Ghostly Adventures was just a reaction to the first lawsuit between GCC and Bamco, reminder that Pac-Man Party was just a spinoff of a cancelled Pac-Man World Reboot.
I'm playing it right now dude, it's not kek.
there's too much backtracking just to get the fruit for a shitty maze level or save one of the pac lads.
game barely has proper shadows so my depth perception gets fricked up
>Holds his arms behind him while revving
It's hilarious how they're taking so much from Smash because that was the game to finally NAIL how Pacman should animate
why would you remake a good game, that has never made sense to me,
-remake a bad game
-include the good games as unlockables
there i fixed this moronic industry
That is what Konami did back then with Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth (Wii/Wiiware), and what Metroid 2 got between fangame and official releases
Problem is, the general person who remembers them as shitty games would most likely go "oh right, this was a shitty game" and don't even bother playing for anything but free, so sadly it's not profitable for devs (which is why we're not getting them anymore to begin with)
Would've preferred Pacman World 4 and a Collection with World Rally online support included.
I don't know how to feel about the remake, I should feel excited but I think the graphics and looks would've fit better with Pacman World 2
https://www.konami.com/games/frogger/rr/as/en/
It just came out a week ago, but it's only on Apple Arcade like Toy Town. If you're not aware, there's a ton of Frogger games like Frogger PS1 that came out during the 6th gen.
Sakurai putting his foot down and saying that Pac Man would be using his classic design and not New Adventures' way back during Smash 4 in Smash saved us from the worst possible timeline
Thank God he did, their redesign was sooo fricking ugly and uncanny looking. Its a shame they couldn't get a better design for no Ms Pacman but I'd sacrifice her to get OG Pacman
Thank God he did, their redesign was sooo fricking ugly and uncanny looking. Its a shame they couldn't get a better design for no Ms Pacman but I'd sacrifice her to get OG Pacman
whats up with the hate on this though? i think as an alternative or spin-off it's pretty cool. i wouldn't like it either if it entirely replaced the original though
Pretty sure it's a falseflagger who's been trying to start shit between Klonoa and Pac-Man fans for some autistic reason, I personally think the Klonoa remasters look fine.
So is this actually a good game then, because people are hyping this up like it's something special. I admitedly know frick all about Pac-Man, I just kind of assumed it was kind of a mediocre shovelware series after the arcade original.
it's a remake of a tried and true video game in an era were video games mean you waste your entire life in an open world system min/maxing numbers. Go figure
Its legiemately a solid 3D platformer and it and 2 were highly acclaimed during the time it came out, its sad really Pac Man could've became a household name but they fricked up all the momentum and good will with World 3
It's Mario 3D World but with Pacman. If that sounds fun to you then you'll enjoy it.
it's a remake of a tried and true video game in an era were video games mean you waste your entire life in an open world system min/maxing numbers. Go figure
Hmm, alright anons, you've convinced me. I'll give it a spin along with Klonoa.
3's only problem is it's woefully incomplete. Like there's a cutscene which feels like it's hyping up a boss battle but the next scene you're suddenly in another level.
For those that played the World games, how does this remake look so far from a soul/soulless perspective? Outside of Ms. Pac-Man's absnece, does it look good so far?
I'm assuming if this one does well thy'll remake 2 as well (at least I hope so).
Considering Pac-Man World 1 is my favorite game ever I feel like I have the qualifications necessary.
The level design is just as bright and colorful as before, gameplay looks pretty solid. Cutscenes look ass and they completely redesigned Pac-Man's house, Toc-Man looks worse too. Title music is the same as before and hopefully the rest of the tracks are uncompressed.
TLDR; soul music and levels, soulless cutscenes
It's a shame the cutscenes are so bland now. Pac-Man's at his best when he's aping the aesthetic of a cheesy 90's arcade. The PSX cutscenes looked like those strike animations you see in bowling alleys. Pure sovl.
>playing pac man world earlier this morning thinking bamco are a bunch of gays for never porting or remaking world 1 and 2 to modern systems >watch the partner direct thinking it would be pure shite >actually pretty good so far unlike the past disasters >i hear the game's opening theme while being zoned out >mfw
thank you bamco, after years and years of teasing and starving worldgays you finally delivered
i mean, while i'm glad the remake exists, it also took them 14 years for them to port it once (1) since its release in 1999 and that was only on ps3 back in 2013
then another 9 years to get it on anything again with this new remake
it's been 20 years and world 2 hasn't been rereleased at all, same deal with world 3 except for 17 years
this is the very bare minimum, man, don't applaud them for it
This holy shit. I don't understand why you'd want to play this. It just looks like pac man world - an already solid platformer - but with generic low effort assets and bad lighting. The original is not hard to find or emulate, the only thing that hasn't aged gracefully is the bosses.

