Discovering the Art of Demake
Well, for Elden Ring , I didn't find a specific playable version, but I discovered a whole universe of incredibly successful demakes of many games. A striking example is the demake of Ocarina of Time in Super Nintendo version. Honestly, the rendering is insane. Maybe my gray hair has something to do with it, with a touch of nostalgia, but I find that these demakes bring a simplicity and beauty that is often missing today.
Some Retro Gems Not to Be Missed
Besides Ocarina of Time , I discovered a Resident Evil demake for the Mega Drive, renamed Bio Evil , which is equally captivating. There is also a Mario Odyssey demake for the Super NES. There is a version for the N64, but I personally prefer the Super NES one. I find that the pixel art has a charm that the first generation 3D simply does not have.
Overall, while I've come across many demakes for first-generation 3D consoles like the PS1, GameCube, and N64, I'm not a huge fan of them. I much prefer the adaptations that pay homage to the previous generation, the ones that favor pixel art over basic 3D.
Diving into the Ocarina of Time Demake
And I think I'll give this Ocarina of Time demake a try for a relaxing couch session on a rainy day. If you know of any other interesting demakes, feel free to share your discoveries in the comments. It's always a pleasure to see how classics can be reinvented.
Conclusion
Demakes remind us that sometimes looking back can be just as exciting as looking forward. They prove that old graphics still have a place in our hearts, especially when they're done well. So, whether you're a fan of retrogaming or just looking for something different, demakes can offer you a unique and nostalgic experience.
