Remember this one? It releases on March 31
I don't, remind me.
>>332286190
no
>>332286576
why is there a random zelda screenshot on the bottom left
There's no official demo but there's a backer alpha on KAT from one year ago
>>332286703
So you can compare what a good game looks like with a shitty game that's coming out in three days for $20.
>>332286837
there is nothing on zelda side that looks better
you might like lack of effects and shading, its all part of taste
>>332287000
Get your eyes tested. Your game looks like shit.
>>332287208
I think it looks good
>>332286190
Yeah, I really like the style but I'm afraid the combat's going to be a fucking mess because of it.
>>332287450
You also fail at perspective.
>>332287637
No mess here. Only vomit.
>>332287646
and zelda is actually lying at the ground right?
anyways, if you prefer the art style of one game to another, its totally you opinion
I simply think it looks better than zelda unlike you
>>332287450
>>332287208
>>332286703
It's to illustrate proper contrast. HLD looks like a mess of melting colour and shape, nothing has any sort of definition.
Compare to Zelda which uses colour and line to differentiate objects. It's the same reason TF2 (used) to have such recognizable silhouette for characters - to allow the player to distinguish instantly what they were seeing.
CONTRAST. Fuck I'm partially blind and even I can see it.
I dunno, i played the alpha and i found it really hard to get into because it feels so slow and choppy
>>332286190
dont post good games on neo-/v/, this is a strict AAA nintendo/shooters/arpg board. no fun allowed
>>332289315
I have to agree that this place is incredibly narrow. There's just entire genres of games that might as well not exist here.
>>332288578
>feels so slow
How?
Entire combat system is built about being a fucking sanic who constantly teleports around the screen.
Looks really cool. I'm happy that it's coming out really soon. I'm still a bit sad about the game not running at 60fps though.
Speaking of similar games, what happened to Radio The Universe?
Furi or Hyper Light Drifter?

How could this shit not run at 60 FPS? That is just embarrasing.
>>332290668
A defensive move that does nothing because the 3rd hit turns him into paste. Ok then.
>>332290749
He's a baka.
>>332290669
it was designed around 30 frames. anything CAN run at 60 fps, but it was designed tied to a framerate. get out of here with your 60fps meme.

>Fast paced zip-around-the-screen action game

So is there any more info about the gameplay?

>>332287806

>>332290453
The whole thing should be as intense as the final stage of the boss fight.
>>332291041
>60fps meme
Games 30 year olds that sold better than yours ever will were 60 fps. You just went with 30 fps so you could skimp out on animation and try to get some kind of "cinematic look" or something on your shitty pixel indie game.
>>332290453
Holy shit this looks fun.
But they are two different games as Furi seems to be entirely about boss fights.
>>332291178
>can't play games under 60fps

>>332291543
>>332291368
>games dont move
>games are, in fact, screenshots
>>332290669
60fps is 60fps, but you CAN do just half.
>>332291041
most games are forced to go to 30fps because of consoles, but I dont think hyper light takes so much processing power that they would need to lower it to 30.
>>332291178
hmm i dont mind 30 fps. It depends more on the rate that inputs are accepted. In Ocarina of Time, The game was visually 20 fps, But for every visual frame there were 3 input frames making it 60 inputs per second. So it felt good to play, and wasn't taxing on the console. Just a clever workaround for the 64's shitty hardware.
>>332291404
>yours
>you
youre projecting faggot, no one gives a shit about your opinion
>>332291645
it wasnt lowered, it was built at 30 - always has been 30. animations and combat are built around that framerate.
>>332291606
Backgrounds look static as fuck in videos I've seen.
>>332291645
gamemaker rooms are 30fps or 60fps

YES and my body is ready. I played the alpha and the arena mode at PAX and got 1st for one of the days and they gave me a poster and a key for the game.
>>332291178
There is 0 difference between 30 and 60 fps
>>332291775
Why would you build it around a shitty framerate? What's wrong with you?
>>332291991
Maybe if you're blind. A simple google search will prove you wrong.
>>332292009
30fps is fine as long as it's stable
>>332292089

No, it's not. It's like saying old milk is fine as long as it doesn't have too many chunks in it.

