/vr/ - Retro Games

I love the toy-ish art style, it looks really freakin' cute.

I just hope the bonus dungeon is harder than the one we got in DX.

>>5368958
The art looks absolutely fucking awful.

>>5368958
Just saw. Im here or there about the art style, but... at the same time we're talking about a redone gameboy experience. So i'm okay with it.

I was hyped when the trailer started, but after I saw the art style... no thanks. Wish they would've at least made it a sequel like they did with Link Between Worlds.

I literally started playing the game this month for the first time and now I see this.

I think it looks great desu.

Do you think Link's Remakening will make the egg an actual dungeon, or will it still just be a bunch of repeating rooms?

>>5368974
Keep playing the original. It's charming as fuck, really doesn't need any kind of remake to be appreciated.

>>5368958
ugg

>>5368985
Hhahhaahhahahhagaha
It looks like albw and that game was super easy.

maybe a kiss for good luck?

>>5368979
Oh I like it a lot and I plan on finishing it. But the remake certainly caught my eye.

>>5368996
I'd like it better if they went all-out and made it look like that.

>>5368985
>mario enemies
fucking lmao they really have to reuse assets?

>>5368968
How, though? Wind fish is awake and the island is no more.

>>5368958
>nuRemakes

>>5369006
Chain Chomps were originally meant to be used for Zelda. If there's any reusing of assets, it was the decision to put them into Mario 3 instead.

>>5368985
>left
soul

>right
holy fucking dumpster fire

i'm primarily excited about one thing, and that is that nintendo has to remake Richard's Villa, which means For the Frog the Bell Tolls is finally getting some recognition outside of smash bros
i'm hype even for this small thing

>>5369026
i'm curious if the kirby enemy will still be there
i can see it confusing new players

and speaking of confusing new players...

There's at least one undeniably good thing which will come of this: A fresh new wave of Marin porn.

Marin a cute. Cute!

>>5368993
Mine, too. It's my favorite Zelda game of all time, I feel like I owe a remake a play, but at the same time, I wish they had done something a bit more... interesting? Such a simple gameplay model seems ripe for some real graphical experimentation, especially for a game that's all about mysterious islands and windfish and shit.

>>5369050
Marin is my first, truest, and ultimately only waifu that matters. I'll take anything that gets her some more exposure.

LA chads get the fuck in here

>>5369012
I don't know, the Windfish falls under an evil spell and falls back asleep? Koholint turns out to exist in a dream realm that can be reformed outside of the Windfish's dream? That could be the plot for the sequel. Honestly I guess just anything other than what is apparently just a straight up remake with a crummy looking graphical style.

They ruined it. They ripped every shred of soul from it. Fuck Nintendo.

You think they'll take the easy route for the L-2 sword and just turn it into the master sword?

You didn't play GB/GBC Link's Awakening right?

>>5369119
I've played both. Multiple times

>>5369051
The game looks kinda like a Pokemon game honestly, also the art style and graphics are a bit simple and basic, they don't look bad but they don't stand out either.

I like their intro animation tho.

>>5368985
>>5368958
I can see Nu-maletendo has fucked up the art-style yet again. The lighting is fucking horrible and everything looks like plastic. I hate the soulless plastic toy look of all recent HD games. Id rather just live in the past and play the b&w gamboy that had SOUL. Links Awakening was cartoony but also had a spooky nightmare moments and a darker tone. They are going to censor the mermaid & hippo tits for sure.

>>5369152
They censored the tits in the US version.

>>5369006
there were chain chomps and goombas in the original. zoom zoom

>>5369006
those were in the original, kiddo

>>5369152
This is how I feel as well.

>>5369171
they cut her hippo tits off. thats very sexist and anti-furfag which is good thanks jewtendo.

>>5369192
OH NO THE MASSIVE CENSORSHIP THEY'RE TAKING MUH FREE SPEECH RIGHTS

The remake is how the game was originally intended to look.

>>5369219
this board will never recover

>>5369219
except those puppets actually had effort put into making them

>>5369332

The puppets look identical to the remake.

