you straight up cannot beat pokemon presents for the ratio of fake to real announcements. miyamoto keeps trying as he makes more movies but "fake gb carts that play one pokemon ost cut at a time" and "pokemon sleep has new missions" just proves you cannot dethrone the true goat

Starters are only truly worthy of judging when the Final Evolutions get shown; we know this

(and also we know that Nintendo games never drop in price)

Think people can be real jackasses about shit like this in assuming bad faith with "THE WEST IS RUINING OUR BELOVED PURE NIPPON" mindsets?

They collaborated extensively with then Japan Studio on trying to fully realize concept art ideas. It didn't always work but they shouldn't be chided for it.

It's a shame Bluepoint's actual best skill (technical process and optimization) would've been wasted away like Rocksteady's on Suicide Squad.

Remakes will keep coming out but many run poorly (ex. MGS3 Delta), meanwhile Bluepoint had a great in-house engine set to be thrown to the flames forever.πŸ™

Majority of the artistic changes in the SotC remake were "Old Man Yells At Cloud" pedantic shit that didn't affect the mood at large. Reading behind the scenes the Demon's Souls one is more "we interpreted the concept art as literal as possible," not that they hated the original art or Japan at all.

This was 100% a case of basing off of the concept art more than the game model, not some idea that they secretly hated Japan by "Thing Japan"-ass weebs

The changes here are present, but also still close enough spiritually to not feel like the meaning is being lost. It helps that unlike Demon’s Souls the actual character construction was kept unchanged.

I don’t think anyone is being lost of the experience playing the smoother remake first overall.

They had an impressive talent for fidelity and fluidity in a time where every other big AAA game is unable to hold a steady FPS at launch and any work in their in-house engine is kaput now.

I feel bad for the engineers put in a place none of that matters bc the core GAAS principle undermines it.

The framerate was also very impressive compared to how poorly the original held itself so it’s undeniably the less stuttered game. It helps that the game is very minimalist so most of the changes don’t feel AS stylistically excessive as the other ones.

SotC is a bit more interpretive and most of its changes are more to personal taste and don’t ruin the experience, very β€œOld Man Yells at Cloud”

This feels more like a β€œRocksteady on Suicide Squad” issue of completely misreading their actual talent (impressive optimization) for a sinking ship.

Armature Studio - Wikipedia

It happened with Armature. Once they were acquired by Meta they died before shipping a single game

I think Kristen Bell hits a good balance of β€œname normal movie people easily recognize on the poster” and β€œcelebrity with experience voice acting multiple times over”, hell it’s her most famous role as Anna from Frozen.

I like Kimiko but she isn’t a household name as easily for people. This is Amy:

That literally decides the game that’s not ticky-tacky and saying it is is blaming the wrong thing

Bills deserve the L for all of the turnovers though.

Season 1 was 100% the worst season for me; it was still being a wannabe GOT for a bit there and Season 4 culminated a lot of the character stories greatly (tho I prefer S3)

Crazy that you could draw a straight line out from Sonic 1 all the way to Shadow 05 and then after that every game felt like it existed in a vacuum or with *one* other sequel (Rush to Rush Adventure, Riders to Zero Gravity, even Colors leads into Generations with a flashback) until Frontiers.

A huge collaboration of 5 Rosalina in different outfits I’ve drawn

Middle bottom is classic Rosalina closing her eyes and having her hands over her chest, she’s also very sparkly.

Bottom right is racer Rosalina looking at the viewer and waving. 

Bottom left is chef Rosalina with yellow luma showcasing a starbit cake.

Top left is Aurora Rosalina admiring some blue sparkles next to her while in a starry Aurora night sky background.

Top right is beach Rosalina with star shaped popsicle and Polari also there wearing star shaped sunglasses; both in a beach background with palm trees and clouds

people will unironically say KH3 has worse disney worlds than the previous games, like any previous game could dream of connecting this directly back to the main plot

More remakes should make these kinds of changes. Objectively improving the flow of the experience without taking away any part of the actual design
