How are Joel super odd, all over the place facial expressions in the last few seconds (most impactful black screen in videogame history in the original) making this scene "just as powerful if not more so"?
I don't see anything odd about his expressions....
I don't know, i'm probably too used to the original, but it looks simply ridiculous to me.
smh...i seriously don't think anyone who plays this for the first time is going to care as much as some of you really think... Nothing is happening here that is some "super odd" thing going on.
Super odd is fucking Mass Effect Andromeda's weird face glitches, nothing is going on here in terms of how he is looking that we wouldn't expect from someone looking down the barrel of a gun of a crazy man....
So I think this whole exaggerating every last thing and nitpicking and trying to sensationalize ever 40 second clip is what is going to get many to ignore these type of over the top exaggerations. The moment you say something like "too used to the original" Trust me man, many might disregard what you are saying as gatekeeping and see it as some fanboy rage.
I've learned to literally ignore this type of thing as many times before I believed the fans of those IP. They'd say shit like "This is the WORST Far Cry, stay away" and me being a fan of Far Cry 2 and not playing the series in generations listened...I end up getting Far Cry 5 used years later and give a try...ends up being one of my favorite in the series and I wonder what they were even talking about, look up the meta user reviews and its filled with a bunch of irrelevant nonsense and just massive exaggerations that make me question anything someone states that played the "original" or played the series prior or something like that. I makes it sound like the info given may not be honest and from a person that likes the original so much...they'll just lie and bash any remake. This makes it even worse as there are legit some remakes and remasters that are truly bad, like those AC remasters or even that Silent Hill remaster last gen.
Point is...when someone comes across as some fan of the original, it might not have people open up to believe their view, it might have them consider its some fan crazed, gatekeeping, anything other then the original is "badz" mindset. We have many remakes and remasters I'd say for folks to stay away from or has too many issues or something, I can't see that this would be one of them.
Like I'd say to stay away from Persona 3 port coming out soon as its the PSP one aka..the worst one. I don't say this as a fan of Persona 3 solely, I say this as someone that played both, would love a good remaster, but will warn that one version lacks too many features to recommend. Yet how can anyone find that info and believe it if they just think I'm some gatekeeping fan trying to stop them from playing the best version? This simply isn't enough here imho to make a huge deal out of as I've seen some fuck ups in remakes and remasters and this doesn't have enough to throw in that list.
