/vr/ - Retro Games

>SOUL | SOULLESS

Doesn't seem that hard. I'm sure there are legions of animators who would rather be doing this than forced to work on some calarts flash show

Reminds me of all those indie games with "beautiful hand drawn graphics" (aka brushed in Paint Tool Sai). They all look the same after a while

I want a 16-bit version of Ducktales so bad.
Aren't there NES emulators with "graphics packs" now?

>>7936882
actually the remake has even more soul which is rare

>>7936960
It feels like it's made for fans of the show instead of fans of the NES game.

>>7936870
no

>>7936882
I was gonna disagree and call it a meme, but the longer I look at it the more I'm seeing it too.

>>7936965
I agree, which sucks. It's the original with the pacing ruined by endless dialogue interruptions and terrible boss fights.

>>7936870
It looked like flash animation, the poly backgrounds were even more insulting

>>7936898
>ducktales on the neo-geo

>>7937018
>It looked like flash animation
It doesn't. This is what flash animation looked like. Guess you just had to be there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MAfDXN45d0

>>7936870
Eh. If they wanted to draw it up to look kinda like the cartoon, sure, that's pretty cute, and hearing the new voice acting and music was pretty cool, but I still prefer the style and aesthetics of the Ducktales game I grew up with.

>>7936898
That would be pretty cool, not gonna lie.

>>7936960
I'm not sure about more, but I'll say that it's certainly not without it.

>>7936882
Correct
>>7936960
Incorrect

>>7936870
If they left it as the pencil sketch they may have been on to something decent. Unfortunately the end result looks like shit

dude let's add tons of cutscenes to a 30 minutes long platform game lmao

>>7937036
Uh yeah no. This is what the average flash game looked like. This remake shit looks worse.

>>7937036
Flash can animate frame by frame, so if you want to you can just draw every single frame like any other kind of conventional animation. Most people wouldn't, even the most talented Flash artists didn't (people like Zone), because it has lots of features that lets you take convenient shortcuts, how good that looked depended on application and how well you knew how to use them.

>>7937020
Why do you have to be a pedo about it?

>>7937868
This is like one of the best flash games ever and the best visuals
Sold commercially from day one
This is not your average flash game

>>7936870
There is also a sequel they can do.

>>7937018
I enjoyed the Scott Pilgrim game which I believe is Flash. In general, I'm not much of a fan of the cheap vector illustration look games Flash had a lot of, but it takes some work to get them where I don't mind.

>>7937868
>Uh yeah no
Uhm... Like? Yeah, No, sweaty. That ain't your average flash game, breh. This ain't it, chief.
Why the fuck are you typing like that?

>>7937971
I'd rather see them do a Darkwing Duck Remastered.

>>7937868
The fuck, is this really Flash? I wouldn't have guessed in a million years and I've played this three times.

>>7939447
Flash can look like anything under the 2D umbrella, which is why "i-it looks like a flash game!" is such a low IQ criticism.

>>7939447
When people say something "looks like a flash game" it's probably because the art looks too clean and vector-like. Vanillaware games don't get targeted the same way, even though the animation is almost exactly the same as games and cartoons made in flash or other vector programs

>>7938972
Chip and Dale remastered or Tale Spin remastered.

>>7937971
>There is also a sequel they can do.
Would you really want it without scrooges voice actor? I feel like 1 was enough.

It really should've been a remake of the first two games, it was too short for what it was. It also should've included the NES games as unlockables.

>>7936870
I genuinely prefer the remake over the original and I don't give a shit how /vr/ feels about that

>>7936870
this shit is like colorizing B&W movies. the results are always worse

>>7939989
Awful taste, colorized movies are peak soul.

>>7939447
You can (most of the times should) do all your graphics outside Flash and use it only for the animation and gameplay logic.

>>7937020
C&D on the Saturn

>>7940568
Wrong resolution for a SS game.

>>7936960
It was pretty cringe.

>>7936898
>I want a 16-bit version of Ducktales so bad.
All we need then is some homebrewfags to spend a year of their life porting it to the Mega Drive. (^:

>>7936992
Soul/Soulless is a meme for folks who aren't capable of producing criticism or understanding why they think something.

The folks in the thread saying that it relies too much on rigging or that the backgrounds look too flat is a better criticism.
>>7939521
And I personally have a fondness for the Newgrounds adjacent style. I appreciate that FNF is leading to young people to get to appreciate it as well.

I think the issue is they went a bit too hard on the dark outline style and could have toned it down. Whomever said it looked too much like the show rather than the original game I think is on to something. They also took the original show and squashed things down a bit, made them a bit more squat so it's an odd mix of both the show and the original sprites. Though I did like the remake.

Better yet ZX Spectrum port.

>>7937868
>average flash game
It's recognized as one of the best flash games graphically. How the fuck is it "average", you retarded nigger?

Pixelated cartoon games look good.
Drawn cartoon games look shit, unless it's flash. It's even worse when you put drawn 2D characters in a bland 3D environment.
Videogames should adapt the cartoon medium, not mimic it. Same reason why "cartoons" featuring sprites with typical wavy animation to make up for lack of sprite frames look bad.

Master System, MSX2+, Atari 8-Bit/5200 & 7800 first, then Genesis, Super NES, PC-Engine, X68000, PC-9821, FMTowns, Jaguar and Neo-Geo.

isn't the PC version of this still broken?

>>7941496
Different game, not by Capcom.

>>7940568
Holy shit that looks beautifl. But yeah SS and Neo-Geo games that are the amazing capcom/sunsoft platformers of yesteryear really would be amazing. They should have done their shoveware then, not in the 00s.

When people say "it looks like a flash game", they mean it looks like a vast majority of the flash games that existed: simplistic 2d graphics

>>7936885
OMG ARE YOU DOING A DUCKTALES THREAD???!!!

Like this. Just really basic / simplistic 2D graphics. This is what a majority of flash games looked like.

Yes, it's POSSIBLE to have a game made in Flash with good graphics, but very few people gave a shit to do that.

>Atari 8-Bit/5200 & 7800
these can't handle DuckTales.

Shig.

>>7941623
Every single modern 2D game that doesn't adhere to a gen 3-4 sprite aesthetic has been accused of "looking like a flash game" by contrarians here. You've driven it into the ground and it's meaningless at this point.
