Why the graphics change?

[Longgshot]

Why Make the game pixelated when the original was not?
It just feels really really off seeing the game pixelated, and i think its a very bad move, end certanly is making me back off from buying it just as it hit the store.

And no, i don't hate pixelated games, played the heck out of risk of rain for example.

I'm not exceptig a dev to answer, but if one happened to pass by it would be a good thing to know why .

Obviously it does, but it could have been done without flash and without pixelating it.

If you were reading Edmund's blog,you would get it.
Edmund wanted BoI to look like that from the start but sucked in pixel-art,and also,the artwork in BoI was a rush work and hated it because it looked eyesore for him.

I loved original visual style. I don't understand why they did this.
Remake with worse graphics with double price of original+DLC game must be a joke!

It doesn't make much sense then, since mewgenics as of now has the same original BoI graphics.

Personally, I like the new graphics style, and the original looked a bit sloppy and unpolished. As for the price, they are adding A LOT more features to make this gmae worht the money. If you actually read the information instead of looking at the pictures, then you would understand

It is rather the question: why a remake of a game that is barely old. Would have rather a sequel with new story and so on..
ofc bonus features makes it worth buying, but still... rework is supposed to be for realy old games and 3 years is not realy old ^^

I don't think patched version with few new features and downgraded graphics is a reason to double the price. Imho, It's EA style thievery.
I'll buy it cause i love BoI, but i really don't agree with this pricing.

The Price is fair stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it.

...a complete remake in a new engine and with an entire expansion's worth of content thrown in is a patch?

Boy, are you slow or something?

Mewgenics looks similar in style but it's a lot more refined. The graphics in Isaac were rushed as fast as possible - Isaac's head is literally one swipe of the brush tool.

Because they hit the limit in what they could do with the Flash engine they were using. It'd be impossible for them to add the stuff they're adding without completely remaking the game. McMillen's said he might well make an Isaac 2 somewhere down the line that's very different.

Game shouldve been free to previous buyers then

A complete remake in a different engine that adds an assload of new content and required they redo all art assets for the new style should be free...

Do you think these things through?