>remake le bad
worst case you can ignore it
best case you get an alternative next to your favorite game
how autistic could you possibly be
you literally can't lose
I lose because I don't care about having a creatively bankrupt alternative version of a game I like, and especially one when that comes EXPLICITLY at the cost of actual new games being made.
To gauge interest in new entries. Haven't you noticed that Bamco's been doing remakes and remasters for a lot of their games lately? Katamari, Mr. Driller, Klonoa and now Pac-Man World. Hell, if I remember correctly, there's still one more remake they have in the pipeline according to old trademark leaks, Slaughterhouse.
Capcom has been doing that too lately with their countless collections. Though i'm not sure it's for reigniting old IP's. The west doesn't care about games-games. They want movie shit
>Does it hold up pac-bros?
Not really. The physics are jank as frick and a number of the boss fights are difficult due to poor design rather than challenge.
They're actually fricking fixing the bosses thank god. Anubis rex totally was just one continuous platform, not like a bunch of small ones. Here's hoping they fixed the homing tornados from being fricking impossible to dodge too.
>Pac-Man World has its physics and bosses fixed >Pac-Man World 2 has its nightmare 100% requirements fixed (just fricking make it so you don't have to get everything in a single run) >Pac-Man World 3 remake doesn't happen because nothing could salvage that shit
I can't believe the PMW games are finally going to become the 10/10s they were so close to originally achieving.
>Shitty forced combat segments >Bounce is trash because it got retooled for the combat segments >Literally no music for most of the game >Ugly and lifeless environments that don't fit Pac-Man >Rewards for grabbing the collectables are garbage >Very basic puzzle and level designs >Only 2 bosses in the game and they both suck
Some people also don't like that Pac-Man suddenly talks in that game, but I think he's a nice character so it doesn't bother me that much. But other than that I fricking hated the game.
>I can't believe the PMW games are finally going to become the 10/10s they were so close to originally achieving
I wouldn't be so optimistic; modern devs find a way to frick up anything. They will probably casualize is somehow.
>They will probably casualize is somehow.
In the case of World 1 that's completely fine since most of the "challenge" from that game comes from the bosses being shit.
Let me guess, you want this "missing" checkpoint added? Why not just have auto-saves at every second? Why even bother with lives? Why not pave in all of the bottomless pits so you aren't bothered by unnecessary and difficult platforming?

why even have checkpoints at all?

That is a decision the devs of the original game made to balance the difficulty. They obviously didn't intend for them to be in overabundance just so lil z who wasn't even born yet can beat the game 20 later
>those haunted house and carnival levels
I don't care if homosexuals think the game is 'jank', those levels right there I've wasted so much time as a kid playing because I fricking loved the setting and music. I really hope the remake at least keeps the music from the original game.
YO YO YO
tell Namco to stop cease and desisting meeeeee
The Pac is back
Ghosts chomping at his feet
Pac's our hero
Pac just can't be beat, yeah!

This homie acting like Crash Bandicoot.
tbf the PGA games were decent, however the show was weird af
Sweet I am still not buying it, because the original is already perfect and i don't trust Namco to ever make a new game
The original one had some glitches not letting you get 100%
Also achievements.
>not the 2nd game
I sleep
Where's that baiting Klonoagay right now?
probably getting ready for pulling an hero
source?
World 1 fricking sucks, there's too much backtracking and some of the mazes (the one with the spears for example) have a guaranteed hit on you
oh wow, a direct happened yesterday?
thank you brother
>re-pac
why the frick does every single remake feel the need to shoehorn in some "re-___" bullshit? It was unoriginal and stale years ago already
World 1 is the only good one.
I'm playing it right now dude, it's not kek.

