Sq. Enix has pumped out a variety 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 type that Sq. Enix launched with Octopath Traveler is one which has typically gone down fairly properly with followers, with the developer occurring to make use of it in various different titles, just like the Reside A Reside remake, and most just lately Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. We additionally know that Dragon Quest 1 and a pair of are getting the identical therapy, and In a latest interview with Bloomberg, the JRPG remake’s producer Masaaki Hayasaka shared that much more remakes of video games from the collection is one thing he’d “love to think about”, however that partially is determined by how properly this one does.
Hayasaka goes on to clarify that if Sq. Enix was “to launch too many video games in succession, that will result in individuals 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 collection not seeming as vibrant and strong anymore. It’s a delicate subject. It’s one thing that even my supervisors are continuously not sure and mulling over.”
Personally, I do perceive the hesitation, particularly contemplating that even now there are individuals that do not like video games that look remotely retro, and with Sq. Enix struggling fairly a bit in the mean 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 (by way of 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 appear to be they might be on the desk.
