Quoting: tpau

Quoting: PaldinoXAs is typical with these kinds of remasters, I think the ultra HD textures and modern lighting on top of the low-poly environments make the game look significantly WORSE than the original.

Yea i think if a game is too old, it needs to be done again from the ground up with a lot more polygons and fresh animations.
Otherwise it feels odd.

I get what you are saying, but I disagree.
I think you can in almost all cases absolutely remaster an old game, put modern features and visuals into it and still keep the spirit and the look of the original. Take a look at the Quake1 remaster: QOL features, high resolutions, widescreen, 120fps, dynamic lighting, ambient occlusion, depth of field, colored lighting, updated effects and enemies and weapons with more polygons – yet it still looks and plays exactly as you remember Q1 did back in the day.
It is possible to do that and do the original justice. It's just that it takes quite a bit more work than updating the engine and upscaling/repainting textures.

We're truly in the era of safe bets with sequels and remakes

Yeah, we do...
As much as I've loved playing CoH, I've also got to say that I have grown quite tired of remakes. Not only do long for some new experiences every once in a while, but I also think that many of them are just nostalgia bait. And sadly not all remakes are technically good IMO – for every C&C or AoE2 there seem to be a dozen that are just a bit worse than the original with a community patch.

Oh, that's interesting! 😀

I've got to say that the textures at 0:10 give me uncanny valley vibes though...

That is disappointing.

IIRC most of the people responsible for Witcher 3 don't work at CDPR anymore, so I'll wait for some playtests before I get my hopes up. 😅

I only ever played the first one – are the other two similar?

That looks fun. Maybe I'll be better at this than I was at Ghost'n'Goblins. 😄
