It's great that there are many people who don't take issue with the port's shortcomings, but the issues pointed out here and elsewhere set a low bar. Like, yes of course the audio quality shouldn't sound like tinny 128 kbps mp3s. Frame rate dips may happen, but of course the game should have good frame pacing when it does hit its target frame rate. These aren't impossible asks. Of course the game should not look worse than its source material if it's a remaster. Ask yourself this: if they removed or downgraded effects from the game to make it hit its target frame rate, as some have claimed, why do they sell it under the guise of a Remaster instead of calling it what it is, namely a port? If the effects are put back in and it runs as heinously as it does in the original, what does that say about the remastering being done on this? The more footage and comparisons I see, the more I start to wonder what exactly is remastered in a good way about this release part from resolution and the average frame rate.
