I will never understand why this and it's sequel are trapped on Gamecube/PS2 but Okami gets ported to everything under the sun.

>>11849637 (OP)
capcom only ports PS3 games. Okami's case it had an HD release.
Real reason though, most companies don't really respect 2D games, even if they are 2.5D

>>11849649
>capcom only ports PS3 games. Okami's case it had an HD release.
Okami was a PS2 game, just like Viewtiful Joe.

Capcom is pretty good about respecting its back catalog - it's probably just them not being able to for some reason, probably lost the original assets as usual.

Give it time, it'll probably end up on switch 2

>>11849683
>Capcom is pretty good about respecting its back catalog
Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection when?
>>11849705
I hope so. Put it out on all consoles and PC. VJ deserves to not be in obscurity.

>>11849649
Godhand and Maximo also still stuck on PS2, and they're 3D

Are people afraid to emulate now of days or something? All these calls for HD remasters is a bit odd when they are easily accessible and most play on today's versions of toasters.

>>11849749
how will my friends not think i'm autistic if i invite them to play with me on pcs with emulation, instead of forking out hundreds of dollars (in between all of us) to play together on shitty overpriced wi-fi?

>>11849749
I can emulate, but not a lot of people want to and it'd be cool to have this readily available for ourselves and to recommend to people. Some people really just want to pop in a game and make it work.

>>11849637 (OP)
If it's on Gamecube it isn't trapped. It's basically the same as having a PC port.

>>11849772
I mean, thats literally emulation.
Download emulator, download rom or iso, find file or just drag it, play.

At worst you have to import some bios in which case you can find a 3 minute youtube video to explain how to do it. Its really weird to see so many young people avoid emulation so much and want remasters.

>>11849637 (OP)
Dolphin exists, it doesn’t matter.

>>11849783
And not going after this thread personally, it just seems there are a TON of threads lately clamoring for HD remasters and console ports when in reality you could be playing most consoles on your phone even, let alone the pc.

>>11849749
I think in this case, the GameCube version looks/performs better, but the PS2 version has more content so there is actually a valid reason to re-release a "best" version.

>>11849787
Emulation is just soulless. I guess it's okay if you dump the ROMs/ISOs yourself and play those, but downloading them off the Internet just feels like digital cuckoldry.

>>11849637 (OP)
>2025
>MGS4 is still a PS3 Exclusive

>>11849794
Or you just download the iso and play it right now with 0 difference. You can even play it in HD or standard resolution.
>>11849803
I swear, we are being raided by some weird nintendo shills trying to stir some odd emulation hate. Its the weirdest thing I've ever seen. These sentiments legit make no sense unless you're a corporation with something to lose upon not being able to sell people access to old games. Utterly bizarre.

>>11849816
>Or you just download the iso and play it right now
You ignored every part of their post. Did you have a response pre-typed?

>>11849794
But GameCube is already the better version. PS2 had to compromise so much, and Dante was hardly an apology.

>>11849820
>looks and performs better

I already said, emulation unless its specifically a texture thing

>>11849681
okami got an HD remaster for PS3

Like I said, either Nintendo and Snoy have actually been successful at swaying zoomers mentality against their own interests (very possible considering Switch 2 sales) or its some weird shills. I'd say the second option is less likely but you never know considering Capcom swore up and down we were beneath them until both Ninja Theory and Capcom shills were caught trolling around regular /v/. Hell, even moonman himself did a q and a with 8__chan way back when for Nier. Still, /vr/ is pretty niche so I doubt it.

>>11849875
Also, its funny how 4chan still has 8__chan blocked from discussion.

>>11849896
I mean, back in the day yes. Now of days the site is loooong dead. Practically no posters and all the archived threads had their contents deleted.

>>11849906
Normally I'd agree, but the anti-emulation sentiments have grown lately... which, like I said before, is super odd. Videos have gone up legit arguing against video game preservation and the individuals rights to enjoy out of production games. Its just a weird time we are living in.

>>11849914
i don't think it matters, modding has never been stronger (see smash remix), in fact i think is nintendo bullying fan projects what made them more prominent and to the point of people even making PC ports. Moralfags existed back in the day as well, but this is the board for retro games and emulation, people comming here are just shitposting.

>>11849914
Yeah, super odd that people don't wanna deal with emulator bullshit and just wanna boot up a game and have it work first try. Maybe leave your nerd bubble for once

>>11849921
You're probably right. Guess the recent trends in gaming have me on edge. That and how hard Nintendo and Sony are going after various emulation/rom hacking sites. Scary to think what we might eventually lose all while consoomers clap it on.

>>11849637 (OP)
It has to be some sort of bizarre nationalist pride that keeps getting Slowkami an unlimited pile of second chances because I don't know why Capcom keeps trying to make it happen.

Why the fuck would you care about a HD port when you could just play it on Dolphin at like 16k and 60fps on any good computer.

I will never understand you retards.

>>11849803

>>11849637 (OP)
well, you see, anon, unlike Viewtiful Joe, Okami is good! I hope this helps!

>>11849803
>emulation's soulfulness depends on whether or not you dumped the ROMs yourself
Hardware purists are absolutely diseased. I don't blame anybody who buys some old Nintendo and a couple of games to relieve the past, just like I don't blame anybody who downloads an emulator and a ROM to do so. The games matter, the fucking GAMES, man. This kind of shit is deranged. I'd be willing to bet you've even played a console game at some point (like some Midway Arcade Treasures or Mega Man collection bullshit) where the games were being emulated and you didn't even know it. Are those games "soul" too, even though they're being run through emulation? I'm not even going to address how mentally retarded likening getting free shit to "digital cuckoldry" is. Log off man.

