Then you need to check your eyesight, because those gameplay sections they showed did not lived up to the original in any way shape or form.
“there’s no serious argument”
“That said, what the original had was a lighting system that gave it a somber atmosphere, which is now completely gone.”
😐
Anyways, aside from you making the argument for me, the fact is that just stating specs is not an argument. The old game simply has a better presentation, mood, and an all around unique and well made Shin Megami look. Something the new gameplay shown has not. From what they showed, the backgrounds, the lighting, especially during the Dark Realm sections, and the entire presentation feels like one of those SquareEnix’s cheap looking remastered games they like to insult us with.
“This is just another Demon’s Souls or Majora’s Mask 3D situation. The graphics are objectively better, but the soul got left behind in that process.”
You serious? Neither of those were cheap looking. They might’ve change some stuff, sure, but cheap they were not. This one, on the other hand? C’mon. Be realistic. This is as basic looking as it comes. I’ve seen Indie games looking like AAA titles when compared to this. While Persona 3 gets a remastered to a remastered plus a remake, the Shin side of Atlus catalog gets the cheap treatment. It’s just sad. Also, like a said, compare this to Master Detective Archives on the PS5, and then tell me they put any time or money into this cheap ass looking game. You know they didn’t.
In the end, it just looks bad. And I would honestly have them release the PS1/PS2/SegaCD/SNES Shin and Persona games on the Digital Stores than get this type of cheap looking product. Those, I would buy in a heartbeat. This? Maybe on a sale… maybe.
I know the old Shin Megami/Persona games were more adult oriented and don’t appeal to today’s trendy anime fan, but their old catalog deserves SO much better than this is all I’m saying.
