The Blackangel Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I’m sitting here in my truck waiting on @Rain Dew to run some errands, and I’m listening to YouTube and playing FF8 on my Switch. And a thought occurred to me. The remake I’m playing on Switch has me spoiled to a point that I can’t even imagine playing it on PlayStation anymore. The reason is because I’ve gotten used to the 3X speed of the game. Whereas when I play it with that turned off, the game IS SO DAMN SLOW. So this remake has spoiled the hell out of me. I never thought it was slow before, but I sure as hell do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Switch with my nephew a few years back. With emulation he was able to rewind the game and keep attempting a spot he was unable to get past. We definitely didn't have that option in the original game. If I failed at a certain part enough, I'd have to start over. And emulation I believe allows us to increase the speed of the games, so that's another option available that we didn't have before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have no problem with changing stuff in remakes as it is a new game at that point. But look a this video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungie Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I can still play OG Final Fantasy on the NES, but the PS1 version is significantly better. Half the game isn’t broken, and all of the spells work. The SNES remake of Megami Tensei is better than the NES version. Outside of better graphics, it has battery saves instead of using passwords.

Justin11 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Certain remakes aren't bad at all though I don't play a lot of them. The final fantasy VII was a lot better than the original and till date still makes more meaning and looks better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Not really! Remakes enhance nostalgia while introducing improvements. They offer a fresh perspective but can’t replace the charm of originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 No, I don't view game's remake that way as long as they invested a lot of effort in making sure that the game comes out very well. It's like how I felt with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
