After 15 years of not being available it has finally landed!!
I pre ordered it from GOG last week and it is live and available now, Steam unlocks at 6pm tonight by the look of it and is a little more expensive.
Initial impressions are awesome, it is more fine tuned visually with even better lighting and the textures have been tidied up. They have kept the original 4:3 aspect on it but you can go up to 16:9 Widescreen but all this does is stretch the image so looks a bit funky. The 4:3 version though you can have it with black side bars or a noir style side bars which looks cool and makes it feel quite cinematic.
You can play with the original tank style controls or using point & click interface or camera dependent movement. I am playing it with my wireless 360 pad, small gripe with this though is that it has Playstation controller buttons on inventory etc Thankfully, and also if you have ever used a PS controller then you will know what buttons do what, it is pretty self explanatory
You can also flick between original textures and lighting by clicking the LB button to see what is different between then and now.
Music is absolutely superb, I believe most of it has been redone with a live orchestra, so what sounded great originally now sounds even better.
I am just loving it so far, they have got the balance just right with this remaster, staying true to the original roots of the game
