before i jump in.... what exactly has been remastered. I see addition of n64 levels. you say 4k and widescreen support, anti aliasing..... among other effects however, were the textures actually redone or has there just been a filter applied? has the lighting engine changed at all? this doesn't look all that "Remastered" even in the video the "multiplayer" section is at a terrible low frame rate witch leads me to be cautious of purchasing... so again I ask what has actually been remastered vs just enhanced? 17.99 is a steep price for what I can see let alone 19.99...
I guess my concern is this reminds me allot of forsakenx (open source port of forsaken)

Yes, it actually has been remastered:

The Textures haven't been redone, but the overall optics (POV, Lighting, Colours and Particle Effects) are MUCH! better than in the original game.

I think they adopted the Open Source Variant "ForsakenX" in the early stages of the remastering process, but
they also used their internal "KEX"-Engine to optimise the framerate, hence the game plays significantly smoother now than it's derivate.

I compared ForsakenX with the Remaster and can tell you that it is technically better and plays absolutely smooth .

The Problem here was our false memory of how the original game looked like.
So people tended to say that it wasn't really remastered (i thought that, too).
We had in mind, that the remaster just looked like the original game,
but i can tell you: The original game looks (and plays) much worse...

they also worked on the internal "KEGS"-Engine, hence the game plays significantly smoother now than it's derivate.

I compared ForsakenX with the Remaster and can tell you that you should buy the Remaster.
After all, it really IS a lot better than ForsakenX, trust me.

I'm sorry that i posted false information about the textures. Checked again and saw that they haven't been remastered.
The viewpoint in the the game is different and all the effects and differnet lighting mislead my opinion. Sorry!
I corrected my first post, but the rest is correct. ;)

its all good, im just concerned as to the ability for any publisher to do as little as possible still call something a remaster.

I think the advances here are not on the textures, but much more on the technical aspects of the game.
If you play Forsaken X vs. the Remaster you'll quickly see that the Remaster is much more optimised, engine-wise.

Don't wan't to defend NightDive here, but I think they saw that they couldn't do a re-texturing within a certain amount of time. Maybe it would have implied a lot more work on the engine? Only they know...

I also would have like to see a full remaster as they did with the Turok-Games, but on the other side,
the engine and effects are polished and you can play smoothly, even on 144Hz-screens and that's enough for me, at last.

I think you are confusing the term "Remaster" with "Remake".