>>5369219
Link to the Past remake where Link is a crossdressing pop dancing woman?

>>5368985
>the grass is fucking perfect square 1:1 tiles
Did they get Game Freak to make this remake?

>>5369050
Except everyone will draw her as a little funko doll with soulless, dead black eyes.

>>5369152
>They are going to censor the mermaid & hippo tits for sure.
But that already happened in the original release.

>>5369489
Oh no they won't, quit being a drama queen. On-model porn is actually really uncommon. Artists prefer to just use their own styles.

>>5368985
ugh, hate to say it but I hope Nintendo sends them a cease & desist order immediately... looks gross

I was excited when I saw the opening becuase I knew what it was...then I saw the graphics.

>>5368958

>>5369006
Go play the original.

>>5369113
>games stop existing retroactively if a remake happens

Nothing will have made anyone happy. This is the outcome no matter what

>>5368958
This is cool. Seriously considering buying a switch now.

GOOD JOB NINTENDO! ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE WIELDED THE BLADE OF INNOVATION AND PREVAILED AGAINST THE EGREGIOUS FORCES OF NEFARIOUS "AAA" CORPORATE NON-GAMES.

>>5369047
>kirby

Isn't that a pols voice?

>>5368958
The opening cinematic looks amazing, and I hope theresa little more cutscenes of this quality, even just him washing on shore and being rescued by Marin would be satisfying enough.

People are complaining about the graphics but to me the music killed it for me. The gameboy zeldas have music that is some of my favorite, and instead of dressing it up to modern console quality they instead babied it down to a kind of Yoshis wooly world-esque rendition. Tal Tal heights is my all time favorite zelda theme so I hope they dont ruin that one in the same vein.

Anyway, complaints aside, and to those also complaining about the graphics style, it's really for the better this exists. This will open up LA to a whole new generation, and it will get people talking about the original (and dx) as well so it's really fantastic in that sense that such an incredible game is getting this attention, in an age where the only gameboy games the younger generation will really know about is pokemon.

>>5370247
The music sounds amazing, bro. What are you talking about?

>>5370246

I think it looks fine. Reminds me of 3D Dot Heroes. I was kind of hoping for a reinterpretation, though, à la Link Between World.

I don't mind the chibi style, and I might even be able to live with everything looking like clay models, but why the fuck did they blur out 50% of the screen so that you can't even see the assets half the time? It's so ugly and a literal eyesore, all the blur makes the screen difficult to look at. Looking at a blurry image is very uncomfortable because my eyes keep trying to re-focus to fix the blur but they can't because it's baked into the image. If they removed the ugly blur I'd be so much more okay with everything else.

>>5370470
>why the fuck did they blur out 50% of the screen so that you can't even see the assets half the time?
It's a cheat so they can cover the loading and rendering, since it seems this is doing away with the usual screen-by-screen transition effect.

>>5370260
It sounds like shit

>>5369332
>post yfw when they ruin the photo quest with the new """artstyle"""

>>5370513
They probably will ignore the DX add-ons in favor of new material of its own.

>>5370496
Well it looks awful and hurts my eyes. I really hope they either remove it or at least soften it because it's so harsh to look at. Not to mention I really would like to actually be able to see and appreciate all the assets in the game without feeling like I need glasses to see all the blurred out features.

>>5370226
Based marketing man.

>>5368985
go back to /v/. Shit on the new art all you fucking want but at least explain why you hate the new art instead of going "MUH SOUL ;_;"

>>5368985
it doesn't look that bad, but yeah the original was better

>>5368958

Fuck it looks soulless. All that procedural Mario 3d world look.

>>5370247
>>5370505
Link's Awakening was the first Zelda game with an ocarina
Link's Remakening has actual ocarinas playing
It's fine, okay? This is fine

>>5371231
But this is central soul.

>>5368958
This picture looks like it was taken from a 90s cartoon.

>>5371361
The item was in all the original Zelda games. In LoZ there was the Recorder/Flute, same in Zelda 2. In Zelda 3 it was still called the flute, but now shaped like an ocarina. In LA it was shaped like an ocarina and called an ocarina.