>>11849637 (OP)
If the original was worth playing when it came out, then it's worth playing now. If you can't stand playing a retro game without a modern 'HD' port/remake/remaster/whatever, then you shouldn't be on /vr/

>>11849772
dolphin is about as "just werks" as you can possibly get. even on my fucking phone it runs flawlessly. seems like people still think emulation was in the state it was 20 years ago.

I realized emulation was a fraud when I couldn't progress in Chrono Trigger because ZSNES couldn't detect multiple keystrokes at the same time. Could never be me.

>>11849970
Okami has never been good.

>>11849941
Because HD ports often have higher resolution versions of the original textures than could have been included in the disc at the time.

>>11850010

>>11850013
Okami is good! If you disagree you have bad taste! Sorry!

SAAR

>>11850295
It's exactly what Capcom would do. At least with that one, the fans hand-touched up the upscales to make sure they were good.

I have only played PS2 Viewitiful Joe and have to ask if human beings seriously played these games on that Gamecube d-pad

>>11849794
devs nowadays are beyond lazy, the era of resident evil 4 wii style re-releases is over. they either just port a specific version with ai-slopped textures or remake it with troons as the core audience, either way the original will be superior

>>11849914
Those videos are clickbait, controversial on purpose. They are counting on lots of people hate-watching the video and then leaving plenty of comments arguing against the premise, which the YouTube algorithm registers as a successful channel that people want to see more videos from.

>>11849683
>no modern release of Dark Stalkers for fighting game enthusiasts

>When are they going to make a remaster so I can finally play this game??!!!

Is there any more cancerous opinion in all of this hobby?

First of all, it shows that the person doesn't really like old games since he only plays modern versions of them.
Secondly it shows the lazyness and entitlement for not seeking a way to play the game, which are already available. Again, another modern flaw.
Thirdly all remasters are trash and make the game worse so it's literally asking "please take a shit on this game!".

So no, I can't think of a more cancerous opinion. It doesn't just bring other people to the lowest of levels but the games too for those that didn't ask for anything and don't know better.

>>11849637 (OP)
Under 60 fps is unbearable. HOWEVER, 480p is all you need from a game. Higher resolutions just look wrong.

>>11849815
I managed to get through the whole thing on rpcs3, however I would not recommend playing it that way

>>11849890

I think the only thing they'd have to tweak in a potential Joe remaster is how some of the stage hazards and bosses would play out in 16:9. There are more than a few instances where bosses or hazards go off-screen and part of the challenge is having to predict that. Like the barrels in stage two or any of the helicopter fights. This is the sort of minute details which would probably be lost on a random Hong Kong porting studio, but its better than letting Joe languish on 6th gen consoles forever.

Joe whistling the Mario theme song while bouncing V-Bombs would have to be altered too. Pretty unbelievable that made it into the PS2 version without any lawyers noticing.

>>11850314
Despite being a completely 2D game, even the controller prompts on the GC game exclusively depict the analogue stick. They knew no one wanted to play with that little GBA nub.

The only issue with Joe on Dolphin is the frame pacing still isn't entirely perfect. I've fiddled with a million different settings and tried the latest builds but as of last week its still somewhat framey looking. Not the end of the world, but still another reason why a real port would be good.

>>11849637 (OP)
it emulates great on dolphin

i'd even say it plays better than it would on original hardware, since you can enjoy a functional d-pad

>>11850539
>Joe whistling the Mario theme song while bouncing V-Bombs would have to be altered too. Pretty unbelievable that made it into the PS2 version without any lawyers noticing.

That did not make it into the PS2 version.

>>11849979
You just made up a whole entire different thing than what OP posted

>>11850459
How about I just wanna pop in a disc on a modern machine and it just works. Rather than hook up my Wii, find my Wiimotes, make sure they work, have a working sensor bar, and then get to play the game.

>>11850645
OP said that there are games that are "trapped" on their original consoles, which is untrue.

>>11850661
Trapped as in no official release. I know you'll say "b-buh emulation" but I know plenty of normie friends who don't want to do that and HD ports have proven to also reach new audiences too

>>11850674
My point is that the originals exist and always will exist.

>>11850723
No one ever said the originals didn't still exist

>>11850727
Play them then and stop complaining about games being "trapped"

Trapped on a fisher price toy. Well, N64 had some games, but not enough to justify a purchase.

>>11850729
Of course I can fucking play them. But they're still trapped on 6th gen hardware, you retard. What are you not getting?

>>11850739

>>11849637 (OP)
To me pretty much all old games are trapped on their hardware, unless they got a steam port. My taste is so sophisticated, I always only really like a handful of games on any console, so I never buy any console.

>>11850542
Neither did the ROBs in the final stage.

>>11849803
God, you people are so fucking stupid.

>>11849803
Nowadays emulation can be a better experience than playing the original on console.

>>11849749
>why do people want good games to be more available
It's a mystery.

>>11850830
plenty of steam releases of old games are actually emulated

>>11849803
Based take.
Specially when I decided to give emulation a shit but FF8 gets stuck in disc 2 with several roms and emulators. But I pop the save on my ps1 and it just works.

>>11849815
Not for long, the next MGS collection should be out soon.
