While some might think that graphic and animation quality doesn't matter, those are actually huge selling point when you try to attract new players. Biggest issue I have with the remake is that all Phoenix Online Studios' games look cheap and while new GK looks better than their previous games, it still looks worse than other modern adventure games. While I dislike that they made the story more linear, I can live with that. (And this applies practically to all remakes of the classic adventure games.) No matter what kind of remake they would make it couldn't be possibly be better than the game we played 20 years ago. I still think the original is the superior game. I hope the remake did introduce GK to a new audience who will go on to get the sequels, because they are great stories that deserve to be heard and enjoyed.īaggins: For a more detailed comparison between the various versions of the Sins of the Fathers storyline, you can find many listed here.Īs for the remake, I don't really care what they coulda, shoulda, didn't do. I guess I just feel disappointed, but I still hold on to hope of a new game eventually. Again this is understandable, but then why not just cut (for example) the 'Get down!' line Grace says as if Gabriel is up the ladder if they couldn't afford to animate him going up there? And why couldn't they afford this, but they could afford to add a pointless different puzzle to getting into Mosely's office along with a zombie-style police officer scene? I'm not pretending to know what a ladder climbing animation costs vs the addictional cut scenes, but this just seems sloppily executed in my opinion.ĭon't get me wrong - I fully supported this and paid full price for it in the hopes it would go towards getting GK4.

The animations you are talking of weren't in there because of the budget. This left them with no other choice but re-record it. Santiago: They couldn't reuse the voices from the original because the quality was too low and the original recordings were thrown out like trash, no one archived this stuff.
