If you haven't played the original Yu No, you need to do it because it's one of the best adventure games ever made.

 

[LESS T_T]

I've never played the original myself (only heard how good it is), but I already don't like art style of the remake: http://yu-no.jp/character/

Looks like same 15-year old girl tried to disguise herself with different hair and eye colors.

 

[deuxhero]

I thought it was a porn game. What version should I play?

 

[TigerKnee]

Hmm, let's see - no timeless pixel art and soundtrack, in exchange we get bland modern Anime art and character designs.

I bet this remake is going to be a rousing success

 

[AngryKobold]

The remake has no reedeming aspects once the pixel graphics is gone.

What? They changed the soundtrack?

The remake looks like shitty moe vn no14806, ffs

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Moe artstyle.
Shitty music.
Everyone looks like 16 yo girls.
They fucked up Eriko-sensei.



Another Hiroshima, please.

 

[TigerKnee]

They fucked up Eriko-sensei.

Holy shit why?

Also, why the hell are they spoiling a whole bunch of the character designs anyway? Is this supposed to be for old people who want to replay the game or to try to attract new players? Because I sure as hell think most of the people who played the original won't play this POS unless they're morbidly curious

 

[Tehdagah]

But does it still have panty shots? This is very important.

 

[Haba]

What is wrong with you Japan. You used to be c... O.K.

 

[Durandal]

You could power the whole city of Tokyo using the power generated by Hiroyuki Kanno and Ryu Umemoto rolling in their graves.

Apple to pseudo-apple comparison

Not sure what the CG character designer/art director was aiming... the impression vibes of each character is totally gone, looked malnutrition as well.
Besides minor polishing to the script, that need not be modernised mutilated and it fails succeeds spectacularly.
Retaining the design vision while giving it a fresh coat of paint would have make it a standout among the current offerings with its retro feel.
FYI, Parasyte anime does really well on the character redesign for whetting the modern market's appetite.

It's confounding that manga has been able to offer a wide stylistic breadth (they and their teams have my utmost respect for producing at such a high pace & quality) whereas the art in jap games are getting very much homogenized, albeit with a few notable exceptions.

Need to say more? :TearsOnDecline:

YU-NO isn't even that good anyway unless you have a secret desire to fuck your

That character and plot line was stupid as fuck anyway.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

That's why any sane person stopped playing after hitting the fucking bullshit fantasy land.

Let's just get rid of all lipstick, make all female characters look like malnourished teenagers, shrink the bust sizes, pay less attention to shading, give everyone a lethal case of sameface, and just plaster an ugly-ass dithering filter over everything trying to appeal to nostalgiafags. I get the 'make everything moe to appeal to modern otakus' artstyle downgrade, but how THE FUCK did anyone involved in the development of the remake think that dithering filter is what dithering looked like in PC-88 VN's? That looks like someone kept saving a JPEG over and over.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Considering the author is dead and can't complain, they might rewrite the "epilogue", but somehow I don't think they will bother.

Not to mention that was their 'one fucking job' and they will probably change everything but that.

That was my doing as I was trying to level the playing field.
The original was all done up in the same 16-color palette, so I dither all the pictures in the remake to a standard 256-color palette for a pixellated comparison.
Head to the official website for an accurate representation in game.

Was in the mood, so here's a few more.

oasis789 sums it well with his

>ps4, vita

Welp, there goes half the game.

Probably aiming for the 15+ market.

 

[TigerKnee]

Probably aiming for the 15+ market.

Not really the first time a VN had a console port that removed the sex scenes, including Yu-No which already has Sega Saturn versions etc.

Doesn't even matter that it's on a console really - the people behind the remake are Mages/5pb, which did Steins Gate which had an original PC release and that didn't have sex either - they just aren't an Eroge company at all.

well, excuse my frustration then

 

[Haba]

Making the protagonist a geeky dweeb instead of sporty normal dude? Yea clearly.

 

[Malpercio]

YU-NO sex scenes were cringe-worthy anyway

MY WIFE LITERALLY DIED 2 MINUTES AGO, BETTER FUCK THIS TOTAL STRANGER WITH MY DAUGHTER SLEEPING 5 FEET FROM US

 

[TigerKnee]

The pre-Epilogue hanky-panky scenes were OK IMO.

As usual, its the epilogue that's mostly fucked.
