The remake is by far a superior game. The original was boring AF. The story was so convoluted for a game that was text based that it made me feel nothing. The scope was so narrow. I didn’t even care when the plate fell in the OG because there was no context for what was actually happening. This guy is finally getting a beautiful remake of the best FF but there’s no appreciation.

I don't remember looking up anything related to eastward recently, I just redownloaded the game on steam and started playing it for 20 minutes earlier today. Yet why does youtube suddenly start recommending me Eastward videos? It's literally been years since this game even came out. I avoided looking up anything about it because it wasn't working on my old computer.

The pixel art in Eastward is phenomenal. By far the best thing for me. I was often surprised how much effort was put into so many little things.

The door has a peg because its just a picture of a door cheekily pegged to the wall as a trap

nice review.

I guess this guy can eat up all his words now. Bayo 3 looks worse than 2

sampler feedback streaming is about reducing vram requirements

Very good video it's great that xbox series x and xbox series s with directx 12 have these technologies as well as DirectStorage and direct ml (Direct Machine Learning) amd zen 2 rdna 2 wow xbox consoles are on another level it will definitely be a revolution it's a shame that people do not have patience but someday we will see the full potential of these consoles people will be surprised at the incredible performance of these consoles.

I am also awaiting a physical copy as well

I'm waiting for the physical release but this is super exciting. To have a visual remake like this for such an incredible game bestowed on us is a real blessing. 🙏🙏🙏👆👆👆

Seeing how well the RE engine runs makes me very confident that re4 remake will run well. 🤞

Wow, just wowm

This game has been built in full 3d to use 3d lighting.

Wow you know your stuff! I've yet to find such an in-depth look at the actual techniques involved in these 2D/3D hybrid games... Super impressive you could tell within seconds which engine the developers used. Thank you very much for these insights, really exciting!

bluepoint did not 'best' fromsoft.. the gameplay mechanics and story for demon souls was already done for them.. their job was to create new graphics for it.. a game without gameplay is nothing

the demon souls remake was a ps5 exclusive, so they could get away with using fancy particle and wind effects.. elden ring supports the ps4 and older pc hardware so they clearly had to make compromises on graphics.. and this is fromsoft, gameplay is their primary focus

Amazing games 😊😊😊😊

When Open play store 😊😊😊😊😊

Look what American game developers brains didn't think of making. Give it to the Chinese for showing me something new and different in ways of development of a new style of game with Black Myth Wukong game #1

Hello! a new Black Myth Wukong gameplay trailer is up! can you analyze it with graham! I feel they made progress in animation and illumination on Black myth Wukong, framerate improvement aswell!

i think the game is good based on scale x quality. but there is a lot of criticism. they can't make everything top notch since performance demand would become insane. i could tell the guy on the right doesn't feel like saying much good about the game(compliment worthy) Edit: seen how there were so many devs who were jealous/loathsome towards the succes of Elden Ring

Do those guys do not knows that xbox bought ninja theory and now they have unlimited resources

Worst video. To all gamers don't be so critical when you didn't make the game. Boring video of these two.

A pixel artist who only makes reaction videos on other games in pixel art made by other pixel artist, I'm not sure to understand... who are you? why not show your work why only reactions and reviews?

Great analysis. The ideal solution would have been to allow toggling between the original and new backgrounds. However, I do think they did a good job on the new backgrounds, and I actually find the resolution mismatch kind of interesting. Certainly, redrawing the backgrounds was a way better approach than AI upscaling, which could not possibly have worked in this case.

Thank you for your insight. I already had doubts getting the remaster on PC due to input lag problems, and after seeing this video I think it's best to leave the remaster alone. I was lucky enough to play the original on PS1 back in the day.

As a fellow artist myself, these are the kind of videos I search for. IM trying to hone my pixel art skills for a game I'm making.

seems like you want a remastered not a remake. After the cutscene a lot of people died!! You just want to all the remember berries as YOU remeber happened. Ben is right ! is the same amount of melodrama just with voice action lol I believe FFVII remake is a hell of a game!

Dont let fanboys go under your skin guys, i really enjoyed your analysis, many good insights and objective view.

Art and Gameplay departments in Fromsoft are top notch... Now the engine team on the other hand should be lined up and shot, they been using the same engine since 2009 and they still have not figured out how to optimize it...

