So, any hype for the game?

I was planning to get it day 1, but may have to delay it couple of days (for some personal reasons). What about all of you? How many of you are getting it day 1?

Well the work in some areas was a bit lighter, but the work in many other areas was notably heavier. The newer graphics and sound would have taken much more man hours than the originals, even given the advance in tech tools over the time. Games used to be made alot faster with much smaller teams back then.

And all the polish and finishing work necessary to make sure the remake captures the same feel as the original despite being completely different fundamentally can't be understated. When a game is made for the first time, it doesn't have to be exactly one specific way. You have a reference to work from both originally and with a remake, but accuracy to the reference is much less demanding for an original game.

But if we're talking about price, we're comparing it with other, similar games made using today's tools and engines.

And there's simply no way it takes the same time to build that from scratch, than to build it using an existing game as a reference.
