#2We're about 30 years too late to complain about the art style.
I don't disagree with the comparison of the visuals to flash games, but that's more or less all you can get to without a lot of backlash over completely changing the game's appearance, since the originals were very low-resolution highly cartoony things.
You could certainly have redone 1 and 2 in 3's engine, but that's a different market, in a lot of ways.

#3Is there a comparison image? I’d like to see screenshots of the original and the corresponding screenshots of the remastered version.
Update: the trailer shows the old and the new version at ~26s, direct link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_iWMpW_C7Z0&t=26

The trailer they embed for the release announcement shows them swapping, since like the Diablo remaster, I believe you can realtime toggle the changes on and off.

I think the comparison would ruin the author’s argument.

#6Eh I mean it’s not that bad - this article is super short on details too, I need a unit-by-unit comparison describing an overall approach to the art style that changed between the original release and this one. This post is a glorified xitter rant basically. If I want three whiney paragraphs on a subject I’ll ask ChatGPT about it.

Skip to around 0:36 in the launch trailer, they swap from the classic to the new graphics on the same scene.

Thanks, I wasn’t able to view the trailer on safari mobile in private mode (asks to sign it but I don’t have an account). But it worked fine on youtube - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_iWMpW_C7Z0 if anyone else needs a link.

I mean yeah, but that’s a trailer, it’s just marketing. I want the author to actually put some time into exploring and explaining to the audience, if they think they’ve got a point to make. This could just have been a headline and a link to the trailer.
