Rating is based on what I think of the original game itself, looking past all the issues it has, being able to play it without those really improves that experience and I'm glad I can relive this game the right way after all these years.

When I first got into this community after playing around with a few early fangames, I don't think I would ever find myself playing the original again, given the amount of gripes me and so many others shared with it, may they come from the gameplay itself or from how (arguably) poorly put-together some of the source was for Guy. But I never had much faith that someone would manage to improve it on every aspect that brought it down so much while still being the exact same game that sparked whole niche of games so wildly different from its' origin, having the charm and original direction completely intact.

The amount of unparalleled effort that went into making sure this game ran as smoothly as it could in virtually any computer, with every single bug in the OG fixed and higher quality visuals/audio, go to the smallest details that most people wouldn't notice how much it adds to the game as a whole, and how worth it it really is to give the Remastered version a chance as much as you may dislike the original. Everything is perfectly consistent here and I'm glad I get to experience this game at its' absolute peak.

Highly recommend, for beginners and anyone interested in a bit of fangame history and where things really kicked off, as well as getting that itch for a nostalgic adventure that still holds up bizarrely well when you take out all the unwanted crashes and slowdowns... who would've thought? Thank you for saving this game from it's bad rep and giving it a chance to shine in the community once again, brighter than ever. Massive props to the incredibly talented team behind it!

*300TH ENTRY*

CAN YOU DO THIS FOR I WANNA BE THE FANGAME AS WELL??

For the first time ever, I won't rate a game in this site in either of the two terms, because this is a Remaster. I won't even Favorite it even though it's right there. For reading my original thoughts contrasted with those of Xplayerlol's, head here: https://delicious-fruit.com/ratings/game_details.php?id=11858.

This is a debate I was having immediately after I finished streaming this. I come with a film mentality, and you'll have to excuse that I have seen more than 4,300 films. I'm just biased.

When I see a remaster of E.T. - The Extraterrestrial, Star Wars (1977) and the like, I don't rate a new film. I just head to the same IMDb page and rate my experience. There is no point in creating new ratings for Remasters. It is an accessory stunt to make the movie more accessible for modern viewers, but it's not really a new movie. It just looks better. What about extended versions, as in Lord of the Rings? If you see the Extended Version, did you watch an entirely new film? No, you just saw an expansion of an already existing universe. Remakes? That's a different story: You're not putting your hands over a finished work and adding make-up; you're building something new upon the foundations of something preestablished, with a new cast, length, shooting locations, script and direction (do not even talk to me about Psycho by Gus Van Sant or Funny Games U.S. by Haneke because I loathe them with all my being).

So no, this is NOT a remake; it doesn't fulfill the basic videogame requirements for being a remake, and the title itself should be self explanatory.

It's a remaster, featuring new things, but providing the exact same experience. It even gives you the option of having the original engine, having restarting music and even game-crashing at specific points. The latter is hilarious, because it speaks a lot about the makers knowing how to be loyal to an original experience. Certain volume levels are balanced and are not ear-rape anymore, the experience feels more free-flowing as it saves the game at spots where it wouldn't before (such as after beating certain bosses), and the full Guy Rock... err... Guilty Gear Isuka track is as legendary as it ever was no matter how overused. The experience will attract new players to Kayin's genius original vision and will lure more eyes, ears, hands and keyboards to the underrated and underseen world of fangames.

I tremendously appreciate this work and showing every sign of respect at every corner, asking for Kayin's approval (who added this to his main page explaining how he gave some guidance) and:

THE SECRETS HAVE FINALLY A MEANING!

To be frank, if the technical aspects such as the engine and the game-crashing were a significant problem for the community, giving the original game an absurdly lower score compared to this one, I am more than flabbergasted. It's astonishing and mindblowing how little details made a whole statistically different experience between the two versions. Actually, the original engine made more sense at certain instances (such as the secret right before Mecha-Birdo, the only gate present in this game, or jumping to the final area beneath Ryu just above the fan). But those are, again, minor details that get lost in a sea of awesome ideas.

The original old tribute to the older era of hardcore gaming are back, with classic tunes you'll recognize, other obscure ones you have to know and the epic Megaman-esque character with a cape and a gun seeking to become The Guy besting the three original elements of this game, franchise, community and thousands of derivatives:

1) FLOOR
2) SPIKE
3) MOON

If you get all secret items, please head to the new area and read the sign on the painting farthest to the right. That's exactly what I think about this event happening.

Good remake, play this instead of the original if you are unsatisfied with the MMF2 engine and it's frequent crashes. It retains the modern physics because of the engine change from MMF2 to GM8 Yuuutu but it also gets rid of the 1 frame delay too. I've already told what my nitpicks are on Discord, and the people behind it are planning to update the game to fix the criticism that people may have. It comes with a few extras and bonuses if you are planning on beating the game and getting all secrets.

I'm still eagerly excited for the other remake that has been in the works for a while, so I hope that this project doesn't die out because of this remaster's release. It might be even more faithful to the original than this remaster, but that doesn't make me no longer recommend this version of the game in the future when it comes out.
