Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.

Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?

I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.

What else has changed outside of the graphics? It looks like a very basic remaster to me.

It seems to be a bit more involved than a typical remaster since they seem to have replaced all the rendering side of the creation engine with UE5’s rendering and remade all assets.

Well that's slightly better than I thought, at least.

I watched someone playing it earlier and I've liked what I've seen. alot of neat little details and i feel like they did a good job with animating facial expressions.
