I really, really hope this turns out good but I can't help but picture how bad they could fuck it up. The original's art direction is timeless and holds up amazingly in high resolutions but I can just imagine some retard in a board room somewhere demanding they make it "realistic" to "show off" the "PS4's power". Hell, you can already see this a bit with Wander's more natural look.
Please, please don't fuck this up.
Why are Japanese developers making more remakes than actual content? Hell, new IPs? And why full price?
Squeenix fucking ruined a great series with Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Look at what they're doing with FFVII remake, it will be 3 separate games at least.

Japanese material is dying along with its native populous. Gone are the creative minds. Or they gtfo of there. Every year or so there is one diamond in the rough that shines.

I swear to god if they change the soundtrack even by a single tune I will drop this faster than Nintendo the Wii U.

>people think this is going to be 1:1 recreation of the auteur work of art that was the original

Just emulate it

Guess I'll stick with emulating PS2.
you actually like 15fps, blurry, jagged textures?
>>380386353
The PS3 version already fixes that, and it's better than bland as fuck visuals anyway.
I think we've seen enough of it to decide if they ruined the art direction and atmosphere, seems fine. The only area they didn't really show is the 4th colossi's area, since its a bit green and will probably be more lush.
I actually think the flying ones could be really good with better visuals, especially the 5th colossi.
Is it going to be full price?
>>380386691
The colossi look good, but I don't think we've seen enough of the environments and especially of the human characters which they almost specifically avoided showing. I don't want the unique artstyle to be replaced with realistic skin shaders and whatnot.

It is a mystery, but probably not. Ratchet & Clank wasn't.

Doesn't make me feel better, since that was a western developer.
The past couple of years it has become trendy for Japanese studios to release remakes at full price.
>>380384520
The cry for original IPs is baffling.
I'd only want to stop seeing sequels if the concept is devoid of freshness. It's a lot easier to meet expectations by taking something and refining it than it is to craft something from nothing.
>>380384104
Wander looks off. He should be paler than that.
>>380387958
I don't want to stop seeing sequels, where did I say that? I just don't want new IPs to cease or become rare, what kind of normal person doesn't want new content or fresh minds?
Also, you didn't mention the remake trend.

there are the 3 most important things that they cannot change in this game, the music, the controls and the dark artstyle
These 3 things are fundamental to telling the story of the game

Are they going to remake the OST? It had better be faithful

the yakuza remake coming this year isn't full price

Don't worry. You can hear Dormin speak gibberish in the trailer.
