>muh blurriness!

Nostalgiafags pls go, the new version looks way better
By the way I played the original PS2 version when it came out.

2017 one looks better

Blur and fog aren't "art direction". It's called splattering the screen with as many filters as you can to hide the detail (or lack of) on the models.
It's only ever done to distract you from the low quality modeling.
This is why a lot of modern games are dark as all fuck.

sure you did

technological limitations produced the best art direction

if you think eidos ex looks better than ion storm deus ex you have no taste.

Are non millenials immune to art direction?
piss off

no, that's what happens when you have to sacrifice your freedom in order to receive higher-level education

If Team Ico gave a shit about hardware limitations when making SOTC, it wouldn't run at 15 fps

>if you think eidos ex looks better than ion storm deus ex you have no taste.
No idea what that is, I tend to avoid very high budget games so that may play a part.
Your argument isn't helped by the OP's image through.

I agree that art direction is far more important than graphical quality, but if the "art direction" is just fucking you up with as much screen, blur, lensflare and so on to hide what's beneath, then it doesn't look good at all. Because you can't see anything.

Fuck I knew the remake wouldn't match the atmosphere of the original but this is just depressing.

Yes and you will find that out very quickly in this very thread.

Why the fuck do they keep remaking this? Theres going to be another one for the ps5 isn't there?

The original is blurry because it's an upres, the coloring and bloom are meant to evoke a very dreamlike atmosphere. I wish I could play the original with higher res models, textures, and native resolution. The remake annihilated the original atmosphere which is half of what made the game so fantastic in the first place.

I did indeed. Sorry not everyone has nostalgia goggles strapped on all the time.

The 2011 one was just a straight port with slightly higher framerate and resolution, not a remake by any means.

so beautiful...fits perfectly with my totally useful 4k sony tv...

If you don't have nostalgia goggles, why are you defending a rehash?

Sure dude!
:^)

Get fucked Sup Forumstards, this shit is amazing.

Is this real? Jesus Christ why, it's supposed to be a foggy lake.

What the fuck did they do to Wander's face? He went from someone who is clearly in a scorned state of mind to just some sad crybaby.

Remakes are my least favourite type of game, the only one I think of that wasnt dogshit was the MGS HD collection

Did you miss the memo? Fog is used to hide UGLY and ICKY low-poly models, therefore it should be removed and berated by US GAMERS now :^)

...

It's a remake of one of the best games ever with modern graphics. That's pretty neat.
It's not nostalgia goggles to appreciate a great classic game, it's nostalgia goggles to pretend everything that is older is better just because it's older. Like saying the PS2 version looks better than this.

Are you trying to imply I'm some kid who doesn't know from SOTC? I was in high school when SOTC originally came out, I'm probably older than you.

Because Bluepoint went with the popular misinterpretation of the tone of the game

Another case of somebody taking a stylized artstyle and trying to "improve" it by making it more realistic.

Im not implying you are regular spoiled brat (because you are), im simply mocking your feeble atempts at "trolling".

He looks so much more determined on the left

REmake is the only good remake

...

>removes volumetric lighting
>adds lens flare
Amazing, what an improvement

It's an odd change too since all they have to fucking do is angle his eyebrows down a little and it's the same as the original. It doesn't add or change anything, it's just different for some reason. That doesn't bode well for a remake.

Unless I never played a game I'll never buy a remake. It's about as low effort as you can get creativity wise and it's getting extremely played out.

I love the metro games but the choice to remake the first game just a few years after its release was confusing.
The original was rough around the edges but it made it feel a lot like stalker, the lighting was very pretty, and everything just felt depressing.
When they remade it, everything was coated in lube and made very shiny, a shitload of lens affects were put in, and the gritty rough style was replaced with this ultra detailed and sterile environment.

It depends on whether it's just a lazy HD port or of it's an actual ground-up remake like pic related.

>dialogue went from hilarious schlock to boring schlock
>graphics don't look remotely as creepy or oppressive thanks to high rez graphics
REmake is worse.

