@FaeKnight The new textures would be superior not on a case of being "Better", but exactly as you said - being higher resolution assets, crisper, cleaner, so on so forth.
Whether or not you think they are better does not mean it's remastered. The original assets are still being used. Sure they may fit the artistic style of the game better, but just because they fit better doesn't mean they are remastered.

@jhewitt3476 The originals were never shot with a digital camera, so they didn't really have a fixed resolution. 35mm is what they used for Star Wars, don't know about the Wizard of Oz. You can get a decent HD image out of 35mm (though it's rather complicated calculating what the equivalent in pixel count is of 35mm film). Either way, the home releases of Star Wars were downgraded quite a lot compared to its original source material, so releasing an ''upgraded'' version (compared to the original home release) isn't impossible at all.
@Octane
I watched all three in the theaters, other than Lucas cleaning some things up, there was no real improvement, yah, the betamax dumbed episode 4 down a lot, but the VHS releases were almost right on, not quite, but pretty good, but still will never compare to the full digital (since 2008), and 65mm & 70mm (since 2000)

UK bans a lot of stuff, I'm considering making an online site that sells banned games to countries those games are banned from

@jhewitt3476 Well, trust me, the VHS quality wasn't anywhere near the original 35mm film it was shot on. That being said, I have no doubt that a lot of quality was lost from the projectors they used back in the day, plus it's kinda difficult to compare what you've seen in the theaters to the VHS you saw on your TV at home; definitely impossible to compare the 1-to-1. Without bringing your TV to the theaters, and even then I doubt it would be a good comparison
Hopefully there's an optional patch to enhance the audio quality in Dark Souls for the people who will be getting it. Seems like the biggest offender in terms of presentation at the moment.

I tried buying Gunvolt Azure 1&2 pack for Switch because a friend said it was just like Mega Man......
yah, people say Binding of Isaac is just like the classic Zelda games too,
so I won't be buying those again, it may be a side scrolling, android shoot'em up, hell, he's even blue if I remember, but it is nothing like them at all, guess I'm going out and getting MM 11 come payday
Never played the Azure Striker Gunvolt games, but from what I've heard they're more similar to the X & Zero branches of MM rather than the classic line (then again, I've never played any X or Zero games either, so I can't say for sure).
It's the Mighty Gunvolt line that's supposed to be more similar to classic MM, and from what I can tell it does seem to emulate it. You do have a sort of tutorial level that you have to play through first, but then a number of levels open up you can play in any order, but are best played in a certain order because you can get elemental abilities based on a certain level's boss that's super effective against another level's boss, so on so forth. There are actually a number of different upgrades you can get by playing through levels multiple times (such as decreased damage and double, triple, jumping abilities to make things easier, or you can even give yourself nerfs to make things even harder).
Mighty Gunvolt Burst does have a demo (that contains the tutorial level & two others) so it wouldn't hurt to try it.

Whether or not you think they are better does not mean it's remastered. The original assets are still being used. Sure they may fit the artistic style of the game better, but just because they fit better doesn't mean they are remastered.
And you are blindly assuming that the Switch release doesn't also have redone texture assets for a higher resolution. They apparently are in fact just that no matter what you want to claim. It's possible that the new lighting effects and such required too much processor power, thus why they weren't used. This is definitely the case with things like animated grass.
I participated in the network test a bit. And the Switch version might look visually like the 360 version, but it is definitely crisper. And I thought things looked less stretched out on my tv then on the 360. You can tell the difference when you compare them.
@Cobalt I think most people are just sick of the complaining day in day out. If you dislike Switch so much why not sell it and move on then daily rants about every aspect of it on a Nintendo fan site??
As for Kingdom Hearts, the original game didn’t age gracefully at all. The worlds are to cramped to support the gameplay and it results in a bad camera. Despite the great love for Disney the developers poured into this title, I wouldn’t reccomend anyone to play the original.
KH II and Birth by Sleep are far better games to play. Games support the playstyle way better with levels being bigger and a more stable camera.
While camera controls and unclear objectives can be an issue in Kingdom Hearts 1, I do still find it to be an enjoyable game.
Oh I can understand why people still enjoy the original. It has its charms, but from a personal point of view I just can’t say I like it. I really had to force myself to complete the game.
But I kind of had that problem with several PS2 remasters. Only a few aged well. The DMC Collection (Excluding 2) was pretty neat, especially DMC 3 SE.
When the hell I said that I dislike the Switch ? When ?
I just said THE TRUTH ! And now, even with Digital Foundry that explain the exact same points as mine with proofs and facts on the screen, there are still boys like you to lie about me... INSANE !
In some years when you'll be adult, you'll understand better that truth is always better than lies...
@Cobalt
what is this "truth" and how was this "truth" phrased originally, I'm no judge, so I'm not going to go off on you if it seems bad, but in my line of work, I have to interpret things then relate them to others in a manner that won't be misconstrued
"If failure is the greatest teacher, how come we are not the most superior beings in the universe ???"
@Cobalt you like it so much you play it ten days a year and spend the rest complaining about it?? That's not the truth that's attention seeking. Fortunately people like you come and go.
Your free to your opinion if its right or wrong doesn't bother me its just this attention seeking complaining in every article/thread that's getting old. I think you'd be happier with another console or would you just complain about them as well??
The truth was about Dark Souls Remaster on Switch... I was surprised by the 9/10 because I pointed the fact that the Switch version was more a "missing link" between the original PS360 and the "real remaster" on PS4/XBOXONE.
They all came to say that I was trolling but I just said the truth and now that Digital Foundry explain point by point everything that I talk about (like the dynamic resolution etc...), they are still dudes to say bad stuffs about me... I mean, even with facts and proofs in front of their eyes, they prefer to attack me than just say OK you were right on this or that...
PS : Just to make it clear, I don't care if some people like me or not but I think some people are really fanatics towards a brand or a company... and it's scary sometimes to realize how far it can go...
