so we have more footage, and this shows without a doubt how bad and lazy this port/remaster/whatever you want to call it. If you can look me straight in the eyes and tell me that doesn't look atrocious I will safely say you're blinded by fanboyism. Yes it was fine in 2006. This isn't 2006. It's just higher res textures nothing more, nothing less and jarring polygons make you want to cry.

there is some more footage, all I can ask is why it just seems like wasted resources (though its probably only costing them maybe $500k and even thats a bit generous)
yes I know sony and ms have been doing this for years, thats not really an excuse, if its bad its bad lol

As a person who still plays games from Saturn,PS1,N64 days. Eh I am fine with it' It's a 10 year old game in HD and all one should expect. Most PS2 games look worse in HD so whatever. Game is good anyway and point still gets across in story so it still serves it's purpose.

I can get past them using the same models I guess, but I cannot get past those ugly faces... look at Collin and Lila. (Especially Collin, I think his eyes are melting off)

I think some peoples expectations were way overboard. Art style is holding this game back, I would say it certainly could of used updated models but that was never in the cards. Small port team ( Tantalus ) and pretty much the same sort of work that went into Wind Waker has gone into here, this time amiibo as well.

 

Overhauling all of the models is a daunting task all by itself. Aside from the models, the texture work is good imo.

It's not like it's a complete remake. . .

sad part is, I knew exactly what to expect since I knew this was the same thing with wind waker. Its just a game where it needed an actual remake. I like old games as much as the next guy but its like releasing episode 4 of star wars in 2016. By today standards its pretty bad (lets assuming it never came out before)
Everything I'm saying I've already said though, so I'm just beating a dead horse at this point.

But wind waker HD was amazing.

But wind waker HD was amazing.

exactly, because the art style is timeless. Since is trying to be "real" without a remake, it just falls on its face

Eh, everything but the geometry and lighting looks great.

which is 2/3 of what you see lol

Eh, as long as it's not buggy I'm happy. I've watched the videos and I still don't see what the problem is. Yes, there are games that look nicer than it. But this is still a decent game. Complaining about it won't do much, except maybe reducing the launch price (I'll admit I won't pay 75 Canuckistan Pesos for this)

Yeah but that last third is some good textures.

complaining about meaningless things to other people on the internet is the only way I can feel better about myself....duh

I never finished the original because it was so blurry that it hurt my eyes. Looking forward to this!
