>>7659763I loved most of the remaster, but this is one of a handful of egregious "updates" that outright shock me with their inclusion.
The original cityscape had less detail, fewer and more scattered towers, but it conveyed scale better; I remember examining it and feeling awe at the implied enormity, that the "flat" space is in all likelihood a hive of giant buildings and towers massive in their own right, the "skyscrapers" being true monsters to rise above, yet all dwarfed beneath the Keyship and inside an obscenely-monumental cavern.
But no, this is just as good, isn't it? A (less-than-)average skyline, all square copy/paste human buildings, all on a painfully obvious matte painting? Jesus.
