crispy4000 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Always been curious about this one. It seems like they improved the visuals a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 If that's an improvement, how bad was the original? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I remember I rented it for my Gamecube but never finished it before needing to return it to Blockbuster. Always kind of bugged me that I never got to finish it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still falls under being a remaster doesn't it when you get upgraded resolutions, framerates, and quality of life improvements? A barebones one, sure, but still a remaster. I didn't realize though that this had been locked to PS2/GC until now, I assumed there must have been an old PC port but doesn't seem like it.

stepee Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I never played the original but there’s definitely work beyond ps2 going on in that trailer. I imagine it will be similar to the Tomb Raider collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terms HD port, remaster, and remake are getting more and more muddled (especially when developers just decide to name their product whatever the fuck they want), but I believe the technical rule is this: HD port - upping the resolution and textures, may also increase performance Remaster - replacing the existing assets with newer, better, higher quality ones, while still keeping the engine, skeletons, and other underlying systems the same (think something like Metroid Prime Remastered, or The Last of Us Remastered, which are the same games as the originals, but using much better looking lighting, textures, etc.) Remake - a complete rebuilding of the game from the ground up. May or may not also reimagine the game like with the recent Resident Evil Remakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is a good distinction to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShreddieMercury Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 The re-release of Star Wars Episode 1 Racer should have been a slam dunk because the game still holds up marvelously. But Aspyr made the game 60fps without considering how that affects the game's physics, and it's completely broken. The AI falls behind because your ship is roughly double the speed of all others, and the drift mechanic is broken. It's frankly insane to release it that way, but that's Aspyr. What a crazy monkey's paw situation where all of these amazing Star Wars games are being ported, but by the shittiest possible developer to handle them. At least the Nightdive version of Dark Forces rocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a Rogue Leader trilogy collection soon mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 seems to be getting decent reviews. I remember having it on the ps2 but remember nothing about the actual game...which makes me wonder if I ever even played it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
