Topic: Demo Impressions

[Ledyba]

Post them here!  Here's mine summerised up!

The Good!
+ Graphics are charmful, the expressions are cute, and gives it a lot of personallity, the Magma/Aqua look really good as well.
+ Music is good and faithful
+ Lots of easter eggs!  A small nod for old fans and a forshadowing for newer ones, raised a smile when one NPC was telling me about his Bike stamped with RYDLE RYDLE RYDLE RDLYE and the apperance of Gabby and Ty.
+ Really captures the feel of RS.
+  I really like the art work of the trainers you fight, a lot of them are very similar poses to their RS sprites.

The Bad
+ Mossdeep City turned into Lumiose City during the Magma/Aqua battle.  As in the background was clearly of the busy city of Lumiose City rather than the Island city of Mossdeep.  I hope that's a demo only thing because that really jarring.

But besides that, loved it!

CREEPING and LADDER CLIMBING are the best things ever. And bending down is still there.

Summed up.

I love the demo <3 Mega Sceptile is awesome and it's great to see Steven again, as well as some of the familliar fsces returning

[Spriter]

Well

+ Music was excellent and in line with R/S
+ Megas are very good
+ Steven's beastly shiny Metagross
+ RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL
+ General attack animations / graphics are good
- Repetitive / boring after first 4-5 goes.

I'm having to ration how much I play it so I don't finish it too quickly! ;m;

Steven is just so wonderful. *dreamy sigh*

I'm completely avoiding the demo. I did try and watch some on YouTube but literally every playthrough has someone talking on it which just grates on me so much, I can't mute it because I want to hear the game sounds.

Oh well, I'll just wait for the 28th. New Megas look cool but overall I'm still not massively excited for this, especially after some of the interviews I've seen with GameFreak.

It's been pretty fun, but it does get repetitive pretty quickly. I'm on my 4th time through now and I've sort of lost interest a bit. Everything is really nice, and it feels great to return to Hoenn, though. Can't wait for the full game!

Music is pretty strange to me.  It is way too similar to the old stuff.  It seriously just seems like they kept the exact same score and used a different set of instruments.

I don't mind loyalty to the source material, but this just seems like the same exact thing but with improved sound quality.  I guess there's not much you can really do with a GBA game remake, but even still I'm sorta let down by what I've seen.  I also don't think I can really say much about the rest of the game, it plays like X&Y but it also looks like they pimped the hell out of this game.  I'm excited for it, this demo just really doesn't tell me anything.

I was looking at the little news broadcast on the bottom screen because, why not? I guess there's going to be something called the Mauvile Food Court. You battle trainers and maybe buy items there from the sounds of it. Impressions?

I got the feeling that is going to be where the game corner was.

I got the feeling that is going to be where the game corner was.

Yeah I had the same feeling. Mauville's pretty small so unless they've expanded it, this is the most likely option
