Sins of the Fathers has been my favourite adventure game since always, God knows how many times I've played it. I've been a GK collector all my life and I own so many different copies and editions of the games, comics and the novels that I believe that it's without any doubt, the game I've played most. Even the remake has some nice things, I have to admit that I'm disappointed by it. GK1 has been a classic since it came out and even some people might be turned off by its pixel-ish graphics, it really didn't need a makeover. Except for the soundtrack, most of the things of this remake were unnecessary. The graphics are now less dark and (in my oppinion) less attractive, the new game system is dumbed down considerably and even it looks nice, the art in cut-scenes and dialogue screens look worse. The original GK1 could be played with SVGA graphics, showing nice portraits with lip-synch. The remake ones are disappointing, specially in Gabriel who looks like he did in GK2 and 3, but not like he did in 1. Another thing that feels like a downgrade are the new voices, Tim Curry was a great Gabriel and the new one is just not the same. As much as I understand people wanted a better quality audio, I don't know why they didn't give the option to put back the old voices like other games that suffered a remake had. For example, Silent Hill 2 got an HD version with new voices but there was an option to bring back the old ones in case people preferred the old actors. Maybe they could offer the old voices as a DLC? I'd definitely get it. As a whole and as a fan, I'm very disappointed with the remake since it was not necessary. I'm not regretting the purchase since I love the soundtrack and I really wanted to own this new version of it, but I don't think I'll be able to even finish this game. It's painful seeing all the downgrades it suffered compared to the original one. However, if you're new into the game or you don't like old Sierra Games, I'd definitily give it a chance.