>>5371361
What the fuck was alttp then, retard?

>>5371576
>>5371587
I never actually played LttP and my sole source of knowledge for video game lore is rumors on the internet

>>5371361
I'd still play the game if/when I have a switch, and I'll still probably enjoy it, so I'm not saying it's a detriment to the game. But the instruments and the style of music are too very different things.

Of course I was a little kid when I played LA, so I did the same thing in my head when I played pokemon, but I pictured LA music as being very grand while upbeat. It was minimalistic enough that I could still evoke the feelings of an epic adventure in my head while I was playing the game. I know this sounds wishy washy, but LA music converts to the grand scale very well, look up the 25th anniversary symphony of tal tal heights if you wanna know what I mean. You could still use ocarinas, but in a way that still captures that grand adventure feel is very doable.

They instead went a very cutesy score that, to be honest after rewatching the trailer, does match the overly cutesy graphics and design, but at the same time the more traditional sweeping score would have also fit cause at the end of the day its fucking zelda. Basically repeating myself at this point but they didnt need to make the soundtrack cutesy, it's overkill to me and takes away my favorite part of the original but whatever I'll still play the game if I get the chance.

>>5372407
I don't hear it being especially cutesy. They are using real instruments, real musicians. This is cool people. REALLY COOL.

>>5370729
You've got problems.

>>5369105
those things don't determine graphical style you dolt

>>5368976
>Link's Remakening
Clever.

>>5368958
I don't really mind the toy artstyle on its own, but I don't think it's a good fit for Link's Awakening. I felt like LA had a triumphant, adventurous feeling to it with a little bit of silliness, but ultimately somewhat dark undertones. Giving it a "toy" style just makes it too cutesy overall. The ending is probably the most depressing out of any Zelda game; I simply can't imagine taking it as seriously with the cutesy art.

>>5369515
This one encapsulates it quite well, it looks so shitty it could be a fan game.

>>5369367
Pattern of the grass is 1:1 and yet they didn't even follow through and put the smaller, white flowers in completely different spots.

NOT RETRO DELETE

>>5374814
Remakes of retro games are allowed in /vr/.

>>5374821
So why was a janitor deleting my re2 remake threads yesterday?

>>5374827
Maybe there wasn't enough of a retro context in your threads. Discussions of remakes in /vr/ typically consist of comparing the remake to the original. I could see if you were just straight discussing REmake 2 with no attention paid to the original that might be seen as unacceptable.

>>5369006
Found the zoomer

why has no one pointed out the fucking SHIELD WHY

>>5369050
>>5369070
My brethren.

>>5374827
Because they are paid by Nintendo to do that.

This thread only proves you're all picky faggots.

>>5373464
Something with more originality in terms of story and game progression would make the style more forgivable. Granted, maybe this will diverge a lot from the original, but if it is more or less LA with this look, I see no reason to play it over the original LA.

>>5368958
I'm actually excited that the very first Game Boy game I've ever played, 26 years ago, is being remade.

>>5369050
>>5376901
marin is pure, filthy pervs

>>5377052
I'll have to agree on this; I'll jerk it to any other Zelda characters, except the ones from Link's Awakening. Marin is pure and the Hippo in Animal Village is an athromorphic character.

>>5376653
What about it? If you're going to complain about how it shouldn't be in the game, it's Link's shield; it even has his name on it.

>>5377064
No, this is his shield

>>5377063
I jerk it to crazy tracy

>>5377126
I do really like that design, but Nintendo would rather just homogenize everything than to respect or acknowledge the stylistic differences that used to exist in their past games.

>>5377203
Wahoo, muh nigga.

>>5377203
Where on Link does she rub the secret lotion?

>>5377372
I'll never tell~

>>5377052
Pure girls want the D too, anon. How dare you deny them sexual release.

>>5377551
But only from the one true love, with the lights off, under the blanket in the missionary position with the eyes closed for the sole purpose of procreation.

>>5379314
Marin breaks out the hair brush every damn day at 3 PM, and let me tell you, she ain't brushing her hair.
