      Outside of indie games and some niche developers that is. Indie games have been blowing it out of the park for the past 10? years. I get the desire for big spectacle, but if you enjoy anything puzzle, rogue like/lite, arcade, 2D-platform or storytelling stuff, you literally never have to look at a triple A game ever again.

        90% of my Steam purchases the past ~2 or 3 years have been $20 indie games, and while there are plenty of duds, I've played some fantastic stuff.

        Big titles have been releasing zombie games for ages now, few are good the rest are incredibly forgettable (I'm looking at you, Back 4 Blood). Still, none are better than Project Zomboid, an indie game that will probably never be finished but still has the absolute best zombie experience you can get, true open world survival. The thing is that the g*ming industry engages in mass production of games, in true capitalistic fashion, so quality takes a deep dive as you're swarmed by games, the passion that went into them is long gone (talking about early 2000s), all games look the same now. On the Indie front however, games are done with passion as the industry has yet to corrupt them, devs dont feel alienated from their games because they want to work with them, the industry treats them so badly they don't feel engaged at all, they know they'll be fired as soon as their game hits release date. True alienation.

      Also the fact that fans have provided mods that look way better than this for free, only for Rockstar to DMCA strike them. All that for this lmao

    nah it was the right call. It would look weird if they tried to go "hyper HD" or whatever. Too many games go for that these days anyway I'm glad they went for something more stylized

        Dunno if phones have saturn emulation but the saturn version of SOTN has more content, you can play as Maria and there's two new castle locations with gear and monsters.

          Yeah there are actually three different Saturn emulators for Android. Though I must admit I've never really used them

          I know they ported a lot of the Castlevania games directly to android. I'm unsure if they have the extra content though.

    There are literally mods that look better than this.

    They also changed the entire art style. Honestly just AI upscaling the textures would have been better.

    The original game was designed for ps2 on a CRT. That hair chunk ended up making things look different.
