The Binding of Isaac series. GOT A QUESTION? USE THE WIKI: http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.co - Games

[QUOTE=Duck M.;51650894]I just went back and played WotL for the first time in a while and I gotta say I had some rose-tinted goggles about this whole thing, speaking as someone who has 125 hours in it and has platinum god Discounting just how fucked flash is and how many QOL improvements rebirth has made over time there are some stupid fucking rooms that i dont miss at all. Like 50% of the rooms in that game are rooms where half the floor is missing/spikes/blocked off and you have no room do dodge or move or do anything. The worst example is this fucking room with a bunch of catwalks and mullibooms. I'm sure if you ever played WotL you know which room I'm talking about. No idea what he was thinking about with that one.[/QUOTE] I went back and played the original a few weeks ago. I forgot how fucking garbage this game looked.

The original Isaac looks fine and I even prefer its aesthetic, music, and visuals. The game is definitely more focused. The problem is like, everything else.

It looks like trash and runs like trash. After having tried Rebirth, I can never go back to the original BoI again.

The Legend of Bumbo has a blog up now btw [url]https://legendfbumbo.tumblr.com/[/url]

Just baffling that there was a time where people played the original and though it looked fine.

Original isaac's music was better than rebirth. At least, I think it fit the tone of the game better.

[QUOTE=damnatus;51651392]I only dislike the lack of proper lighting (everything's too bright) and oh god 30 fps it hurts The actual artstyle I still consider better and more fitting for Isaac's lore[/QUOTE] I always preferred the original's cutscenes a lot more than Rebirths. It's the music, animation, and the art style that really makes its charm. Something about Rebirth's cutscenes just doesn't sit right with me. [QUOTE][video=youtube;BmE3mwS1h9s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmE3mwS1h9s[/video][/QUOTE] Also, The Chest's ending never felt right without this music playing. It evokes more emotion than what Rebirth has. [QUOTE][video=youtube;_ie4_9L2UTo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ie4_9L2UTo[/video] [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=VintageCat;51651537]This; don't forget that the whole game is basically child's drawings. Pixel art is way too banal for a game with such an extraordinary plot, but oh well.[/QUOTE] The original doesn't even really look like child's drawings though. It just looks like Flash.

legend of bumbo seems like it *might* be alright but honestly Mewgenics would be much more interesting than Ed's milking the isaac franchise for a game based off of a meme familiar. the art style is interesting though

If there's one thing that playing Antibirth has made me realize, it's how I'd forgetten how broken (in a fun way) Azazel was before he got nerfed in Afterbirth

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51653308]What happend Mewgenics, got cancelled or put on a hold?[/QUOTE] was put on hold indefinitely. Edmund did have like 4 projects at once he was juggling.

This is a Flash game we're talking about, expect that framerate to drop a lot further

[QUOTE=VintageCat;51651537]This; don't forget that the whole game is basically child's drawings. Pixel art is way too banal for a game with such an extraordinary plot, but oh well.[/QUOTE] Pixel art looks good when everything is of similar resolutions with respect to one another. If you compare Isaac to the background, there's a lot higher pixel density in the scenery and gore than there is in the character, items, enemies, and projectiles. Commonly referred to as "mixels" or "bitmixing", it looks really bad when you juxtapose them like that. It gets worse when you take into account how they use scaling and hue-shifting to make some of the items and enemy variants work. Making Isaac/enemies bigger/smaller changes the pixel density accordingly. Hue shifting anything also impacts details on the art and the outline itself, it's jarringly ugly. Flash Isaac got away with it because it used vector art which looks more-or-less fine regardless of how high or low you scale it. It keeps its same smoothness and the only thing that may look jarring is the outline getting thicker.

You know what's the point of Big Chubby if little chubby is just plain better?

[QUOTE=jonu67;51655568]You know what's the point of Big Chubby if little chubby is just plain better?[/QUOTE] I thought his slow movement would let him do more ticks of damage since he stays over the enemy longer, but I haven't actually picked him up yet. I just read what it does.

[QUOTE=Mining Bill;51657233]that shit's a must have seems like it might fit more as a trinket? idk[/QUOTE] Don't worry, it already is. Getting rid of Red Poop is nice and all, but I'd feel bad if I was giving it to people instead of a treasure room item.
