More of a remaster than a remake. And the original is definitely showing its age, graphics-wise. I don’t understand this viewpoint, it’s not like the original is gone and you’re forced to buy this one and it’s not taking away valuable developer time from something else. An updated version for anyone who wants it is just nice, good way for people who didn’t play it before to experience it with a nice updated coat of paint.

It did look rather ugly in places.

Some people don’t care at all and that’s fine, but for others poor textures or aesthetics break immersion.
