Offered as a free update to the remake, this latest version aims to address each of the complaints and effectively represents a do-over. For starters, the art style now more closely resembles the thick-lined comic book style of old, as seen in the trailer above. Given the art style was just about the only notable thing about the original XIII, which was released in 2003, it makes sense to maintain the look even while making everything more detailed and higher resolution.
The update also re-introduces online multiplayer for 2-13 players, a feature of the original game but not the remake.The news post on Steamalso promises that the update enhances the AI, reworks the HUD and revamps the sound design of the remake.
Watching the trailer above, the remake does look better than it did before, although I’m still surprised that so much effort has been put into revising a remake to a game that was just-okay when it was released nearly twenty years ago.
