Unreal/Unity and game maker are the absolute worst. Now everyone thinks they're a game-dev.

We already have an updated version of Zelda 64 as well.

>Unreal/Unity and game maker are the absolute worst. Now everyone thinks they're a game-dev.
So much this. I'm an actual game dev who wrote my own engine from scratch, and anything I put out, people assume it's a cut & paste unity game. Nobody appreciates hard work anymore.

>>4642465
That grass photo on the floor looks so uncanny and out of place.

Agreed, it looks like shit. OoT3D was a much better remake from a graphical standpoint.

>>4642465
Fuck, these videos (and comments) drive me up the wall, such poor fucking taste

>>4642508
Holy shit that looks awful.

>>4642621
that's the point

>>4642483
no-one gives a shit about your engine, people just want to play good games

>>4642509
They are literally delusional. They have NO fucking concept of aesthetic. You can't take blocky polygonal edges and smear random high res textures all over

>>4642483
Yeah man people used to clamor over game engines right? No one gives a shit how you did it, they care how the game is

>>4642621
This is pretty clearly a parody of "HD remasters", they gave the skeleton a fucking foot for an arm lmao.

I would legit play this though, if only for the comedic value

>>4642475
I know a lot of people that hate this remake, but the only fault I see is how they decided to guide the player on the water temple. To me it looks better overall.

In fact, Nintendo could literally make an HD version of that specific updated version with the same textures at a higher resolution and that's it. That's all it needs.

I commented that it looks bad and someone said
"You do it"

Literally a 5 year old rebuttal

>>4642483
>people assume it's a cut & paste unity game
I guess if your engine doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from Unity in the context of the game you're developing, why not just use Unity?

>>4642673
It looks good for what it is, but they did really butcher the atmosphere. Everything is a lot more colorful and cartoonish whereas OoT was actually rather muted and bleak looking at times. Also they made adult Link look like a fucking faggot. Still, it's one of the better remasters that exists.

>>4642683
jokes on you, he doesn't have a game, no enginedevs have games

>>4642678
>Drumpf is a bad leader
>"You do it!"

>>4642695
Please don't bring politics onto this board you massive fucking faggot.

>>4642483
Does your engine run better and more efficiently, or let you do something impossible in Unity?

>>4642465
>>4642508
Is this what people refer to when they say they want a "real" remake that "truthfully" remasters and brings "upgraded" and "expanded" looks and textures, contrary to what Nintendo does that's considered wrong?

>>4642683
Unity is pushed by the corporate agenda because it gives them the right to ripoff any concept or design mechanic created with Unity and use it however they wish including reselling it. This allows them to control the industry and cap newcomers with a glass ceiling.

Don't use Unity.

>>4642738
Oh my god

>>4642742
try not to remember what stuff you wrote when you were 14

>>4642746
I'm just... in shock

>>4642692
Joke is you. When you make an engine it's for a game. While building it you make a game. You're probably a child who never wrote a line of code in your life but it's just simple common sense.

>>4642738

This is what happens when you don't beat your kids hard enough desu.

>>4642725
just my impression fro playing unity games, most custom engines are going to be more performant than unity

>let you do something impossible in Unity?
i've never used it, what does it actually do that's all that great? every game i've played that uses it seems to fall into the same 4-5 officially sanctioned genres, but if you want to do anything else you're SOL

>>4642738
Pretty OP :)

....
And it looks like unplayable SHIT

>>4642738

"I'll bitch about copyright law, but i wont take time to read about it."
why is 70% of the internet this dumb?

>>4642740

' it gives them the right to ripoff any concept or design mechanic created with Unity and use it however they wish'

where in the EULA does it say that?

Tee-heehee the anger nourishes me. Mhmm.... I enjoy this. You are all so sad. I have crafted hardware that would make your skin crawl. The Legend of Zelda ran 16 bit after I modded it, no computer needed! Ta-ha! I can code and develop games that do impossible things. All on a Windows 95. You're simply jealous to watch others achieve what you thought was impossible. This was my project. And quite frankly IT DOESNT MATTER that you aren't fans of my work!!! It was made for FANS. Go toheeheeheell-heeheehee

>>4642825
Oh god

>>4642483
>I'm an actual game dev who wrote my own engine from scratch
so do you have an actual complete game, or just an engine?

HD remakes can look good only if they are just using the same assets, but in higher resolution. The MGS HD collection for example. But note that is a collection of PS2 games. PS2 games often have higher resolution textures than the PS2 can actually display, which you can see when emulating. With an N64 game, you can't just render the environment in Unreal, slap pre-fab textures on it, and have it not look godawful. With higher resolution, you have to actually add more detail. Its why so many modern 2d games look like garbage, they have the same amount of detail as a 256x256 resolution game, but 10 times the resolution.

