210
Oh yeah I don't doubt it could be done with a completely different artstyle but it would probably still be extremely hard and you're absolutely not going to see Activision put that much effort on something like that, especially after the developers of the remakes had to recreate all the maps from zero due to the original code being lost or something like that.

Basically what I'm saying is that I don't think the developers did a bad job, on the contrary, they probably did put a lot of effort in it, it's just not the Original Trilogy.

As a kid I always thought the "D" in "Dragon" was too rounded and looked like an "O." I still can't unsee it. Year of the Oragon.

Remember when one of the TfB devs said that PS1 and Atari graphics are indistinguishable or when they retweeted an I AM SILLY tier comic about it

>doing some schizo movement to specifically get the desired results that a regular player isn't going to see or notice in regular gameplay
PCancers are so embarassing

>>718387329
You desperately need to pay more attention in school.

Just play the originals then?

>>718387210
>they cheaped out and used like 4 California voice actors for all of them and it was delivered completely flat
This is the real problem. Artfags can argue all they want about “artstyle” being “ruined” but that’s so subjective, the VA is a different situation altogether.

sane people have no idea what youre trying to say.

>Theres hekin nothing worserinoo than your hekin, classic, childhoodirinoo gameorino becoming cursed with a remake for modern audiences, that subverts or destroys everything good about it. (They changed the color of a pixel on level 2322 from brown to slightly red).
When you actually finally grow up and get a job, you will realize none of this babby shit matters at the end of the day. Besides you can just emulate the older ones anyway.

>>718387770
Why do these “people” use excuses for their mediocrity? They always claim its impossible to recreate the old looks and techniques or that we should be grateful its modernized.

>Peaking around a corner is "schizo movement" that regular players in a shooter aren't ever going to do.
Retard, go renew your good goy subscription now so you can play online.

jesus

>>718384365 (OP)
right is objevtively better

>>718390531
Yeah "objectively". And funnily enough somehow both have worse in-game animations than the originals.

>>718384365 (OP)
Look I hate remakes as much as the next guy but these don't really destroy everything that was good about the originals unless the only thing you do is look at them.
Functionally they still play the same and that's really the main draw of these games, not the graphics.
At most they destroy the visual identity of the original and give you a somewhat worse experience, but it's still a good time underneath the garish aesthetic.

>spyro remakes look good
>crash remakes don't

>NO NO NOOOOO WHY DOES A PS4 GAME LOOK DIFFERENT THAN A PS1 GAME? AAAAAAAAAAA SOULLESS SOULLESS
