Did you want a Remake or a Brand New Game? (Edit: Confirmed as remakes!)
So we all know now that OR and AS are remakes of the original games, so how does this make you guys feel? Are you happy about it or did you want it to be a sequel? -------Original Post-------------------- See, it COULD be a Remake because of the names OMEGA and ALPHA on it, just like HEARTgold and SOULsilver, that's the main reason, plus you have Groudon and Kyogre chilling on the boxart in their regular forms just like the previous games. HOWEVER, it could be sequel or a brand new game set in Hoenn. In the trailer you see these two images: http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu324/Aceboyo/2.png http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu324/Aceboyo/1-1.png Now is it me or are the really emphasizing the whole NEW part, if it's a remake then it isn't NEW really, when the story and the region are going to be practically the same. And a NEW adventure? This leads me to believe it's a new game. Or at least re-imagined and the stories are told a different way. What do you guys think? |
See I'm leaning toward a new journey set years after the events of Gen where the climate and nature issues in Gen 3 created in a world mutation (or region one)
|
Actually, Groudon and Kyogre on the boxart don't look like their regular forms to me, which suggests a sequel with a new story. The press release also claimed the new games will feature "a spectacular new world." I'd feel let down if they're really just pure remakes after a claim like that.
|
I think that the games will be sequels, but that there will be more to it after you defeat the Elite Four. Maybe there will be an entirely new set of gym like in HG/SS. However, a new adventure would be cool as well. Maybe set 10 years after the events of Ruby/Sapphire.
|
The box art implies that at least Kyogre is in a new form. It doesn't normally have that pattern on its forehead. I see the omega symbol glowing on Groudon's claw and the alpha symbol on Kyogre's fins, symbols from the Greek alphabet. It could be a apocalyptic sequel for all I know.

I'm thinking that they're sequels set in Kalos*. It wouldn't make sense for the 2 new Zygarde formes and Kalos mythics to be released in Hoenn.
*by Kalos, I mean the directly neighboring areas that Kalos went to war with in the past |
I hope it isn't a mega evo, they look practically the same.
|
I would love to see remakes, but based on what the video is implying, I think it's just going to be a sequel. I'd love to see it set in Hoenn as well.
|
It's too difficult to tell right now, I'd prefer a full-blown remake, but as long as they're set in Hoenn I'll be content.
|
As long as they are in Hoenn - I'm happy.

It might be in a new region, but if it was it wouldn't be named after Ruby and Sapphire would it? No it would have a new name altogether. |
They did the "new adventure" thing for HG/SS too
Spoiler:
so it's most likely meaningless |
So much of the game HAS TO BE made from scratch since the games are in 3D Models, not sprites.
They might as well write a new story mode. They should add small islands to the water routes, so the last 3rd of the game has more biodiversity. |
Im wondering if they might merge a section of every generation into this new games (well I say new, might be just re-makes)
|
Hate to burst bubbles, but HGSS also said it was a new adventure when it was advertised, but is essentially the same as GSC. So I wouldn't count on anything but a remake.
|
I'm guessing they're going for a more B2W2 approach on it all. Whether it'll be a sequel set in the future or prequel set in the past, I believe it's gonna take place in Hoenn during a different time frame from the originals. I honestly don't think they're gonna risk not making the main region of the game Hoenn, since that's what fans have been begging for for years :p
"A spectacular new world" could suggest a new region, but I'm more inclined to believe that it's just Hoenn that's been reshaped through Groudon/Kyogre, which could suggest that the versions would have different layouts :o Since the original Hoenn already was about half land half water, which could mean each version would have one of the two dominate the layout. The promise of a new adventure definitely suggests that they're gonna be different from the originals though. Perhaps an alternate dimension?! :OO |

Or perhaps every town is now an island because of Kyogre. And in Ruby it'll be the ocean has all but dried up and there will be more mountains and hills etc. |
Remakes, sequels, or something else?
So at the time of the authorship of this thread, there's little to no information regarding Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The only information we've been given is as follows:
Quote:
So what do you think they'll be? Remakes of Ruby & Sapphire (i.e. same plot, same story, same everything but with a fresh coat of paint), sequels to Ruby & Sapphire (same region, but new plot, new main characters, and takes place some time after the events of the originals), or neither of the above (i.e. something no one expects)? Mind you, I'm asking what you think it will be, as opposed to what your preference is. |

That was what Marriland said after the initial announcement. After this, and some talk in Trade Corner IRC chat, i'm inclined to agree with what Olli said, it might be an expansion to Hoenn like they did with BW2. So that's what i'm leaning towards myself, and hoping for. However, myself, I had envisioned for a while that they might do something with BW where Team Magma/Aqua take a larger approach to the story. I could go into that more if I wanted. |
I think they'll be sequels to Ruby and Sapphire.
I hope they'll be sequels to Ruby and Sapphire that feature a second unexplored region with a whole new set of gyms and towns, akin to Gold/Silver/Crystal where you can backtrack to Kanto. There's still that one guy in X and Y who says he's from a seventh region who gives you a weird item. I think there's going to be a seventh region involved in this generation one way or another. |
Don't think they'd piss off the community to the point where we wouldn't get to roam around Hoenn. I agree that it'll probably be Hoenn but look different than the original, along with a new story. Them being sequels to X&Y would be interesting. I wonder how they'd connect them? I think it's more likely that they'll be straight up sequels to the original games though.
While I wouldn't hold too much meaning behind the words they used in the advertisement, GameFreak have shown that they're definitely willing to try and break the mold in the past few games. |
Well.... I'm unsure... but on the Zygarde note, it says it quietly sits back and watches for those who destroy the ecosystem! And remember, Team Aqua and Magma are destroying the ecosystem by making more Water/Land. So that's my theory on the whole Zygarde thing.
