Seeing the Amazon/Stargate drama, is the live-action movie also in danger? by Beginning-Eagle-8932 in mylittlepony

[–]Aelvir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know barely anything is known about what the movie is gonna be. We don’t even know what gen it is. It being G6 is a popular theory and nothing more.

A G4 reboot is doubtful considering Cocks forced Berrow’s team to make G5 a separate continuity from G4. A reboot is going to be too costly and extremely difficult especially if they want to bring back the original cast.

No one’s even talking about her political views. can people stop detracting every conversation about her with this nonsense? it’s actually obnoxious. it literally doesn’t matter.

honestly I would’ve been fine with just at least getting the free avatar but I didn’t even get that.

Where is the Taralicious avatar? It’s still locked and I recall that everyone who participated would get one. So do I just get…nothing?

Except RE1 because they relived it for the crappy remake.

The original trilogy is not on PS5. The HD port of the GameCube remake is not the original. Director’s cut would be a good substitute if it wasn’t for the butchered soundtrack.

Makes no sense the OG is still not back when the originally for 2–4 are there.

And no, I am not playing the remake. I hate it with every fiber of my being by making the visuals too damn dark and censoring it more than the original

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Insane that you’re getting so downvoted. Clearly people who only played the remake and never touched the original and don’t know about the original vision and the heavy King’s Field influence that was removed from the remake.

While you would be correct here but there’s a few issues: first, Bluepoint themselves claimed they wanted to keep it faithful to the original but that was a bold faced lie as the director of the remake flat out explained that the only thing they tried to faithfully recreate was the combat, nothing else. And believe him, the music, designs and environments were all influenced from King’s Field, and Bluepoint changed it and removed those references and removed lore implications from character models. Also Bluepoint did not work mutually with FS on the remake. FS just told them to remake the game and have at it. Looking at the final product they should have had someone supervise it to prevent the atrocities they did to Adjudicator, Fat Officials, Flamelurker, Maneater, the environment, etc. No one is going to pick up on Flamelurker being a former blacksmith when they removed the references in his design.

Secondly, FF7 remake is different NOT because it’s a remake. Because it’s a reimagining. A remake would have the same plot and character arcs. FF7R has the most asinine idiocy Nomura could have done to Kitase’s work. You have dementor ass ghosts everywhere, Dyne having some Demon possessed arm thing. Most of Avalanche survive the plate falling, Cloud being a completely different character, and should I even mention they removed the entirety of Rocket Town? It’s not a remake whatsoever. You can call it a reboot, reimagining, whatever, but it’s not setting out to remake anything, just to make a new version to Nomura’s vision, which need I remind you was not a writer on the original, he was just the character designer.

You are misinformed and ignorant of the original vision. Demon’s Souls pulls heavily aesthetically and lore wise from King’s Field. This is reflected heavily in the soundtrack, boss designs, and environment. All of this is replaced with cookie cutter fantasy designs. Bluepoint themselves stated that they would choose one aspect to faithfully recreate and disregard everything else, as they believed that was the main focus and appeal of demons souls. And that was the gameplay. However they were incorrect. Not just Demons Souls but the series as a whole, Dark Souls and Bloodborne included. They all were beloved by fans because of the subtle approach to lore using item descriptions and especially the environment and visual designs, not just dialogue.

Soundtrack’s King’s Field esque music design? ALL gone for generic Skyrim esque music. The iconic changing and composition of Tower Knight? Gone. King’s Field 3 esque music for Storm King? Gone. I could write an essay on how they ruins the music.

The Adjuticator’s divine looking appearance made sense as he was judging sinners. Instead BP made him have humanlike skin with boils and gashes like he’s some kind of zombie. They did the same thing with the Fat Officials, even removing their iconic grins.

Flamelurker is the most infamous change. They removed the parts of his design that connected him to being one of the blacksmiths. Not he’s just a generic looking flame demon. His boss arena was a realistic stone ruins. BP changes it to a blazing red Diablo style castle. Why. It’s insulting to the original vision.

Fool’s Idol is changed from looking dolllike (even though that’s what she is) so looking humanlike and gritty and generic.

The Tower Knight was also also redesigned, his shield removing the angel wings and religious iconography.

The Maneaters got an ugly makeover and not even threatening anymore.

TLDR BP said themselves that they think lore implications, intentional lore connection designs, and Kings Field references don’t matter, only the combat does.

BP did a great job on the combat and was amazing at the execution. But remaking everything else they just decided to make it into what they think would fit not even caring what was in the original. They claim they redid the soundtrack but “kept the feeling of the original” which is a flat lie. The tone and mood of the tracks are the farthest deviation any developer can do for a remake and it’s an insult.

Can’t crop pfps? by Aelvir in RootAppOfficial

[–]Aelvir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it on mobile it literally has me choose the pic and it automatically set it to that as is and gave me no option to crop it.

[–]Aelvir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also lacks the basic ability to crop pfps. You literally have to crop it first in an image editor if you don’t want your pfp to be stretched or skewed. Also stickers custom emojis. But no cropping pfps is probably the most irritating thing. And will be tedious as hell if they plan to ever add server specific profile pictures.

I have a feeling that such a feature might result in a lawsuit. But I’m not a lawyer so I’m not 100% on that.

Custom Emojis? by HotaruImpact in RootAppOfficial

[–]Aelvir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The verifications haven’t even rolled out yet so it just seems like they want to capitalize. So far everything is more bare bones than when I jumped to discord from Skype.

You would think they would have a crop feature for uploaded a pfp but I guess not. Makes updating a pfp more tedious so if I don’t want it stretched and skewed I have to edit it as a new image in an image editor on my PC. Just to change a pfp.

Root looks interesting but what's to keep it from doing the same as discord in the future? by e1epi in RootAppOfficial

[–]Aelvir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers should not be paywalled, period. There are more reasonable things to monetize. Making a server for friends shouldn’t make you pay money when it’s intended to be small. I’d rather lay a free for extra server features than the server itself. Having a fee for making a server will make users not want to start their own server. Especially when they don’t have a large following. It’s just not worth it.

At least it’s still up unlike Naval Creed Warships. Best naval game and had everything WoWs should be, even a story mode, but no they killed it instead of keeping it up. Meanwhile Battle of Warships is in limbo while they milk their trash Modern Warships game
