How much would you pay for them?

Would you pay full $60/70 for the same old story even if it's with these visuals?

I personally love this style, and I think this is how literal remakes should be done from now on. I'm fine with "successors" as in the legends series

More on this concept

>>58591763 (OP)
With that style? I wouldn't even pirate it.

>>58591763 (OP)
YAAAAAAS GIVE ME ANOTHER KANTO REMAKE YAAAAAASS FUCK YAAAAAAASSSS

I rather just have 3D on the same level as LGPE's contemporaries like Zelda BotW

>>58591763 (OP)
I always dreamed of a kanto remake but with 3D graphics, kinda like an AAA game but I know we will never get it

>>58591763 (OP)
I wouldn't play that blurry mess even if you paid me to

>>58591763 (OP)
I love this style. I love the octopath series and plan on buying the 0 game coming out this winter. Its gotten so much hate in recent years due to people parroting around the style but I do geniunely love it and I would love to see pokemon remade in this style. Like if pokemon japan seed was in this style I would buy it in a heartbeat.

>>58591763 (OP)
If it was dome in the style of Dragon Quest which outright improved many maps and even then.
What I really want out of yet another Kanto game is for Kanto to feel like actual fucking Kanto, Japan.

>>58591763 (OP)
>>58591773
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH! MY EYES!! MY FUCKING EYES!! IT BURNS!!

I would buy them for sure

>>58591769
the goldenrod city redraw is the only thing on top that's even remotely tolerable

aaaaaand my personal favorite

>>58591763 (OP)
HIdeous.

>>58591770
^^^^

>>58591763 (OP)
You would have to pay me to play anything from KANTOOOOOO

Less like most of them (Octopath and Live a Live look like ass), more like Dragon Quest (as Hori pointed out the above games kind of looked like ass so the visual effects are significantly toned down), or preferably actual classic 2D sprite with 3D map games like Xenogears or the DS Pokemon titles (which after DP generally looked pretty good). Hell, putting out a plain port of HGSS for 70 bucks is probably both a better deal than most Pokemon games on the Switch (2), looks better than several of the games, and is probably cheaper than getting it second hand.

I agree. Nobody, except maybe a couple of radical genwunners, would be bothered if a remake wasn't an exact copy of the original. In the case of Kanto, many cities and towns could be updated.

>>58591763 (OP)
If it was a new generation game in 2.5D with multiple regions yeah I’d pay 60 or 70 for it

>>58591842
>Hori complained about DEI, complained about HD2D being just fancy shaders and had them better up the spritework, held Dragon Quest to its classic charm even when everyone was pushing them towards "modernization"
Its going to be a dark day when he finally joins the other two.

>>58591763 (OP)
This looks like ass. I can't imagine having poor eyesight that mistakes this for looking good. It's the same ugly shit as Octopath and other similar 2.5d games. Pick one style and commit to it; either go shitass 3D like modern Pokemon or 2D like legacy Pokemon. Hell, at least make the 3D parts look like they match the 2D assets. People shittalk Palworld for the mixed up asset quality between goofy lovable monsters and Unity asset flip environments, but at least it's 3D on 3D. This 2.5D stuff is nothing more than an eyesore. I'll take a low quality edgy FR/LG romhack over this.

It is so mind boggling they haven't done another Kanto game. I know, I know, Let's Go exists - but an actual, fleshed out game set in that world with a fucking Charizard on the cover would sell a truckload.

Only if they finally fucking make a game where you can walk from Hoenn to Sinnoh on a map that's very explicitly Japan.

>>58591792
>>58591848
If seed is a thing, im sure they'll flesh out kanto to actually be kanto. The other regions too. Geniunely seed would work beautifully in this style

They should actually remake and modernize the region when they do these "remakes" but I know why they don't.

>>58591842
Exactly as I was gunning for myself. If you're gonna HD-2D a Pokémon game, you gotta have fucking colour, especially if you're remaking one of the first five generations as many are predicting (and begging) for Unova. Hell, mix the non-sprite overworked with minor extremely oversized/overdetailed sprites for buildings and such if you wanna embrace the concept at its highest potential.
>>58591874
Yep. I'm just hoping we get HD-2D Zenithian Trilogy and VIII/IX Reimagined before the poor guy kicks the bucket. Given the tease for the former and the fact that VII Reimagined is even a thing, I have faith they'll pull it off within the decade, hopefully 5-6 years given the progress of I&II (maybe longer for the Reimagined games)

>>58591769
both suck

>>58591763 (OP)
kill yourself

>>58592018
Mix of nostalgia (can’t change things too much or the manchildren might seethe, see ORAS Mauville) and laziness.

>>58591763 (OP)
HD2D looks like complete fucking shit already, so just imagine how bad Game Freak's attempt at it would be.

>>58591763 (OP)
I haven't paid for a Pokemon game since XY, so 0

>>58592197
edgy

>HD-2D
get this cancer off my board

>>58591769
Only the fangame/mockup in the bottom left actually looks good to play.
All the battle mockups look like shit because the characters don't even seem to exist on the same plane of reality as the backdrops, the Hoenn mockup looks like it's going to overdose on hideous lighting effects, the Goldenrod artpiece looks borderline unplayable with how busy it'd make the screen at all given times while simultaneously limiting itself to a #retro color palette, and the SV mockups are fucking atrocious, especially if you genuinely mean to imply the intention is that you can't even see five tiles ahead of you, which makes for an outright unplayable game with zero overworld exploration cohesion.

>>58591842
Pokemon if kino.

>How much would you pay for them?
>Retarded amounts of DoF, bloom and other Reshade tier filters
Listen, you'd have to pay me to consider paying for this piece of shit concept.
I'm willing to pay you 1$ to fuck off though.

>>58591763 (OP)
Gamefreak is never going back to 2D.

>>58592376
and they're all still better than the fucking vomit on the bottom

>>58591850
This. But not for a remake

>>58591763 (OP)
you'd have to pay me to play this

>>58591769
Are there any ACTUAL COMPLETED fan games/hacks that even look like any of these examples?

>>58592787
No, because all of them are Essentials slop or otherwise based on Gen 3.

>>58592787
My question is, are there any actual RPGs that look like that? Like even if it's not a pokemon fangame

>>58592804
Bottom right is just every HD 2D Square Enix game ever made because now thats all the remakes they want to shit out. Octopath Traveler if you want to know when it started.

>>58591763 (OP)
Looks bad

Octop-ACK Traveler and its consequences have been disastrous for HD pixel art gaming.

>>58591763 (OP)
it's so FUCKING BLURRY
does anyone like this garbage?
