Yup. I saw that the license does mention Unity. Kinda of weird because If you pay more you don't have to mention it. So they probably didn't want to pay more :-)

@@Raist3db paying just means you don't have to show the Unity logo splashscreen

thats no fun though

Yeah lol I was wondering why they didn't do that

The game surprisingly performs better too, which is good for the CPU as less stress

I wonder why they don't notice? Wonder if they even play the game? It's very obvious, maybe they just don't want to bother on fixing? Who knows...

How do you bring up the menu your talking about in game? I've been trying to play Subnautica in VR and they disabled 'frame time physics step' in the last official update. The beta build version apparently is fixed, but that doesn't work with the Quest 2 headset currently. The game in VR currently makes the camera vibrate rapidly whilst walking over surfaces, very uncomfortable in VR.

@@00Clive00 You can't unless the developers expose the option to you.

@@petereldredge2329 That's a shame, thanks for replying.

Thanks for making this post! I just now updated my own project's TimeManager.

Me neither, I don't think he knows exactly what that means because it sounds in tune to me.

I think he said autotune not out of tune

It’s not out of tune, he’s on drugs and sees/hear things.

Subnautica has a similar issue, the frame rate is 60fps, but the physics is 50fps, extremely noticeable in VR.

@@00Clive00 Daaaaamn... That explains it... Did they fix it in Experimental branches? (Subnautica)

I've spoke to people who have said it's fixed in the experimental branch, I tried it myself but I can only see the skybox/sea and hear the game audio. I'm using a Quest 2 and others have reported the same results as me. I've moved on to other VR games , it's a real shame it's not working properly, such small bug absolutely ruins the game in VR

@@00Clive00 I thought VR was in beta... I thought it wasn't officially supported.

@@bowi1332 They can't even fix key bindings in both the PS4 and PS5 versions. The screen tearing in the PS5 version was so extreme, and the framerate so unstable, that it forced me run it in 30fps quality mode all throughout.

100%. I've also noticed in some videos that in some areas the rates at which some layers scroll is jarring, giving an extra disconnect between how far away the graphics appear and how they behave.

Legend.

This game is on mobile?!

@@MegaFinalRound Yep, iOS and Android with full controller support. I was tempted to get it on iOS because anything with A11 Bionic or better will comfortably outperform the Switch at Unity games. But it’s locked to 30fps

@@MegaFinalRound They say it in the video.

@@MegaFinalRound Of course. With its tacked on tower defense gameplay and low production values it was basically targeted specifically to a mobile audience.

I think I will still enjoy the remaster of Act Raiser, I played the original back in the day so just to see it back is cool!

I also like the remake of the first stage music.

Yes. It's a ultra melodic style we need more of.

Reminds me of Ys, so it’s cool.

Been wondering the same thing...

Preference, I disagree

I noticed that in the first stage

Well, there are at least 2 of us. :D

I played it, yeah. But it released during a time when there were a lot of those being made, so it got drowned out due to the decision to drop what made ActRaiser unique.

@@ntomnia585 Thank God! Literally Lol

It's a good game, better if you disassociate it with the Actraiser name. As its own thing the game is a good action platformer with amazing presentation.

@@JetWolfEX Yes! The presentation and graphics are top tier for the SNES.

Yuzo Kushiro is a master...of the Genesis.

Right? It looks like a web comic for weebs

@@SonofTiamat ...Okay.

@@SonofTiamat 🤣

@@JoeCoolMaveric 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@JoeCoolMaveric Seriously, it does

I agree. It seems like it wouldn't be in the budget to record, the entire thing with a live orchestral setup. It's likely live VST orchestral samples being played over the Symphonic recording. Which is fine by me. It sounds excellent.

That would be dope.

It’s not 2.5. There are zero 3D elements. It’s all 2d

Not really 2.5D. Just looks like uninspiring mobile game graphics or something.

Agree, pixel art is better in my opinion.

OP is actually right when describing 2.5D art, it means the illusion of 3D using 2D elements. It doesnt look flat like the Alex Kidd footage it does have an illusion of depth. 2.5D is usually used to describe the level design however which is why people are disagreeing, such as in games like Pandemonium, Klonoa or Tomba

It’s on iOS so....

@@pipikakachu And it's on android too! So yeah great for a mobile game I guess! ;)

This game is amazing.

I think the engine it runs in is garbage. Not sure what Ori runs in though. If it runs on unity then these devs need to take notes

@@nitehawk-cg6jb they forked the engine because they had source access

Cruis’n Blast is also Unity and is almost a flawless 60fps

Which on some platforms is 120fps

@@maxhoughtonmusic Yeah, I should've said I specifically meant the Switch version. That's the console I play my platformers on mostly.

Look at the tech dive that DF did on Ori, it was built in a completely different way basically layering 2d planes and after that culling and optimising. Even then performance wasn't smoothed out till a later patch. Games are hard, especially on the Switch's HW, is it possible... yes.

Ori's team did a lot to get it running at 60 on switch.

@@helloguy8934 Yup, which should be the norm and not the exception.

He looks like a tribute to Kentaro Miura's (RIP) Griffith now, more than anything else. He had a very strong Adonis vibe to his design before, which is completely gone in favour of the silver-haired pretty-boy of the current design.

YES! Play the original! It's good!

