The main focus was always the gameplay, and the open world guerrilla warfare. It’s extremely basic, but the story was never really the focus of this game. One of the weakest points to this game is that the story is still lackluster. There is, however, some minor pop-in and blurry textures, but nothing real major that ruins anything. The only thing that I’ve noticed that wasn’t changed were the cut scenes, as they still use the old videos, and sadly they do show their age. It just upped the graphics and rendering, making it work smoother on newer systems and 4k support. Honestly that’s just about all they did as far as I can in my playthrough. Thankfully you are able to turn off motion blur and keep the game looking pretty. It always ends up making everything ugly looking and in some rare cases, painful to look at. HOWEVER, one of the major problems that companies always seem to do when they remaster or want to push graphics to the limits is the add “Motion Blur,” one of the worst things you can do. On a three year old budget computer, I was still able to run this on ultra settings and not have any issues! There were only a few times I’d drop some frames but it hardly ever happened, and there was really only one crash from the extra game mode Wrecking Crew, but otherwise it seems to be very stable. How big exactly? Well the original version (according to Steam install) is only 8.5GB big, where as this remaster is a total of 32GB! Like I said I never played the original PC version, but even just looking at old screenshots and videos you can see the difference. You may be wondering, what exactly is different with the remaster version? Well besides including all the DLC (which the PC version included originally, but not the console versions,) it has a huge graphical update. Obviously this was only for PC, as on consoles it’s technically on a new system, but hey at least they made a physical disk copy for PS4 and Xbox One! It’s a scummy practice, and I’m very glad to see THQ Nordic did not follow suit. In some rare cases it even changes the game drastically by adding in pointless characters that don’t fit in, or loot boxes and micro-transactions. This is just very rare for most remasters these days as most companies want to be extra greedy and make you pay for the remaster, even if you own the original, or even remove the option to buy the original and charge more money for the remaster. One of the most awesome things is that the devs gave the remaster FREE to everyone that already owns the original Steam version, and they still let you purchase the original as they come bundled together.
I’ve never played the PC version (even though I’ve owned it since 2013, whoops!).
So the last time I actually played RF:G was way back in July 2010 and my memory is a little foggy on all the exact details, but I remember most of the game, as I loved playing this back on the PS3.
