Good. I heard this version was pretty faithful to the original and did not opt to censor anything from the original.
That is how games that are remastered or remade should be done: as faithful as possible to the original with the absolute minimal changes necessary.
If developers want to have a remade story that makes a lot of changes, then include it as an alternate mode. As long as the original is faithfully recreated, I have no problem trying out a new way to play. But only including the new way to play rubs me the wrong way. Its like someone in development said “I know better than the original team, and my ‘better’ version is the only one people will get to play.” I steer clear of those.
Resident Evil Deadly Silence did this, where it had its own “Rebirth Mode,” along with “Classic Mode.” Literally all remakes and remasters should have this.
I heard the opposite. It does changes to the art, runs like ass, had music removed and they kept cutscenes at 720p (including in engine ones). One of the Digital Foundry guys refunded it.
Maybe you’re thinking of Suda’s other game that got remastered recently, Shadows of the Damned, which does look exactly like it should, though it also doesn’t run great.

It sucks that music replacement is almost expected. A track was popular once, they’ll ask for 30x royalties on the next go.
Yup; RIP to Billie Jean as the first song you hear when you jump into a car for the first time in Vice City.
