The "soul is just nostalgia" countermeme is retarded because you can always notice something was made with love even if it's your first time interacting with it.

People will look at this and still say it's nostalgia

This.
Been playing 90s-early 2000s games lately.
Also played through all gens of pokemon for the first time back in 2017.

you can end the thread with this lmao

reminnder if you cant find at least 5 downgrades in OP's webm, you have no soul

this was the most egregious one in the remake to me
which is a shame, because there were some parts of the remake that I did like a whole lot.

>Any Forums is a bunch of grampix fags
lmao die trannies

soul is always about graphics ever notice that?

I never played Spyro.
And i didn't want to play the "remastered" trilogy.
it's down there, in the backlog of emulation games i wanna play at some point.

is this mitigated at all by an SSD? I kind of want to play reignited just to see how different everything is beyond the same 5 screenshots

A loading screen for a loading screen
TFB are so fucking retarded. and then the game lags on level start while it's compiling shaders.
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU COMPILE THE SHADERS IN THE LOADING SCREEN?

This just wraps around to the fact games are not bound by hardware restraints anymore, which forced devs to push themselves as hard as they could. Also the far more subjective argument that realism fucking sucks

1. The orb bouncing towards Spyro and the head tracking of it on both characters.
2. The sparkles in the orb timed upon contact of the ground with each bounce
3. The UI of the orb counter increasing EXACTLY as it makes contact with Spyro and is collection.
3B. The rest of the UI going away to show the importance of the orb counter
4. Everything with the fairy
5. The text box in the original empties all the text and then fades away and slides off screen before the cutscenes starts while the "remaster" just instant disappears the text box with the text still in it.

Do I have soul user?

yea. you passed the soul test. the sad thing is that theres at least 10 things wrong and some cant name even 1

the ps1 jittering made everything feel a little more alive, you know?

I don't particularly like either, honestly.

Not really, it's just the most obvious. Mechanics are also capable of being soul or soulless. Take ND for instance, they made some god tier jump physics for Jak and Daxter. That shit was peak soul. When ND openly brag about adding a jump button in TLOU2 the jump physics are worse than a licensed NES shovelware game's.
You need to be aware of how mechanics function and what makes them good to notice it in video form. Visuals are the easiest to identify because you can notice them right from the word go.

This is a really good test user. There's a lot of easily noticeable soul taken away as well as things only people with years of soul exposure would notice.

Obvious shit would be the head tracking and orb counter and less noticeable would be how the text boxes are handled, the faux camera tricks, and how they instantly spawn the orb model in a set position (at full size) and try and hide it behind a particle effect instead of slowly increasing the size to make it grow.

>old, bad graphics = good
>new, good graphics = bad
Tiresome as fuck, it's why I instantly disregard anyone who uses the words soul/soulless. Nostalgiafags need to get real.

no rainbow
no soul

We can name a soulless good game and a soulful bad game if you want.

>spyro gets fucking flashbanged in the remake
lmoa

Nah you're a retard, art style matters and games with high fidelity graphics don't get a free pass to have bad art styles just because they're new.

rainbow = soul
brown bricks = soulless

Is soul exists then doesn't that mean that abortion is murder?

quite literally soulless

BROWN BRICKS

doesnt bother me, even as a kid i always skipped the orb/egg scenes
i don't wanna stand still for 10 seconds i wanna collect shit

"soul" is usually something quantifiable about the feel of the game, like for spyro the primitive almost impressionist graphics give it a kind of dreamlike quality where the remake is more just like, fantasy setting.
