This looks awful, I'm glad I already own the originals

Seriously, this looks really, really bad. What were they thinking?

Does this mean people who have already bought the games will have them removed from their game library?

Hahaha...that was a good one.

No, really - I'm glad, I own the originals.

No.

These are only able to exist for profit because the DOSBox devs refuse to implement xbr or xbrz filters.

There's no precedent for that as far as I'm aware. On the contrary, there is a precedent for removed products staying in your library, so I'm sure it'll be ok. If anything, we're the lucky ones. Anyone else who wants the classic versions has to pay more and get the 'remasters' too. A bit like the D&D Enhanced Editions.

LEAVE SIMON ALONE (and bring back the sequels here) !!!

No, the Lucas Arts adventure remakes are no money grab, but I do feel that they were remade without much regard for the choices behind the ideas for the design that went into making the classics at the time. Some of the new graphics are clunky in places and in the case of Grim Fandango and Full Throttle (don't know about Day of the Tentacle yet) I especially dislike that so many bugs were introduced that were never there before.

In case of the former I'm talking about cigarette smoke leaving through the top of the skull of every smoking NPC, water animations not looping correctly and missing underwater reverberation for all characters. In case of the latter there's missing music, music tracks abruptly ending, missing cloud animation in for example Melonweed and cars being visible over every other object, like stadion lamps, during the destruction derby.

The Full Throttle bugs are just ones I found by merely watching a playthrough on Youtube, so I shudder to think what else might be wrong and I wonder if the remasters were ever rigorously tested or given much attention to solving these issues.

I for one don't get the near universal praise for most of these remasters.

HOLY SHIT, they literally took the audio from the 20th Anniversary trailer, edited the original voiceover where it says "For twenty years...", deleted the word "twenty", and now it sounds really weird, like "For ers...". These fucking cheapskates didn't even have the decency to hire a voice actor to do a new voiceover for this trailer.

Please don't buy this crap, it's clearly just a zero-effort cash grab.

I'm fine with the originals. Thanks. This is just another fugly money-grubbing attempt.

I watch the first trailer smiling and thinking it was a joke about the awfull release of Chrono Trigger on Steam and the stupid filters and blurry effects Squarenix put in it...
After the second i notice is not a joke. They are seling this thing. Why?? Who the hell think this look better than pixel art??? Half of the faces looks like blurry mud!

Always look on youtube, or other forums, lots of posts might be deleted but there is always a trace left, wayback machine showed some things thought were gone, but apparently 'leftovers' seem to remain....
thats why they are so eager to 100% control all things online : example : real newspapers ( the ones that also have paper versions) post some news and quickly delete it after they were corrected by govt or other people off influence :D

X-files had a guy that said : trust no one

Thats why its always good to search for more reviews and or posts about anything: news, games, gamereviews, etc ... this way you can decide what is or might be the most correct information, if we only had 1 newspaper and 1 channel :D ......

Anyway always try to verify and check anything that is checkable ( dont know if checkable is proper english so maybe you should check it: just in case :D)

Applying a filter on pixels is not my definition of HD remake. This is not even looking good (especially the faces).
