What did NightDive DO? How did they make a game from 1997 look WORSE in 2022. I was initially excited, but then I found out that you can no longer change McCoys personality on the fly, once you pick one you're stuck with it. It only got worse however, because when you first arrive at the Runciters crime scene you CAN'T move unless you click on a clue, very much unlike the original that lets you walk around. It wasn't until I got inside the building that the game granted me the right to walk around. The backgrounds are MUCH worse, not to mention how the character models, the things that were made to look like they were really a part of the world in the original game, now look like they are floating against a flat picture. It is most notable during China Town and robs this game of what made it the bestselling adventure game of 97. Something else that is BAFFLING, is the bug that causes INVISIBLE CLUES. yes, invisible clues. To further explain, when at Runciters the wrapper for the chopsticks and the dog were invisible, but they mouse still glowed green when over there spot. A game like THIS why would any of them be invisible? Then theres the odd visually downgraded transitions between locations either in your vehicle or from one side of Runciters to the other. rather than having the impressive fly by of the original it now awkwardly fades into the next shot. What a disappointment. Do not get this, and stick with the GoG version, until they somehow fix this.
