StingingVelvet: The censorship was bad, absolutely, but let's not pretend that's a "graphical downgrade." The remaster is definitely a nice visual upgrade, it's night and day.
It might look a bit better in some ways, but 3-4 price increase worthy? I personally don't think so....especially with the new VA and more so if there's more cut content.
StingingVelvet: They did add widescreen in season two, but it had a max resolution of 1080 which is quite poor nowadays. The original was also capped at 50fps, which is awful.
Those things being poor or awful is subjective.
(Heck, i've played stuff in higher FPS/resolutions and still find both to be decent enough.....I even play in lower resolutions sometimes!)
StingingVelvet: With no cut lines this time,
Supposedly/that we know of....if it were me, i'd wait for people to check first to verify before buying.

WinterSnowfall: Fans of the series have long learned to appreciate rough edges and decade old-bugs as part of the experience,
I like some remakes/remasters on occasion....that said, I find your post mostly well said :)
WinterSnowfall: Aside from addressing compatibility with modern OSes and perhaps higher resolution/widescreen patches where needed I'd change nothing. I'd throw in some optional ESRGAN-enhanced texture packs for high-res fans as a bonus. All with no extra cost or a measly sum at best ($5).
Winter for remake/remaster team lead!
