Demake, a little step “backwards” in graphic matters
As we have anticipated, demakes are likely to be a new discovery for some users. However, this is not something really new but has been with us for a long time. So much so that there are many and titles well known to all.
And it cannot be denied that they are quite striking and even attractive proposals. Because giving certain titles a new visual style, usually in 2D and with an air of indie game with pixelated graphics has its point.
Possibly because so much realism can sometimes get tiring or simply because having one of these versions in front of us is like a parenthesis, a way to relax in front of that incessant race that seeks visual perfection.
Whatever it is, even just for the satisfaction of enjoying retro, if you like the world of video games to the point of not caring about sections like the graphic while the mechanics and fun are up to the task, then it is very likely that you like to know some of the best demakes that today you can enjoy.
MooD
Taking into account the year of publication of Doom, its graphics and that today that first version in itself could already be classified as a demake, make it difficult to imagine one of it. But it still exists and the solution or path that its managers took was to go from 3D (basic, but one of the first successful 3D in the gamer world) to a 2D overhead view.
This resulted in this MooD which is the demake version of the original Doom. And since the basis of these is to go in the opposite direction to what a remake means, it makes sense and it is very well played to use their name also reading backwards.
Bit of War
Imagine Katros in a different way than we are all used to seeing him in his original games is complicated. Still we cannot deny that this version of the god in the Super Mario Bross style It is very striking.
The demake is made by a group of non-profit users who managed to use characters and elements from the original God of War stories with the approval of Sony. So, if you are a fan of this saga, you should try this version even just out of curiosity.
The Border Lands
Borderlands It is one of those games that is very easy to identify due to the marked style of its graphics, this version called The Border Lands changes completely as expected and still maintains the same essence.
Resident Evil
If something has always had the saga as the main reason for success Resident Evil it has been its terrifying atmosphere. Therefore, make a demake version where the graphics are pixelated and reminiscent of the first NES games is a bit strange.
Even so, just for the work involved in making an adaptation of this type it is worth a try. Also, if you are a staunch fan of the saga you will almost certainly like it.
PixelForce: Halo
Halo needs no introduction, a title that has marked a multitude of players and that to this day continues to generate a lot of expectation. Both for the new delivery that will arrive and for its improved versions that arrive with the Master Collection.
In this version with platform touches and without ammunition problems you will enjoy a lot, we assure you.
Tiger
Tiger is the version demake de Destiny, the title of Bungie in this version has that air of indie game that surely another to many, a side scrolling game that surprises all fans.
Call of Duty 6 (2D Remake)
As with Doom, this Call of Duty version abandons 3D to embrace a 2D vision that is still striking and will remind you of some classics from those early computers such as the MSX and Spectrum.
The taste for retro
In most cases these demakes are nothing more than a small demo of what these popular games would look like with a much more retro feel. Because making a complete adaptation is not easy. Imagine just remaking the Resident Evil scenarios with this particular ochobit style.
Still, as a fan of video games and if you like all that retro aesthetics, it is worth knowing them and even trying one or the other. Because retro always attracts and because it is a different way of approaching games. What do you think? Any demake that you think should be known to everyone?
