The graphics do look worse but it also appears some updates to the art direction make many darker areas look better though.Says there's nothing to mod back in, instantly gives example of something to mod back in.
However I understand that it's basically impossible to do in this case. Oh well a shame there will never be a definitive version of this game.
Except people do and it's pretty unacceptable how they have handled this especially removing the older version for no reason especially when it's a downgrade in some areas.People really have no idea about what went on with this game considering the amount of "patch/mods" begs. Shit is a completely different game built from the ground with a different engine despite your eyes seeing them as "the same".
As far as the old version being pulled, that's to prevent people from buying it by mistake. That version is rendered useless, you absolutely do not want to play considering how superior the S version is. The extremely negligible graphical downgrade is completely irrelevant and only becomes an arguing point in online forums full of people with nothing good to do.
PSA: follow this curator
Steam Curator: Games at risk of removal
List of games on Steam with a risk of (eventual) removal from the store. Use the specials list to quickly see current discounts on them.store.steampowered.com
Companies love to delist things for weird reasons
So do people that own the old version automatically get "upgraded" to S?
That's dumb. They should keep the original up. Hopefully they don't remove the original from PSN either.
Why does that curator have the XIII remake and shenmue 3 as potential to get delisted???
what about the OG PC release and the S PC release? The demo didn't seem that much worse graphically, if at all
Outside of the graphics how it is superior?Wow that's really fucking lame. Removing the superior version of the game is some real dark shit. At least this guarantees they'll never patch the mods out of the original PC version again. Orchestrated soundtrack forever.
not too much worse, they're just lower quality than the original assets used in the ps4/pc versions. the assets had to be down-scaled for the switch port, and they're using those downscaled assets in the new version on ps4/xb/pc.
really hard since they decided to make S specifically built for the SwitchReally stupid move.
Either patch in the better quality assets or leave it be. How hard is that?
I was more so thinking about the leaving it on the stores when I said that.really hard since they decided to make S specifically built for the Switch
they probably don't want people choosing to buy the old version for the better graphicsI was more so thinking about the leaving it on the stores when I said that.
They don't lose anything by keeping it on there.
They didn't remove any content, that's what I was referring to. I agree that the graphics aren't as good but if you only want to play the game because of good graphics then I don't know what to say really since the S version is better in every other way.Says there's nothing to mod back in, instantly gives example of something to mod back in.

Are they not the same price though?they probably don't want people choosing to buy the old version for the better graphics
Nonsense! Square would never do something like that!Well, at least they had a replacement for it this time, instead of just removing it from sale... and then never doing anything.

Is EUR 27 good?
The original was way cheaper than the S version.Are they not the same price though?
SE are not making sense doing this.
your post suggests you have no words and yet you posted 1000 🤔
yeah, that stuff doesn't make any sense tbh. i get that they didn't want to import the old models in the new versions (well, i don't really get it but it is what it is) but i don't see why they can't up the details and foliage when running on more powerful platforms.It's not only that. Foliage took a huge hit along with render range.
I see. I guess I can "buy" that reason.
