Despite being on a worse selling system, XCX was much more widely available than XC1 was. I think there's a definite reason they want to keep the series going in the path of XC1/2, those kinds of decisions are always based on reception. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

But then I kept hearing about them, over and over again. I've reached a point where firsts don't have the same excitement that they had 40 years ago. If there's a female protagonist, I know I'm going to hear about it being a first as if it were Sally Ride or something. I can get that, but then... Just ignore the marketing? That seems like a poor reason to be against something having a female protagonist. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

Nothing about the PS4 version of Psychonauts can't RUN on a PS2, there's nothing new in the game, it's just spitting pit a better signal. I mean, my argument stands. If the PS2 doesn't spit it out at that resolution, then you're not actually comparing it as a PS2 game. If you're going to specifically use the hardware in your argument, then you have to go by the standards of the hardware. That seems incredibly logical to me, because what you're describing is not what you actually see on a PS2. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

| Topic | Pokemon Legends Arceus: Over 6 million sold already. |
| StealThisSheen 02/05/22 12:34:27 AM #94 | We're ultimately going to have to agree to disagree on the whole graphics comparison debate, because to me, if you have to take the game out of the hardware to make it look better, and the hardware wouldn't run the improved version the same, visually, then... You're no longer comparing a Gamecube/PS2/whatever game. You're just comparing... A game. What the hardware is capable of is very important to the argument of "This looks like a *System here* game." If you're making the statement of "This looks worse than PS2 games," then one should be able to picture a PS2 game as it looks like on a PS2, not if you have to take it outside the hardware to spruce it up first. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| StealThisSheen 02/05/22 12:27:27 AM #82 | KamikazePotato posted... So if I buy Psychonauts on PS4 it's not a PS2 game anymore? Yeah I find that line of thinking to be absurd. We're not going to agree on this topic. If the PS4 version would not run on a PS2, then yes, it's no longer an example of PS2 graphics, because... It wouldn't run on a PS2 like that, visually. If a PS2 can't run it the same way, visually, it's not an example of PS2 graphics. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

| StealThisSheen 02/05/22 12:22:10 AM #75 | KamikazePotato posted... SD was a strict hardware limitation that had nothing to do with art style. It's a more fair comparison to use their non-remastered HD versions - or imagine Arceus in SD if you want. That's... No. If you have to take it out of the hardware to make it look better, then it's quite literally not a "PS2" or whatever game anymore. It's a PC game, or whatever you made the HD version for. If the HD version wouldn't run on the hardware, then you can't count it as a game for that hardware anymore, which defeats the entire argument. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| StealThisSheen 02/05/22 12:14:24 AM #70 | I'm not trying to defend Legends because it certainly does look bad compared to what it could/should be. I just think these "It looks worse than X old system" arguments are tired and kinda undermine the point, since they either count on: A. Forgetting what games from that era actually looked like, or B. Turning into "Well yeah maybe not normally but if you emulate them/HD-ify them and make them look better than they actually do, they do!" It's just a silly argument all around that people seem obsessed with making as if they think it adds more credibility to the criticism or something. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| StealThisSheen 02/05/22 12:09:09 AM #65 | KamikazePotato posted... Only because they're not HD (and SD looked better on CRT monitors). Lots of PS2 era games that have been re-released in HD - even if the graphics weren't changed besides that - look on par with Arceus. ...So we're back to the "Look, it looks worse than PS2 games if you make them not look like PS2 games" argument again? --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

So by saying it's played out, you're, in effect, saying female protagonists are played out. I mean, look at the context you used it in: In response to somebody saying they hope GTA6 has a female protagonist.

| StealThisSheen 02/04/22 9:46:15 PM #39 | I think it's legitimately just that people put having fun above all else, and the majority of players still find Pokemon fun. Detractors keep insisting sales of the next game are going to go down, for various reasons, be it poor graphics or Dexit or whatever, but they actually keep going up, suggesting your casual player doesn't actually care about that, they're having fun regardless. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

If you're not interested in a game, and you let somebody convince you to play it, chances are you're going to go in expecting to resent it to begin with. It's different if you're atleast sorta interested, but from the sounds of it, he's not a fan of where Pokemon has gone. And yes, Legends is a bit of a different take, but if he reads reviews and it sounds like something he's not going to find fun, then it's silly to force himself to play it just because somebody else says it's fun. You've gotta atleast be sorta interested in something to begin with, or else the likelihood is you're going to have a bad time.

If you're sorta interested but reviews turn you off, you're not interested. No point in wasting time on a game if you're not interested. If you considered the DP remake to be "dogshit," then you're just not interested in Pokemon anymore, period, and you should probably bail, when it comes to the main series.

They came out and said a few months ago that they've never really made good profit off of the consoles themselves. EDIT: Apparently two years ago they straight up said Game Pass on other consoles was a long term goal, just that they didn't know how likely it was soon.
