/vr/ - Retro Games

>>8436003
Only the ones that are /vr/ in their own right.

None. Even a perfect and utterly flawless improvement could fill a hate thread. Around 50% of posters are just husks, here to be ornery and dislike things. Those people are already here because hating modern games makes them cooler, unlike the rest of us who simply like older games.

The new block physics are an improvement.

>>8436003
I like the Dragon Quest remakes on DS.

>>8436034
>censoring the impressive green fireball in Toad Houses
Cringe

>>8436003
I completely agree with you on HeartGold and SoulSilver. Probably my favorite Pokemon games overall.
All of the Dragon Quest remakes on GBC and SNES are great. I haven't tried the remakes of VII and VIII but they're supposed to be real good, although the remake of VII cuts out the intro from the original if I'm not mistaken.

If a game is good enough to deserve a remake, it generally doesn't need it.

>>8436003
metroid zero mission
bionic commando rearmed
dunno if this counts as a remake but blaster master zero

>>8436003
>Wild Guns Reloaded
>Ninja Warriors Once Again
Pocky & Rocky Reshrined will likely follow suit.

OoT 3D

>>8436168
I agree, it looks sick.

>>8436198
What about Majora's Mask 3D?

>>8436209
>>8436168
I think these games are done with some key original staff like artists and designers. I like how they treat the artwork with such care. They run on Unity though so there's some annoyances with latency.

>>8436003
Ones made before 2006

>>8436229
sure, it has great qol for first timers and added challenge for returners

>>8436237
The Natsume staff who made the remakes and their original versions knows they may not all be around much longer, so they're finishing up with Pocky & Rocky while they still can. That is dedication.

>>8436229
No

Any remake that gives you the original version included is basically a 10/10 remake by default

Super Mario Advance is better than both the original smbusa and the All-stars version

>>8436229
they fucked up the zora swimming iirc

>>8436015
>RE1 remake
God tier. Perfectly done. What all remakes should strive to be
(No company ever even attempted to learn from this, however, and don't even try to do what RE1 proved works)

>RE2 remake
A good gameplay, but automatically bullshit because it's a third person shooter, and not fixed camera with tank controls, like RE1 remake. Also, removed content, and no additional areas. Again, unlike RE1 remake.

>RE3 remake
Somehow the worst of the 3. Entire sections removed from the game, to the point where CANON STORE SEGMENTS are removed. Nemesis has even less of a presence compared to the original. Again, a 3rd person shooter instead of fixed camera and tank controls. Character designs and outfits heavily altered. Jill Valentine in RE1 remake was perfected by using model Julia Voth as the face. RE3 remake uses a new, inferior actress. Jill's outfit resembles absolutely nothing of what she wore in RE3. Regulated to DLC.


HOLY FUCK The RE2 and 3 remakes make me so fucking angry.

>>8436414
t. first time he ever played an RE game was the REmake in 2016 on a PS4

>>8436031
I know just the board for you, and you should go there and stay there.

>>8436003
The REmakes are approved, I'm sure.

>>8436421
Uh, no? I'm likely twice your age. I was already done with college before the PS4 was even announced.

>>8436451
you're 62?

REmake
REmake 2
Crash Trilogy
CTR Nitro Fueled
Zero Mission

>>8436453
Then we're the same age and you're just REALLY stupid

>>8436460
>Crash Trilogy
Is this actually good? I've never played the originals or the remakes, but everyone here seems to hate it

>>8436492
trilogy is meh at best, it plays worse in every way. CTR remake is indeed very good.

>t. anon who 100%'d all 4 games

>>8436492
It's really good and faithful, I guess some people don't like how modern Crash looks but IMO there was no other way to do it without making him look weird as fuck. I've also heard it play somewhat differently when it comes to movement but I didn't notice it. There are some neat additions, like being able to play as Coco in Crash 1.

>>8436516
Completely fucked up the jump physics for the first two.

>>8436414
Faggot,re1 remake is worst than original re in everything but graphics.

>>8436393
Zoomer contrarianism.

>>8436743
Let me guess, you also want to tell my Twin Snakes is SUPERIOR to the PS1 version, right? You fucking contrarian.

>>8436414
Claire looks like an ugly crack addict in the remake of 2, so it’s automatically a 0

>>8436781
No theres yet to be a remake thats superior to the original.

>>8436776
How is it contrarianism? How about you refute it instead of throwing buzzwords at me.

