Life is Strange or the Remaster?

I prefer the OG game. Change of saturation felt weird.
- Lis1 has a more cartoonish look, which fits in well with the backgrounds
- Remaster has the same low res backgrounds - notice the background behind the school for example.
- The hair from OG LiS fits in perfectly. Remastered hair looks great, but it doesn't go well with the same looks they chose for the characters.
-Mocap felt odd with the same cartoonish graphics, even though the hair was visually improved and wavy.

I'd have a different opinion on this if the remastered looked like True Colors.

Pretty much with you, there. LiS and BtS Remasters just don't really add anything significant to my game experience. I'm not saying they're terrible, just kinda meh to me. I don't agree with a number of artistic choice made, and also I'm buying those dubious artistic choices with bugs, maybe not terrible ones, but hey, I can just play the original.
It's not like Deck Nine don't know how to do it, because yes True Colours is proof they do. Oh well.

I didn't even bother buying the remastered version.
I think there's no point in getting it, if you've got already the originals.
graphics of the remastered are slightly better here and there, but it looks like the just replaced the models and put some colour filters over the entire game, which doesn't fit everywhere.
the lip animations are the only thing I'd like to have seen in the original

I prefer the original. Remaster is not good enough and Max looks like a zombie.
Wish they would have done same level of MoCap and graphics as in True Colors, then it would have been actually worth it.

This is would have been the ideal situation. Alas, we didn't get that version of the game. We'll have to wait for a remake at this rate....
