What just normal drinking glasses? In whimsical magic castle?
Lmao I want nothing to do with that series anymore for a variety of reasons but if this is actually a screenshot of the utterly unnecessary remakes then that is pathetic. I'm pretty sure the source material said goblets. Most meals were described as tables full of food such as the left. Not a cafeteria plate that wouldn't look out of place in a modern school. Soulless remake cashgrab I hope it flops so hard it just basically marks the end of HP in the mainstream. Nobody asked for this.
The movie producers suck so bad they can't be bothered, or don't trust themselves, to find new movies, despite more good ideas than you can shake a stick at, and instead remake already popular movies again paying obsceme amounts of money to big name actors and using flashy new computer graphics.
Hollywood has sucked my entire life, I understand many of you don't realize how true that is, but they have gotten a lot worse with consolidation, It's down to 3 or 4 studios now, 3 with each around 25%, including Paramount now. It's going to get a lot worse.
Not just movies. I recently noticed that a lot of games are getting remasters for a quick buck. I intended to play the whole Atelier Ryza series after I got the first one pretty cheap, but they delisted the original series (2019, 2020, and 2023) to sell the remaster at a higher price. I don’t know how old I want something to be before it’s redone, but it’s got to be longer than that.
Oh yeah, it's been a while but I was playing Total War games a lot like a decade back. I had Rome with Barbarian Invasion expansion pack. They released medieval total war after rome at one point, quality as well. Then released an Alexander which was just cheaply ripping rome onto alexander without much detail or effort.
Then Empire total war, which should've been the best, and it sucked in some ways, it was clear Sega rushed the developers and forced a product that wasn't done yet. Then instead of fixing it or continuing on through history as they had done, to WWI I would presume would be next, they remade Rome Total War again.
Maybe that's not the best example, as Rome could've been improved though not sure how the new one was. But the corporate bosses were clearly stepping on their very capable and knowledgeable and witty developers to just rip a few changes to existing games to sell again.
It used to be that remakes would be taking advantage of new technology. Like silent films remade with sound or black and white redone in color.
Now, advancements are incremental and often look worse than what we used to have. All these remakes are just studios trying to monetize their existing IP.
