Old Graphics Vs New Graphics?

[Amiga Forever]

Old graphics seem better and much lighter(Easy to see)

New Graphics seem smooth but much darker even if you turn on HDR!

i perfer old graphics :)

Yeah old graphics are much better, with the new graphics all the spaces looks very small and plastiki.

You also prefer Amiga to the PS5 and XSX.

I much prefer the newer visuals personally.

Yeah it's darker in places than before but that's fine with me, adds more atmosphere etc.
Considering how simplistic the game is, compared to todays games at least, I love seeing the visual potential of these remasters.

It just shows that with some TLC any old game can genuinely look amazing today.
I hope to see a lot more old games get modern remasters like this, ones that actually stay faithful to the original games as much as possible.

Only one I know that's coming that has me very excited is Front Mission 3 atm.
Can't wait to see that one.

Ive played with new graphics for about 99% of the time, only switching to compare or when too dark

New graphics 100%. Now Lara finally looks as in all the ad's back then and even better than the ingame cutscenes. Plus once you have seen the warm light of the sunset in the first chapter of TR3, you most likely wouldnt want to go back again.

True OG players pull out their pistols and shoot constantly :P

I do change the graphics sometimes just for the reminder of how different it all looks.
It's such a nice feature, the Command & Conquer remasters have it as well.

My only real complaint about it though is the framerate drop using the old graphics.
I get why the limited it but it would be nice to have an option to run it at the same fps the new graphics run in.

Indeed, old players dont use flares or switch to old grapgics when too dark, just use pistols, also I switch constantly to compare how it was and often the old graphics was darker, not the other way.
There is a water section at opera house that is pitch black without flare in old graphics but in new graphics you can just see everything fine and no flare needed (because underwater so shooting will not help). Honestly I got disappointed new graphics allowed me to see everything there, it absolutely made no sense and should be complete darkness there (and at some other locations where it is also darkness in old graphics but in new one we have light for some wtf reason)

old graphics are not what the game looked like on 3dfx hardware

not at all, its just barebone.

new graphics have dynamic light sources

they are darker sometimes but then lighter again if there is some kind of light
