Here's some comparison shots that's actually better:

Highlights:

• Faithfully Restored Visuals: Experience the original trilogy with upgraded character models, enhanced environments, and high-resolution textures.
• Photo Mode: Capture and share your missions with a dedicated photo mode. Frame Agent 47 in action or explore environments in detail.
• Instant Graphics Toggle: Switch seamlessly between the original and enhanced visuals. Play the games as you remember them or rediscover them in a modern light.
• The World Is Your Weapon: Use stealth, tactics, disguises, and the environment itself to infiltrate, execute, and escape. Every mission offers multiple paths, and every decision carries risks.
• Master the Art of the Kill: Plan your approach, adapt when things go wrong, and complete your objectives with precision. Success depends as much on observation and timing as it does on execution.
• Three Games. One Evolution: Experience the progression of HITMAN’s design, from open-ended experimentation, to refined stealth systems, to a darker, more psychological tone.
• Play Your Way: Disguise yourself, improvise solutions, and turn mistakes into opportunities. No two approaches are the same, and few plans survive unchanged.

Great to see some classics like this return - there's a lot of games from that era that could do with a remaster.
