I mean, you hardly need me to actually /say/ what I think of this (but
I will anyway). I'm not a fan of remasters, and think all that energy
is better spent towards making new games. ;-)

But looking at the trailer, I have to say I'm rather disappointed. At
best, it's hard for me to notice any improvements. But there are
several areas (like the monster at the 39s mark) where the game looks
significantly worse; it has that plastic-like sheen that a lot of
shitty remasters apply to early 2000s-era games. It feels like the
developers did a quick-n-messy AI upscale and called it a day.

Honestly, the fan-made remasters already available look much, much
better. As much as I want to support a developer from Ukraine, this
looks like just a lazy cash-in.

I'll play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OG, tbh. It's simply not about the cosmetics.

What a waste of time for whoever did it.