The best remake of all time is Bionic Commando Rearmed (runners up are Metroid Zero Mission and AM2R).

...

>>graphics don't look remotely as creepy or oppressive thanks to high rez graphics
Shut the fuck up.

wow, this is horrendous

The way I see remakes is, fair game if its older than ps2/xbox, but otherwise that gen looks good enough, and for some games they rely on the lowres nature for its style, see: most horror games of the time.

Third rate devs, who were only hired because of how cheap they are, thinking that they understand artistic vision better than the people who created the game.
Remake is the only fucking remake that is arguably superior to the game being remade and only because the same creative minds were responsible for it.
Why don't people get this shit, stop supporting remakes/remasters that are made by the cheapest 3rd party studio a company can hire and only buy remasters that show the care that such an undertaking deserves.
But no, you fags can't help yourself because
>eww it's old
>muh graphics
>fuck artistic visions I need muh hd if I'm going to play a game
>I refuse to play old games

It's because they needed to do changes so they could justified being paid for the project.
It's shit because there was no direction, probably because nobody knew what a remaster of the game was even supposed to be.

But hey, gotta get paid.

>Remake is the only fucking remake that is arguably superior to the game being remade and only because the same creative minds were responsible for it.
Wrong. see

Im going to do this shit and nobody can stop me
vs
my feet hurt

Something is far less scary in 4k with an ultra detailed model, than a gritty image on the amazing black levels of a 480i crt

Truth hurts, huh? How about instead of making a counter-argument in your next post you call me a nostalgiafag?
RE4 is the best game in the series btw

Did you know that REmake is a Gamecube game?

I was referencing remakes in general dumby
Why would the gamecube have 4k?

Why did you reply to a conversation about REmake with some random irrelevant comment?

You act like the original had a good aesthetic to it in the first place. It didn't and the game was overrated.

Because your comment could also apply to other remakes in general

>remake the worst game in the series
>make it the best game in the series
God damn I love Oath

You're in the wrong, but. The art direction in Edios Desus Ex > Ion, what you're thinking of is Atmosphere, which is more than visuals. Ion btfo's Edios in that department.

>Nobody can truly think this objectively better looking version looks better
I swear you pretentious art fags going on about
>m-muh original vision!
Seriously, what do you want? Just don't get it. You should be happy more people will be able to play it.

>be happy they ruined something you like and more people will remember it in its butchered state

autism and nostalgia, what a terrific combination

You're not impressing anyone on this anonymous image board.

“I played original game therefore my opinion is better” Like we havent fucking played the original dork fuck

A big issue with a lot of HD remakes is that in HD remaking it a lot of art direction stuff gets fucked up
Like wanna know why there's all that fog and bloom in SOTC? To make the Collossi seem taller and more distant, like they're shrouded in fog. It also hides the textures, which are quite bad, and creates tension for a lot of the bossfights due to the game's incredible scope.

Shit like this happens all the time, like with Kiwami. No art direction improvements or changes.

Mankind Divided I can see, but the fucking piss filter and RIDICULOUS overuse of yellow in Human Revolution to me makes it far worse to look at than the original game. Wan Chai Market is a billion times more visually appealing than every area in Human Revolution.

They removed the piss filter in Director's Cut

holy shit i thought yakuza remakes were good

>they're already shilling it
youtube.com/watch?v=V4z8CDWXYt4

Hell I feel bad even linking this. Digital Foundry are such shills, and Bluepoint did a really shit job with this game.

I know right? People flipping out over cherry picked images.

Watch some comparison videos, the remake is cleary better.

They removed the yellow haze over everything but all the fucking objects and buildings and lights are UI are still yellow.

SOTC was shit, they should have remade Ico

>skin isn't even porcelain white anymore but now some fucking mutt brown

jesus christ

This was a fun game. Always wondered why people thought the Last Guardian would be any good though.

Overrated is quite an understatement. It's literally a 4/10 shit game that thrives on nothing but cinematic artsy shit.

It doesn't look better you tasteless faggot. It really doesn't.

