Ouch!

Oh dear! I wonder if we will have the ability to switch between the new and older graphics as many remakes do. That would certainly go a long way to answering the criticism.

[dohh]

Glad I read that review. Too bad. I was looking forward to re-playing this with "enhanced" grfx. I guess I can simply re-install my original purchase!

[Bijiooo]

why? why do they do this -- represent a remade fantasy world as being visually brown, muddy and purposely lacking flair?

I could say it's just a mirrored lens pointing back at our smearing shared sense of culture and identity, but that's not even that true - there are popular works with amazing visual verve happening fairly regularly. Blade Runner 2049, Dune, Oppenheimer, Elden Ring, Inside, Baldur's Gate 3 ... all these memorable (and popular!) works of visual mastery that stick in the mind, y'know?

so making your game or your movie look brown, plain and unspectacular seems to me like an expressly efficient way to make sure it gets ignored and then forgotten, especially when it's so similar to OTHER things doing that same thing. it all blends into an unspectacular puddle of mud(d).

and it's a choice. and they make it look that way on purpose. it's not an accident and it's really, really bizarre how often it seems to happen with fantasy or sci-fi. especially remakes.

hey -- maybe it's absolutely amazing, and PC Gamer are nuts. it's happened before, it'll happen again. but those before / after photos on this one are seem mostly urine-filtered. blurg.

come on, PC Gamer is complaining about a rope wich switched color from white to brown... He couldnt identify it anymore as a usable item and thinks, everyone else will have the same problem...... wtf ???

man, go play fortnite and dont judge games made for mature players...

Just play the original then? Why would you pay $20 for a remake where the only difference is the visuals, just to then revert the visuals to the original graphics? Lol

Yeah it looks terrible.. yeah....

[Markonije]

It is brutal but also a bit malicious.
I mean, it does look nice to me, I don't know.
If you like the original, nobody is taking it away from you.
But I have nothing against remasters. Actually there are many games that I'd like to get one.

[Markonije]

For me, the price is not right for the owners of the original.
It should be like 5 bucks. That's what Ori did. It was a great move.

[EzyPzyJapaneze]

So the bundle price is 12.79 i think its more than fair, when i get home iam going to get it.
So there is actual discount for the owners of the original, albeit small.

Sarcasm detected? Yeah looks pretty good to me. Still not really sure this game needed a remake but it looks nice for what it is.

[Fdruid]

I know it's a way to make a quick buck, but I honestly don't believe in remakes.

[lastbreath]

The remake looks stunning! They must be blind if they don't see the difference!

Bad, because it is the same game? Well, then Dead Space remake must be terrible too...
