...no.

People are scrambling for reasons to hate this. From what I've seen of it already it definitely looks better. There is no question about it.

I dont hate it at all, i love DI Riptide, I just think the graphics look worse, I'm just in process of uploading a 10 minute 4k (4096x2160) UHD gameplay video to youtube to show the graphics are worse.. :(

only thing that bugs me is... why did the remove the rain effect
i mean... in original game it rained all the time

ask for a refund if you do not like it, its the 6000000000000000° thread about "I do not like DI remastered and I will let you know why"

Anti Aliasing does not make a blind bit of difference running the game in such a high resolution. you do not notice any "Jaggies" in 4k

In my previous post i stated "I dont hate it at all, i love DI Riptide, I just think the graphics look worse".. It's my opinion, and reading throuigh this forum, looks like others have the same opinion..

[Morrigan]

nobody care about your opinion btw.

Obviously you did, hence your replies..

Scottish...RELAX...The game is better with or without your comparisons. Sit back, relax and let us enjoy our game. If you don't like it, quit trolling and be gone. Your silence will be our peace brudda. Delete the game and go troll somewhere else.

With all due respect, i thought the whole point in a "forum" was to deliberate, be opinionated about the relevant game etc..
Not sure what part of my post would be classed as "trolling" as my discussion is purley based on the comparison of the graphics between the two games "brudda"..!

From a purely technical standpoint, the Definitive Editions are without a doubt an improvement, that's purely objective, so in that respect, it baffles me how one could suggest that the graphics are better in the original.

However, there are some artistic changes to things, whether they be a direct result of the new lighting and shading technologies, or deliberate aesthetic changes to better fit the shift in style that the new engine brings, and those things are purely down to personal preference. Colours are more subdued, the whole aesthetic has a more grounded style and the lighting is much more natural in this version; I don't mind the new look, personally, and the technical improvements are very nice, but I can see why some might prefer the bright, sun-drenched, almost cartoony-looking original.

You are complaining about a game that costed 3 dollars? LOL!

The graphics in the definitive version is no doubt better. However there are some key things that just bothers me graphics wise. Riptide doesn't have the vibrancy it used to have in the original version. The new lighting's good in the first definitive version, but on Riptide it seems to fluctuate from normal to blinding bright while traversing Palanai Island mostly in the jungle area which is kinda annoying. The Backround skybox illusion is now more noticably fake: the jagged geography, distant foilage, distant islands. In the original version of Riptide, the backround was obscured by some blurring effect which gaved them depth; now that the blurring effect's removed it's more noticible that they're just flat and not real geograhic models. I've been playing on the first map for about 40 minutes and I guess they removed the rain effect. So basically these need to be tweaked out.