...

Those fat cucks are NeoFAG posters. What do you expect? Sony is Sony.

>objectively better looking

>LITERALLY shilling Sony TVs for one minute in this video

Kek.

This might be the worst way to play the game from what we've seen. The cutscenes aren't as good, the art is butchered, the UI is worse, and apparently it's got more bugs. The colossi look worse.

The wanderer is cleary ment to be asian.

I just threw the video onto my 4k HDR screen and it looks like absolute fucking shit and this guy is shilling it so hard. It looks -okay- on my tiny 4:3 display downsampled.

>remake
>"""hd remaster"""

aka how much cash can we steal from everyone before they stop throwing cash at us

What's up with the disgusting camera in this game? Why is the character always in the bottom left or right corner?

Holy shit, it annoys me just watching it.

...

Holy fucking shit.

>no blurry fog
>WRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR GAME IS FUCKING RUINED
god, fuck right off. oh no, the dumb golems aren't blurred! oh the inhumanity!

it's pretty comfy on ps2/3 dunno about 4

It's incredible how much they managed to fuck this one up. I'm baffled.

The original devs went through a lot of shit to get the game running. The PS2 hardware was atrocious, its API had no support for anti-aliasing, godrays nor any other form of modern post-processing, they were on a tight fucking leash due to Sony Japan's lack of patience and had to make do with severely limited resources and time. The 'blurriness' you faggots complain about was the only way to make the game anything other than a pixelated mess due to its internal (not total) rendering resolution. It served both to smoothen performance AND to reduce aliasing at the same time. The resolution you're dealing with is so low for today's standards that the 'blurriness' it caused was actually better than a non-blurry, standard 640x480p resolution.

It's just retarded. They're messing with the purple-ish fantasy sky, they're messing with Wander's face and now they're messing with the areas as well. The area you fight Avion in is meant to be a foggy lake, not this dark edgy piece of shit. What's the point of making a remake of this caliber if you're not only going to ignore potential new stuff that could've been added (many of which were ALREADY DESIGNED, the map covered by clouds WAS ALREADY DONE and most of the unused colossi had ALREADY BEEN THOUGHT OUT) but also butcher the original game as well? Why even do this shit if you're going to butcher the fucking protagonist?

Before I was laughing at the 3rd's webm but this is actually infuriating. This is somehow worse than making a sequel to a masterpiece retconning shit and trying to milk money out of nostalgy. They could have improved or even added so much fucking shit but instead they choose to allocate resources and personal to fuck with what was already done.

This is like desecrating a corpse. Fuck this shit and fuck whoever supports this shit.

>killing collossi with bennet foddy

where is the rest of this image?

...

it is good
it's just one of the moments where it is bad

You fucking people are such fucking FAGGOTS.

>Hey guys, did you hear? Final Fantasy V is getting a remake!

we need Miyamoto to go in front of congress and demand an end to "the new vandalism" the way George Lucas did when TBS started buying up old movies to "colorize" them

I thought you faggots said the fog was missing. Not only is it still there, but it acts like real fog by keeping low.

Yeah nah. The comparison videos show several moments where the remake looks like shit, and I made those images and gone though like 20 minutes of the cutscenes comparing the visuals.

Remake looks worse, the 4th boss looks like fucking SHIT.
youtu.be/V4z8CDWXYt4?t=590
And the other bosses are worse too, all of them.
>swimming boss now has glowing shit
>flying boss has shit textures
>beard boss' lighting makes the entire area look like clay
I can go on.

>The virgin and Chad wanders

Did you know that Shadow of the Colossus has a photo filter mode that you can use to play with it IN THE GAME?
In other words: you can adjust your own hue, brightness, contrast, etc DURING THE ENTIRE GAME

If you are mad about the color not representing the original version you can fix in 2 minutes with the filter option

asians can have lighter colored skin
and it would have been trivial to change his skin color in the original if a darker tone was what they originally wanted

remakes look very clean, and probably controls better but the lack of fog does take away from the scale and mood of everything sadly
