Fucking ruined
That looks awful. It may be an improvement but it's not better at all.
>>321917275
what game?
second looks way better in my opinion. that said, the actual character sprite's idle animation looks awful, but the environment looks good.
the second is objectively better
>>321919363
>>321919784
The game went from looking like an actual NES game to some shitty imitation pixel art. Few games do the NES look right and this is just another example of one that doesn't. Yawn.
>>321917275
Reverse image gives some French guy's twitter, and we're not all psychic OP, so what game is it?

The character sprite still looks like a NES era sprite, sadly it's the only thing. The environment looks like a fighting stage.
>>321919964
if the intention was to look like a NES game the first is better yes
>>321917275
First looks like shit, OP.
Remove your nostalgia goggles
>>321917275
Hopefully they plan on updating the character, he looks really out of place in the new one.
Read the fucking link you retards
>since they got way more money than their kickstarter asked for, they decided to go for a master system look instead of a NES look
>>321917275
Shit, that's some Metal Slug tier environments. I like it.
>>321921529
Master System was just an underpowered NES so they're even more wrong
>>321918163
I think I know what you're trying to say but you still sound retarded.
>>321919964
>The game went from looking like an actual NES game
The resolution and aspect ratio is wrong and the main character sprite is not possible on an NES without lots of sprite flicker. Sprites on the NES can only be 4 colors (with one color needing to be transparent) and in 8x8 or 8x16 blocks. The character sprite is 19x32 and uses 5 total colors (one of which is transparent).
Mega Man accomplished sprites with more than four colors through sprite stacking. His face is a separate sprite from his body. The problem with this sprite is if you break it up into 8x8 or 8x16 chunks, it still breaks those strict rules and thus creates a sprite that's not possible on an NES without tons of flicker due to having several sprites being stacked just for one character on the same line.

The Master System had better hardware than the NES.
>>321921723
The Master System was much more powerful than the NES. Especially color wise.

If they wanted it to look exactly like the original then why did they fund a kickstarter to remake it?
god forbid devs try to do anything interesting.
>>321920991
But seriously, the Retro DK crew just look so soulless.
>>321922151

You fucking idiot.

Why would you want a game to look like an actual NES game? I think the NES is one of the best consoles ever, but I see no reason at all to attempt making a modern game with that system's limitations.
It's fine if developers use simplistic sprite graphics on account of having limited resources available, but it's silly to hamstring the graphics in some strange appeal to nostalgia.
>>321924437
It sucks too because a lot of the "classic" NES games have better arcade versions, see Contra.
>>321924437
>Why would you want a game to look like an actual NES game? I think the NES is one of the best consoles ever, but I see no reason at all to attempt making a modern game with that system's limitations.
Personally I'm a huge fan of the art movement that later NES games went through. You saw games like Mr Gimmick, Kirby's Adventure and Mega Man 5 get really inspired with their colour choices; on the other hand you saw games like Shatterhand and Return of the Joker with lots of dithering into the colour black. These games all gave the impression of detailed, textured backgrounds and strong depth perception, trying to make the graphics look almost 16-bit in complexity (since that would be the time that the Genesis and SNES were on the market).
When a pixelartist gets that late-NES era of art down right, it's fantastic to look at. The problem is a lot of people just go the route of OP or Jet Gunner or that one other NES-"inspired" game with the Hokuto no Ken-esque protagonist, where they have a vague facsimile of old limitations and decide "eh that's good enough".

Because it appeals to my nostalgia and I have autistic standards

That's how it's said, autist.
>>321926827
You can also say it like "Nest" but without the t.
>>321917275
Did you mean improved?

>Implying it's possible to look more souless than the Rare DK crew.
It's weird, the top looks more bland as far as not having a lot of stuff going on but still looks like everything actually fits together stylistically
bottom just looks like a generic indie game with no soul.
>>321917275
Wowww thissss loooksss likee shitttt now
Why the fuck would they do that? The whole point of the game was that it evoked games like Batman/Silius/Shatterhand. Now it looks like every other trytoohard indie game. To think I shilled this game as hard as I did. Fuk dese fegs
>>321931536
>Now it looks like every other trytoohard indie game.
List ten that look as good as the second image.
They both look pretty good imo, do I have shit taste?
>>321931948
First you need to explain how that is "good"
>>321917275
top
>low budget but mostly faithful genesis game
bottom
>yet another random indieshit
Literally why?
>>321917275
The scale looks pretty fucked up.
Consider the size of that brick wall and the individual bricks, against the doorway and windows on that building
They built this around a character that is way too small for the environment they should be on, it's a mess.
>>321922546
Soulless is a term for retards who don't know how to properly express their feelings in a non arbitrary way so that others can relate to what the fuck theirt talking about
Original DKC looks like utter dog shit, gameplay is dog shit too.
>>321932118
Nah, first you give me the list, you bullshitter. I'll be waiting.
>>321932163
Nice to hear that you've never seen a Genesis game, poser faggot.
>>321919964
>yawn
Oh you can fuck right off faggot
>>321932417
But it's not good so how can I possibly do that
>>321932572
>triggered by simple words
Autism alert
>>321932598
So I'm guessing those generic indie game don't exist.
