Sq. Enix has pumped out plenty of HD-2D video games over the previous few years, and the producer of the Dragon Quest 3 remake is apprehensive you would possibly get “bored” of them.
The HD-2D model that Sq. Enix launched with Octopath Traveler is one which has typically gone down fairly properly with followers, with the developer happening to make use of it in a variety of different titles, just like the Stay A Stay remake, and most not too long ago Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. We additionally know that Dragon Quest 1 and a pair of are getting the identical remedy, and In a latest interview with Bloomberg, the JRPG remake’s producer Masaaki Hayasaka shared that much more remakes of video games from the sequence is one thing he’d “love to think about”, however that partially will depend on how properly this one does.
Hayasaka goes on to clarify that if Sq. Enix was “to launch too many video games in succession, that may result in folks being bored of these video games. On the flipside, if there’s an excessive amount of of a span between launches, that may additionally result in the sequence not seeming as vibrant and strong anymore. It’s a delicate subject. It’s one thing that even my supervisors are consistently not sure and mulling over.”
Personally, I do perceive the hesitation, particularly contemplating that even now there are folks that do not like video games that look remotely retro, and with Sq. Enix struggling fairly a bit in the intervening time, the hesitancy is warranted. Fortunate for it, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake appears to be going fairly properly, as simply yesterday it hit a peak of greater than 45,000 gamers on Steam alone (through SteamDB), a really wholesome determine for a remake of a single-player RPG.
Whether or not these numbers maintain up for the upcoming remakes of the primary and second video games is one other query, however no less than for now extra HD-2D remakes seem to be they might be on the desk.
