Spyro doesn't hold up, people might fault the remake for being unfaithful and unfun but the original games themselves weren't as good as your then-developing brain made you believe.

>> No.8517747

1998 was better than 2018 for sure. It was arguably the greatest year in the history of video games and smack in the middle of the best era of gaming.

This image is retarded but it illustrates one important thing the remake dropped. The original artists paid a ton of attention to readability so things didn't blend together. You can tell immediately where to go in the original but in the remake it's harder and I can't even see the cave at all.

No, I agree. I want a video game to look like a video game. Modern 3D just looks too "good" and it breaks my immersion. It's kind of uncanny valley. Low poly stuff is cute and has a deeply artistic appeal.

Art is never meant to look realistic. The best paintings to me look more unrealistic. It's what the brushstrokes represent and how they skillfully convey it, not how detailed the characters are.

>> No.8518297

>>8518296
We have "realistic" art, it's called photography. Yet people still enjoy paintings. So there must be something to this.

>>8518296
Would a higher level of detail make this painting better? I don't think so. What the artist can show with less is more impressive. It allows our mind to fill the gaps. Feelings are fuzzy, like a dream. "Detail" is literally soulless reproduction without artistic feeling.

This isn't a matter of personal taste. The remake lacks art direction and a unique vision, period. If you like the remake, it's because you are an unironic pleb.

I really don't like what they did with this. It makes me kind of sad to look at. It's people who make games purely for money creating a game how they think a game with soul should look like. They can't.

the remake doesnt even get the basics of a platformer right which is strict visual clarity regarding what is a meaningful surface and what isnt. i hate those new mountains.
