These Video Game Remasters SUCK!
4. XIII Remaster
For those who have never played the absolutely brilliant cel-shaded spy shooter XIII then I really recommend you give it a go, as its brilliant mix of comic book panel gameplay, intriguing amnesia-centric plot and deviously devilish cliffhanger ending really do make for a joyous experience.
However what I want you to do now is take all of that, and just sweep it into the bin, piss on the bin, spit in the bin, kick the s**t out of the side of the bin for a bit, put a cigarette out on the bins skin, and then try and sell the bin to passers-by who have just witnessed the whole thing, as that's what amounts to playing the dog dick remaster that came out last year.
Which in case it's not clear, I do NOT recommend it.
The frame rate is positively slide show at times, enemies, scenery, hell even YOU pop in and out of the game world at a moments notice, sound effects that don't trigger giving a whole new meaning to the word silencer and the death animations or should I say SINGLE ANIMATION is so badly implemented that it feels like you're playing a parody title rather than a remaster.
It's clear that the devs who worked on this misunderstood the term "comic-book" and made this game so paper thin you can see right through it to its abysmal code. Don't just give this one a miss, but make like the main protagonist and forget this ever existed.