>>8436802
Obvious contrarianism. The port of all-stars, a shitty remake, to GBA washing out the colors, isnt suddenly the best version of SMB when its just an inferior port of a severely inferior remake.

FF Origins is the only one I approve.

>>8436429
You are not welcome or wanted, crossboarder. No one finds you interesting for hating things. This is our hobby, not just a fucking contrarion opinion to lodge in your personality made solely out of them. Leave anytime.

>>8436797

>>8436910
I love how they got the voice actors for Scrooge and Magicka from the cartoon to reprise their roles.

>>8436932
I’m sure they were both 90+ when they did it too. Magicka’s voice actress was probably 95-ish when she recorded her lines which is pretty crazy. Can’t think of many actors that old who still work, Betty White not withstanding.

>>8436905
There's no point wasting your time, at least half the board, probably way more are just /v/ migrants who played a SNES jrpg or RE game or something and don't even like old games. Hell there's an entire thread asking why the posters here like retro games, and 99% of the posts are just "I don't like modern games." instead of actually talking about why they like old ones.
Just miserable cunts who have no personality, or social skills and don't know how to waste their time away doing anything but playing games and hating things.

>>8436836
The colors don't look washed out on a real GBA screen or with color correction, and I think the new gameplay mechanics in the GBA version make the game more fun and interesting to play. I'd rather play it over the NES version.

>>8436836
You obviously haven't even played the GBA version if you think it's just a port of the All-stars remake with no changes to it.

Christian Whitehead's Sonic remakes

>>8436229
MASSIVE downgrade. Nintendo didn't want to make it and it shows.

>>8436905
The guy you were replying to is right. If you want remaster tranny games, go back to /v/ and stay there, faggot.

>>8437343
This

It’s a reimagining, but Shadows of Valentia makes Gaiden into an enjoyable game.

>>8436945
the original Scrooge and Magica died :(

>>8436003
I enjoyed these:
>FireRed/LeafGreen
>REmake
>Shining Force, GBA
>Shadow Warrior (though it's quite flawed)
>Super Castlevania
>parts of Super Mario All-Stars
>DuckTales
>Final Fantasy 1, GBA
>Metroid Zero Mission
>Shadowgate (if you count the NES game as a remake, arguably it's more of a port)

>>8436003
Best pokemon games ShitFreak could poop out in their prime. They have soul unlike SwShit. However even as my favorite games, they're still lacking for a super pokeautist like myself. I may or may not be nitpicking but here's the changes I would have done:
>Make the initial gym battles/Elite4/Lance harder with switched up teams. Red can have the same team, but with better movesets and held items. Also make regular trainer battles have stronger pokemon and moves. I do not want to fight some lv 20 Rattata at the 7th gym.
>Better distribution of Generation II pokemon to the Johto portion of the game.
>Revamps (akin to Drayano) of the Generation II pokemon that are outclassed or have low stats like Ledian, Ariados, Unown, Delibird, Corsola, Girafarig, Lanturn (good in-game but still has mediocre stats outside of HP), Stantler, Sunflora, Magcargo, Jumpluff, Smeargle, Noctowl, Furret. It's a remake of their games after all. Why not update their stats to be decent? Or at least usable. Give them better abilities and movepools too.

>>8438921
Also make Lugia, Ho-Oh NON-MANDATORY. FUCK YOU KIMONO GIRLS I WANT TO GO TO THE LEAGUE NOT HANG OUT IN THE WHIRL ISLANDS

>>8436229
HAHAHAHA they ruined all the boss fights with ugly hit the eye weak point shit that plagues other Zelda games

>>8438921
>>8438928
autism

Test clone

>>8438952
Not really. Stat buffs to outdated pokemon, changing up the piss easy gyms, and fixing the pokemon distribution is far from autism. They're valid criticisms of the vanilla game. Otherwise HGSS would be the perfect pokemon game.

>>8436414
RE2 remake was still pretty great even though it lacked a proper 2nd scenario. First couple of hours are the strongest. RE3 I haven't played since beating it a year and a half ago. It's by far the worst of the 3 remakes, but it's still not bad. Still, it's disappointing they didn't make RE3 remake's map as open-ended as the original.

I find it funny that Mr. X is more recognized in RE2 remake and has a stronger presence than Nemesis.

>>8436198
Absolutely not. Disgusting graphics

>>8436414
RE3 Jill mogs all previous Jills to an insane level
RE3 Jill literally mogs her own face actress irl

>on /vr/
>wanting to play crash remakes
Just, why??? Crash 1-3 look so good and they absolutely hold up today, you can upscale it or whatever if you really need more pixels. My philosophy is you should play the version that made the game iconic, not some rehash of it all twenty years later.
I guess it's better than buying the Mario 3-game port for Switch, but barely. It's still a low iq move.

