@ACK I think the problem isn't even a lack of "90s" flavor. It's the lack of gritty neon-lit urban aesthetics. Even though there is a fair amount of trash and mess in the background, the lighting doesn't evoke that same dark feeling the past games did. Most stages in the old games were during night time too, and this one, from all screenshots, has been mostly during day time. It definitely affects the atmosphere. These subtleties are missing.
I still hope it succeeds and they get it right though.
