Pick none. Sure, it might have a retro feel if you are born after 2005 and never experienced 90s FPS during their release, but its nothing to sink your teeth into now. Bland texture mappings, fog everywhere to hide the draw distance, trying to implement pixel-perfect platforming where you can't see your feet or your character, they spent so much time on the monster animations & level size crunch that Darren Mitchell was only able to provide ambient bongo drums as soundtrack, no multiplayer, no story (instead the story was exported to Acclaims Comic series, how very 90s). Now combine this with being a German, we never even got to hunt Dinosaurs nor Tribesmen, but fricking Robutts, for fear of having the game banned!

(Turok 2 was nice though, at least the international version (Germans again got blue mist instead of blood, and had several weapon effects removed))

I know they loved turning humans into robots, but dinosaurs is a new low for me.
And some idiots wants them back as DLC or something.

DOOM, DOOM 2 and Quake sit at the apex of old FPS.

So the GTA trilogy remasters been announced and while it's better than everyone expected (really thought it was going to be the mobile ports but in Unreal), in its current state it looks shit, especially San Andreas. III is probably the strongest because the dark atmosphere of the original is kept intact and so far the characters stay true to each other in terms of the models so they don't look like Sims 4 characters like the other two.

They really have a habit of bumping up the saturation in these remakes it seems.

Claude looks nice, Tommy is fat, and CJ is CJ but darker.

I was hoping CJ would look like St. Floyd. I guess that's what mods are for.

I think that's just bloom, and those other fancy lighting tricks that supposedly make the game look "better" and/or more "realistic".

San Andreas remake looks like shit imo. Vice City also seems wack.

All the best GTA mods are educational, brutha.
