I had to reinstall the game to make sure I didn't miss anything. Just compare Kvirasim the original with the remake. I don't know how you can be serious about this being any form of improvement. The town got reduced to the interactive buildings, got populated with zombies and malformed trees and the swamp? apparently releases alot of fluorescent gasses. Probably they have some kind of hallucinogenic effect on the local populace, so they won't kill theselves. Traders apparently have to stand in front of their stallsand generally sitting seems to be not a pastime invented yet.
I know these would be idiotic nitpicks if this was a game from 2000, but here is the point, it is not. And instead of going full retard 3D, a high res 2D overhaul of the original could have produced a more pleasing result. Oh, but wait, that takes actual artistic competence and some kind of vision.
No gotta do 3D because... probably easier to model 3D shapes with the current tools than actually draw 2D stuff. Fuck them.
ST has new animated models that look good, look at the second trailer in steam.
As to your other points, BoD HD fixed the major bugs of the orginal, added a ton of new content, and changed things that kept millions from trying BoD, like the xp penalty for saving. If you think it looks bad, great. I think most AAA games look silly and like shit. My favorite graphics are the simple but sharp kind, like in ToEE, Wiz8, and I think the eschalon games had really sharp graphics. TToN had nice graphics.
I rate games on content, systems, and functionality. As long as it has a decent UI and not-ASCII graphics I don't give a shit.
But, checkout the trailers of ST, it improved on all the superficial shit everyone was whining about.
I assume you actually mean simple, less adorned, somehwat realistic models and gfx. I get it. What I do not however, is your whiteknighting of this particular unity abomination. Either you have no developed taste and eat what you get served if it's ye old skool rpg labelled, or you are a trolling shitposter.
Why does this game need a full uncanny valley 3D remake? Why not try to recreate it faithfully - in the spirit of the blobbers of that age. And that's the point - it's a remake, i'd be way more lenient if it was a new game. The team is just not capable of doing it properly, that's all.
I assume you dislike actual rpgs and should stick to your hipster games with their fancy graphics like Witcher 3, minecraft, Metal Gear, and Undertail.
My whiteknighting has to do with supporting a great game and developers who have worked their asses off recreating the best rpg trilogy and need the support from real rpg fans. Again, fake rpgs wouldn't like the originals nor the remakes. It has been said a million times, you guys dislike the graphics because form is more important than function. There is more hipster shit being made for you guys than you can play. But for real rpg fans, who play rpgs primarily and because they actually love the real genre, we don't have a backlog of games we can play. We have few games made for us and we play the shit out of them over and over for 30 years. When an actual rpg with some depth and complexity is made, especially a remake of the best rpg trilogy ever made, that significantly improved the first entry with additional content and bug fixes, and will hopefully make a lot of additional content for the new entry, we buy it and and want other people with good taste and a love of the genre to do the same.
Again, this isn't for you guys. You think the graphics suck. Its been said a million times. Go play Pyre and Dishonored and Dark Souls and leave us alone. Hell, there is a new stick figure black and white child's game that was just released that is right up you guys' ally. Go espouse how charming the graphcis of that is and how the gameplay is rock solid and emergent and stay the fuck out of this thread.
