D/P remakes
gen 3 but especially gen 4 and 5 are my favourite pokemon gens so I was kinda curious what would happen with D/P remakes.
I've got to say
D/P remakes look like hot garbage!
I absolutely hate the chibi looks. it looked cool in them 2d sprites. It's also a shame that it seems to be the base game remakes as in not the superior platinum that added a hell lot of stuff. Base D/P had an unfinished story and a less enjoyable journey aswell.
platinum has some of the best postgame in a pokemon game, I'd rank it shared 3rd with emerald only below HGSS and BW2. Postgame in a pokemon game is what seperates the godlike pokemon games from the rest. it's such a shame that it's going to be a remake of the base games since D/P are some of the weaker entries in the series.
I really don't see any reason to get this game if you don't like the art style
Platinum has the timeless 2d sprites at it's peak while having a better story more content the better characters the battle frontier etc. maybe they'll add platinum content however platinum content was during the main story aswell. still though legit content wise these remakes might be getting less content than even oras wich was inferior to emerald aswell by a long shot.
On the otherhand maybe it's for the best looker in chibi 3d would look horrible. don't do my man dirty ilcas one of my favourite pokemon side characters.

I really hope games like radiant historia or chrono trigger will never be made in cutesy 3d chibi style would be give me nightmares for at least a couple of weeks if I'm being honest. potentially a worse fate than let's go goddamm they did gen 4 remakes dirty
if only they did a remake in either gen 5 ds style grapics wich was slightly improved over gen 4 or octopath travel grapics if they where going for a stylistic choice with gen 4 remakes.
Pokemon LegendsI have to say was expecting a sword & shield esk gen 4 remakes but this game. an openworld pokemon game. sure it looks rough around the edges atm but the concept and them actually going of the original foruma Im excited. The chibi gen 4 remakes look horrible but this game makes me forget that game. like who needs gen 4 remakes with this game it doesn't even exist anymore for all that I care.
BOTW ran like garbage in the first few weeks of release. frame rate issues will most likely get fixed this seems like an early build.
Pokemon legends stole the show by far imo. Animations look far better than in sword & shield I'm really curious what the end result will be. Gamefreak is actually improving never thought I'd see the day especially considering let's go and sword & shield happened. aside from gen 6 and 7 not being to hot either.
Pokemon direct was well beyond my expectations, expected something bad yet they showed a game that goes off the regular formula with interesting looks and tons of potential. My man god arceus finally getting a notable role in a pokemon game again
has been forever since conquest also a feudal japan pokemon game ironicly
Props to gamefreak, pokemon had rainy days since gen 6 days but I'm finally seeing some potential rays of sunlight.
Pokemon snap is great. was a fun side game but pokemon has had far far better spinoffs than the n64 picture game I'd say
Pokemon ranger, conquest, xd gale of darkness and mystery dungeon are the stars if where talking spinoffs
I'd probably only buy legends on release I'm willing to give GF a shot, not to hungry for snap but down the line I'll try and get it. glad for the pokemon snap fans though.
New Pokémon Snap is something I would like to play but I do not see where the $60 value is reflected. It's pretty much like the original game without much of a difference and not the best looking graphics. The original game is valued at about $10 in Nintendo's eyes so I don't see what makes this one $50 better...
while it might have simular gameplay compared to the n64 game. it's made from scratch with totally different mons and enviroments lvl's. that's like saying link's awakening in chibi grapics should be 10$ aswell just because the art style is different.
Still in this case it won't have the same lvl's like link's awakening for the most part so it's actually more work in that aspect.
It's pokemon snap with new lvl's new pokemon just the same gameplay.
With that logic you could say why is the new smash or mario kart 60$ gameplay is the same with some things swapped up. just new lvl's and items
Creating a sequel from scratch costs money just because it has simular gameplay doesn't mean it's not worth it's price that's what a sequel is supposed to be after all. people play the games because they liked prior instalments. and they'd like to see sequels with improvements grapics wise and expanded gameplay.
like legit especially if where talking casuals. most won't see the differences in smash and mario kart aside from the grapics with each release. on the grander scale it is the same formula. especially in party play with items. only the core players will usually notice the differences beyond grapics new characters and stages.
Things being worth 60$ will depend on the person subjective. personally I'm of the opinion that a game doesn't need to last 50+ hours to be worth 60$ plenty of games that are shorter while enjoyable. 3d mario for example. you'll finish most of them below 50 hours but they are definitely worth 60$ I'd say. Pokemon snap will be worth 60$ for people who wanted a sequel of the originals for people who want to play more pokemon snap but in the current era with updated grapics new lvl's and the new mons.
I mean stuff like the last of us is pretty much a movie with little gameplay only 15ish hours? why should that be worth 60$. again different games are made and depending on the person the experience will be worth 60$. you can't discredit a game for having simular gameplay when it's made from scratch with new content.
are megaman X 1 2 3 4 5 6 a joke? same for classic megaman literally the same thing. having simular gameplay isn't a bad thing that's why fans buy the game again. new lvl's and challenges.
