Toki HD remake
Xiaou2:
If you look at the very first frames of the Video, you can see the original
Toki morphing to the new. One thing that stands up clearly, is that the actual
main character has MORE shading on the Original that the Updated version.
Its really odd, because they did ok on the backgrounds... yet the main game
sprites are very poorly shaded, and look like a flat cartoon. You can see the
impact even greater... at time frame " :36 " Where there is a cone shaped
rock. There is no shading to make it look like a cone.
This is why the remake looks like a cheesy flash game, and actually, not as
nice as the original... which is shaded better, and has a higher contrast scheme.
Too bad really. Fix those issues, and even I may have bought the remake.
Xiaou2:
Also, you cant really compare this to Dragons Lair, because with DL, it was made
at a time when no game could output so much color and so much detail.
If the original Toki had flat characters, then people would not be as offended,
because the game would have originally looked more like a poorly drawn cartoon.
Instead, the original had a more 3d realistic look to it... much like how Marble Madness
looked more realistic than cartoonish.
DL had no precursor, so there is no comparison to make. However, it would be
Awesome if someone went back and re-shaded the main character animations
with actual shading...
(and then made it steroscopic on top of that :) )

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. If they did fix the contrast a bit more, with the more animated characters, this game would be a beast!

Well, it is still a work-in-progress...perhaps someone should send them an email. ::)

X... you're just a big ole bowl full of fun aren't ya? Do you get off on being a constant downer?
I've never played the original, but the new version looks good from the video. Maybe it's time to bust out some Toki on MAME....

That's just what I did
Not to bad, not great, but pretty fun... till it gets to the point where you have to memorize EVERYTHING in order to progress
That gets a little frustrating for me
