I googled what the original movie prop looked like for comparison, and was surprised to find how often fans have actually tried to replicate the game, to varying degrees of success. Then again considering the movie’s popularity, I shouldn’t have been.
I know this post is old but it was linked in the sidebar so: why on earth isn’t Curse at nr. 1? And why did you use that god-awful Deviantart trace of the intro instead of an official screenshot?
and I’m probably just reading into those.
You literally have no idea about graphics in any way, shape or form, do you? You heard some stuff and extrapolated things from it that you have no business talking about.
...You have absolutely no clue what you’re even saying.
Well look at mr sourpuss over here.
This is 90s as fuck. I love it.
The Shakespearean influences in the game are clear, and hold up no matter what, but the game’s blurry fusion of pixels and polygons don’t .
Well, I do think there are elements that look good, like the characters themselves. And a lot of the individual art assets are clearly competently made. Just the way they’re put together... somehow I doubt there’s going to be significant improvement there. These days developers/publishers don’t often put out blatantly…
Nostalgia aside, SD3 was better in every single way. Compared to it, SD2/SoM looks visually amateurish, the music isn’t half as good and sounds like a hodgepodge of random nonsense, the story is half-assed, the combat is terrible and buggy, etc.
I really am getting tired of people confusing simplicity with bad quality, or trying to excuse bad quality by calling it “simple”.
Hahahaha are you completely serious? Just look at it! It doesn’t matter how “crisp” you think the textures are, if the tiling is so repetitive and the lighting barely present. Hell even the minimap of the castle looks better, it has better shadows and color contrast even though it’s just pixel art.
Valve can go fuck themselves.
Lol get outta here with your “objectively”. Texture resolution and polycount might be similar, but art wise, any PS2 game that looked like that tiger boss arena would have been a shitty looking PS2 game.
It looks worse than PS2/GC. Look at the screenshot with the tiger boss. That arena looks positively shitty. More like an upscaled PS1 game.
Hey, proper animation! That looks amazing in comparison to the old mini episodes they did:
This is VR in a nutshell though isn’t it? Just standing around doing random crap that’s more like work than anything.
I like this troll post, it’s very subtle.
