>>37579007>simply being more faithful to things like the promotional art and the like would have resulted in a far less contentious end result. The promotional art tended to be way too gritty for what is easily the silliest Zelda game
Unless you're talking about the animated intro, in which case I agree that would look better but don't think it would play nice with the perspective; it's a very flat art style and I think it would look strange in anything but a sidescroller.
In any case, you shouldn't see the promotional art as what the game was "meant to" look like.
>If you like the figure aesthetic as you put it fine, but I just feel that since the game doesn't DO anything with it that it just comes across as lazily remaking the sprites rather than what the sprites are supposed to represent.I don't see it as lazy at all. It's not like it isn't in full HD. It's just a simple aesthetic.
In fact, going for a completely new aesthetic like this is risky, as proven by the very mixed reaction it's received.
That said, even a "lazy" art style can work quite well. Minecraft manages to look good and it's literally coder art.
I'm not totally sold on the game yet myself, but if it adds new content and isn't just a straight remake then I think it's going to be pretty good. And even if it is a straight remake, there are plenty of kids who've never played LA.
