Message: [QUOTE="nobitakun, post: 283424, member: 56864"] The other day I was talking with a friend exactly this. I told him that FF Pixel Remaster is a robbery and for them to charge 80€ all the games would have to be HD-2D style. Although I can be agree with you to some extent, I don't think Star Ocean was ruined at all. That game is my favourite Start Ocean by far and I found it enjoyable. It is true that the magic around the original game is kind of lost, specially thinking that game had antialiased sprites, which I don't know how Enix could accomplish that on PS1. On the other hand, Guilty Gear is not a good example. I am not a big fan of beat'em up games, but I actively disliked ANY 3D beat'em up only until Arc System Works showed me they can do 3D models with 2D gameplay. The first games released that way were kind of so-so because consoles weren't powerful enough to create models with millions of polygons, but nowadays that's a reality. And more and more 3D well executed anime games look like they were 2D, and part of its magic is recovered. Techniques to improve animation on 3D models to look alike 2D are growing, and they look wonderful if they are well implemented. 2D animations are expensive, and the more resolution you have the worse. I believe if the 4360p reality arrives to consoles someday (I hope to be dead by then), creating sprites that big will be a headache, specially if you have to do hundreds of animations. [/QUOTE]
