| Kennel83 said: Reading the comments section on youtube is so annoying. People saying this is a shit remaster that looks far worse than dolphin, and things like why should I buy this when I can play it for free on dolphin? It gets on my nerves. Don´t they realise that it´s some kind of piracy and therefore it´s illegal? I´m the first one saying they could have done more to this remaster (also, some people still think this is a remake not a remaster) but calling it a cash grab and complaining about everything just for the sake of complaining is wrong. I don´t remember reading so much shit about The Last Of Us remastered, and that game came what? one year after the ps3 version? This game is almost ten years old ffs, I bet a lot of the complaints come from people who wasn´t going to buy the game anyway, so why complain in the first place? I´ve had my doubts as well (the game still looks ugly, but that´s something about the artstyle not the graphics so...) but the game looks great and I´ll be there day one. |
What all those Dolphin enthusiasts forget is that there are four distinct advantages to this remaster. First, convenience. You have to fiddle with Dolphin a bit and get your controller to work with it. Not overly difficult, but an extra step. Second, guaranteed performance. Emulators are massive resource hogs and hit and miss depending on your PC specs. My laptop is far, far, far more powerful than a Wii and yet the original Metroid prime runs like complete ass in sub-720p cause Dolphin just doesn't like my graphics card. So yeah, a lot of people would be unable to get stable performance for straight Twilight Princess running at 1080p with AA, much less the game plus a ton of texture and FX enhancements. Third, greater preservation. I've seen a number of TP texture packs, most of the most technically advanced also change the art direction, in some areas quite considerably. Fourth, greater artistry (namely in textures). Now I'm not knocking the talent of these teams. But a lot of these packs have texture quality inconsistency, over aggressive use of certain effects like bump mapping, and more importantly textures that tile way to obviously. The latter is a very common problem I've seen over years of modding experience but is usually hidden under grass meshes. But TP doesn't use grass meshes. So the obnoxious tiling is exposed at all times. So the textures in the official remaster are better designed and at least of equal and often greater resolution.
So yeah, I think there's plenty to recommend TP HD to a lot of people. If some TP fans want to instead play it on Dolphin rather than buy it again, that's their business but they need to stop over hyping dolphin.