Are you fucking stupid? You can dislike it all you want but if you honestly think it isn't an intentional design choice you're a moron.
>>332292296
Can you answer my question? What do you get out of shitposting, do you just need some attention for whatever reason?
>>332292201
>It's like saying old milk is fine as long as it doesn't have too many chunks in it.
That analogy doesn't even properly relate to what you're trying to say.
As I said, 30fps (or any reasonable framerate, now that I think about it) works fine as long as it's stable and doesn't cause problems. Wanting 60fps on everything is perfectionistic as fuck and isn't going to happen.
>>332286190
Is this like the Dark Souls of Zelda?
>>332292481
>expecting a level of quality and effort from something that requires a dollar investment is perfectionist and will never happen
Time to go eat garbage out of a landfill. I mean, it works just as fine for filling my belly as food from a supermarket.
I can confirm to you all just how much of a giant fucking mess HLD really is.
Rather than spending the fuckton of money they received on a dedicated art team, they went ahead and commissioned a bunch of random pixel artists to work for cheap pay. This is why the artwork looks extremely inconsistent in both quality and concept. There was no attempt made to create a consistent world or theme. Everything in this game is literally ripped from anime/retro games with a coat of stock Game Maker shaders and neon colors thrown on it.
The lack of a dedicated art team has also lead to a fair share of theft. Some of the artists they hired straight up stole the characters from small artists/indie devs.
When one person confronted Alex Preston about the theft, Alex refused that there was any resemblance and went even further to offer the person a gig to do some environmental work.
This game didnt deserve the success it got on kickstarter. They got by simply because a bunch of the director's popular tumblr/tigsource buddies shilled the game for him and their followers showered them with money because they have no concept of quality and will blindly support anything these pretentious fucks tell them to.
Games like this are intentionally designed to run at 30fps because 60fps looks too strange. Look up Nuclear Throne at 60fps, it's ultra smooth and feels wrong. You know that movies use 24fps for the exact same reason, right? Things being too smooth feels incredibly odd if it's not designed around that.
>>332290601
this happens in souls game also
do you complain in those threads everytime?
>>332292757
Well I'm gonna pirate it so what do I care
>>332292757

>>332292757

>>332286190
The gameplay seems cool.
But visuals are awful. The pixel work is lame,
perspectives are fuck'd up... Why do indies even bother to make 2D if they suck at drawing in the first place ?
There's no way I pay 30$ for this, maybe 10max.
>>332291041

>>332292784
>muh movies vs games argument
Actual fucking retardation, like what a child would say. This is like when the devs for The Order tried to argue that 25FPS was really "cinematic" when really they just couldn't fucking optimize it to run at anything higher. Recording a real life image and making a computer graphic animation are completely different.
Not that you'd know, you're desperate to convince yourself your 30 FPS machine was worth the investment, even when it dips down into a buttery smooth 19 FPS.
>>332292481
>Wanting 60fps on everything is perfectionistic as fuck and isn't going to happen.
It isn't. It's just consoles' fault they can't run pixel-tier graphics without shitting the bed.
>>332292757
they released a alpha and it was pretty good
I think the artdesign looks more or less original, so do you got some evidence for your accusations?
>>332293173

I would fucking LOVE to give sauce but by doing so I'd be making my identity extremely obvious and I'd rather not wreck my career. I guess you'll have to take my word for what it is.
Really though, I wish I could look at this game without immediately feeling pissed off. It's bullshit that mediocre projects like this soak up the entire spot light while other projects like Radio the Universe die out because of a lack of support. If the same tumblr divas and tigsource bros shilled any other game the way they did this shitpile, it would have had the same fucking results. All you have to do is cut/copy/paste evangelion designs and youre good to go.
>>332293285
What are you even trying to say?
>>332293319
Console shilling from incompetent game devs and marketing teams is why there's this meme that 30 fps looks good, or even movie-like. It's from paid marketing teams and devs desperate to handwave away their game's flaws that 60 fps looks unnatural or something. They can't make a quality product so they lie and shill and convince you that the shitty incompetent job they did is the quality product.
>>332293285
Good god, you are just being contrarian for the sake of it. You know what the fuck I mean when I say a game plays good. Tight, responsive controls, satisfying combat, good visual/audio feedback, etc.
The fuck do you care if other people want this game you clearly don't want anyway?
>>332293435
No :(

