Subject: The button that switches between the new graphics and the old graphics

In Anniversary, they say your gonna have a button that instantly switches between the old game and the remake. I think that is stupid, I don't think it should be that easy to take away the entire reason you purchase the game so easily, even if you can switch it right back, it takes away from the feeling the world is solid and a lot of the immersion that is supposed to come from all the updated stuff. Like the button is just gonna be blatantly there in your face on the controller and every time you press it because you definitely will for the very fact it is there you will be removed from the immersive experience and made to realize your still playing an old game, which will be annoying to me at least. Why can't they just have that as an option or something, I mean, for me such a button will bother me I can't really say why it just will.

So basically I think the button to instantly switch between the old game and the remake will just be annoying being there tempting you to press it all the time when it really doesn't do anything except confuse your suspension of disbelief.

I mean I'm buying Anniversary for the remake, I don't want some button that makes everything look and sound crappy distracting me when I am trying to take in the new experience, pff omf this button is gunna piss me of SO MUCH I LIKE BEING ABLE TO PRESS EVERYTHING YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND ME GET OUT OF MY LIFEE

I hope you can remove it in the control options or something

I'm watching you.

You make it sound like the button is evil and is forcing you to press it. Don't be ridiculous.

  • 11.01.2011 3:23 PM PDT

Wait a minute.

They're giving you the option to play the game as it was in its glory days(or not), and you're complaining that they aren't giving you the option?

Excuse me, but I do believe you need to go back to school.

  • 11.01.2011 3:25 PM PDT

No, I'm complaining that they are making the option TO EASY! TO EASY SO MUCH THAT IT IS UNAVOIDABLE! GODDAMNIT FOODFBNSWNBOSDBNO

I like your spawn can I have it?

I seeno reason why the button would tempt you like that. I'll play it both ways, then which ever I like I'll play it like that.

  • 11.01.2011 3:50 PM PDT

Ok, that's one of the reasons this button makes me angry, WHY WOULD YOU BUY ANNIVERSARY IF YOUR NOT GOING TO PLAY THE REMAKE! WTF

I agree OP.

Much like the jump button, I can't help but press it. I recommend that 343i makes it so to switch back, you need to enter a series of codes using every button on the controller.

Though I get what your trying to say, I can't help but say that would be extremely annoying.

  • 11.01.2011 10:58 PM PDT

no. nonono

I think they should remove shooting as well. I always get so tempted to shoot enemies when I see them!

The reasonable argument for making it an option than a default button:

Stop cheaters from claiming segmented work as single segment

What do I mean? Well, isn't there a fade out to black? I don't recall it being instantaneous. The lack of Theater and campaign scoring also diminishes the credibility of such potential runs.

I understand that, but I just don't think it needs to be made one of the controller buttons since it will get annoying ignoring it when you are trying to get immersed in the experience. Personally, I just want to play with the new graphics and appreciate all the detail on the dead bodies without being tempted to press a button that instantly takes away the entire reason I payed 60 dollars for an old game I've already played. I know its easy to mock me and say just don't press the button or just turn it back but its not that simple at least for me, like the example with the jump button.

The thing is shooting is necessary to the game mechanics while instantly switching to old graphics is not, in no way was that clever, and I'm not saying they should remove the ability to play the original just that they should further separate it from the updated version or allow you to remove the button.

What the -blam!- are you on about?

Just don't think about the button. When you're playing the game it will slip away from your current thoughts.

Just sit back and enjoy the game.

  • 11.05.2011 7:23 PM PDT

you could always like, you know, not push it? I sense a smidgen of sarcasm in your posts, but I don't even know anymore with some of the people on this site

It's just an extra option to help you see the difference between the new and old graphics. I personally think it's a good idea, especially on levels like AotCR where snow generally just looks like....snow, no matter how great or bad the graphics are.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there will be significant changes on that level, but in most of the vids with that level in it I can't see much difference
