I am seriously starting to feel a deep hate towards the concept of a game remaster.
Yes, I get it, when the game goes from an early 3D to a full phorotealistic experience. (Mafia might be a good example)
But most modern remakes literally just remove emotional intentional lighting, simplify animation, remove the 20 post-release patches and call it a day... In the better case. In the worse case, they also remove licensed music and change character models for uglier ones.
If a game came out since 2009 (The year, when photorealism in games got beyond the uncany valley), I am just not buying the remake. I want the original vision.

Thank you for the detailed analysis. In the case of game like Life is Strange though, each level is taking in a place with 0 physics and only a few dinamic entities. Unless it's an NPC, it's prety much static. That is why I assumed baking shadows to be the preffered technique.
@LukeAlmighty Light baking is often abandoned in large or very detailed environments because it often fails to get a good result, takes a long time to perform, and has to be done every time you move anything in the scene.
Modern lighting techniques and hardware has made it largely obsolete.
For a good example of this, check out Valheim.
Lights aren't baked, they just don't cast shadows unless you get close to them.
And even then, if you stand next to several, only 1 or 2 will cast a shadow, looks good enough, and very performant.
What happened here is actually much worse than not baking lights.
Everything in the scene appears to be a dynamic, as opposed to a static, shadow caster.
They literally just placed a directional light with dynamic shadows on everything and called it a day.
To make the windows appear brighter, they cranked up the value on the directional light.
That's why when E;R turned off shadows, it turned entire scenes into flashbangs.
Indoor scenes like that shouldn't be illuminated with a directional light at all, they just got lazy, and instead of making some effect on the windows (Pic B), they relied on the lighting system to do the work for them (Pic A).

I shit you not, this is the most hilarious shit I saw all year
@tomie
BTW, I thought you have a horrible taste in games.
How come you don't like Life is strange too?
@fuxoft
Except, I didn't. I was seriously looking for Crash Bandicoot.
Mixup with Banjo Kazooie makes it just more insane, that Google got it right.
How was Google able to absolutely untangle a complete brainfart? That should not be mathematically possible.
I seriously don't understand how the hell does Google work, but sometimes, it's pure magic.
I wrote > bandoo kaguie game ps1 <
Because I seriously didn't remember the name. It's a series of random letters, that have nothing to do with the game I am fucking looking for.
But it still showed Crash Bandicoot as the first result. HOW?????

Nah, the refusal to touch boobie is voluntary.

I really wosh some of these doctors would enjoy the beautiful feeling of spending 6h a night watching their ceeling night after a night after a night hoping, that their body will finally understand that you need it to shut down... But knowing, that instead they will feel horrible the next day when the body starts falling apart from the lack of rest.
But sure, I will try not drinking the fucking coffee.
@Someguy
> In fact the only thing it IS good at is sounding smart and it only does that by googling and repeating Google. Wow guys great job. What an incredible advance.
I am so sorry, you didn't notice the obvious description of modern education
@Someguy
Now, could you please remind me what a university education looks like again?
