Remastered vs Original Comparison

Hey, guys, maybe you want to have a look at a comparison between the original game and the remastered version:

Just to add to this, the game does have the option to quick-toggle between the original and remastered versions, same as DOTT did. If you don't care for the redone graphics, or just want to see a comparison for a given scene, it's there for you.

I know plenty of people disagree but personally I find remastered graphics usually superior with these Double Fine games. While Monkey Island Special Editions have been mixed pack due re-drawn art takes way more liberties. However it's the interface and gameplay improvements with it that really are their worth in cash (although it can make some puzzles much easier.)

You are right , Most people do disagree.

The art for the remastered sucks.
It misses a lot of detail by adding flash style graphics and adds blotches of ugly drawing.

Compare the intro video for starters. T
The new one has sharper edges and almost no jaggies. While this is good it removes some of the roughness that was meant to be there and that should have been fine except it adds garbage style flash graphics on the really nice art. For example the clothes in the new one have strange waves and shadows that make no sense removing the fine detail the old one had.And you can see a blocky rocky side road in the new one, but in the original it was meant to be hills and dirt that where blurry because they where going fast and the effect was great for a dusty panorama.

While you can switch in game for the old to new graphics.
You cannot do this for all of the game, This includes cutscenes.

If you played this or are playing it and couldnt get your hands on a working original version then Thankfully you can still watch the cutscenes with the original beautiful art on youtube.

I just finished playing this version, and to be fair I enjoyed the rough looking first version much much more simply because of the level of detail on the bikes and characters,the remastered one just does not have that and looks bland. Easier to run easier to play but the art is where it gets me just cannot love it as much as the original.

Yes you can. Also the remastered art is better :)

I find that the remaster art doesn't convey the same thing as the original, but feels cheap and devoid of depth.

I have the remaster but haven't played it yet. I hope that the option to disable the remaster art is in the game menu so that I don't have to see the remaster art in-game at all, even just to switch to the original art.

I hope the original visuals includes the cutscenes.