Valstrax, while not being a member of the Fated Four, is actually part of his own group! Valstrax is part of a duo called The Unrivalled Two. He is the shared Flagship Monster of MH Generations Ultimate alongside Bloodbath Diablos. Both groups together cover all of the Element types in Monster Hunter Glavenus is Fire Mizutsune is Water Astalos is Thunder Gammoth is Ice Valstrax is Dragon Bloodbath Diablos is Raw/Non Element

This was such a great podcast, really enjoyed it

I relay hope devs start adding a "steam deck optimised" setting to games! Most exciting thing in PC gaming for years, relay hope it catches on and steam keeps making them. The display has a PPI of 215, a 24" 1080P display has a PPI of 92, a 1440P 27" display has a PPI of 109, 4K 32" has a PPI of 138 (google says). So all games at 720P will look amazing with such a high PPI.

Time to buy a 4K 120hrz cam BryGuy~!!!

hey guys, just a heads up, your audio levels arent very balanced, i can only really hear the blonde guy well and the other 2 are too low and not audible.

Cool

Such a tease 😘. love to see your thoughts about the GabenDeck

I'm really really really surprised this game didn't get game of the year. Beautiful art. Ground breaking soundtrack. Definitely blows most triple A title trash out of the water.

Sony games sound like ubisoft games for gameplay, at first it was cool but not I fear towers. 21:00 ill never forget how good rogue squadron 2 looked on gamecube, that game came out early. Factor 5 was amazing back then, miss them so much. 35:00 I miss how PS1 had a crazy mix of games, so experimental. Games must have been so much cheaper back then that devs where able to take risk's. 39:00 was it timespliters on PS2 that invented the control system all games use now?

Some thoughts, and statements: I'm an artist (oils, oil pastels and watercolor), and the color palette in this game is A T R O C I O U S. The rendering in the distance is awful. The player / enemy movements are shit. The person on the right, I can hardly hear her / they. The problem with making open-world games is that you have to fill that world unless you're making a game about a cowboy settling on the prairie. Elden Ring just doesn't work with the plopping down of biomes / ruins. The sentinels going back and forth between these ruins isn't fooling me. The world looks EMPTY. The collision detection in the game, especially during combat, is awful. Some of the weapon art is beautiful (not sure how I feel about the swooshing art of weapon swings), but the collision detection is bad. The AI is awful, enemies can't even see you when you're standing almost directly in front of them. It's more of a scene-trigger type thing, once you're X number of cells from the enemy their state changes. Why aren't more in the industry pointing out what this game really is? Why?

The horrible graphics make it hard for me to get into.

Just came across your channel. Thoroughly enjoyed your in-depth analysis.

I was surprised at how bad the graphics were for this game and I'm baffled at how reviewers and others don't really bring it up. When anyone comments on the graphics there's this knee jerk defensiveness that kicks in or try to justify the poor quality, maybe there's some sunk cost fallacy motivating them. The next gen consoles weren't a secret so the excuse that this isn't a next gen game seems odd and From Software has it's own solid base of fans, there shouldn't be any reason why they couldn't just wait for a bit longer so they can draw in new fans.

Vary cool!

Graphics aren’t their main focus in souls games.

Nice video

I love the stylistic direction they chose to go with for this game, definitely cool to see what they can do without the self-imposed limitations of the original games.

100% agree ..the remake downright didn't make sense.. Why would you have a plate uncoupling switch/sequence.. In the OG it made perfect sense to be explosives the Turks planted that brought down the plate.. Boss battle with Reno and Rude was nice... didn't really need to beat them both already.... Also In the OG you battles with the Turks always felt like you were on par with them...than they run out of time...you didn't best them until the crashed plane...before that ...they just checked their watch and left.. But the Remake established.. you're stronger than the Turks... You wrecked Reno..at the church.. And Wrecked Dude and Reno at the plate..to the point Rude had to carry out Reno.. Then there's..the lack of death and tragedy..of the plate falling..which feels like nobody died... In general..this ruins Barrett chatch phrase..."there's no getting of this train".. Meaning no matter how bad things get you keep pressing on.... There's definitely stuff to enjoy on the remake..but it's a clearly weaker game in terms of tone... narrative...and even the world .

Yes,Remake is just the Disney version,nothing tragic or dark happens anymore and no one truly dies anymore because it would make players cry waaah 😭, sigh 🤦

Are people using Valves Source 2 engine? I mean, I would make sense Valve improve and promote it to the point it would be the go-to engine for the Deck performance wise and Steam profit wise (akin to selling Unreal games on EGS) But Valve only loves the number 3 if its followed by "0" and "%".
