We're in 2017, standard have been raised regarding quality or even comparable remaster of old games. Criticisms are warranted.

Again: the bar doesn't magically lower when you use a different name.
But a remaster implies a lot more work than a port, so yes the wording does kinda lower the bar for a 2004 game port done on a small budgetAgain: the bar doesn't magically lower when you use a different name.

If so, why did your team actively work against the devs (Darkside game studios) and have the game cancelled?

I would take another Forza Horizon 3 expansion/literally a new car next month over this.
Darkside's game was probably bad so they cancelled it.
Not hard to imagine.
Will buy it since I've always wanted to play this game, but it looks like shit, they really make zero effort. MS really stopped to care about their games library.
Yeah, and keep the price around 10 bucks. That's a bit more fair.
Polygon pretty much called it that in the title of the video.

I assume people expected more effort would be put into this.

Haha holy shit that's awesome. This definitely seems like a small internal project with no resources wasted.Actually Phil didn't even know this was being worked on for quite some time. Someone internal to MS did this as more of a passion project and just kinda showed it to Phil one day saying "Yeah it's almost done too!".

I understand it's just basically a straight up-rezzed port, but I wish they added some main character animation, he looks incredibly stiff. I've never played it and will buy this day 1 though, still looks fun.
I can certainly empathize with how anyone who doesn't have any prior affiliation with PD would look at that footage and think it looks straight up horrible.
Plenty of reasons why games are cancelled, we just heard the developer side of the story, but likely there were good reasons to cancel it too.If so, why did your team actively work against the devs (Darkside game studios) and have the game cancelled?

Well, practically 99% of the remasters are just that. Ms had a better track record of actually reworking the assets though, it's a shame they couldn't do it for this game, but I guess it's due the game being kept Uber wraps until close to announcement, and likely they didn't have that much more success over games that didn't have the same treatment so less reason to do a complete makeover.Did people even watch the video? The guy straight up said it's a re-release with better assets. He didn't call it a remaster.
wow that looks terrible to be honest, I understand the non marketing
Adam also said this. But i dunno it doesn't seem like it's anything other than a port graphically.
I certainly see no "wizardry".
So hyped to finally play this again!!!
Any details on what they're doing for the dlc stuff? I'm not expecting new content but people seem to be mentioning micro transactions.
Only thing confirmed is a DLC starter pack that allows you to make an arsenal immediately rather than post chapter 3.
List of skill contained in said starter pack can be found here.
This isn't a remaster.
This is a port that benefits from running on more powerful hardware.
There is a difference.
This isn't a remaster. It's an up-rezed re-release, like the Dead Rising 1-2 and Resident Evil 4-6 re-releases.
Criticism is fine, but the current state of the assets is likely effected by the budget and the total potential market for a niche game.
The fact that this game exists at all, in any form, should be celebrated. Picking over little details that should be brought to some arbitrary "modern standard" likely doesn't reflect reality.

It being a port doesn't prevent the fact that people have updated expectation on what a rerelease should be.
It would be the case if MS didn't cancelled the planned remaster. It being rereleased is fine but the perspective has been shifted because of their actions.
The shitposting in this thread is embarrassing. This is a game from 2004, what did you expect?
It is what I expected but also what I feared.
I had hope they would do some rework, just like Crash Bandicoot. It's a shame it's not the case.
I won't be buying it. Never played the original and I'm sure it should have been pretty awesome back then, but nowadays it looks rough both graphically and mechanically.
Wizardry...
