Should this not say re-remake though? IIRC this game already had one or two remakes, and at the same point or so as the previous stopped, with slower and smaller updates each time, so if I am remembering it right, your faith is wasted, as it is exactly like DS did with BB before jumping ship and reappearing with Glamour.
Because I have a memory of this one getting it's first(afaik) remake near the end of 2018, and I think there was one more in 2019 or early 2020. Someone correct me if I am wrong though. I just remember dropping it from my "keep up to date" list and throwing it into "check where it's at in a year or two" list. Might just be the fucking god awful short and waste of time updates though.
Not at all no.
This was a proper remake of the prologue. Back then, I was still using Discord and in slim's discord. A lot of work went into it.
The remake was justified, both on story and renders. The quality shot up, as in, we're not even in the same category quality wise. The former one was quite decent, but the new one is in the excellent range quality wise.
The story itself has not changed much, somethings were changed to make more sense, but it was essentially a massive quality remake. I'm not even sure a remake is the appropriate term here, a massive quality upgrade would be more fitting.
Honestly, slim's been nothing like DS or anything like that.
You've also got to keep in mind, that if you want the game and graphics to remain relevant, sometimes a massive makeover might be needed. This is especially true since the 20XX from NVidia came out, including and not withstanding all the DAZ upgrades since the couple of years the game's been started. This is a bit a risk for smaller teams, since it might be difficult to finish a game before the renders "loose in quality" versus what's "now" available.
Personally, I've got no reason to doubt Slim at the moment, and despite some choices I did not agree with, they were not like dodgy stuff or anything like that... Just things I disagreed with, but that are well within the creator's rights.