Yawn. Literally nobody cares about 1 or 3.
why would you remake a good game, that has never made sense to me,
-remake a bad game
-include the good games as unlockables
there i fixed this moronic industry
I mean they might remake Pac Man World 2 because it doesn't run correctly on windows 10.
Runs fine on linux though, and in 4k.
That is what Konami did back then with Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth (Wii/Wiiware), and what Metroid 2 got between fangame and official releases
Problem is, the general person who remembers them as shitty games would most likely go "oh right, this was a shitty game" and don't even bother playing for anything but free, so sadly it's not profitable for devs (which is why we're not getting them anymore to begin with)
Wrong 1 and 2 are the ones people like 3 effectively killed the series
Would've preferred Pacman World 4 and a Collection with World Rally online support included.
I don't know how to feel about the remake, I should feel excited but I think the graphics and looks would've fit better with Pacman World 2
World 1 needed the most modernizing.
World 1 had the most soul. 2 had the best gameplay and levels though. Should still buy it so they will remake 2
PACBlack folk, WE WON.
its a remake? looked like a new game
can we get another frogger like the ps1 game?
https://www.konami.com/games/frogger/rr/as/en/
It just came out a week ago, but it's only on Apple Arcade like Toy Town. If you're not aware, there's a ton of Frogger games like Frogger PS1 that came out during the 6th gen.

PacGODS, we’re eating good tonight!!
Does it come out even for other consoles?
PAC IS BACK
PAC IS BACK
PAC IS BACK
FINALLY a new Pac-Man videogame that actually interests me. I'm buying it day one assuming it's on Xbox and not a Switch exclusive
it's on steam
Just checked the Twitter and it's confirmed for all major platforms. Xbox/PlayStation/Switch/Steam
Honestly the best part of the Mini Direct for me, you bastards better buy it so we can get more of OG pacman not the shitty redesinged one
Sakurai putting his foot down and saying that Pac Man would be using his classic design and not New Adventures' way back during Smash 4 in Smash saved us from the worst possible timeline
Thank God he did, their redesign was sooo fricking ugly and uncanny looking. Its a shame they couldn't get a better design for no Ms Pacman but I'd sacrifice her to get OG Pacman
I've only played the original pac man and pac mania but the game looks pretty fun. How much of it seems to have been remade?
Thoughts on Pinkie?
Sex.
She wants it.
Honestly the design isn’t that bad. Just make sure he doesn’t show teeth and I would say it’s perfect
i will pirate and play it just for you anon bro
whats up with the hate on this though? i think as an alternative or spin-off it's pretty cool. i wouldn't like it either if it entirely replaced the original though
Klonoagays are mad that it looks better than their remakes
Pretty sure it's a falseflagger who's been trying to start shit between Klonoa and Pac-Man fans for some autistic reason, I personally think the Klonoa remasters look fine.
It was never a full replacement anyways considering that’s actually supposed to be Pac-Man Jr. They were going for a Donkey Kong Country sorta reboot
Remake when?
it's perfect the way it is. it doesn't need a remake
they took the fricking SOVL
https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/1541776119795519488?cxt=HHwWgMC8-crNvuUqAAAA
The game has a completely new intro cutscene
I assume because the four main ghosts were suspiciously missing and Namco wanted them for marketing or some shit.
no. its because of ms pacman was in the original game. So they had to redo the intro.
>remake
don't care. they'll probably frick with the physics like every other platformer that got remade.
You say this like World 1 wasn't jank as shit
Anything would be an improvement
lets teach these zoom zooms what real vidya is
So is this actually a good game then, because people are hyping this up like it's something special. I admitedly know frick all about Pac-Man, I just kind of assumed it was kind of a mediocre shovelware series after the arcade original.

AHHHH SHIT HERE COMES PAC-MAN
yo where the frick did you get these ridge racer type 4 looking ass skins for GT?
did them myself (decals were uploaded by based japs tho)
damn, neat shit anon. what GT game is this though?
GT7
NO
FRICKING
WAY
we can mod PS4 games now?
...no?
GTSport and GT7 have livery editors and you can upload .svg images
>Not Pac-Man World 2
PMW1 is alright, but I'm mostly going to buy this just so we can get a remake of one of the best platformers of all time.
>INB4 Bamco merged all the games all in one
I know it´s unrealistic tese days but just imagine

