He could be more creative with the names though. By now we could have something like "Summer's Gone: Remastered Ultimate Edition 4k Version Redux Rework Re-Imagined - Based on and inspired by the original Summer's Gone™"
In all seriousness though, development time never bothered me. I've shat on Ocean because of the game's grammar, dialogue, illogical behavior, creative choices, never ending character model changes, among others but never for update frequency or even story progression pacing.
Every developer nowadays seems to be trending in that direction. Almost all games I follow and support take much longer now to pump out an update than they did 2 or 3 years ago. The only way to change that would be for an overwhelming amount of supporters to stop adhering to the subscription model in favor of a "pay for update" model.

Of course you can "choose", thats not the point.
If you implement those dark things, the whole game is a different one and you expect more of those really dark things to happen. Even if you dont choose to act that way. And there were already scenes with the MC that were kinda dark without any choice given to the player... like some dialogues or monologues (right before the possible shoot he is talking to Vic that he better put her out of her misery for example which leads to pulling out the gun in the first place, and thats only one example there were many more)
But as i played chapter 4... the whole dark approach early on didnt felt right anymore, the whole game got a little "lighter" in the mood, and the MC himself too. And that didnt worked out anymore cause nobody changes that much in a few weeks. So yeah, the rework makes totally sense just for consistency.
Would i have a problem if the whole game have been darker the whole time? Not really, the first chapter got my attention already with the initial release. But with chapter 4 the whole game went in a different direction... and considering that, the dark approach out of chapter 1 and 2 doesnt really work anymore... Ocean could have kept the dark way of course and go dark in chapter 4 too, but changed his mind about it, so it was the right decision to change the other chapters too.
The really dark approach is not my thing overall, so iam thankful for the change. But i didnt criticised the game for it, my point was... with chapter 4 the dark approach of the early chapters didnt work out anymore and the game felt a little off because of the change of the overall "mood" during the game. So yeah, without the rework it would be kinda messy, and thats the reason why i didnt played chapter 5 so far. I want to see the new "complete" picture.
Nontheless, SG is easily in my favorite Top 5. With dark approach or without.

The old version solves the inconsistencies and wtf moments of the new version. For example, in the old version, the incident with Summer a couple of years ago, severe isolation for only a couple of weeks. Najiko makes a decision about a psychologist quite quickly. In the new version, it’s already 5 years. Immediately questions to Najiko. In the old version , Nami and Nika are the same age. In the new version, the immediate question is why Nami and the mc are in the same class, if she is older. And so on.
To be honest, the darker part of the old SG had its charm. I played the old version of SG and damn, it's actually nicer. The problem of the dark path can be partially described by Bella's storyline during the Holgerson robbery. Without masks, without gloves, everything is so unprepared that we perhaps won't see path of the future crime boss, but a someone who would end up in prison due to stupidity.

While waiting for SG Ch 5 Full to come out, replay Ch 5 Beta (with Music Restoration Mod).
Found one of my favorite scenes,
(Yes, I like Cheto, so what?
But I don't identify myself as a hardcore fan )
mostly because of the background song used (Lifeline by Lvly).
Feels sad because this song was one of those removed due to licensing issues (songs by Lvly, Elijah Ford, Late Kids and who else? (if I'm not mistaken )).

We lost a lot of good music that fit scenes/animations so well.

no, most of the early chapters were. CH5 full will complete the full rework.

Yeah, most of us didn't like her after first release, but changed our opinion since. She's cool actually. Her (and Nami's) story is the biggest now. That could change in season 2. Other LI's didn't have so much screen time yet.

Yeah, I hated Bella originally. It doesn't help that she just looks like a complete bitch, she acted like one as well. As the story progressed down her line, I found she had a great deal more traits that made it understandable. She's still a bitch, but one I can relate to.

That part "She's still a bitch..." is correct. The dynamic and personality treads collision between MC and Bella is really good written. They have similar traits, but were lived on opposite side of social ladder.

If you say that, it means you don't understand her at all. Bella is evil. There can be no talk of any love on her part. Bella uses Nika for her own purposes. If not for this, she would have destroyed him long ago.