You can cheese him really easy, and it works on a lot of the enemies. When he gets up close to you, as he starts an attack, turn around and hit evade. You'll slide behind him without taking damage and you can wail on him as he's attacking thin air.

Modern engines aren't as well-optimized for 2D as they are for 3D, leaving game devs to pick up the slack. However, most devs who are drawn to 2D projects are more interested in the more high-level side of development, so they usually don't mess with the engine at all (plus, the mainstream engines tend to require a more expensive license to allow modifications, I think, and most 2D games are lower-budget). 2D has its own technical challenges, but 3D is where the glory is, I guess. Nobody's impressed when you take a 2D game from 40fps to 1200fps, unfortunately. Another common issue is that 2D games are CPU-bottlenecked. The rendering may be simpler, but that doesn't mean the game logic is. For real-time games, it's often quite complex, *and* it often doesn't take advantage of the GPU the way 3D game logic often does, because 2D game devs tend to be less familiar with that stuff, or because it doesn't apply as cleanly. Lastly, Unity is very commonly used for 2D games as it's the mainstream engine with the best-developed 2D tools, but Unity is... not without issues, as demonstrated in this video.

It is kind of crazy how unoptimized modern software can be. Look at crosscode. You do actually need a relatively fast cpu to lock to 60fps.

@@helloguy8934 CrossCode runs in HTML5, I mean, who actually came up with this stupid idea of using that for a serious game?

@@cellspeed8682 I don't even think it's using a game engine in the first place too...

Because apparently the original game is, ironically, more of a balanced game.

Unity is written in C# which itself is slower than C++ coded games (Unreal, most engines tbh). Unity is pretty nice as its free and the royalty fees aren't nearly as high as using Unreal from what I've read up on but perhaps that might have changed in recent years.

Unreal is just as free as Unity as of Fortnite release AFAIK

I am finding like Castlevania, the music in this game is "half the game" ;-)

Get the Castlevania Advance Collection instead...youll be glad you did!

There is a long history of Square Enix not just overprice but drop shtty PC ports.

Hopefully you can still enjoy it regardless of their thoughts. To see Actraiser realized and revitalized is something I didn't expect. Pleasantly surprised it exists.

@@mikesaintjulesmusic I’m glad it is as well but this game isn’t a graphical powerhouse by any means so it really should run better than it does.

I think it's best to just follow the general rule of thumb that you should only buy exclusives on the Switch and multiplats on more powerful platforms. I think 99% of the time you'll be better off that way.

@@PeugeotRocket you’re right and had they also offered it on Xbox that’s the platform I would have purchased it on. I figured given the SNES roots of this game that maybe it was developed with the Switch as the main platform in mind but apparently not.

​@@mikesaintjulesmusic "revitalized" is a strong word in this case. The original has far more life all on its own.

See, DKC did it AMAZINGLY well, actually taking the time to ensure the graphics matched up to the angle and design of the stages they were on, and vice versa. They also weren't muddy, uneven pixelated blobs, either.

Is there that much to say? They're just ports. Solid ones, from the looks of it.

@@pobbityboppity1110 Of course there is. Platform differences, emulation quality, quality of life additions (if any), additional content or features. Also, when I watch John Linneman, I like to hear him discuss a game when it first launched, progressed the series or improved on the genre, the developers, etc. Have you never watched one of his DF Retros or when he teams up with My Life in Gaming?

Framerates between 30 60 and even 120 are only acceptable in VRR

@@RayVa0 No VRR on Switch. It’s just a weird decision to allow it to be so variable

@@markwebster4996 They probably don't care enough about lower frame rates I guess. But ehh. That sounds a bit weird. Maybe the ones in charge don't care enough. But that would just make their management sound poor.

I agree. I think it is an excellent reimagining of the original's graphics.

The device is still not a worthy opponent for a black tiger remaster. Maybe ps7

@@solanumtuberosa Can't wait for ray tracing in Life of Black Tiger: Director's Cut for PS7

Oh yes! 🙌 and also Sky Blazer!

Yeah, they’re definitely the worst part, I’d have much preferred they left the Raiser sections as they were.

They really aren't that bad and they are like 15% of the game

If they weren't part of the game, then it wouldn't be Actraiser, just another generic platformer.

@@CaptAwesumNo1Zone that 15% you're saying is 2 hours long that's going to put a lot people off playing the game.

Those are my favorite parts

Also I like the ST but it does sound too much like castlevania, but not that's not necessarily a bad thing.

There's absolutely no reason they'd bother emulating the SPC chip in-game. That'd be a lot of headache for no actual gain. Undoubtedly the new tracks are just digital audio, recorded from Yuzo Koshiro's setup.

@@jasonblalock4429 Yuzo still likes to create music with original hardware. If you follow him on Twitter, you'll see him post that sort of thing. He made an OutRun remix tune and played it back on the Yamaha YM2612 chip set a few months ago. So his new arrangements, working on an original SPC700 setup, wouldn't really surprise me.

@@videogameobsession Right. I'm sure that *Yuzo* is working on actual hardware. But what we're hearing in the game is undoubtedly just a digital recording taken from his equipment. There'd be no reason to stick an SPC emulator in the game itself.

@@jasonblalock4429 Oh, I see what you meant. Yes, it's likely Ogg Vorbis in the game.
