  • Original World 1 Pac: *Holding breath and letting out." Re-Pac Pac: 😯
  • The lack of voice-acting in the remake is a huge step back, especially in the case of Toc-Man.( I mean he doesn’t even laugh at the game over screen for crying out loud)

    it's weird, there's a charm in the old animations that makes them look cheesy but great at the same time, the new version feels less expressive at points however is far from mediocre I think it comes down to the fact namco now has a greater understanding about their IPs in 3d worlds it's hard to explain but eh I can summarize it as "we have a current model, remake the animations, don't do weird stuff with the mascot" Edit: why so many people pissed? I never said the news are bad, far from it
  • The original animations have more charm and variety but almost look wanky by today's standards, and some of the newer animations and features implemented in the remake are just plain better.

    Good to know the game over screen is alive and well.
  • I like the cartoony charm of the old animations, but I think the newer ones are just a showing of Namco having a better understanding of Pac-Man as a character. They just pin-pointed how he'd express himself in a 3D environment and it looks good.

    I like them both. The old animations have more charm while the new ones are a lot more refined.
  • The new animations are fine, but the issue I noticed by comparsions are some of the remake's animations felt less expressive and little to no quirkiness. Pac-man looks a little too stiffed in some parts. It's not a bad change, if they had more time the devs could make them closer to the original.

    Very lovely that they gave him the og animations, good that they gave him the ability to float too
  • "Wow, it's such an improvement!" Well yeah, it's 20 years ahead, no shit, of course it's gonna look cleaner. But I feel the original knew its limitations and made it more cartoony, the movements have more crunch to it, the remake feels very.. basic? It's not terrible, it's completely serviceable and at least the original animations have been honored, but to me it feels very "sanitized" graphically, doesn't have much going on stylistically. Still wanna play it tho

    Older kids platformers like these have a weird edge that get polished off in the remake. These animations are a prime example
  • @robloxfan23_
    1:21, they rebranded the checkpoint sound because the other sound sounded like a stock sound effect.

    Funny, at the beginning the original was looking better, but as the video progressed the remake was turning up better then the original. I'm gonna say I prefer the remake. It's looking much more polished then the original.
  • @maizakame689
    Pacman is a character that needs more facial expressions. Similar to how Toon Link is done in Wind Waker
  • @omo7002
    The big thing that was lost in the remake was the squash and stretch, without it the animation is a lot less cartoonie. I hope to see a mod attempt to implement it into the remake as I think it will make it a straight upgrade with no loss other than an animation or 2.
