Just by reading the title, I knew Square Enix must be behind this game. What kind of naming conventions do they follow? What the heck is III HD-2D? Why are all their games named in the same style with the same kind of gameplay?
hd 2D just means the game is 2d and high definition, a bit redundant but the world is not gonna end because of that.
I know what they mean! I'm just saying is Square Enix one of the worst in naming games or what?
It's like COD Modern Warfare II would be named Call of Duty XIX Modern Warfare II Full HD-FPS Remake 3D Action!
Yes, the world is not gonna end because of that but what the heck is this?
I've seen worse, japanese is know to make long titles because they trust their audience attention spam.
Yes the name got me confused also, the first thing you remark is the landscapes remade in 3D.
But I guess 2D means the characters and monsters in 2D.
Has Japan made a single game in the last 2 decades, that isn't some **** remake or soulslike ?
How many remakes do we need.

What about crap like Yakuza, Metal Gear, Tenchu, Silent Hill and stuff like that?
Yeah, they did some legit stuff, however Nintendo is in the league of their own, NGL. Who still plays their games, aside from maybe Zelda I wonder…

There are a crap-ton more franchises and one-off games by multiple Japanese companies, but I think you get the idea by now.
With that said, the whole industry has been horrid for about a decade now, east or west, with things really falling off a cliff since the PS5 generation. Remakes, remasters, live service, broken, buggy, and last but not least, POZZED games galore.
2 facts:
1) The west is the big market for remakes
2) There are actually more Soulslike made in the west than japan.
If there's one thing i hate is people hating on popularity for popularity sake. That just screams emo bs like the guy you just replied.
That dude has some serious issues…
And yeah, older games feel a lot less "designed by committee" than most garbage passing as games these days.
In fact, thanks to the Steam Deck being a low-end PC in handheld form, I'm able to discover so many gems which have passed me by over the years.
Add emulation of classic console generations on top, and you're golden!
Honestly i should report you for being such a marketing plant. How do i apply for the job and how much is worth per comment?
Easy, you just become a competent Linux kernel developer unti Valve notices you and offers you a contract to do low-level kernel work for SteamOS! 😉
As for the marketing, that's not part of the contract.
That I'm doing for free in my own spare time… :-p
So you work for Steam? Is that what you are trying to say?
Several games actually, you should be ashamed being this ignorant. Also, worth reminding r-tards like you that the west is the big market for remakes and souls style games, if it was just japan it woudn't be as big. I think there are more western based soulslike games than japanese…
All Sony makes is remakes and remasters.
Surely western games like Yearly call of duty/ fifa/ madden/nba2k with no improvement and bs microtransactions; bunch of woke games like Last of Us2, Saints Row Remake, Suicide Squad, etc is the better industry.
Crap? Also your comment seems misplaced, like you wanted to reply to someone.
