I think that team is making a new Mana game. I'm sure they will though, there was a FF9 remake in the Nvidia leak that is probably 3D.
I think when they announce platforms for the DQIII remake we'll have a better picture, if that's timed exclusive as well then I think we're seeing a pattern.
Ah. I thought that was already announced for just switch. Nevermind then, we’ll see.
Yeah DQIII is probably the biggest thing announced so far and they haven't announced platforms for it. It's likely to be multiplatform day 1.
The good thing about them is that those games chosen for HD-2D so far are games that aren’t super known. People know Dragon Quest 3 now but relatively no one knows Live A Live. Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 are the only relatively well-known games I can see getting them. Otherwise I hope it gets used for more projects like Live A Live. HD-2D is great for games looking to get new audiences.
I think that will happen. Same with Chrono Trigger.
I think that only happened to provide consistency with the remakes they made of the previous two games.
Interesting. Personally I far prefer the HD 2D route for SNES game remakes. Retains the atmosphere, artistry and design of the originals, but makes it more palatable for modern audiences.
While true, it's also important to recognize that the circumstances that lead Trials of Mana are not going to be immediately replicated for other series, and additionally it still required a budget remake of SD2 first.
Can't wait for Xenogears' 2D sprites in 3D environments!
It was only a matter of time until people who grew up with '80s and '90s rpgs started leading game development in S-E. Now to wait for those who grew up with ps2-era rpgs.
Probably will never happen, but this is the game that needs a full remake where they can rework the second disc. But short of that, this would be a good idea. I feel that the PlayStation games though are getting the remaster or remake treatment from Square rather than something like this.
I'd love to see this, but only if Takahashi, Saga, and Kato are involved. And I dunno if Square would reach out, or if they'd even accept if Square did.
I don’t. I think some scenes in Chrono Trigger might look good in HD-2D, but most of it isn’t suited for the style without a major shift in its look. I honestly feel like I must be crazy when I read all these posts asking for Chrono Trigger to be in this style because I just don’t see it.
It's probably the same "trap" that I fell in when calling for Super Mario RPG HD2D in another thread: a strong desire to relive an absolute classic in a modern and beautiful way.
Star Ocean 1 got a PSP remake which was re-release on Switch/PS4 +2 years ago (december 2019).
Ah thx for that correction
If they kept the same maps and just sorta did a pop-up form of them, kept the same sprites obviously, and kept the depth-of-field and vignette effects to a minimum (or none at all), I think it could still look pretty faithful. BUT because I still think the original is one of the (if not the) best-looking 16-bit game, I think erasing the original with the HD-2D version would be a shame. So my sincere hope: HD-2D Chrono Trigger upgrade (boxed release coupled with Cross, do it Square), plus the original SNES version put on NSO. Having both versions available I think would be the best way to go about it.
