"Our last game didn't sell like expected so now you're all going to have to remake our most popular game because I need a guaranteed hit or this job isn't worth it to me"
Its built in an entirely different engine, so its supposed to look better. Its definitely different, but better is gonna be subjective. IMO it looks good but they changed the feel of the game, and not for the better
I think the thing that bothers me is the color shift. Like yes, everything looks more vibrant, but for a game set in a snowstorm in the middle of the night, it sure looks bright and sunny in what i've seen.
