/vr/ - Retro Games

I dont hate the style choices they made.

>>8284781
The sense of depth on the bottom looks fucking amazing.

>>8284796
Nope it looks jarring. Also what's with the light rays beaming down

>>8284781
Windows XP wallpaper

>>8284807
Nah it looks awesome. Jarring is a meaningless buzzword. You're clearly a full blown fucking autust if you think boring flat tiles look better.

>>8284796
It was done better in Unlimited Saga.

>>8284807
Then don’t play it lol

>>8284927
It really wasn't though.

>>8284781
looks awful, im not saying that dragon quest games have ever looked remotely good though

>>8284810
You don’t have to sell it more anon

>>8284961
>lol

>>8285000
fuck off retard

>>8285000
>laughing out loud is now onions
Shut up.

SOUL

FUCK ALL THE SEETHING NIGGERS WHO WILL SHIT TALK THIS REMAKE THAT THEY WILL NEVER PLAY!

Looks great.

It looks absolutely amazing and you'll be able to turn off the bloom and post processing and DoF and anything else you don't like by editing the config settings.

Literally complaining for the sake of complaining.

>how do we reach the audience of retards that emulate pokemon on their phones with a completely wrong aspect ratio and shitty filter?
Thus the Ocotopath style was born.

>>8285226
Kill yaself

>>8284782
Looks like icons on a windows xp desktop

The sprites look absolutely amazing and faithful to the source material. The lighting can be edited I hope, but I don't mind it too much.

>>8284915
>>8284961
Literal shills.

battle scene looks incredible
the town map is fucky. feels like assets from 3 different consoles smashed together. the post-processing is probably the biggest issue though. would be okay with all that shit off

I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully it makes it out next year and not 2023.

bottom is great, top looks like the gamma is off

it's tricky to lighten shit, using white or pale yellow with additive blending washes it out

>>8284781
Looks great. I and II are already sort of confirmed to receive the same treatment, but I hope that IV does too since it was on the same platform.

>>8284781
Don't care. I love it and I'll buy the game just to support these bloomy remakes

I fucking love how it looks. This is pretty much peak remake style for me, and fuck DQ3 is what I'd consider the best JRPG ever made so I'm pretty stoked

I also loved Octopath though which seems to not be a common opinion

I hope they learn from XIS and add hard modes. The SNES remake was really too easy.

>>8284979
Yes it was. In Unlimited Saga character looked at each other turned around while casting. And most of all - they weren't pixelated nostalgia bait but large hand drawn sprites that looked more next gen than any of the 2D but with BLOOM nostalgia shit pumped out today.

>>8285987
unlimited saga is gorgeous at times but don't ignore the fact that basic walking around is replaced with menus and dice rolls

>bring back pixel art
>fuck it all up with blur, bloom and out of place looking indie particles™
>can't even get a simple perspective right

This shit is literally the future right here. It better sell a gorillion copies

Why do people think this looks good?

>>8284781
Is this getting an English release? I haven't heard about it before (not a big DQ/DW fan) but this does look promising.

>>8285996
In battle its ugly

>>8286382
They announced several games during the stream and the only one they specified was Japan only was the latest DQX expansion.

>>8286159
The monsters face the camera, but the heroes are diagonal.

Reading the article on DQ3 remake:
>Released back in 1988, the Dragon Quest 3 was an instant success and smashed records worldwide.
It came out 4 years later in the west and didn't even sell 100k copies. It seems a lot of young journalists assume all games had a global release the same month or something. I see this mistake time and again.

What the fuck does "bloom" mean in this context? Green? Plants?

>>8286853
Light bloom. A huge buzzword tech from the 360 era and the technology responsible for everything in games like TES IV looking like they had internal light sources. Annoyingly, it is still being used in some cases, such as the OP screenshot.

>>8284781
The Onctopath Traveler engine is ugly as sin

>>8286862
Oh, that makes sense. I thought people were getting mad about plant based scenery for a second. I don't agree that the lighting looks bad though.

>>8286159
the heroes are clearly standing in a staggered formation while the monsters are all in a row. you can tell by the shadows.
turns out you were the one who can't even get a simple perspective right

>>8286865
>Nooo, you can't just put sprites on a 3d engine like 50% of Playstation and Saturn, and even many PS2 RPGs did.

