Full Throttle Remastered

As Good As I Remember It

I still have my original box and disc set for this game. I still have my Bone to Pick CD too, which I spent a lot of time trying to find after I played the game back in '96. This remastered version is just how I remember the game, minus the tiny mouse on my old 1600x1200 monitor. It's got the somewhat frustrating adventure game puzzles that you'll probably need a walkthrough to figure out, but once you know everything, it's easy to revist, being only about 2 hours long start to end, and packed with some of the best voice acting ever in a video game. Probably too dated for a non-nostalgia buy, but a classic as far as I am concerned.

Saints Row®: The Third™ Remastered

Some good but also some bad.

My system specs are: 13700K, 2070 Super, running from a Gen. 3 M.2 SSD on Windows 10 at 1440p Ultra settings. It seems like many of the good things that were done with this remaster induce some additional downsides, so rather than doing a point-by-point review, I think a, "Fixes this-but breaks this" review is needed. The graphic overhaul (upgraded and up-res'd character, car, and item models) really does make the game look and feel more modern when compared to the Full Package version. However, the overhaul actually makes a lot of the character customizations (hair and clothes) feel plastic and oversized/under-detailed. Also, as others have mentioned, there are new texture maps for clothes which prevent many items from showing black, white, or lighter/darker color variants properly. Also, i have noticed a few items that were "shiny" in the original, but now have matte finishes that make them look dirty. The frame rate and performance in game feel very smooth (see system specs above). However, cut scenes suffer from low frames, poor syncing, and excessive blurriness.