>>8436414
Based Beetle poster

Hitman Contracts isn't a direct remake of Codename 47, but half of it consists of remade levels from that game, except that they're actually in a good game this time.

>>8439490
I have no idea what the fuck any of this means

Mog-station? Transmogrify? Mongoloid?

>>8439627
I do like how it's raining in every level, because it is raining in the hotel while 47 is having the flashbacks, so it's like reality is seeping into the memories, I thought it was a nice touch.

>>8439490
Why do blacks have such shit taste?

>>8439985
>Americans ranting about blacks
literally the pot calling the kettle a nignog

>>8436003
if a game gets a remake it's because it was good. and following the logic that games don't age, every remake is pointless

>>8439470
*good graphics **the best

>>8440029
Remakes are a litmus test for the talent of the director and dev team in general, they are 100% of the time just mandated by the publisher to make money out of an IP but there's not too much preventing it to be original considering how little of a fuck most suits give about videogames. I personally have a soft spot for remakes like Zero Mission, FF IV DS, catlevania 4 and crash team racing where the original is more like a backbone to the remake and it holds up as a pretty good game on its own, companies will always be greedy fucks so it's cool that something respectable can come out of it once in a while.

>>8439470
I will forever give it the benefit of the doubt as long as it's stuck on the 3DS, besides some questionable decisions that don't have anything to do with the lightning of course

Better than the original inb4 seething sonycucks still salty this was exclusive to gamecube.

>>8436408
>doesn't that patch fix it?

Objectively superior to the original

>>8441394
Reminder that Cave Story is a free game.

>>8441394
i bought the steam one after pirating it a few times, what's that one change?

>>8441236
>this shit is good because it's on my nintendo toybox (tm)

>>8441589
Not the guy who posted that, it may be an inferior remaster but it would have worked fine on PS2 or something and looked almost like MGS2

>>8436003
There's always someone that doesn't like a given remake, but the closest I've noticed to having universal praise is Zero Mission, and I suspect half the reason is because it includes NES Metroid (although Metroid Prime arguably did it better).
>>8436152
>dunno if this counts as a remake but blaster master zero
Eh, not really. The nostalgic first Area is 1:1 but the rest of the game has mostly different layouts, themes, and some boss encounters. It's a soft reboot. If you've played the trilogy, it becomes pretty apparent that it's the true sequel to MetaFight, which the devs have been hinting at since at least Zero 2; older Blaster Master sequels that continue off the western localization now seem to be either part of its own discontinued continuity or are heavily retconned in some form.

>>8441769
Blaster Master has historically been a mess of localizations.
>Original Metafight is about fighting off an alien invasion in a hi-tech tank
>In the US as Blaster Master, it gets changed to a boy looking for his missing frog underground
>Someone makes a novelization of Blaster Master and heavily expands on the story, most notably with introducing Eve as the secondary heroine
>Someone in Japan liked the novelization so much that he makes a PS1 sequel based on it, with also a brief tie-in to the shitty Genesis sequel
>Other games flip-flop between following the continuity of Metafight or Blaster Master, making it even more confusing
Leave it to IntiCreates to make something actually coherent out of all this mess.

>>8436003
>What remakes are /vr/ approved?
FireRed/LeafGreen as well.

>>8436003
Not those

>>8441941
I love those. The Pokedex in that game is so well presented.

Cannot wait for SGSSv2. Too bad Drayano's been lazing around

>>8441941
FRLG are not even /vp/ approved

>>8440029
If a game is good, that doesn't mean it was perfect. If a remake removes or improves negative aspects of the original, it's worth playing.

>>8442165
/vp/ is a divisive board full of differing opinions, you got Joe Merrick/Nu-Pokemon shills, tons of discord raiders looking to start genwars between 1-7 to distract people from shitting on SwShit/BDSM/PissLA., and very few actual old school pokemon fans left.

>>8442165
ok. lol.

>>8441576
everything's in 3D and it has a remixed soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky.
Also removed Curly Brace and Boss Rush mode

>>8442258
>PissLA
forced and cringe

>>8442165
who give a fuck ! shit!

>>8442484
Okay? Regardless my point is the new games are shit and their shills are rabid

>>8442165
So fucking what? /vp/ is preoccupied with breeder autism, who the fuck cares about their opinions?
