Video game making is becoming a lost art.

[Anonymous No.9681178]

ReLoaded, and i don't mean the PC release from back in the day, but the version sold on Steam these days, which is a ROM of the Playstation version bundled with the EPSXe emulator and always online DRM tacked onto it, and they want $8 for it. This sort of makes it a port of a PSX game to PC, which was already ported to PC long ago.

it's like the scuffed and retarded version of an old DOS game being sold as just a copy of the original .exe and its files but with a preconfigured DOSBox, at least that shit doesn't have DRM on it.

It's because the first few people who made video games all came from a diverse background of other fields, and brought their expertise into a new media form.

Now they are all mostly retired/near-retiring and the new gen of developers are fags who as kids went I WANT TO MAEK VIDYA GAEM and didn't learn anything about art.

[Anonymous No.9681405]

>>9681249
That's my impression of it as well, the people going into video game making today go there for all the reasons except to make good or interesting games:

- they think it'll give them some clout on social media
- it was the only job available to them
- they played games as kids and wanted to make the same games not knowing what made them good
- they're artists who make generic sci-fi fantasy or capeshit garbage on Artstation that get hired
- they try to join big studios to just get high salaries and benefits with no passion whatsoever for games

I've seen lots of them like this, they join big studios, use tools like UE and pre-made assets that do everything for you and never get a say on how the game should go or look, the directors are usually some nepotistic wannabe filmmakers who've been at the company for at least 5 years and just want to suck up to Hollywood jews. This makes all modern games derivative, especially western ones. They look good on the surface due to modern graphics engines and lighting techniques but underneath they all play the same, they all have the same dynamics, the same pre-made movement, path finding and combat program, their UI and menus all look the same.

Then you have Japanese studios trying to emulate their Western counterparts and becoming graphics whores or shitting all over their original creations. See: Capcom, Squeenix.

As for these remakes/remasters the people making them are usually outsourced programmers and designers who never even touched the originals. Rarely do you get lucky and the original devs and directors come back to make a faithful modern remaster.

Not OP but the FF8 remaster is kind of bad, I played it. The backgrounds are blurry as fuck because they just resized them. No real upscaling.

Has there EVER been a remaster / port where pre-rendered assets were actually remade or re-rendered? I have never seen one.

Doesn't seem like it would be that expensive or difficult since 3D tools have become much simpler and faster, the actual art design is already all done and it would just be copying the exact same images from one single camera angle.

This would be easy if they kept the master assets. Typically there will be assets of that quality, more of less, that are rendered in high res, then they just downsample and antialias it to work in 240p. Sadly, everyone was retarded and did not think forward. Now everything has to be made from scratch or upscaled with the best LOOKIN GOOD machine learning technology of the now.

Hate to destroy your rant but it is 100% about the money and not disappearing talent.

For the first 30-40 years of gaming, developers mostly ran their own companies. Things like innovation, squeezing every ounce of of the hardware, and fun game design drove profits, which in turn increased competition for better games.

Now that the industry has matured and a modern AAA game takes millions of dollars to make, companies want safe profits. The decision makers (ie the execs) are far, far removed from the product they sell. What drives profit these days is addictive metagame mechanics (microtransactions, season passes, etc.) on a live service game with lots of potential for cosmetics sales. For core gameplay the safest bet is to just chase the latest trend and copy another hyper-succesful game. Hence the extremely repetitive string of similar games that come out each year.

In between live service games you can commodify nostalgia for your old IPs by remastering and porting them, preferably as cheaply as possible (ie using AI algorithms).

Most people who are making the games aren't twats but actually very overworked and under paid. Gaming is a brutal industry and most folks pray for a better career after a few years.

You didn't destroy my rant, in fact you corroborate with it.

Crunch culture has long been part of video game development, the people making today's games however are of a different breed. I've experienced it myself over the years in games where I was deeply involved with, the old guard left and new incompetent devs were hired to crash and burn the game trying to eek out as much money as they can before the player base got tired and left.

>your old IPs by remastering and porting them, preferably as cheaply as possible (ie using AI algorithms).
Like I said, these remasters are outsourced to cheap devs in Vietnam, Philippines, India etc. They're only used to release something for cheap and get the nostalgia money flowing. Gamers being the retarded consumers they are, always fall for it.

There's a huge difference between working overtime on a game you're invested in personally and working overtime because some suit forces you to, and he also makes all the calls, you're just a workforce with no creative input. That's the new thing in gaming, actual creators having no creative control and cunts in suits calling all the shots. In those conditions nobody wants to crunch, studios now go through fresh meat like a meat grinder, they know there're enough naive retards to abuse and they'll never run out of meat. Not how things used to be. Creatives used to be in control, crunching is fun when it's five friends crunching on their passion project together. When it's a 100 slaves who get the "if you don't work this weekend I'm afraid you're just not a good fit for our corporate culture" talk, it's not fun, people run from that as fast as they can. Hence you have all studios bleeding actual talent, filled up with clueless kids who don't know what they're in for.

