I think I'm just going to stop playing new video games in the next three years or so
(I’m NOT saying “how DARE everyone fail to get as angry about this Japanese actor from the 1950s as you are over Tupac,” I totally get it lol, I’m mainly pointing out “Capcom’s doing it too”)
There were a lot of Neat Announcements this past week but the routine of “oh wow new X” -> [it is dismissive of or disrespectful towards the original work in some way] -> “ah well, never mind I guess.” has been exhausting. don’t really enjoy feeling negatively about Crazy Taxi/Persona 4/Ocarina/etc
FF7R wisely took this tension head-on, making a more interesting game that pissed off a lot of ppl, but I don’t really expect Nintendo to have any interest in those kinds of shenanigans
But the “you can’t go home again” feeling has been hard to ignore. There isn’t really a way an Ocarina remake can be “Good,” it’s either clunky UE5 Meme Video or expanded to BotW mechanics, discarding the original. But both things are in competition with Your Feelings re: OoT, which they can’t match
