They're doing the HoMM3 Remake screenshot resolution comparison thing all over again. Commandos 2 didn't look that pixelated.
Ahh,memories are a hazy thing. I too remember some old games to be not that pixelized,but they are. Also i do magical ability to not care and just get used to it,even if it is 5 colourful pixels :).

Actually it might be just the fact that you rarely actually see the models that close - basically only during cut scenes. If you play the game on max resolution, the camera is zoomed way back and the models don't look pixelated at all.

there will only be one version of Commandos 2 HD Remaster internationally, and it will not incorporate any symbols, portraits, speeches or other assets that could break the law in many countries.
As a company, we are obliged to adhere to the law, but we want our users to have the best experience with our games without causing potential delays or even being banned in certain countries.

Therefore, we have decided on this course of action so that we will not be forced to split up groups of players or be unable to provide the game to specific regions at all.

-cheers

Just from that video alone, it is clear how much character and theme is sapped out of the game because of this decision.

I'm out.

Meh commandos 2 doesn't really need an HD remaster,it is fine without it. Now the first commandos could do with a modern version,will be nice to add a few good things from the second game.

Okay, so can anyone tell me if this is worth it all to get? Because to my dismay I found that I never got the original C2 on GOG and now the only available version is the HD remaster which apparently kinda sucks according to GOG reviews?

Okay, so is that supposed to mean that the game is a pos and has a milllion issues or is that supposed to mean that hard working devs took care of all the issues by now?