We're in that stage with not just big budget videogames, but movies too. As said, always rehashing, never taking risks, following the carefully calculated formula to ensure maximum profit possible.
I wouldn't say that we're in a full Gray Goo scenario in terms of entertainment, because there's still some smaller dev houses, and an ocean of indie devs (even if most are mediocre or awful, there's a few good ones here and there).
There's also some modding communities and other homebrewing communities which are very much still alive and breathing in 2023.

Zoomers need to learn about how to not just pirate newer videogames, but also how to check out at least some older titles, as well as the value of personal computers (even if just as laptops). Not everyone, gatekeeping is done for a reason, standards are vital, BUT, there's many kids interested in the stuff which isn't just the big commercial mainstream, who are interested in old classics which were the progenitors or inspiration for not just indie games they like, but also the big budget ones they enjoy. Some simple see some e-celeb talk about or stream a game, and they actually go "Hey, that looks pretty cool, I want to try that out."

Young neophytes who take an interest in this stuff show up here and there, and they're not all some obnoxious cloutchasing attentionwhore, they're serious about it and want to learn (some actually adapt pretty quickly and even make valuable contributions to the community they join). I think we should try to cultivate this, because they'll some day be the future, carrying on the torch for the ideas and interests which we consider valuable for a reason. They won't all be just like us, times do change, for the good and for the bad, and the AAA gigants might just be permanent, but I think that some more serious sort of 'medium budget' indie scene could emerge one day.

There'll always be the normalfags, but we had those too, and they were as unimportant then as they are now.

Not when you start breaking it down. An artist on the team doesn't want to control the gameplay of it or the music of it but he does want to have a say in the final look of the game. Look at the credits for CT, 6 people made all the characters in the game. Now each one of those people must've felt massively important and their opinion must've counted for something.

It's *possible*... sure. But their workload is so high that it's not feasible.

Remasters (not Remakes) usually don't have the budget or time to remaster every single detail in the entire game from scratch. Developers have to choose what to focus on.

Remaking assets like pre-renders that are baked in (and the original files are gone), is a huge time cost that could potentially be better spent elsewhere like on new updated character models.

If a studio says developers have only 3 years to remaster a game (and the studio won't hire more than X amount of people to work on it), then that's all the Developer has to work with.

You got 3 years and a team of 30 people. That's it. Do what you can because the studio is releasing the remaster of Christmas 2026 no matter if you are done or not.

Besides, give pixel monkeys the opportunity, and they will add their own interpretations to the backgrounds, which is arguably more harmful to the end product for fans. The only good solution would have been to keep the source files, but storage was absurdly expensive and unreliable in the 90s.

It's not confirmed but it's believed this happened for RE Zero, the upscales there don't look like upscales, just higher quality renders, unlike REmake.

Also with FF8 and other games like it it's hard to remaster. Remasters come from specific elements. Framerate not tied to game speed (something Squeenix didn't bother to do at the time bc why would they), as well as keeping old assets, as well as just keeping the source code. Squeenix has none of these and still managed to do decent with FFVIII, and the better mods of VII and IX that fans have done is strictly due to them having years to figure out 60fps patches and the advent of AI upscaling, which weren't available at the times of these remasters. Or they were and they were abysmal.

Hopefully someone takes FFVII Remake's environments, takes screenshots from the right angle, and transplants them into the original engine, just to see how it looks

Here's the thing with whining about the RE4 Remake

You can just, play the RE4 retexturing project and get the best remaster ever made.

So there's no reason to hate on the remake being different, if I wanted to play the original, I'd play the original, it's not even out yet, stop complaining. When DMC5 got announced, and I hated on the visuals, it's because we had not gotten DMC in so long and it was such a departure from the original style, but we still get pretty faithful new entries in RE regularly, it's hard to argue with RE2 Remake, so this is just silly. Especially when paired with the RE4 texture mod being a thing.

Also, it might happen, this stuff really depends on if people want to make it and if they're capable of making it, but FFVII and VIII should have similar engines so there's a chance that some of the work that went into this mod could make a similar mod for VIII easier, but it gets a bit muddy since VIII usually has people playing on the Remastered version and the code might be a bit different.

Every time RE4 gets a port, something new is broken

GC –> Wii — Lower polygon count inventory items from PS2 port

Wii –> 360 — Broken and missing effects, bad mapping conversion for ALL the models of the game, missing sound reverb effect.

360 –> UHD — Animation and sound issues, black pickup screen, bad optimization with lots of performance issues in some computers

The PS4 version is just copy-paste of the “HD textures option” from PC Ultimate HD. Only a few extra character textures were improved for PS4/Xone.

Also some enemies behavior issues if I’m not mistaken. But I’m not sure in which port…

Still aside of resolution the GC/Wii are the best versions. It has the best color palette and lightning and have bloom to the fire effects.

