selling my ps5 this is unnacceptable, why would Nintendo do this

Thanks, Obama.

I will more than happily accept yellow paint instead of just randomly mashing my control stick in various directions to figure out where to go, like the OG FF7.

I never had an issue with this when RE4make came out. People get too pressed about minor aspects.

you know the playtesters had problems when this pops up lol

Yeah exactly. I mean whatever, it's fine.

Its fine. Looks stupid and seems like there would be something that doesnt look as stupid but sure.

The ghosts put it there.

This. Like, sure, it looks dumb, and they probably could have found a better solution, but... Screw it, it's still better than what the OG had, so... I'll take it.

More paint on Bushs hands

I want to play the game where I'm the guy wandering the world painting yellow stripes on all the cliffs

It looks stupid but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Basically this like no matter what something is going to upset gamers.

Pretty much.

Its better then nothing but more organic solutions exist.

I wonder how realistic an expectation it would be to have the yellow paint as an optional toggle, so people who want/need it can turn it on and have it applied to climbable surfaces, and people who don't can just turn it off.

I could see an indie game like this. You try to paint a path up a mountain that the main character can traverse and then a little CPU hero tries to climb where you painted. You get more points for an efficient path or for getting them close enough to notice treasure. Different levels may give you different heroes with different jumping capabilities and tools.

I'd play this.

I liked the way Mirror's Edge did it. They used red, but it was a natural part of the city's architecture, so it didn't feel that out of place. And you had the option to turn it off if you felt like you didn't need the guidance.

Couldn't they just give it a slight glow or something. Would prefer a video game ism highlight than literally covered in highlighter.

I agree it would have been better to be able to turn it off, but I also understand not thinking such a toggle needs to exist, and that people that don't like it should be able to just... Ignore such a minor part of the game.

I wouldn't have been mad either way, atleast.

people are mad about this? holy shit

This is the firstiest of first world problems

Isn't it normal to have rock climbing route painted?

And besides, you can put a hidden treasure on an unpainted route

Like gamers gotta gamer. If you didnt have it painted you would either get people pissed at figuring it out or you would need to construct limits because the means of utilizing it would basically require free movement of the world.

If this was applicable in BotW, the whole world would be yellow

It's extremely viable. It's probably no different than turning arrow mode on/off in Super Mario Odyssey, for example.

Barret did talk about the golden wire of hope back in Wall Market, so this is just the natural extension of that.

The tweet is kind of odd. Real life is an unreadable environment?

They know their target audience well. People who need their hands held, not too much thinking.

Shoving your analog stick in random directions until you find something grabbable sure is a stimulating mental exercise...

Mirror's edge did this like 12 years ago.

This has never really bothered me but can't they just put in an option to remove it?

Mirror's Edge did that in 2008 , doesn't seem that hard.

Why not just have lichen growing on those spots?

FF7 is finally open world! Butwe had to design the actual game space the same way we did for the games with 2D backgrounds. Please understand.

Journalists: 10/10, exciting evolution of JRPGs, the future is here

I really don't get what started that trend. Many games previously had been able to lead the player without stupidly obvious markings. While we're dealing with more realistic settings now, you can still prep the player for what to look for and make sure you don't double up on things that look climbable.

A toggle isn't going to do much when the game is designed specifically around yellow paint.

Not sure why people get so annoyed about it. Games have always followed a design language for you to follow. Red barrels don't actually explode if you shoot them.

If the cliffs were grey players would be trying to climb the rocks to the ledge because there's no actual reason Cloud himself cannot. You know you can't because the game tells you that you can't.

Fucking why are more games doing this? Capcom did something like this recently with RE4R. Is yellow like some sort of accessibly coded color used to draw attention to something?

i would be fine with the yellow paint if the climbing didnt look so miserable and slow and stiff. sub-uncharted 1 shit lol

I prefer the yellow environmental paint as opposed to the blue arrows from the last one.

As games increase in fidelity and detail yellow still sticks out. It tells the player "You can interact with this" in a consistent way that can apply to several things across the entire game.

RE4 does it because there are barrels, crates and other stuff placed around the world that you can't touch.

FFVII Rebirth will be doing this because there will be numerous cliffs that you cannot climb.

This is off topic but I remember back in OG FFVII where I was in Cosmo Canyon and having that whole explanation about the meteor and then suddenly they put me in a big open space where I had to talk to the old man and I couldn't talk to him for some reason.

I kept trying to chat with him but it wouldn't let me, like I had trouble clicking on him with Cloud. One day I tried again but had given up for years and it worked but I had to stand in a specific spot......like very specific.

only people complaining about this are those who think they are smarter than everyone else. what a nothingburger.

Muh immersion!!

In the original FF7 they literally had a dedicated button that toggled little arrows on or off to indicate where the exits were on any given screen

Or people doing it for the sake of complaining.

Its a shame that this discourse is focusing on the paint and not the fact that games should just get rid of these useless climbing sections in general.

I mean then you just have characters jumping or grappling things because in a lot of these games you arent going to have stairs or ladders.
