good stuff:
- as mentioned, most of the environment remakes are gorgeous (though imo some areas like the waterway could've had a brigher palette - more of a compromise between the 'realistic' approach of CS3D and the colours of the original game. i also don't understand why they made outer wall mechanical because it's not fitting at all but OH WELL). they're probably the best part of the game and the amount of effort put into small background details is super cool! i like them a lot!
- i personally thought the redrawn weapon icons were cool
- best official soundtrack remix i will die on this hill
- beast fang glitch is really fun to mess around with
- the credits cutscenes being unmoving dioramas are pretty cute (albeit kinda lazy), esp. the two based on the credits art - and the higher quality models used in them are pretty cute
bad stuff:
- while i'll give the models themselves a pass for being early 3DS (though i don't think they're very appealing), the complete and total lack of effort put into animation and model interaction is appalling. stuff like walk cycles being kinda janky, one of quote's back turned animations being kinda broken, and like... even minor stuff like sue stomping her foot, or momorin being surprised, which in the original game added a lot of charm, just doesn't play at all so the character'll be standing there until the <WAI runs out and the next bit of the event plays. there's not even a fucking teleport animation????
- lighting is kinda ass, it's hard to make out stuff
- a number of really minor things that bug me - sue's name being cut off in the credits, no visible currents in the waterway, the kinda worthless extra HP capsules that give 1-3 health (and cutscenes too, randomly?), the helicopter on the balcony always has the blades running even when you first see it, the stupid '''3D''' edits of the CS+ portraits, blah blah blah
- remastered is the only soundtrack, they didn't even include the original for some reason
- can't flip controls :[
- no chance of a remake on a more powerful console c'mon nicalis i would kill to see a better quality version with a solid lighting system and actual animations it has so much potential