>>332293467
The niggers who say low fps is fine are full of shit. When I managed to get the scam citizen alpha running at 60 fps it looked amazing. Animations were smooth and everything responsive.
>>332293493
It's ok to be rude to giant shitposting faggots on the Internet.
>>332292757
>Everything in this game is literally ripped from anime/retro games with a coat of stock Game Maker shaders and neon colors thrown on it.
That's obvious.
The first thing I thought the first I saw a trailer was "oh hey, that guy ripped of the Evas/angels design for those thing in the backgrounds/some ennemies".
Even the main chara reminds me of something, I still don't know what yet.
>>332293782
>main chara
Looks like bass from megaman.
>>332293229
>>332292942
>>332292919
Again, I'm not going to leave myself vulnerable to a bunch of shitlord indie devs burning me at the stake for incriminating them/revealing myself.
You dont need my evidence though, just look at the original trailer. There are LITERALLY evangelion designs plopped into the game with no effort to alter the designs. Its a really cheap way of getting people to support your game by drawing them in by ripping off an extremely popular anime. I'm sorry but just because eva is old and made an example of doesnt mean you can borrow designs and use them as you please.
>>332293404
jesus as long as the artdesign transpone a certain atmosphere and fullfills the requirements for gameplay you better should shut your whoremouth
>>332293565
>>332293735
>game looks like neon chunky garbage vomit because "retro sentimentality"
It's called "the game looks bad."
>>332293173
>>332293713
I meant what I said, anon. Also, "the prose is concise and rich, the cinematography is slick and stylish," is a bunch of vague adjectives and verbs that don't mean anything. They almost mean as much as
>IT PLAYS GOOD!!!!!!

>>332293436
its not like HLD gets that much attention anyway
>>332292757
But what about the gameplay, the level design, etc? I can look past the art inconsistency if the game is good
can't wait to pirate this. these shitty fags and their infinite delays deserve it
>>332286576
I was going to say this is a shitty screenshot since the game normally looks good but I just realized that the game's art would probably benefit if it had some outlines on its art.
>>332294031
Sorry, guess your post didn't have as much wordread as you thought.
>>332293916
You are not the arbiter of aesthetics. A game doesn't need to be approved by you to exist.
Seriously though, why doesn't this game run at 60fps?
>>332294180
How does one get hyped for pirating exactly
I thought people just did whatever they wanted in order to get a game and play it
>>332293404
I thought the art looked pretty good as the coloring is essentially a mix of neon red and blue green, helping to give it a comfortable scifi look with colors that blend easily.
Reminds me a bit of Nightmargin's artwork.
>>332294154
They are cutting corners there as well.
The game has no story, npc's speak in a made up language, and the levels are made to be a cluster fuck to flaunt artificial complexity.
Instead of creating an actual interesting world they are just throwing random neon bullshit together and making it the players job to create the story because dark souls or whateverthefuck.
>>332294401
Because consoles

>>332294321
>this defensive butthurt
No one said anything like that you fucking baby. It's just a mish mash of neon colors without a single fucking outline anywhere and all character and object silhouettes lack definition because of these things.
>>332286837
Nice bait.
The visual aesthetic of HLD is a lot cooler than that of LttP.
>>332294321
It's called an opinion. But don't worry, I learned my lesson from Toddlertale and will stop attacking deliberately adorably bad and terrible games... because autists rush to their defense like they're holding the gates of Vienna.

The game also sacrifices play ability for its shitty art style. I played the demo and in multiple areas you will run on to what blatantly looks like ground and will fall to your death because they didnt make it clear which trainwreck of colors is ground or the side of a cliff.
>>332286190
Some parts of the demo I played looked super good but most of the time I was really annoyed at the lack of "this is a platform that's really high" the game had, because it felt everything was at the same level and the cliffs didn't really felt like cliffs.

are you fucking retarded?
>>332295981
Sorry anon. I like neon clouds and colors and don't mind lower quality pixelart.
>>332299593
Sounds like you should stick to your hugbox.
So does the main character zip around at the speed of light or something?

welp, I guess 30fps really is a meme.

So, after reading this whole thread, I don't understand what exactly you guys are spiting on? Is it because of the eva pandering, which is "supposedly" stolen by the game devs?
If it is the only thing that make you rage against it, I can live with that.
I was pretty excited for it as I missed the kickstarter, but I have second thoughts now that I read

I don't know anymore. I can live with retro neon too. And this guy seemed quite angry against the game, but I don't think you can fill an entire game with eva rip offs. He didn't give any idea of what the actual content looks like, so there's no proof that his rant is valid, but I'm still worried.
Is it a case of "wait for the release and /v/'s opinion before reaching your wallet"?
>>332303798
Basing a purchase solely off of /v/'s opinion is almost always a bad idea, although there should be less shitposting once the game actually comes out. Most of the criticism in this thread is based on groundless, gut reactions.
>>332303798
I've gotta admit I like the gameplay but people are right when they say the pixel art is very amateur and lacks any literal depth or perspective
>pixel art
>simplistic hack n slash gameplay
I'll pirate it on day 10 or 12 probably.
>>332295691
right one actually looks prettier
>>332304257
/v/ is acid with every game ever produced, and that's part of the charm of this shithole, but you can generally see the outlines of solid negative points in the bullshit said about games . A kickstarter exceeding 20 times its budget goal is not bound to make a good game.
But yes this rant was groundless.
