They moved the 20 years old sourcecode to a new engine, which was a cool feat but turned out not optimal.
It wasn't. I remember playing the demo back in the day from a magazine CD and thinking that both graphics and animations were ass for the given time.When it came out, it was considered great graphics-wise, iirc and it had a few cool features for the time.

Remember this was the same year System Shock 2, Unreal Tournament, Quake III Arena, Medal of Honor, Kingpin, Aliens vs Predator etc. came out.
It was also a year after Half-Life, Blood II, SiN, Unreal, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II etc.
It's really sad what happened to the Remake. The bits I played from it were really great and it didn't seem that they just Remade it for a quick buck. It seemed like they remained really faithful to the Original and put a lot of work and love into the Remake.
The download link will expire apparently:
They are identical apart from animations, graphics...

But they redone the cinematics and the voiceovers, which is a dealbreaker for me. They were not amazing in the original game, but they are even worse in the remake. And it just feels wrong hearing the new voices, after the original burned into my brain.My vote is on the remake. Yes the original has a certain charm, but personally I could not get immersed in its giant textureless voxels and Cutter's "stick in ass" running animations.
