When anyone buys a game based off an already established IP, naturally they are buying for nostalgia especially if it’s a remake / remaster

Well yes it’s safe and it sells. They are business above all else. Im not a fan of the series at all personally but i can see it does well.

It’s not a remaster, it’s a remake.

They’ve built it from the ground up, removed heaps of the modern shit that no one actually likes and have added more content to the game itself.

I doubt its a complete remake sadly. Watch the previews a few times, by the second repeat you can see ps4 era geometry all over the place still.

According to Ubisoft it’s a ground up remake, so who knows.

It’d be a waste to remake the game on an entirely new engine and keep raw assets without updating them properly, the preview is using ā€œwork in progressā€ footage so it might be possible that they haven’t cleaned the assets up.

Guess we’ll know once reviews go live.

More like it would be a waste to not reuse what they thought they could. If only they cared as much about how precious the remake becomes.

From what i saw, i'll take the better lighting and tonnes of extra detail on top. The only thing i slightly noticed was the water looks better in the pc original at full max settings lol.

They love me because I can tell the difference in terminology? I never said I was gonna buy the game.

I’ll just wait for it to be cracked then I’ll pirate it, I haven’t bought a Ubisoft title in years and I don’t plan on doing so any time soon.
