Game is great - but...

[Good Old Gamer]

JUST like OG (they ONLY updated GFX)... only one or two changes of keybinds...

FORCED gfx (og/remaster) - cannot change it like "full screen/anti-aliasing/et al"

"hold RB to sneak".... STILL BROKEN!!!! (still get seen ever single time... JUST like OG!!!!!)

Game has ONLY been recompiled... NOT redone

But thats what a remaster is ;)
---------------------------------

Just a warning before purchase...

If you WANT updated GFX to be changed as you wish to....

IF you want achievements etc.. .then buy this game and take a dive down memory lane!!!

For those of you who ahve never played this game/s or series before... BUY IT!

Apart from that??? WASTE OF MONEY! PLAY THE OG! (theya re cheaper ;) )

Apart from the fact taht the original SR1 can't be bought on any platform due to the fan modern Windows patch that included a propietary video decoder Crystal Dynamics didn't have rights to use in SR1...
And if you find the CD version somewhere, it on the other hand requires to manually patch it to be able to run, then to download ̶p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ patched video files in RAD video format, download a .dll to play them, patch the .exe to have a somewhat proper rendering on 16:9 etc. etc. ... sure, been there, done that, played, was happy, but honestly it's not worth the hassle

actuallly... if you look hard enough for a digital purchase in the uk...

why do you think i mentioned it ;)

some people REALLY should do their own research BEFORE calling people out ;)

Play the originals?
LOL
I've got the originals right here on Steam. SR1 won't even run well. I forget the reasons now but I tried getting both games running a couple months ago out of curiosity (and I'm good with PCGAMINGWIKI and getting old games running). And I barely got SR2 running before but now it won't run again.

SNEAK is working fine for me BTW.

I think you mean "remastered" not "recompiled" as compiling refers to converting code into machine language.

It's like they delivered exactly what they said they would. Weird!

First of all, the world doesn't revolve around UK anymore.

Sure, you can find global keys on third-party sites...
though mostly somewhere in the $25-100 price range for just SR1 (as if the low supply was actually driving up the prices, who would have expected that)...

Any long time fan has already bought the originals, some of us even more than once, so the money factor is irrelevant to us – we simply want to support our beloved franchise anyway and most of us are happy with what we got, because we didn't have wrong expectiations.

For anyone new to the franchise saving up some money might not be enough of a recompensate for the pain in the ass caused by the work required to simply run the originals in a comfortable manner on PC (unless you emulate, but again, this requires either pirating or getting hold of the original disks that won't be cheap anymore, being a collectors' item).
