These games were finished and pretty polished, and certainly didn’t take up anywhere near the file sizes as they do now. Even knowing the textures were upscaled to 4K, how does that end up with 60~ GBs of data? Even on Nintendo Switch, this thing takes up 34 GBs of data— more than Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch. I have not heard of a new engine being utilized so I may be wrong but how did all these new bugs get here?
This release has left me with more and more questions, and this is quite possibly the worst fumble with any re-release/remaster I can think of in recent memory. Absolutely embarrassing on Aspyr’s part.
