There's nothing bad with the games using Unity, especially with a team as small(?) as ILCA

Edit: of course it's Nintendo Life Clickbaiting as usual

people still chanting “Unity bad”, huh

Like, I get that Unity is kinda notorious for the asset flip meme, but genuinely good games come out of Unity. Cuphead is one of the most creative games of the 2010s, and that was all Unity.

Not just any Wall-E NFT, a gacha Wall-E NFT at that.

That is the single most cursed sentence I’ve read in my life

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

In my extremely casual opinion. I think Pokemon Remakes should nix the dual release and just put both versions of the game on one cart. It’d really help validate the price (though Nintendo and Gamefreak obviously don’t care). Also, I wish they would pick the most updated version of the game as a base. Like Platinum was already the most definitive version of Gen 4. If you wanna build on those games, why not use that?

I admit though I am incredibly biased towards Platinum as its the only mainline Pokemon game I’ve completed.

Also, are remakes counted as part of the original games generation or are they part of the gen they were actually made in?

Part of the Gen they were made in. FRLG is considered 3, HHSS is considered 4, ORAS is considered 6, etc...

I mean, one of my top 5 games was made in RPG Maker XP.

Engines aren’t what make games good or bad, usually.

Too bad Pokemon fans don't understand game development.
They'll see a company use a industry standard to make the workload significantly easier on them and deem that as lazy for not developing and using their own engine written in a 100% original language made up of years of their own machine code.

But they'll throw "Muh Billion Dollar Franchise" as if that's somehow an argument when it comes to engines of choice.

To be fair it helps that you CAN'T call Cuphead an asset flip.

But yeah, engine quality=/=overall game quality. Trust me, Renderware was basically the Unity of the 2000s and I love certain Renderware games.

 

[Shroob]

I don't think Unity's an issue.


I have other issues with the game sure, but the game engine isn't that.

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, I can't say I'm a One Piece stan by any meams but why does live action Sanji look like Eminem?


Usopp's casting is a W tho

 

[ZephyrZ]

Of course, this gen distinction is pretty weird and arbitrary as of Dexit.

Like in Fire Red/Leaf Green were directly compatible with the Hoenn games and you could trade mons between them. But BDSP are pretended that games after the original Diamond and Pearl don't exist. You can still transfer pokemon from Sw/Sh to BDSP using Pokemon Bank, but is it really a gen 8 game if no gen 8 pokemon can exist in it?

smh lazy devs, why lazy devs no do this:

TPC should hire me, i used rpg maker for like, five minutes one time before i stopped (cause i got bored), i could totally do better than gamefrEAk

An interesting detail when using a Switch Pro controller on Xbox remote play on phone: The home button takes me back to the phone's homepage while the capture button functions as the Xbox's home button.

BDSP also doesn't have Gen 5-7 pokemon either. I guess it's a Gen 4 game, then.

 

[Shroob]

One Piece, eh?


Series always leaves a yucky taste in my mouth after the whole ordeal with Oda awhile back tbh.

 

[ZephyrZ]

BDSP also doesn't have Gen 5-7 pokemon either. I guess it's a Gen 4 game, then.

Except it's not really gen 4 either, since pokemon from gen 5-8 games can be transferred to it via pokemon bank, so long as they're in Sinnoh's National Dex. Not to mention the inclusion of the Fairy-type, and other mechanics from after Gen 4.

It's just weird.

It's the Melmetal of games.

No one knows wtf it is.

 

[Lamperouge]

One Piece is just too intimidating for me with that chapter/episode count.

 

[MooMew64]

One Piece fell off for me after Water 7.

It still has its moments, but man, it really peaked with Water 7 IMHO.

 

[Wunderwaft]

One Piece is just too intimidating for me with that chapter/episode count.

Believe it or not it doesn't take that long to finish it. A friend of mine managed to binge the entire manga in just two months last year. Just take it at your own pace and read it whenever you feel like it and you'll finish it before you know it.

 

[TheMightyP]

One Piece is just too intimidating for me with that chapter/episode count.

One Piece fans be like:

No, don't drop it, it gets good at Episode 273, I swear.


Yes, I know that's an old joke, but still relevant for some reason

I mean, maybe I can't speak I spent an entire summer binging Dragon Ball and DBZKAI.


Don't regret it at all.

Ackchyually it gets good at chapter 69


....no I'm not joking, one of the best early arcs that will decide if you'll like this manga or not starts at that chapter number.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Even if the Diamond/Pearl remake were flawless, I actually can't see anymore remakes happening after this (including Black/White).

The remakes are literal money printers, there's no reason to stop them unless TPC hates money.

Nah bro

2028

Black and White 3

 

[MooMew64]

Yeah we're gonna get Gen 5 remakes in like, 4 years or so.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, they can go the 100% faithful route for B&W (minus HMs), those games are Pokemon perfected and really don't need much of a touch up.

now do the same with Super and GT

or strictly the Team Four Star dub

Eh, maybe someday. I wanted to take a break from DB, but that was like 3 years ago that I got into the series, so, uh...

 

[Lamperouge]

That'd ****ing suck considering Gen 5 is the one I want to play the most and physical copies are so expensive nowadays.

 

[TheMightyP]

Now, if they were to remake Gen 5... would they include Black 2 and White 2 with it? Because Gen 5 was unique in that they did sequels instead of enhanced versions.

If prefer if they didn’t go with the chibi artstyle again, though.

On certain characters it just

don’t look right

Wait is that a thing? Unity is called bad? I mean I know it's a very basic everyman sort of engine, but I would imagine that would endear it more to the Internet. People are weird...
