Good lord, did you figure that out all by yourself‽
/sWe are talking old game remake lol
Yeah well, a remake means they made the game again. It's a new game, with the same content. That does mean it runs a new engine, and has modern-sized textures and models.
Perhaps they could optimise the game a bit more, I've always thought an installer that let's you choose wether to install the downsized 1080p assets or the full-size 4k assets would've been nice to have but alas.
Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.
I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.
I swear some game had high res textures optional on Steam. Maybe Witcher 3?
Don't know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.
