Little showcase trailer thingy for Castlevania: Dawn of Symphony - SotN Edition!

[Boundary Break @BoundaryBreak]

THIS is Remakes version of Ganondorfs castle??

Saying its an upgrade would be underselling it. This is probably the most visually striking scenery in series history!

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

Just doesn’t have what I’m looking for in a Castlevania game.

My Steam review here goes more in-depth.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

I’m glad people are enjoying Belmont’s Curse, this series has been incredibly special to me since I was very little so it’s cool to see people enjoying a new entry.

That said, it’s not for me, ended up refunding it. Just didn’t hook me in any way. (Continued)

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

Obviously, I’m not about to tell anyone to bend the knee and embrace apathy towards this out of AI’s inevitability, but it’s good wisdom to not let the world make you miserable even when it’s tough.

Yours and others’ work is still from your souls, don’t be overcome by that fear.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

The rise of AI is something I’ve had to try and come to terms with for a while now, something that I heavily feared and something that really angered me. All of my experience, time spent since I was 11 doing all kinds of art skipped over for a pay-to-win shortcut. (Continued)

SolarSands is literally 100% correct here and people are losing their minds over it

often I get comments on other platforms that are like "thanks for not using AI" when I have like a shitty 3d model in a video, and this bothers me for 2 reasons

1. you literally have no idea when someone has used AI or not. if your only bar for liking something is whether or not they used ai then its really bad that you cannot tell. this is more true than its ever been and will only get more true. The models are shockingly capable at making things

2. it collapses the appreciation of my art when its only appreciated because of an imaginary confidence that I havent done The Thing. At any point you could decide that you think ive done The Thing because you cant tell either way. and the quality of my art or ideas means nothing as long as ive not done The Thing, because the value is exclusively that I didnt do The Thing.

I'm held in this weird position of being endlessly praised for even mediocre work because of an invisible unjustifiable belief. please tell me you liked the video. I dont care that you appreciate that I made it in after effects instead of some other software. tell me my idea was good.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

great fear or hate into my life. Though artists’ work getting stolen is still something I very much disagree with, especially when it’s used to just make a warped copy of someone else’s creation, you’ll still be alive and your skill will still exist. (continued)

The Super Mario Galaxy decomplication has reached 100% completion, a PC port called AstroCore is now in development.

100% human coded!
Keeping an eye on this one!

[Kenny Omega @KennyOmegamanX]

Visited my good friend Harada at his brand new VS studio office. Excited to see what's next, but don't ask us for shit because we're asking for waffles.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

likely going to reflect in what’s produced. Even without the use of AI, just doing it by hand ‘n eye, that problem can still exist in these kinds of projects.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

I’ve noticed this too, and it irks me some. I think AI can be great as an assistant ‘n can speed these projects up by a ton. But at the end of the day, you have to be able to ensure the project’s quality, and if you lack the skill/knowledge/experience to do so, it’s (continued)

[Kaze Emanuar @KazeEmanuar]

If you were wondering why so many Re- and Decomps were made recently, it's because of AI.
They are often not on par with the quality of earlier decomps (SM64, MM) or recomps (MM) - there is often less care, less technical know-how with the decisionmakers and less QA involved.

Greatest video game commercial in the history of humanity

[bea ⭐️ @SlLENTPRINCESS]

this shot is just so cool

[Alejandro Arroyo @AlexArroyoDuque]

Hi @Rexius55! Huge thanks for your work on "Using Streamed Audio in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow." Your documentation made my REharmonized patch for Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance possible!

https://t.co/ZgOqaXiqf9

Thank you so much!

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

@AlexArroyoDuque No problem, glad it helped. 🍻 Apologies for not having a more time-efficient method of looping the songs lol.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

Additionally, I think a reimagining was what I was more excited for the possibility of, rather than a faithful remake. But hey, we’ve yet to see everything it’s got to offer. While it’s faithful, there may be more new content than we think.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

too busy when compared to many of the NPCs.

Overall, most of the game seems cool. Hyrule Field and the Deku Tree look fantastic, and it seems like it’ll be a decent if not good remake.

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

The Ocarina of Time remake gives me very mixed feelings. On one hand, new designs for a lot of stuff is exciting, the environments look great and many of the models also look great! A dash mechanic is nice to have and the music is fantastic. (Continued)

[Rexius55 @Rexius55]

On the other hand, the child designs are a little jarring and the new battle flow/aspects don’t really grab me. I do think the overall visuals could use some more stylization, and imo the light reflection on the textures doesn’t look all too good. Link’s design also seems (cont.)
