This is why the NA 360 release is still the optimal way to play the game, if you have it. Ditto for DR2, since the port job for 8th gen consoles and PC is awful and performance/physics are completely broken.
I actually don't know how they fucked up the PC release of DR2 that hard. It's on par with Saints Row 2 in terms of awful jank
The studio tasked with porting it are third worlders, just like the chinks that the demake was outsourced to. When I was doing research for DR2/OTR achievements, I found a comprehensive list of bugs and engine problems that have 100% certainty to crash the game, and the only way to avoid them is to either not do any of the weird things that trigger them or keep saving and loading every couple of hours/between every 1500 kills or so for the killcount achievements.
I'd like to know the reason why they removed mirrors and most other reflections from the game when even the Wii version had them (not to mention all the other missing details)? This isn't some new, high tech thing, even Duke Nukem 3D in 1996 had them and that wasn't even on a proper 3D engine.
It's still more work and effort than anything modern game devs normally do.
The demake is full of questionable decisions, but you answered your own question: Laziness. The environments and graphics look worse than the original 360 release in most places, you think anyone there in Shanghai or whatever is going to take extra time to make the mirrors work?
Thanks for reminder that he exists.
This dude made an anti-white stream where he was hosting some sort of illegal alien charity event, shitting on "racist nazis" all the way. Note that he used to have a cartoon avatar of a white guy, which was supposed to represent him

It makes me MATI that every underrated YouTubers I liked suddenly became a sellout or tronned out. Of course he called people who don't like the "remastered" slop as tourists and pretend DEI doesn't exist so he uses SJW to play as safe as possible. Hell I recommended one of his old videos I found decent in KF once before. The hell just happened?!
Linked this to a friend who proceeded to immediately dismiss the video because Crowb sometimes cherrypicks stuff to show off the problems of a game.
Your friend is an npc. Showing objective truth like he does in his dead rising videos is not cherrypicking. Capcom drones are still buckbroken about the re4 remake video lol.
Capcucks really are something else, but they deserve everything they get.
I was on the edge of giving the Remake a try, thank God I watched this video beforehand.
It's not the poly count. Modern GPUs have no problem with enourmous polycounts, that's pretty much a solved problem - shit like Nanite in UE5 rely precisely on that (save for the fact that Nanites and Lumen is shit and fundamentally broken). The problem is shading those polys and that modern shading techniques rely on screenspace data being available - something that doesn't work in a mirror, thus breaking most effects that would have to be rendered. What older generations did is just duplicate everything behind the mirror, and since screenspace effects weren't used that much it wasn't a problem.
I always thought DR's post 1 setting was kind of fascinating. There's so much potential in a world where zombies are a known quantity, exploited and capitalized on by various groups to profit and maintain control.
Again, once you take the background lore like zombie zoos in mind, they become more sympathetic, but as they are portrayed in the game, they're kinda retarded. I like what they did with them in OTR, it makes a whole lot more sense that they're just a straight up fed op to start outbreaks nation wide for Phenotrans. I also like how Brendan was also given an actual role in the game, he always struck me as the kind of guy who would actually start an outbreak if given a chance to.
