People naturally get blinded by excitement, but anyone who thought this was going to be more than a minor graphical polish were just daft. If this remaster had been picked up by a name developer, we could have expected a chance at new/restored content, but given TR is long gone, that was going to be a pipe dream. Picking up the leftovers from the dust of TR's shuttering wasn't going to yield anything, hence why they had to port the PC version--little or no access to the assets and programmers. Had Terminal Reality still been around, you guys could have done an actual remaster.
As I said already, this was great for me, as the "remaster" looks far better than the PS3 version, but it's only on par with the others. Not getting multiplayer doesn't bug me (hasn't been officially declared DOA, but let's be real--this thing won't sell enough to justify more development costs), since the PS3 servers were long ago shut down. So for me, I get the game I already loved on a console with picture quality that doesn't make my eyes bleed. It's still a win in my book.
I just wish that GB2 uniform patch would get fixed. Ugh.
