PopCap Games Appreciation Thread - The greatest casual game developer to have ever graced gaming.

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

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

should've elaborated a bit, that screen comes from having augumented steam on my browser, when it releases and it ends up being bullshit then i've been lied to and i'll be assmad

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.

If they aren't including the DS exclusive minigames in this remaster, I'm NGMI.

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!

they also could have made a bigger yard as a extra difficulty but that would be expecting too much from these niggers.
