![]() This new multiplayer mode uses the remastered engine and ships from the two games and places them all together. What's more the old multiplayer modes are also absent in both classic games, as this is due to the new separate multiplayer mode included in the collection. Naturally you can play through with new saves just fine but I still want to fire up my old epic fleet and take it for a spin again. Unfortunately it seems my old saves for the first game are sadly incompatible at present, as the game crashes on load when I try to boot them up. These are a nice option to have, as the old copies no longer run on many modern operating systems. The music and audio have also been remixed and they sound superb as well.Įven if you feel put out by the changes in the remastered versions, you still have the classic games. As these have now been re-done to a much higher fidelity, it's clear a lot of work has clearly gone into this collection. Visually both the remastered games look incredible, including all the cutscsenes. The important thing to understand is that regardless of the changes in the move to remaster the first game it is still amazing to play. That is no mean feat to accomplish on the part of any developer tasked with remaking a classic such as this. In that even with these changes you can still work your way through the campaign with broadly the same strategy as you did back in the day. ![]() So on the whole there are a veritable litany of various functional changes that add up to a strange but still compelling result. That massively helps the pacing and is actually a rather welcome change over the classic version. While this reduction of carrier options can slow the game down one major improvement in time saving is that resources are automatically collected at the end of each mission. The latter may sound minor but on the Bridge of Sighs level trying to capture all the surrounding ion frigates takes an age as they all have to go back to your mothership, which can’t be moved, rather than the nearest carrier. ![]()