>>4642872

SHUT UP! Just SHUT UP WOULD YA! I am doing the talking now Mr Fickletit. It used to be soooo easy to mess with me. Screw you. You're an uncomplete. Forgettable vultures stealing from me. I am the only intelligent human around.

>>4642908

Why as a matter of fact yes. 2 games: Downwell and The Talos Principle were both developed by me on my code. Look them up. Not exactly the forgotten games you expected.

>>4642683
>I guess if your engine doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from Unity in the context of the game you're developing, why not just use Unity?
Unity is a powerful engine, but it's bloated, and I can do things more efficiently by trimming things back for the needs of each game
>Does your engine run better and more efficiently, or let you do something impossible in Unity?
Yes, my engine is more lightweight with less trimmings, so it's faster, because I don't need shit like chromatic abberation and shit
>>4642908
>so do you have an actual complete game, or just an engine?
I've completed 3 games, cancelled many more, and am working on one right now - although I concede your point - engine devs don't finish games. The engine took me 3 years to write, and during this time I produced nothing except shitty tests.

>>4642941

Stop assuming my identity twerp. I turned on my tripcode.

>>4642942
What? Quote the right person faggot

>>4642945
Don't reply to him, just keep reporting his dumb ass. It's some stupid tripfag spouting incoherent garbage.

>>4642947
k anon, I just figured out what was happening after I replied.

>>4642945

Twerp. You heteronormative buffoon. Embarassing.

>>4642947

This is my thread. You better getout kid. You might get hurt.

>This is my thread. You better getout kid. You might get hurt.
Lmao, this guy is a genius. You faggots are going to keep biting this bait and thinking he's being serious too. I bet he's having a jolly laugh on the other end.

>>4642958

Samefag

You have 3 seconds to leave before I silence thee indefinite.

>>4642980
I'm really not, I just think it's funny how he's cucking you guys and you're too autistic to pick up on the obviously sardonic tone of his posts.

>>4642982
We don't care about your sarcasm

>>4642989

Aww poor you. You're a 'we'? Is that a metabolism issue? Piggies like you squeal by my hand every day so shut up before my skillet gets lonely. This is my thread. I am the coder now. Deal with it.

Best Spyro Stage?

>>4642683
i remember some manlet my brother knows saying something along the lines of "if you're not making the engine or involved in the programining or coding of a game then you're not a dev. you're just a modder"

>>4643068
>some manlet my brother knows

>>4642687
I agree but to be fair the game isn't intended for people who grew up with the games, but the kids growing up now who have heard about the game from their older cousins or siblings.

>>4642508
Dem manlet proportions

>>4642716
Agreed, but I think you are asking too much here:

>liberal
>not being a massive fucking faggot

pick one

Any developer who ever made something from the doom engine or the build engine is a FUCKING HACK!

>>4642687
I think it's the opposite problem. They desaturated the saturated colors and saturated the desaturated colors. The n64 zelda games had a lot of really rich, saturated colors mixed with subtle, desaturated browns and greys

>>4642649
>Yeah man people used to clamor over game engines right?

Yes? I remember at least in the PC sphere how people would hype up a game because it was using the Unreal 2 engine, and then people hyping up games that used the source engine. I guess it's different on consoles.

>>4642673
I don't mind the water temple changes, it turned THAT dungeon into one of my favorite with just two tiny changes. The brighter color scheme can be kind of hit or miss (the Dead Hand and Ganon fights especially suffer from it) and young Link looks like a fag but overall it's a pretty good remake and my personal way to play these days. Shame about the MM remake though.

>>4644747

What about the Tech 3 engine?

>>4642483
Oh yeah well I'm an ACTUAL GAME DEV who designed my own programming language and runtime environment.

>>4642934
Whats the point of bragging if you're lying? Don't you wanna live with yourself?

>>4642508
Niggas shoes on the wrong feet

>>4644743
Why do you people have to bring up liberals wherever you go? Shut up and talk about videogames.

>>4642678
funny thing is you probably could make it in a week.
Unreal is very easy to use.
Grab some assets find scripts online and compile it all together.
If I was a dedicated enough shitposter I would probably do that to get back at someone but I'm not on that level yet.

>>4642508
>excessively detailed backgrounds that clutter the foreground
>perspective mismatch
100% hwat

People treat those stupid remakes almost like they were written in Assembly

>>4642508
>that skeleton foot

>>4642508
This is a masterpiece.
We need more remakes that shit on the devs just as much as the grafux crybabies.

>>4642508
>that bottom part

>>4642508
It looks like a stock photo collage

>>4642508
Is this Dark Souls HD?

>>4642934
There's no common person between the two games despite their connection in publisher.
Regardless, Downwell was GameMaker and don't know much about Talos Principle but since it's Croteam it was probably Unreal-based.
