Some people not familiar with games might think the issue is overblown and the result of a vocal minority of zealots.
How would you feel about a 4K colorized version Citizen Kane?
The issue here is that these games are supposed to be a reissuing of the original games, with some small tweaks. People are often fine with that. The case of the Dragon Quest III remake and the 2D+3D simultaneous versions of DQ XI show that the exact same audience is fine with fully upgraded (or even downgraded) games.
However, this in-between situation is frustrating. Is doesn’t help that Square Enid keeps on trying over and over with every version being the definitive one.
- rincebrain 5y agoI was disagreeing with one or two people I know over this point. I think they look nice, nontrivial edits and all, and might even buy them, though I'm still in the air about it. But don't advertise your remasters as "pixel-perfect" then redesign decent chunks of the sprites, especially when you're releasing these as an "our bad" after remasters which looked like Flash games on non-mobile platforms. Unlike some people, I would not mind if they were just making some minor tweaks because CRTs look drastically different. But from the limited examples we have, it looks like this is not that.
