The new engine looks immensely more polished and better than the old one.

Textures, shadows, reflections.... everything. All-around much better looking, for sure :D

I prefer the sharp look of the old engine.

dragunrising5489d ago

I concur. I prefer the old look. All of the new graphical additions made Butchers Bay look sort of faded and not as sharp. Certain aspects such as the lighting and anti-aliasing are better in the upgrade. Textures arguably look worse with the post processing effects. I still love it regardless.

Also, as an the owner of a console version, I'm disappointed by the jaggies. PC gamers and their graphixz! :-p

SonyRulz5489d ago

The old XBOX was a BEAST, with near next-gen graphical power, that made the PS2 look laughable. It's a shame Starbreeze didn't do a ground-up remake, rather than a touch-up. There's a ton of graphical glitches in the remake of COR:EFBB, all attributed to how they handled the touch-up. Floating guns, ammo clips, etc. Sometimes the character models show polygon movement on their skin, making it look like squares/triangles of skin are about to flake off...very disappointing. They really should have just put the original on Live Marketplace, and spent more time on Dark Athena.

Tenchu: SA on PSOne comes to mind.
MGS is great but Tenchu is ops it in my book.

Odoylerules0002969d ago

Tenchu! NICE! Wow, I haven't seen anyone mention Tenchu in such a long time. Really, they're my favorite stealth games from back in the day. Ayame or Rikimaru?

miyamoto2969d ago (Edited 2969d ago )

That's a toughie

but seriously

It's either between Proto-Rikimaru

or Manji Cult

Nothing beats the original that won Shuhei Yoshida's heart.

Odoylerules0002969d ago

@miyamoto Okay, my mind is officially blown. First, at how gutter the first Tenchu test footage is(that jump sound effect..), and second...Wow! I had no idea that was motion capture. I immediately knew what I was looking at when he started moving, though. Incredible. Thanks a lot for showing me those, I had no idea those videos existed.

Fist4achin2969d ago

What about the one that was so stealthy, no one played it at all because nobody knew it was there?!

I'm actually having some fun with Shadows of Mordor and sneaking around the orcs and uruks
