I picked it up to test. So far I once got soft locked in a push animation while pushing a box another player was pushing, but otherwise the game seems nice and fun. Also it’s beautifully designed.
I should have known better than to buy a release version of an Atlus game. New content looks good though and hopefully the new “true” ending is a bit better now than the neutral route because I found it to be a bit lacklustre.
I know when I played SMTV I was thinking the whole time that I should’ve waited for it to arrive on another platform. The performance on Switch was ass.
Yeah I felt the same on some level, but the performance wasn’t too bad to the point it was impactful until you got to the final open area at least.
I wish the steamdeck had existed when it SMT released or I would have waited a couple years for the PC release. JRPG’s just lend themselves so well tobeing played on handhelds.
It doesn’t look any better. Stiff animations, no idea who thought Angela was supposed to look like that.
Like, I don’t even want to pirate it. I can’t believe I am saying this but Gans’ movie looks more faithful to the original than the remake. They changed like literally everything.
I mean, aren't stiff animations true to the source material in this case? The stilted nature of the player movement of the original SH games are a big part of why I loved them, because you're not some combat-trained martial artist who can backflip and parry attacks, you're just a dude, armed with a steel pipe and depression, so of course your movement is going to be less than graceful. That said, the combat still looks way more fluid than the original game, though it's not quite as action-hero-ish as the western-developed SH games were.
I'm more concerned with the visuals. It's really tough to make a judgement on them, since YouTube's compression really chews up anything with foggy graphics, but it looks kinda rough so far.
I dont mean that it looks janky because the animations are expected to be some sort of action game animations, thats not it at all. The animation quality itself is just not good. Like, the original had less stiff or awkward looking animations in some cases. Particularly in the transitions between animation states and some of the hit animations for the metal pipe, for example. The point of survival horror, and its main distinguishing point that makes it different from action horror, is that combat is not meant to feel good or satisfying. A good survival horror game will make the player more often than not choose to not engage in combat. Its better to save health and not waste time. But this remake just throws that out the window I guess.
Flesh Lips battle room is like 3 times bigger than it originally was. The locker room you get the bent needle in is needlessly larger than the original. The room you use the bent needle and hair to get the key in is no longer just a shower room but some random utility room with a shower in the corner for some reason. Marias leapord print skirt is gone, with her midriff covered and the important large butterfly/moth tatoo shrunk and moved up to her chest. All these random changes that were entirely unnecessary.
Have you seen what they did to Angela? They haven’t even shown Eddie. Not a single frame of Eddie literally anywhere. They have mishandled every face in the game, I am afraid of what they did to Eddie.
Honestly this just looks like a ton of fun although the explicit branding iconography kind of makes it feel like it should be a bundle game. Still looks fun though
I’m really looking forward to experiencing the events of the older games in the new engine! (Though from what I understood it’s not the whole stories but just a few key scenarios).
