(This short review is tailored towards the HD remaster of Nocturne). Good old Nocturne, though I do believe the eerie, lone, and abstract nature is toned down with the very... VERY bright lighting engine used by this remaster, in some egregious examples I think it looks significantly worse than the PS2's unique lighting which sucks to say. After so many repeated playthroughs on emulator, PS2, emulator again. Replaying this version is.. not a bad way to start.. yet there is merit playing the original. (Plus you don't gotta pay an extra 10 dollars for Dante, thanks Crapcum). Also the music is still bit crushed to hell like in the PS2 version which ironically fit MORE on the PS2, hearing the low quality music with the higher resolution textures and presentation.. weird, very weird and out of place. On the PS2, it fits (and makes sense since it’s the fucking PS2). Not my preferred method of playing the game but one I would.. somewhat reluctantly recommend out of convenience to those who don't want to deal with emulators. At least you get Raidou without having to mod the base game. Even with manual skill inherent, if you have a method of playing the PS2 version then go with that one, that’s the way I played the game and still man.. that game gives me such a feeling of dread. I know it sounds like I have nothing positive to say about the remaster, and other than translation improvements to demon names and being able to choose what skills you can inherit which is hardly something that affected the game honestly.. I mean it’s still Nocturne so.
