Releasing the original game in HD would've been the best and most logical choice considering how this remake actually turned out .

@dxanatos2 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the original wasn't a masterpiece, but i liked it. (The comic it was based on is also really, really good imho). All they had to do for a decent remake was to spruce the graphics up a bit while keeping the original style and maybe nerfing the stealth sections and tweaking the save system. But they somehow managed to botch it apparently.

@Eyclonus 3 жыл бұрын

Don't need HD, the original's textures are really plain, so stretching them from 800x600 to 1920x1080 doesn't negatively affect the appearance, does make the pre-rendered cutscenes look dodgy, but the ingame cutscenes are still good.

@Vometbomb 3 жыл бұрын

All they had to do was copy and paste, update graphics and shading, then maybe put in two or three new mechanics for this gen and it would have been a huge hit.

Original XIII can be updated to modern resolutions by changing FOV in one file, and setting the resolution in another file. Whats great is the original simple textures upscale to 1920x1080 easily. I've heard people can run it to 4k, also a mod or two exists for online play of the classic. While we're waiting on an update for that in the remake.

I was lucky enough to get a free copy for XIII on my Gamecube and loved it. The game did not sell and if you were lucky, you could find it brand new for 14.99 or less.

@@MattMcMuscles respectfully disagree. Being "in the spirit" does not mean it has to be exactly the same (an argument can be made that it is supposed to be since this is a remake).
