I expected them to eventually remake Ocarina of Time again but I do believe Ship of Harkinian is the best way to play it

@eris This is why I'm expecting this, or at least want to, to be a half reimagining. New stuff, expanded everything (not to BOTW level...), but you can recognize the old into the new, so them reimagining it but not fucking it up to crazy level

Old N64 design won't work in new graphics anyways, plus we had a perfectly fine port on the 3DS already. So

@coolboymew I don't expect any actual reimagining, probably just new engine / art style

@eris That would be insane, a lot of stuff inside is fine for an N64 game, but would be heavily crazy outdated nowadays. Hyrule Field was nutters back when I was like 10ish years old, nowadays? Kind of a joke

This isn't a JRPG like FF7 where they could have graphic'd it up just fine without changing too much, for this, it would absolutely be an issue

@coolboymew to be fair FF7 was filled with unnecessary mini games to stretch it out into 3 games lol

@eris I'm just saying that the game itself due to being a JRPG would've been fine if they changed the still 2D environment to 3D with some amount of minimal work, not stretch it to 3 games and call it a day. Mostly

It's just that OOT, man... I don't dislike the Kokiri Forest, for example, but it wouldn't be terribly acceptable in full HD graphics. The Lost Woods is kinda shit. etc. It's just a game of it's time, and it's still excellent for that. But if they're going to graphic'd it up to this level, they just can't just change it minimally and get away with that, the game would look ridiculous compared to a JRPG of that era IMO

I've appreciated this dudes artwork on the subject, he based it on the og artwork which is the right way to go imo.

It's not perfect imo. They messed up the lighting which made some scenes a lot less impactful. Otherwise yes character models are better etc...

@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @eris oh yeah. SoH is like crack tbh I can't stop replaying it. All the qol updates make the game so much better it's wild. Also randomizers and archipelago support rock.

@georgia @eris MM was crazy lightning in a bottle that would never be replicated, but it's crazy that they had to mess with it to this level

@georgia @eris Never played the one on GC because I had just done it on N64, but I bought a used rental store copy and oof, it was fragile

My N64 was on the huge CRT TV we were given at some point and if my toe just barely touched the TV, the game would glitch and freeze. To add insult to injury, the way the game would freeze is suddenly show a frame from the scarecrow dancing cutscene with his face on the screen, would make me jump every goddamn time

@georgia @coolboymew @eris Didn't it also have some weird sound bug? I remember it actually warning you about it when you booted the game.

@pettanko @coolboymew @eris there may have been something with the rumble too

@georgia @coolboymew @eris Oh, maybe. Once I got a Wavebird it's pretty much all I used so at a certain point I stopped playing GC games with rumble anyway.

@georgia @coolboymew there's a YouTube video about it, basically development rush of course. Miyamoto gave them less than a year to make it
