I'M NOT LIKING THE PIXEL SPRITES ON HD BACKGROUNDS - PLZ ADD HD REDRAWN SPRITES DISCUSS !!

[ULTIMATEMALE420]

Title - ..


The contrast between pixel sprites that are blown up x2 or x4 against the HD backgrounds is Horrible.

The game is called HD remaster so might as well remaster the dam sprites as well.

Just stating my Opinion and curious to see who else agrees and disagrees.

Nah, smooth/filtered pixel art looks like crap and completely defeats the purpose of it being pixel art. That's the exact reason why I won't get the Tactic Ogre remake. The characters look like blurred trash with some BS emulator filter from the 90s.

Funny because I see people contrasting it to DQHD but I thought the same thing about that game. The HD sprites didn't really match the modernized background. I think something like Octopath Traveler looks better. Both character sprites and background art look like they are from the same pool of assets, as opposed to DQHD and Suikoden which both have upscaled background with lower density character sprites.

That's because it is blurred trash.

Most people are asking for REDRAWN high res sprites.

Someone on a game forum made this comparison. They think the game should be easy enough to mod. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens rather quickly.

Just for clarity (because the English language is damned imprecise), when you say "most people" are asking for that, do you mean;

• Of those people who are asking for art changes for the game, most want redrawn sprites rather than upscaled/smoothed.
  
• Of everyone who's bought or is interested in this game, the majority want the current art changed to have redrawn sprites.
  
• Most people on the planet are collectively demanding that Konami get hi-res sprites in this game. (I'm guessing not this one, but for completions sake...)

I think it looks great! Well done.

And I thought I can finally see Kasumi on HD sprites, sad.

The dialogue sprites are redone, just not the full-body walkin' around sprites. So yes, you can see Kasumi (and everyone else with speaking lines) in HD, at least in part.

I totally agree. How it can be called a remaster with sprite from 26 years ago ...

I'm unaware of any law dictating how the word "Remaster" can be used, nor any widely-accepted definition that requires any specific elements to be changed to qualify as on. Why wouldn't they be allowed to call it a "remaster"? Disallowed by who?

Wow this might actually convince me to get it. Hope someone mades this for the whole game, it looks so much better.

[penguinking]

I disagree, I think the pixel remaster style looks fine. Octopath and liveAlive core all the way

[Zeeaire]

The new graphic style is stopping me from buying this...from what I saw it looks rather cheapish and there aren't enough quality of life changes that warrant a purchase...I will rather play Suikoden 1 and 2 on my loyal PS1.
