"David Perry has expressed his disappointment with the 2010 remake of Earthworm Jim. The creator of the 16-bit platforming series said that Earthworm Jim HD by Gameloft failed to offer the same attention to detail with its animation as the originals.   &amp;quot;The mistake that people make is that they never come and say, &amp;#039;Hey, we&amp;#039;re going to make an Earthworm Jim, can you guys help with that?&amp;#039; because there are things in there that they just don&amp;#039;t understand,&amp;quot; he told Digital Spy at Develop in Brighton. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ll take the five animation frames, and think by going, &amp;#039;One, two, three, four, five&amp;#039;, that&amp;#039;s actually what the intention is, but that&amp;#039;s not how it works at all. &amp;quot;When you get into that level of animation, there&amp;#039;s delays and pauses that add so much to the quality of that animation.&amp;quot;  Perry explained that animators use detailed scripts that outline how frames can be reconstructed with proper timing, a technique which was not used for the HD remake. &amp;quot;When someone else comes along and just grabs the frames out of the Genesis and puts them on the screen, it&amp;#039;s not the same thing. When I see these things I think, &amp;#039;Oh Christ&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m just one of the people that appreciates what animators do. I get it, I understand what they do, I get that this matters to them, and it must be so upsetting, you know. It&amp;#039;s like you make music and someone decides to play it on mono, bringing the sample rate down.&amp;quot; Perry said that none of the original team were approached by Gameloft for Earthworm Jim HD, which &amp;quot;makes no sense&amp;quot;. He added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny, because one of the publishers did reach out to me recently saying they are thinking of doing one and can [they] have the source code, and the answer is, &amp;#039;Of course you can&amp;#039;. I&amp;#039;d much rather it was good.&amp;quot;  David Perry created Earthworm Jim during his time at Shiny Entertainment, alongside MDK, Wild 9 and Enter the Matrix. Perry later founded Gaikai, a cloud gaming service which was recently acquired by Sony. &amp;gt; Digital Spy reviews Earthworm Jim HD Watch a trailer for Earthworm Jim HD below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