>>8286872
I'm just saying it looks terrible.

I do hate particle effects for spells though. They look wimpy compared to solid, powerfully drawn animations.

>>8286873
It doesn't though. You're just saying "new is bad" like every other contrarian retard.

>>8286878
It looks really bad.

>>8286879
Your mom.

>>8284781
I like how it looks.
I really like that beautiful meadowland on the bottom screen.

>>8286371
Standards seem really low in 2021. Some people got excited for Octopath too and I didn't get that either. It looks awful and doesn't remind me of older games at all.

>>8286904
>doesn't remind me of older games at all.

Good, that means they are doing their job at providing something new. Fucking nostalgiafags are the worst.

Game from 1998

>>8286912
Keep coping. They're trying to do a retro style, and appeal to nostalgia.

>>8284781
Just to note something, the character's names on the bottom are:
>Arse
>Misery
>Marine
>Maggot

Someone was havin a laff

>>8284781
this shit looks better than the pixel remasters the FF games are getting.

>>8286490
The battles are the best looking part of the game.

>>8286904
Wasn't Octopath a huge flop?

>>8286912
>>8286917
I feel like they're trying to appeal to zoomers who think "retro" is cool, rather than to genuine nostalgia of those who played the originals at the time.

>>8287035
ya, spawned a sequel and inspired a new style of remakes. definitely flopped

>>8287035
No? It sold like hotcakes, at least in Japan it did.

>>8287039
Zoomers played the exact same games when they were kids, except on GBA and DS.

And I don't want anyone pandering to nostalgia. I want sprite graphics because they look way better than polygon models, which I'm absolutely sick of pretending are good by this point. I can do without the 3d world, but I'll tolerate it. Particle effects and dynamic lighting are lazy cop outs compared to drawing both in by hand.
Octopath stands by its own merits, and has a very modern combat system that is great fun. Hardly a perfect game, and too bloated, but an immersive experience.

>>8286878
You are posting on the retro games board.

>>8287035
I hope so.
>>8287039
Yes exactly, thank you for articulating that for me.

>>8287082
Liking old games does not necessitate hating modern remakes or even modern games

>>8287051
I agree, but desu I didn't enjoy Octopath at all

fucking soulful

>>8284781
This looks like garbage just my opinion. Getting your favorite old game remade in this engine is the definition of monkey's paw. Zoomers paid full price for this, I feel sorry for them.

>>8287267
well the shit filter in octopath is pretty bad but the concept of HD dragon quest 7 visuals is great
when the shit filter is absent or used appropriately, it's a sexy game

Is fucking great just turn off the vignette you whiny fucking faggot. Jesus christ i wasnt to know what you look like IRL because you have to be such a little onions bitch. You just whine and whine about bloom in a game with pixels. Jesus christ.

>>8286870
The reason why the perspective is wrong is because everything is billboarded panels. They made the rookie mistake of mapping the enemies to the camera center, while the heroes are mapped to the ground. When the battle starts, the camera rotates into a frontal view.

Guerilla radio

You think it'll be a straight remake with just the graphical changes, or will they attempt to modernize it?

i would had preferred full 3d instead. if i wanna play a 2d game i would just play the original. and the remake could be like that ps2 remake for dragon quest V where it's literally the snes game but with 3d models doing stupid looking shit like walking up ropes and walking in place bouncing up and down to indicate action. it looks stupid but it's earnest and endearing.

>>8287641
Honestly they should just keep the battles entirely first person. I have a bunch of issues with this meme 2D """"HD"""" style but the way the battles are presented are my biggest gripe right now.
>party is visible but you can't see them act in battle
What's the point? It's like a complete inverse of what DQ8 and 11 3DS did.

>>8285392
Yeah it's pretty based

>>8288690
I never liked frontal battle systems, they always look cheap. This perspective would have been OK.

>>8288674
One of the worst opinions I've ever heard in my fucking life.

>>8285209
>It looks absolutely amazing and you'll be able to turn off the bloom and post processing and DoF and anything else you don't like by editing the config settings.
DOF was a fucking mistake, compare these two Octopath Traveler screenshots

>>8291005
>>8285209
DOF Off.

i like how this remake look.
