- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 4 weeks ago:
Okay, my actual thoughts are thus: The original game looked bad. I don’t think there’s any denying that. But: at least it was consistent, and it had a style to it that it kept hold of throughout. There was a real opportunity to properly overhaul Deus Ex with the remaster, but they’ve instead settled for Xbox 360-era models, while keeping the stiff animations from the original, and throwing ridiculous amounts of harsh lighting and bloom around. It doesn’t look like Deus Ex any more. What they should’ve done is taken some cues from Human Revolution and used that to inform the design. (Hot take maybe)

Mouse look was a thing in Wolf 3D, and similar to Doom, it did the whole forward/backward bit too. Really weird.

But they’re the sort of British that yearns for the good old days, when we still had shillings and inches and diphtheria and jumpers for goalposts and no womens’ rights and all that great British stuff.

I’ve noticed quite a few other companies following suit now as well. It’s tiring.

The effort that goes into adding a game to the Death Generator makes it 100% worth using, even if you can use PS.

I’ve just realised - Hammond was such a cheapskate that even the seatbelts in the helicopters didn’t work properly.

Maybe they’re just enthusiastic about the seminal Peter Gabriel album.

Oh I see - I don’t know why, but I assumed this was a new game.

Oh no, we’re getting to the point where PS2-era visuals are considered low-poly??

This is true! If you don’t have a frame of reference for what is “good” (or what everyone else considers “good”) then who the heck cares, play what you want
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 3 months ago:
Lode Runner (NES) might be okay. Not multiplayer, but it’s got nice low-stakes puzzling gameplay.
Edutainment games are a bit few and far between on consoles - Donkey Kong Jr. Math springs to mind, but it’s remarkably dry for a Nintendo game.

The 2600 version is considered extremely bad. (It’s not that bad but it’s also not arcade-accurate)
There’s a SNES version of Ms. Pac-Man which is extremely good, though.

As someone who loves the collectathon-style platformer… yeah, YL’s graphics should be the least of their concerns. I’ve been playing through Banjo-Kazooie recently and it’s SO much better.