Resident Evil 4 HD Project removes terrible looking PS2 version assets.

https://www.re4hd.com/?p=5281

>WEAPONS and other item MODELS: The models used for all post-Gamecube versions have less polygons than the original Gamecube version. It seems they kept (perhaps by accident?) the low-poly versions from the PS2 port of the game. I restored and even improved all of these models. There is a limitation with these models that crashes the game if the file size of certain files are larger than the original, but I found that there is some dispensable data that can be removed from the .bin files (the 3D models), and even entire .bin files that are unused in-game

Well, to be fair, that's executive talk. Suits say whatever fits the company's current vision. Remember when MvC4 was coming out and one of the producers said that they didn't add the X-Men because no one even remembered them anymore?
Remember when Blizzard said people requested classic servers but wouldn't actually play on them. And now, years later, the classic servers alone are still one of the biggest MMOs?
Keep in mind, a lot of games that are being revived are now selling better than before. Metroid Dread is the best selling game in the franchise. Mega Man 11 is the best selling Mega Man game. Every time we hear from game executives "people ask for X but don't really want it" it means that their investors don't want it.

I think sometimes it's true and it's certainly expensive to remake those games from scratch but it can be worth it if they make an effort to advertise remasters/remakes. There were people that said a FFVII remake wouldn't sell, I mean it's obviously stupid but they said it.

I don't think it's true, GoG and Steam have proven selling old games is a viable strategy. The switch to subscription services has much more to do with a general switch in the IT industry to SaaS

https://wl.vern.cc/wiki/Software_as_a_service

This is what every software company wants now, they don't sell you software, they license it to you as a subscription, this is also what we're seeing in film and TV, no more movie theatres or TV stations, just subscriptions services, it doesn't mean the old games aren't valued, it just means that their value is used to pad out otherwise empty subscription services. It should also be mentioned that those PS2 on PS4 games were kinda lazy and by now severely lacking behind what you can do with emulation. Look how much people get excited over Nintendo releasing Game Boy ROMs, people care, but the PS2 on PS4 program often wasn't the best games, and it wasn't enough games, and they also were sold at too high a price, and I don't often remember big sales.

Yup. That was my experience playing Resident Evil with a 3dFX card back in the nineties. 640x480 polygonal models, 320x240 backgrounds. I can't remember if they were filtered or you could see the pixels.

Final Fantasy VII for PC had non filtered backgrounds. I remember reading on magazines that FF VIII PC had improved on this issue, but it amounted to just one filter,. In fact, other than the VIII being compatible with more graphic cards, it was a still clusterfuck

- Maybe I failed to configure it, or maybe the yamaha XG midi solution from VII was not present, but it sound nothing like PSX (Sure, the AWE 64 was no Roland, but it could do better than what it was coming out)

- No support for analog controllers, even if you had a PSX to USB adapter. All the buttons are labelled as numbers, so it's impossible to know what you are pressing. Super fun for the summon button mashing.

Also, MGSHD altered the shot composition and cinematography. Whether you play with Full Screen or Letterbox cutscenes.
You cannot play in proper 4:3 with your console set to 4:3.
And the surround sound mix is borked in MGS2 (but MGS3 is fine).
Kojima Productions probably didn't have that much involvement in MGSHD but they should have had more involvement, especially from Kojima.
Another pet peeve of mine is that the HD Collection doesn't detect on whether you're playing on a Japanese or American PS3. The other MGS games on PS3 detect this so they can set the Circle as Confirm and X as Cancel in Japanese consoles.
But in MGSHD, the English version will have X as Confirm regardless on whether you're playing on an American or Japanese model.

This is off-putting for me, since O as Confirm was used for the PS2 versions, and I play the American discs on a Japanese PS3, which sets O as Confirm for MGS4 and MGSV.

No, it isn't. You can set up the game to look better than this with Duckstation and five minutes, and Duckstation is fucking free, runs on a smartphone, and wasn't made by a multi-million dollar company.

Is Okami's problem just that it forces you to have Steam to use a controller?

The knife doesn't hit enemies multiple times, but it does hit locks multiple times at 60fps.
Some people claim enemies are more aggressive at 60fps, but I haven't seen definitive proof of that yet. Wouldn't surprise me, though.

Squeenix needs to use AI to upscale their assets properly.
Pay the original artists to come in and make sure it's done right.

FF8's "remaster" was hilarious

[Anonymous No.9697309]

the remasters are not for old gamers.
They where made for the zoomers, and therefore quality doesnt matter.

They hated him because he told the truth.

I still remember the day the Japanese studio I was working with got the fateful call from Sony that they were gonna start having Americans censor the games "for a global audience". The company straight up died that day. Every company has something like pic related now and no one likes it but they still have to do it.

Sometimes I lie awake trying to figure out the best way to bring the old magic back. Japan still has the people for it; even the younger devs in the company are talented and driven. Something has to be possible for me to do.

It looks technically better, in both senses of the word. Yes, the resolution is higher. It also looks far more generic. I'd believe you if you said this was a special PD Fornite event.

But it's not a matter of where you sell it. You can sell non-woke games on Steam. It's a matter of how the libtards speak about it to the normies. If a bunch of normies who watch the intro sequence of a game and uninstall it (after buying the $99 ultimate edition) see that your game isn't diverse enough, is problematic, or whatever; they won't want to buy it. That's what developers are selling to now, because there's more normies than nerds. Fuck making a good game when you can validate a retard's political stance with a shitty game and make more money.

Selling outside of Steam is pointless, as it's reasonably free speech centric (barring loli porn games).
