It's been a long while since I played this so I came back to check out what's new. I personally have mixed feelings on the revamp. Obviously it is artistic choice, but for me, some changes I like and others not so much.
In terms of scenes, while they look better in appearance, some of the detail is missing that was there before due to changes in room orientation or whatever else took place. This could be to speed up the release of the revamp version, I'm not sure. For example, look at the background in these images.
ORIGINAL:
REVAMP:
Camera angles generally look better. The car scene with Miracle is a perfect example:
The Girls
Miracle:
Better face, more realistic looking body. Her skin got a little lighter which doesn't look
as good in certain lighting but it doesn't look bad and that's really the only "downside".
Paris:
Not a fan. The face lacks expression and the eyes are too big, more like a doll. The original eyelashes may have been a bit large but the new ones look off being separated and spread out all over the top and bottom of the eye. Also her original vibe was angry and irritable but then softened once you develop the relationship, you could see her emotions and demeanor change toward you, which fit nicely with her character. Now she appears more gentle and not as strong of a person, but also more emotionless. And while her hair strands appear more natural, it's way too blue, and follows too "perfectly" around her face. If the original color was returned, along with the old bangs, but kept the rest new, it would be better. Also, some of the clothing, like the pink nightgown, doesn't look as natural as before, and the new hair doesn't always follow gravity.
ORIGINAL (Left: lots of emotion, angrier. Right: starting to soften to you)
REVAMP (Left: emotionless, staring into emptiness. Middle: Even when smiling her eyes look like they're somewhere else. Right: Again, blank stare.)
Sasha:
Not a fan. Less natural in appearance, also looking more doll like with too much makeup.
ORIGINAL (natural smile, emotion in the eyes)
REVAMP (glossy, too much makeup, eyes look dead inside)
Sabrina:
Improved face and way more realistic looking body. I like the lighter eyeliner and she looks way more natural in appearance.
ORIGINAL (lacking facial muscles, too much eyeliner:
REVAMP (facial structure improved, lips improved, freckles much better):
Again, it is all artistic choice. While I may not 100% be a fan of every change, especially the radical appearance change in Paris, the artist's interest in their own work is what matters most. If they like the changes better, then I'd rather they stick with it and maybe the game will continue to completion, since so many other artists featured on here have abandoned their projects due to boredom, tiredness, etc.
