They redid her face, tons of lighting across the gameworld, and re-recorded tons of voice acting. I think maybe they also redid some motion capture. The original faces and animations were memorably pretty awkward. I read a bit from a developer suggesting they learned lots about what they would have done differently, so they did that.
As a huge fan of the original though, I’m hesitant to ever touch this since they changed so much. It’ll feel like some ripoff or something. I find the original a gem, with flaws and all. Every game has flaws, and that’s okay.
It feels like those creators who can’t just leave their music or movies as it was and keep fucking with it.
This was a George Lucas move for sure. I feel like these issues described here could possibly have been an update instead of a complete rerelease? At least the animations could have. I wouldnt be willing to buy this game again had I bought it only seven years ago. I bought some indie games around the same length of time ago and I’m still playing those. Shit, Rain World is getting a new DLC next year and its about the same age.
That’s how I was with Spiderman. Played through the entire game with the original face so that is the Peter Parker I associate with the first game. Little interest in the remaster as a result.
The lifespan of a game is much longer than it used to be. Games no longer look or feel out of date the following year. Roblox is 20 years old, Minecraft came out in 2009. Seven years is really not that long to be getting a remaster. Shit a Killzone could probably use a remaster before any of the Horizons.
Theres a remaster for this game? What could you possibly remaster so soon? Its still new

I do think the voice acting is god awful in a lot of places in the original.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.
I don’t think it needs a remaster considering how good the game still looks, but it’s 7 years old now. That’s not exactly “new” anymore.
Graphic power and displays didn’t significantly evolve since then, gameplay mechanics neither, so the experience is still good.
