Broken Sword Reforged VS Broken Sword OG

[@CharlieDwns]

Can't believe I am gonna buy this game again... I own it so many times

[@NeddyShin]

The way I look at it, I will buy this game again knowing that this money could fund the next broken sword. But I do understand your point as well.

[@aseingarnevaborn]

Easiest purchase of the year

[@jakubmalawski3506]

I still cant imagine that this is real❤

[@gullpayne]

Same here have it like 5 times 😁

[@salexa171]

I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@Honethite]

It's interesting how they've changed the bar in the cafe in Reforged, now it looks like a bomb went off next to it destroying the stool the bomb was on. I cannot wait to play this and see what's been altered and improved!

[@NeddyShin]

It definitely Spot the Difference. You can see the bar smashed in half compared to the original

[@Coldsilfur4]

But the bottle still stands 😅 But they couldnt change that i guess. They also fixed the pipe where George guessed that the clown escaped to the roof. But the pipe being too short for that in the OG to reach the roof. Now they made it so long that it leads to the roof. Tiny details but nice

[@vtidusgr]

Thank you for this. I didn’t realize how much cleaner it looks!! Can’t wait!

[@aseingarnevaborn]

Added to Steam wishlist, will be waiting to jump on that pre-order.

[@Gromber]

in the original, george´s hair moves when he gets the newspaper.

[@InnuendoXP]

there's a golden shimmer to the logo text too.

[@realdealmind01]

It's only the beta footage of Reforged

[@tyo101]

Thanks for this comparison! Hope you're excited for Reforged in September!

[@Wagoo]

It looks promising as long as they don't ruin it by changing things. Adding stuff on is okay by me where appropriate.. just don't mess with the original story/dialogue. One thing I remember from the original PS1/PC release is I think you could just keep ordering beers forever in the pub in Ireland, but that seemed to have been broken in the director's cut. I enjoyed taking my time in that section and getting George wasted. Little things like that can really niggle you But similarly, I'll be buying this to help fund development of the next game anyway

I've built a retro pc a few years ago, pentium ii platform, with TSENG ET6000 and a Diamond Monster 3d Voodoo 3Dfx card, and an amazing stereo image AWE 64 sound card. I still own the original broken sword an replayed it last year on a 1996 sony trinitron crt screen. At that time it was the only computer in the house, so all in an offline enviroment. And i have to say the old way of playing it has an element of magic, scary atmosphere at some points, and retro feel, that the 4k version on internet enabled pcs will simply not able to give back. This is not to say the new version will be bad, but to experience broken sword at is best, you would have to go down the offline house-retro pc route. It's like having watched magnum pi and miami vice recently on a crt tv though with a dvd player. But even this way, the series really did come alive.

[@JasperPeters]

Having discovered the game through the Director's Cut version (on iOS if it matters) the trailer had me going "yeah that is higher res I suppose, but is it really that much better? This video definitely showed that it's a lot better. I will say George's head looks weird during the newspaper reading, and the bartender's animation after being sat down looks slightly off and I prefer the more "slummed" version of the original there. But honestly if it released like this I would definitely replay this game once again.

[@MrGareth1973]

I almost have to say that the old version looks better for me, but I am very old :) Will buy a new one for sure and replay it!

[@Valkian24]

Some of George's facial animations in the remaster needs a slight bit of tinkering but other than that, it's looking pretty outstanding. Although I am a bit uncertain since they had to use AI to reconstruct much of the game visually (as said by Cecil in an interview as they had to do that for cost-cutting measures as doing it all over again by hand would be too expensive).

[@mistersurrealist]

Looks pretty perfect to me, to be honest. It's exactly what I hoped an HD remaster of this game would look like. The use of AI per se is a non-issue (it's the future, after all). How you apply AI is what truly matters. This, even in beta, looks outstanding!

[@Coldsilfur4]

and i think the face of George looks too happy in regular state. George can be a bit grumpy at times, not always. But this looks too nice / clean and all.

[@AudiiOoOoO]

In the original George’s face comes off more agitated or stressed but that’s probably due to the squish 2d animation back then. Updated version he seems upbeat at the start. Now I guess anybody could be happy not nearly dying from a bomb blast it’s just a little weird seeing everything originally with more clear detail. George’s face I felt was a character in itself and I hope seeing everything more clear he keeps his expressions as to what I felt they were.

[@prawnstarrr]

The updated graphics make it look a cartoony in my opinion, ill still get it though its a Masterpiece!!

[@Coldsilfur4]

heh? it always was cartoon look.. which you also clearly can see in the OG intro. As a kid i loved that it looked like a playable mystery cartoon

[@GamersDelPasado]

Por fin una remasterización y no un remake que estropee toda la magia de este maravilloso titulo.

[@blsof8bc]

It looks amazing!

[@eyeball226]

They've done a really good job here compared to remasters like the MI1 remaster.

[@Fabri-zv6dh]

Lo comprero' sicuramente 😊

[@IoIocaust]

Can't wait to play the reforged

[@andresitoo55]

haran lo mismo con el 2 y siguientes?¿

[@Slodsworth]

With reforged I wonder if it'll keep the death elements and original dialogue. Or keep the more up to date directors cut style. The original was so much better but it's good the original is still included in the package to swap between the two :)

[@alexismorales9725]

Todo un homenaje! Ahora falta soul reaver y matrix path of neo y ya estaria todo perfecto

[@rgerber]

should increase the saturation a tiny bit

[@Sinvist]

I hope there will be a pixelated mode included.

[@KnightMD]

$30 is too much. What is wrong with them? I'll wait.

[@thedkm-4894]

At 1:18 I never realised that in the original game you can see the professor's corpse.

[@OO7_OO7]

Have you noticed in reforged the bar is damaged and in the original it's not

[@thedkm-4894]

@@OO7_OO7 Now that you mention it, yes, but until now I hadn't paid much attention to that.

[@JamesCarmichael]

Urg. I don't know man. I just hope they don't mess around with the dialogue and story or anything.

[@JPH1138]

In his interview with Polygon Charles Cecil said there are 'three or four' minor changes to the script. The examples that he gave was changing a couple of lines of the Syrian carpet seller that he felt were too stereotypical and removing the bit near the end of the game where George kisses Nico while she's tied up. There was no suggestion of anything bigger than that, and all the references were to the original, not the Director's Cut. There will also be an optional 'story' gamemode, which will be an easy mode with nearly no puzzles. It sounds pretty faithful so far.

[@humphreybogus4165]

🎉

[@paulsmith9192]

Will reforged have new content? Puzzles or new dialogue?

[@redvex2114]

If you complete the game, you can unlock the PvP mode.

[@InnuendoXP]

George Stobbart's hair has been desaturated from a golden blonde to a honey blonde. Literally unplayable 😥

[@Coldsilfur4]

Dude.. its literally the same but effected by light...

[@InnuendoXP]

@@Coldsilfur4 Dude it's literally a joke!

[@funnystuttering4946]

What a big difference. When's the release date?

[@Rostovgenchik]

@@NeddyShin Do you think it will be released in January? They just wrote Early 2024 .

[@GlockGlock9000]

@@Rostovgenchik The first quarter of the fiscal calendar or calendar year. For example, if the company has a calendar year that ends December 31st, then Q1 would be the financial results for January 1st to March 31st. So it could be between January and March.
