It’s criminal how a lot of PopCap’s best games got improved versions with HD graphics, widescreen, online multiplayer, controller inputs, and new modes… only to make them PS3/360/mobile exclusive.

Fun fact for anyone with a cheap emulation handheld: Bookworm had a great GBA port and Peggle’s console version got a PSP port. And a few games got DS versions.
 
but what i do hate is having this cold reminder instead

seriously.webp
There's nothing there, you're having an Origin PTSD flashback. My condolences.

PVZ is getting a remaster based on the 7th generation console ports:

I love the associated animation, it feels like something straight from the peak of PVZ in the early 2010s. Needless to say, I'm fucking excited bros.
Saw this leak a week or two ago. It’s using the console versions of the game as the base, which I consider the best versions visuals-wise.

Leaks also said that it offered in game purchases if I remember right; they’re advertising a peashooter skin as a preorder bonus so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true. Either way I’m glad they’re doing something other than more mobile games.
 
I don't like that it's just a lazy remaster of the first game instead of something actually new. I get it, PvZ is in the middle of its manchild nostagia wave, but come on. You couldn't make a new game that was actually good and not a microtransaction mess? Had to go the laziest possible route and go after the guaranteed dollars?
Sure, it's better than whatever the modern PvZs are I guess, but I don't wanna reward EA playing it safe and doing a remaster instead of actually extending the PvZ concept into something new and interesting.
 
For me it was Sprout Games (Iggle Pop, Pizza/Feeding Frenzy) and Raptisoft (Chuzzle, Dynomite). Sprout merged with Popcap around 06 or so and Raptisoft got away and apparently still owns the rights to Chuzzle.
John Raptis is also a libertarian. Make what you will of that.

For me it was both Popcap and Raptisoft hiring Skaven 252 to make their music. Good shit!

It's basically an easy remaster, I'd just stick with the old steam version.

The Windows Phone port? What the fuck? Even the DS port would be better than that, but why the fuck is this even a thing in the first place? Anyone with a brain cell, even EA executives, should be smart enough to just take the PC version, rub out one or two kinks, HD the textures, maybe an extra level or two and pop it out. This was a slam dunk for getting PvZ autistic fanboys' money for pretty much nothing and they can't even do that right.

I would pray to Allah (since it's now the Saudis that control EA) to save the project but honestly I don't like the PvZ community, it feels just a touch too close to the Deltarune kinds of communities for my taste. Let them eat dogshit. (You guys, though, I just feel sorry for. But at least you'll always be able to enjoy the original for years more to come)

I already refunded; these jeetniggers genuinely just ruin everything they fucking touch, don’t they? They cannot do one thing right for pvz and they can’t even just hire the chinks to work on it instead? Since they fucking love pvz so much over there, it’s like their own mario, I don’t even get why they refused the original artist in the first place, these niggas are genuinely retarded, I hope the saudi overlords beat the shit out of these jeets like how they usually do with them in their homeland. They really should have taken a chapter from pvz dlc, since it does such a good job at remastering a game, already most of pvz fans are refunding the fuck out of the game right now, so it’s losing hard.

Understandable, pvz is just one of those games that somehow kids are still fucking into despite being an old as fuck game, usually any game like it, gets infested with kids and unsurprisingly, trannies begin infesting it for some reason like hmmm wonder what could that be? Also it doesn’t help too that the community is also filled with autistic deivantart manchildren and beans, like you literally cannot even read shit about pvz or replanted because every single tweet so far is from a fucking spic like they're all in Spanish, like fuck you that’s the chinks job to suck pvz’s dick, some are even putting it on the same pedestal as angry birds and clash royale as if it’s a mobile game too, I can’t stand spics genuinely.

I will argue while its definitely filled to the brim with porn addicted trannies, poors, manchildren, and children, At the same its in a great state because the modding community for it is fucking thriving, reflourished, DLC mod, fusion, And gardendless all over something new to the table for pvz, so if EA won’t do shit so will the coding troons. tho I fucking hope saudi arabia fixes pvz, I know it’s popular in the Middle East too, next to the Sims and Fifa, so it might be one the franchises they’ll give a fuck about