>Updated arrangements of Pac-Man World 2 music
I would cum
bruh you always start the first step with 1
lets just hope 2 will follow suit AND learn from the mistakes Remake 1 made.
You can't lose here
For those that played the World games, how does this remake look so far from a soul/soulless perspective? Outside of Ms. Pac-Man's absnece, does it look good so far?
I'm assuming if this one does well thy'll remake 2 as well (at least I hope so).
Looking good. Hope this leads us to either World 4 or a remake of 2.

always kino. Good to know vidya isn't entirely dead yet. If nobody got me i know japan got me. Thanks japan
What if they remake Pacman world 3 instead of going from Re-Pac 2 > New game
oh god no
pls no
World 3 might be shit
But I will defend his voice until the day I die it fits pac man perfectly
He also had a lovely personality.
Best timeline, the world has been redeemed.
Namco are like the opposite of SEGA. If this was SEGA they'd ignore it forever because gaijin piggu go home.
i mean, while i'm glad the remake exists, it also took them 14 years for them to port it once (1) since its release in 1999 and that was only on ps3 back in 2013

>that nu-ms. pacman
I get why they don't want to use her because of copyright issues but couldn't they get a better design for her replacement?
It looks ok, but the main thing I hope will come out of this is a release of the soundtrack in full quality
Toc-Man's theme is going to be fricking amazing if the remake does it justice
did they say who's developing this because it looks japanese.
somehow they managed to make world 1 feel nip
The pac is back
No more remakes
So far all official remakes have been sucking
This holy shit. I don't understand why you'd want to play this. It just looks like pac man world - an already solid platformer - but with generic low effort assets and bad lighting. The original is not hard to find or emulate, the only thing that hasn't aged gracefully is the bosses.

Yeah, not playing this
Also, this game had some bangers, hopefully they don’t frick up the music
I replayed it 3 years ago - and the game *genuinely* still plays great to this day - why the need for a remake?
Jesus this is gay (probably gonna pirate it anyways)
To gauge interest in new entries. Haven't you noticed that Bamco's been doing remakes and remasters for a lot of their games lately? Katamari, Mr. Driller, Klonoa and now Pac-Man World.

Wake me up when pac man world 2 gets remade
I have good news about the original PC port if you don't use Windows 10/11
I use windows 10
I'm so sorry, you can emulate the gamecube version though.
I just want to play it on the Playstation like I did as a kid
World 2?
Yes
Emulate the PS2 version then
I want to play it on Playstation 4
Run linux on your ps4, and you could.
I want to buy the game from Playstation store
I can no longer help you, sorry.
If they call a We <3 Katamari remake Re-Re-Roll I will fricking laugh.
Incredibly based. I remember this game as a kid, had a real specific vibe to it that I can't entirely explain. Never beat it though.
Does it hold up pac-bros?
the original gets a bit too iffy once you're halfway in. I'd say the remake is long overdue.
>Does it hold up pac-bros?
Not really. The physics are jank as frick and a number of the boss fights are difficult due to poor design rather than challenge.
Pretty alright from memory, solid 7/10.
jesus that looks awful
what idiot thought this was the style to go with
Is it too much to ask for a more detailed logo?
They're actually fricking fixing the bosses thank god. Anubis rex totally was just one continuous platform, not like a bunch of small ones. Here's hoping they fixed the homing tornados from being fricking impossible to dodge too.

It’s mostly the combat sections and lack of music for many parts of the game. The actual platforming is pretty good all things considered.

I wouldn't be so optimistic; modern devs find a way to frick up anything. They will probably casualize is somehow.
>They will probably casualize is somehow.
In the case of World 1 that's completely fine since most of the "challenge" from that game comes from the bosses being shit.
the only legit difficult level is the third funhouse level, but that's because it literally is missing a checkpoint
Let me guess, you want this "missing" checkpoint added? Why not just have auto-saves at every second? Why even bother with lives? Why not pave in all of the bottomless pits so you aren't bothered by unnecessary and difficult platforming?
why even have checkpoints at all?
That is a decision the devs of the original game made to balance the difficulty. They obviously didn't intend for them to be in overabundance just so lil z who wasn't even born yet can beat the game 20 later
Actually looks pretty good. I like that it has a pretty particular aesthetic to it and doesn't look like generic CGI

I fricking love the ost for that game
>remakes are almost always just the first game of a series rather than the superior sequels
It's always a bit of a shame
i mean if it's successful they might remake 2

this game has no superior sequel
YES! SO MUCH FRICKING YES
