finished the remake in 1 weekend.
Nice game with technical issues that thankfully don't take away from the experience too much.
Not a 60€ game, though. As for soul, who cares dumb nigger. Just play the fucking game, you dilating cuck.

>>5921338
I wish the remake had an option to play with these colors. This is how Koholint Island was MEANT to look, dammit.

ultimate soul

>>5921346
Pretty sure it was meant to look how it looked on the GBC.

>>5921338
>TI-83 filter
These always look like shit.

>>5921376
Actually the GBC port was handled by an entirely new team, none of the original developers.

>>5921489
well fug

>>5921376
Pretty sure THIS is what it was supposed to look like

>>5921346
I know this is shitposting but it’s really stupid this 60 dollar remake doesn’t include the original game as a bonus unlockable

>>5921338
Take the final SOUL redpill.

>>5921497
>>5921376

It's supposed to look like this

>>5921508
Also should have concept art and such like the mega man collections. Would have cost Nintendo very little yet added a lot.

>>5921516
Outsourced third party artwork from Nintendo Power strategy guides are no reflection of what the game is supposed to look like.

>>5921532
Wrong. Nipnongs slapping together low effort cartoons for cheap box art is no reflection of what the game is supposed to look like. This is the only actual art produced

>>5921545

>>5921497
Why does link look like he has downs?

>>5921551
I literally just pointed out that the cheap cartoons slapped together for the packaging aren't legitimate you illiterate third worlder

>>5921560
The art he posted reflects the link in the intro cutscene better than the art you posted.

>>5921560
So then why does that art match the way he looks in the game instead of the shitty Terada art?

>>5921570
>>5921572
>why do the sprites not reflect the real art?!

Programmer art is not representative of what the game is supposed to look like

>>5921578
But it does reflect the real art. Yours isn't the real art.

>>5921578
You could've just said you're retarded upfront and not wasted our time.

Yo isn't it kind of fucked up that you kill all these muthafuckas when you wake that damn fish up

>>5921472
It's actually a very good emulation of the Game Boy Pocket's screen.

>>5921702
The problem is the resolution is way too high. It's more like what a Game Boy screen looks like if you photograph it with a macro lens than what it looks like in any natural setting from a normal viewing distance. The blank spaces between the dots are also way too big and pronounced. Pic related is from Google, even a blind man could see the difference between this and OP's filter.

>>5921713
>You're allowed to view the game on your computer screen at a resolution greater than 2 1/2"
This is a "problem" how?

>>5921713
It’s mostly the shadows that hide the dots in an actual GB screen and blend them together. If there wasn’t the shadow under them you’d be able to very visibly see it. With the GB filter on retro arch you’re supposed to enable the shadow filter as well

>>5921701
I’m really irritated at your english teacher right now.

>>5921724
>This is a "problem" how?
Because it looks like an ugly mosaic.

>>5921725
>you’re supposed to enable the shadow filter as well
Got an example shot? I'd be interested to see if it looks better.

>>5921552
He's a JRPG protagonist. Of course he has a mental disability.

>>5921516
That's ugly as shit

I beat the remake then beat it on hero mode.

You're all a bunch of retards.

Links Awakening on Switch is to Links Awakening on GB as Metroid Zero Mission on GBA is to Metroid on NES.

Unless you have a nostalgia boner, Zero Mission replaces the original Metroid. The quality of life upgrades make it a much more chill and enjoyable experience.

Unless you have a nostalgia boner, the Links Awakening remake replaces the original. The quality of life upgrades make it a much more chill and enjoyable experience.

I hated doing the Eagle's Tower on Game Boy because it can be very difficult to figure out what to do next even if you've played it before. In the remake the map is so much better it's not too hard to figure out what to do next.

The only thing I didn't like about the remake is they didn't include The Photographer character.

>>5921560
You didn't point anything out, you made a statement and now you act like we need to accept it as true.

>>5922337
Soulposting is pretty much exclusively a 4chan thing.

>>5922668
>Links Awakening on Switch is to Links Awakening on GB as Metroid Zero Mission on GBA is to Metroid on NES.
So objectively worse.
>Unless you have a nostalgia boner, Zero Mission replaces the original Metroid. The quality of life upgrades make it a much more chill and enjoyable experience.
Translation: "Metroid is too hard, mommy! No maps! Muh bombing in random places! Muh Fake Kraid!"
>I hated doing the Eagle's Tower on Game Boy because it can be very difficult to figure out what to do next even if you've played it before. In the remake the map is so much better it's not too hard to figure out what to do next.
You don't belong here, kid.

>>5921578
>cut scene and manual art aren't representative of what the game is supposed to look like, only this outsourced Nintendo Power artwork represents the TRUE Link's Awakening!
lmao

>>5922872
>programmer art and cartoons slapped together at the last minute for packaging are the real art
>the actual art made by real artists however does not count

Ok retard

>>5922882
>the real artists
Katsuya Terada is not and never has been an employee of Nintendo, you absolute dunce. Both the cutscene and the manual art were illustrated by the legendary Yoichi Kotabe, the character designer responsible for the original Link, Princess Zelda, Ganon, and for most of the Mario casts' designs. It is an indisputable fact that he was an employee of Nintendo in 1993. So yes, HE is the REAL artist and his art DOES count, unlike Terada who was simply commissioned to do some promotional pieces for magazines.

