Alright everyone, I'm here to save you all. You may be wondering, why are some people saying this game is great and underrated, and others say it's the worst game ever ? I'm gonna make it clear : - the base version looks awful - it controls like hell Now, the good news, is that you can fix it all. - The controls, install JoytoKey and remap the keyboard to your controller, it will now play like the old school classics from the playstation era, it's very comfortable and makes perfect sense that way. You can even "walk" or "run" like in the Resident Evil games. - For the graphics, you want to use DGVoodoo, this will rewrap the visuals into directX. This lets you get a high resolution, better filtering etc... And once it is rewrapped, you can use reshade. - What I did for my reshade on Simon 3D, is use a HD CRT filter (using CRT royal as the base + shadow grid, interlacing turned off), and adjusted levels / vibrance of colors until I was satisfied. You can also add some light film grain and/or CA to blend the image as intended by artists of the time. So once all this is done, what's left ? It's good, it's not perfect, but the spirit of the series is there, and many aspects are actually solid. If you are a fan, and like me, you had skipped this because of how bad you heard it looked or played, please give it a shot with those fixes. It's transformative.
