Thanks, but yeah I'm gonna say my initial assessment was on point, it looks basically the same. I'm still stoked for this game and all and it does have a lot of good visual tweaks to make it look better and more dynamic than the original but I just do not care for the artstyle at all. The filter isn't really the solution I wanted either. i'll deal with it but blech I don't like it, this has been your regularly scheduled complaining about things I don't like, carry on.

I sucked at the original for the longest time, and up until a couple of weeks ago hadn't even managed to reach the Mom's foot fight. But tonight I managed to unlock both the D6 and the D20... Just in time to never play the game again.

I wonder if you can use seeds that net you certain items to complete achievements. If so, then 178 achievements would probably be trivial with a seed that gives you say, Epic Fetus on floor one.

I mean you'll probably be able to do that with Cheat Engine after all the values get found in a week or two, although that obviously kind of defeat the entire purpose of achievements.

looking at the gorgeous blue floor tiles, and watching that video with monstro's lung + extra items I honestly cannot understand why anyone would dislike this art style. its taken every last thing about the original and improved it.

It looks better than the original by virtue of better tech running under the hood, but I still don't like the artstyle. The two things are somewhat divorced from one another.

I think what he's getting at is that there's a difference between graphics and art style. Yeah the game technically looks better because they're doing more with lighting and what not, but the art style is not the same.

I do not like the new style artistically, I just generally ain't that fond of the blockier style. I don't think this is a complicated opinion. anyway the actual point was the saying of "anyone who liked the old artstyle can just use the filters!". This isn't actually true because a filter is a filter, and filters look like rear end. This isn't like a huge dealbreaker for me or anything, just saying.

You guys are unironocally bickering about the ~artistic style~ of a game that generally involves tossing tears, urine, feces, and whatever other bodily fluids you can think of back and forth with your enemies.

See I don't understand because it looks just like the original only dressed up. Everything is the same. Its not like its now multicoloured and set in a luscious rainforest. Its the same looking Isaac just with a better engine. The art style hasn't changed.

Can't you just say that the aesthetic doesnt feel the same to you? That seems more clear than whatever it is you are saying Tbh it took a while for the aesthetic to grow on me. I didn't play the game even though I had it for a long while just because of the way it looked. Its still not exactly my jam, but the game was so fantastic I plat god'ed it.

That seems more clear than whatever it is you are saying No, because that doesn't actually properly convey my opinion. That's actually somehow even vaguer and less helpful, I don't dislike it because its not the same, I dislike it pretty much because I don't like the blocky pixel-art look. But on the technical end of things, the graphics look significantly better, I just don't dig the change of art style that went with these improvements. I submit that I'm grappling with concepts I definitely do not have the vocabulary to properly express to explain myself and that it's pretty petty poo poo anyway, so I think I we can stop. HOW ABOUT THAT LIGHTING drat

I have preloaded. I am ready for tomorrow. ....oh god I don't think I'm ready at all  EDIT: My opinion on the art style: I don't normally go for retro because it's the Lowest-Hanging Indie Fruit, but this seems more like hand-drawn pixel art that just happens to look a little retro. (Okay, quite a bit retro, but not completely.) Also the graphic effects (like the ripple effect when Monstro lands) make it seem much cooler and less retro. Overall I like it. It is far prettier than ugly old Flash sprites. Color Printer fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Same here. Preloaded on all of my PCs. Every single one now has Isaac ready to be reborn. Re: the pixelised retro look. I find it ok-ish. Isaac looks a bit weird, but I'll probably get used to that. I thought the flash version used vector graphics, which is why it could make the characters go smaller or extra extra huge and still not look pixelized (at least that was my guess). I don't know how this will work in the new game (I mean breaking the game and eg becoming extra huge).

I'm not a huge fan of the art style, and my kid loved the art style in the original, so I'll probably try the new one for a bit, then enable the filter if he doesn't like it
