I think smoothing everything out does lose some charm for the original sprites with how stilted the movement is, but damn does the 3D in this work fantastic, Kazuma is way too hot for his own good.
dai gyakuten was so good it kinda makes me sad it's only two games instead of a trilogy
Art designed for low res pixelated screens always tend to not look right. Its like high res comic sans, doesnt look right.
Like and
said, it's because they basically just upscaled and smoothed out the GBA sprites and called it a day. They didn't add any extra details so it looks strangely undetailed for how high-res it is.
>they basically just upscaled and smoothed out the GBA sprites
Not really. The original concept art (pic related is an example) was purposely very simple; the GBA sprites were based on it. The DS sprites were just a port of the GBA assets (except for a few backgrounds and objects).
When they had to make an HD version for smartphones, they traced over the original art rather than drawing it from scratch with an updated artstyle. The PC/modern console port just took the smartphone sprites and retouched them.
It's bad but it would be much worse if they just upscaled the GBA sprites. In fact, the end result is very close to the original artworks.
I remember the phone version looked fricking horrendous. They improved the sprites quite a bit with the later HD versions.
>the phone version looked fricking horrendous
Sure they retouched them a bit, but let's be real, they didn't do that much.
From left to right, original artwork, iPhone port, PC port, and iPhone port of AA4 (here the sprite was actually redrawn from scratch rather than traced from the artbook).
Holy frick, I just noticed something.
Look at the lines, their thickness, their imperfections. I'm talking about the first couple of pics; compare them to the others.
The iphone sprites weren't redrawn/traced: they literally just scanned the original artwork and called it a day (which is why the shading is actually more "detailed" than it is in the PC port). They looked bad because the artwork was pretty bad in the first place, and featured thick black lines that were meant to be translated to the ridiculously low resolution of the GBA.
AA1 always had fugly art, the artstyle fricking sucked. Sprites were literally just lowres scans of 2D art that had it's color palette limited to 15bit+bilinear filter.
Trilogy HD on consoles and PC got completely redrawn art based off of DS sprites. Old Iphone version was scans of the artbook.
If you want the shitty ass "sprites" play the game at 144p with bilinear filter.
The old "sprites" were literally just scanned images at shit resolution with a shit filter+minor touch ups in places where the 144p downsize made it look really bad.
>minor touch ups
Something HD remasters seem to avoid doing
>Something HD remasters seem to avoid doing
1. You illiterate Black person, they needed to touch-up parts of it AFTER they lowered the resolution to GBA size, because it destroyed too much detail.
2. The 2019 redraw is based off of DS sprites, meaning all the "touch-ups" carried over, you dumb homosexual.
the "sprites" were just downscaled from the original work anyway, art of this scale is not done pixel by pixel lol
probably because it was made for the GBA that was only 720p
>gba
>720p
GBA was 160p moron
>GBA
>720p
zoomers (children) shouldn't speak about shit they know nothing about, not even the psp was that high lol
It seems like they just traced over the sprites for the phone ports and then upscaled the resulting art for the following ports. The result looks about as ugly as you would expect. I was really hoping they would be redoing the sprites or at least have an option to use the originals for the PC port.
What if you sit really far from the TV so it looks as small as a DS screen?
>TV
The AA trilogy is on every console these days anon
Because it's a PC port of an iPhone port of a DS port of a GBA game.
Because they didn't use original sprites.
It has that cheap phone game look.
Because it's a port of the phone remake.
The HD ports' character art uses thick black lines, in contrast to the original sprites that used much thinner lines that were often colored to reduce their contrast. That's why the HD art looks so weird and fricked up.
The black lines were always in the art you dumb gay, just take a look at the art book.
They're just not that visible, because resizing to GBA resolution nuked its visibility, and the colors weren't black because they used a weird color palette for GBA that changed it to grey/brown.
Not only do the sprites look bad, but the official character art is awful. Just look as this monstrosity.
2005 DS artwork for reference.
2001 GBA artwork for reference.
I feel like it wouldn't look nearly as bad if the shading wasn't so soft. It looks like regular hard-edged cel shading on the old sprites but the newer ones look like they were shaded using only an airbrush, which always looks incredibly amateurish.
Face looks completely different
i'm assuming this is either the same character designer for the anime or it's meant to mimic the anime.
All I want is an option to change to the GBA/DS sprite art, just upscaled (but not interpolated or anything)
is that so much to ask?
Yes, most people will say it looks ugly
so have it set to the current art by default, whats the problem
Investors and big money, who will be shown it.
Looks ok to me
Apollo Justice HD and Ace Attorney Investigation HD look fine since they are built on top of the 2016/2017 Iphone port instead of 2009.
The HD trilogy still has missing frames for blinking while the later port doesn't.
>Apollo Justice HD and Ace Attorney Investigation HD look fine since they are built on top of the 2016/2017 Iphone port instead of 2009.
Trilogy HD on Switch, PS, Xbox and PC are completely new redraws. They're not based off of the Iphone/Android version.
The only other version of Trilogy that used the old mobile sprites was the 3DS port that came out years before the 2019 one.
>The HD trilogy still has missing frames for blinking while the later port doesn't.
2019 port literally fixed this, moron.
looks great in 4k144fps
the reality is, even if you have a crazy amount of nostalgia for the OG games, the new graphics will only bother for like 10 minutes before you get used to them
>remaster/remake of sprite based games in the 3d era
No wonder.