>>5922901
>actual artist vswork for hire cartoonist

cope

>>5922908
>cope
Imaging being backed into a corner this hard. You have no argument, fucktard. Just face it, you lost.

>>5922916
How? I've pointed out several times that you just keep clinging to throwaway cartoons over the actual art, but you just keep doubling down. Why is this so hard for you to accept? Why does it hurt you so badly?

>>5921582
>>5922183
what the fuck is the point of these? i don't remember my gameboy screen being blaring neon piss-colored and being so close to the screen that i can see every individual cell

>>5922927
Except I'm not the one clinging to throwaway cartoons, you are! That's literally what those Nintendo Power illustrations were, shit that Terada was commissioned to draw. Beautiful, but not the official artwork for the characters (i.e. the manual and intro cutscene).

>>5921552
Anon that picture is a mirror...

>>5921867
it's not a conspiracy, retard. it's a game. crawl into the daylight once in a while

>>5922939
You must not have owned a gameboy then

>>5925974
Original GBrick is eye cancer. Thank god I owned a pocket and gbc.

>>5921489
That makes too much sense. It was an OoT tie-in, clearly. The "Owl Beak" thing was a fucking gay revision, for example.

>BUT YOU NEVER PLAYED THE GBRICK
Yes I did and that's how I know they're between-frames bleeding low contrast eye cancer.

>>5925997
OP posted Pocket visuals, though...

>>5921582
but do you hold your monitor in your hands and have to fiddle with the contrast dial in a way such that together with the sunlight you can play the next dungeon while taking turns with your pal figuring shit out?

>>5926450
>taking turns with your pal
Man. I always leaned over my big bro's shoulder while he played.

>>5922668
I can accept zero mission because it's still pixel art and it makes it closer to the original. For Link's Awakening I would have preferred a 3D remake closer to the OOT style. What we got is kinda meh. I still find the original more charming. I do think it's good for someone who never played the original. 60$ though is too much.

>>5921572
>shitty
18+ board, nigger. That art looked fucking mindblowing at the time and was one of the best parts of the game, especially since they showed art this in-game VERY selectively.

>>5921516
What? He always looked like an 8-12 year-old kid in-game, to me, especially at points when I forgot about the "cutscene art" design.

There's no way to see the pixel grid on a gameboy screen, if you put your face that close you block all lighting.

>>5921338
Dreams don't have souls

>>5928960
>he doesn't know

>>5928954
Not on a dark game like that but there’s plenty of games where you easily can. Your eyesight is just shit dude or you only play games that are dark enough where all the shadowing blends the pixels

>>5928954
What's with that turquoise screen? Is that modshit? Yes, though, you can see the screen pretty well if you use sunlight or don't mind a little glare from a nearby lamp. Backlighting is very great, but it has helped to make gaming less social, sadly.

>>5929095
>What's with that turquoise screen? Is that modshit?
No, that's just how that particular gameboy looks over the years.

People prefer grayscale over colour? Why?

>>5930198
DX isn't the same game, tardo.

>>5930206

So what? Grayscale is still dull. Colour is preferable.

>>5930215
Even if the game is worse? Also, that's a gay preconception.

>>5930218

DX is better though.
Vibrant colour+2 extra dungeons vs. dull grayscale

>>5930215
Let's put it this way: besides the fact that the game was designed without color in mind and besides the fact that DX was created by a different team and created simply as a cheap promo for the GBC and as a reissue tie-in for Ocarina of Time buyers, the action and animations are much more visceral and eye-catching in monochrome than with distracting color added (at least in cases like this). That's also why, for example, a lot of film noir movies stayed in black and white despite color filming being easy, appealing, and affordable at the time.

>>5930231
The two extra dungeons are terrible and so are the rewards. The coloring is bad, sometimes, too. Plus they cheesed the difficulty and artstyle far too often, making it somewhat of a cringe game.

>>5921867
>how dare remake of game look different from original game

>>5930237

.the action and animations are much more visceral and eye-catching in monochrome than with distracting color added (at least in cases like this).

Do you then play your console games with a black and white CRT?.... The benefits of colour far outweigh the drawbacks imo

>>5930246
It looks different in a bad way, though. It might as well be FF6 for Steam, which apparently you think looks great simply because it's a remake (which are above criticism in any way).

>>5930250
My console games weren't designed with monochrome in mind, underage moron. Read my posts again.

>>5930240

I'm a huge fan of the colouring, it looks like pop art. Very vibrant.

>>5930258
>the action and animations are much more visceral and eye-catching in monochrome than with distracting color added

If you think this is true, then it must be true for colour retro games. Your argument falls flat.

>>5921508
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is how you do a remake. Original creator works on it, making improvements and adding a bunch of new stuff while at the same time including the original game with the ability to tweak some settings to improve the quality of life.

>>5922628
You're still a thief even if you never enter the shop again.

Someone mad

>>5930267
Not all retro games were designed with color in mind, though. Stop sucking dicks, please.

>>5921497
Cue Mario on the left. He is taking vacations from his adventures to play in Links.

seoul

>>5930640
But they don't call you THIEF so it's no big deal. Plus you get to cuck the shopkeeper who's just going to wait forever for you to walk back into the shop, standing across from the door like a doofus.
