honestly can't understand how someone can look at this and think it's better than a multi-column list-based format

How is it? Most people say the first half is great but it turns to shit in the second half. Yay or nay?
Hell yes. Those are still the best games Remedy ever made. I'd love to see MP 1 & 2 get remastered but instead we get mediocre stuff like Alan Wake.

How the fuck can people still say this after almost every remaster being an absolute turd.

What delectable scanlines / CRT filter is that, and what emulator?
Most remasters are turds because they were lazily done or because they tried to change or add something to the game that wasn't necessary.
We'll never see remasters of Max Payne 1 & 2 anyways. Remedy doesn't even own the IP anymore.

It looks like CRT Royale so that would obviously mean one of RetroArch's SNES cores.

Aye, for them raw pixels seen up close on your yuge LCD is how it's Meant To Be Played. That's exactly what the developers wanted you to see.

SNES games displayed on LCD screens without any sort of CRT emulation shader look like vomit

Cat Quest 2.
Fun little hack'n'slash; more of the same if you've played the first. Is also co-opable if you have any friends to play with (

Wouldn't a remaster of two Max Payne games be superfluous in the the first place, mate? I don't see what they could improve without ruining the game. Higher resolution textures would not just mess with the original artistic vision but clash with the low poly models. The first game already underwent an art overhaul while being in development. When Remedy originally started building the game in 1996 it was conceived as cartoony, it was only later they changed to photorealism.
The final game is as good as it is ever going to look, with the exception of some graphical tweaks by amateurs to give it a correct widescreen FOV and making the sound work on modern Windows. If they upped the polycount of the models and introduced modern shaders the look of the game would also become lost and it would look like Max Payne 3 at best, that GTA remake at worst.
You are also ignoring that even a recent game like Alan Wake saw a so-called remaster that made the game look slightly worse.
To me the game holds up and doesn't need a remaster even if it would have been a good one.
The textures are detailed enough that you can make out a tiny viking ship on Payne's necklace. The graphic novel parts also hold up on 1080p, even in fullscreen.
I'm sure you could get some intern to run the source photos through a photoshop filter and add some much desired comic sans, up the contrast and make all surfaces oily and wet and maybe use an AI upscaler, but I just don't see the point of that. Just like I don't think the green filter and subsequent alterations improved The Matrix as a film. In fact, the early 00's experience of Max Payne is a big part of what makes it so good.

I like the game but I would not call any of it 'great'. It has uncomplicated, Diablo-esque combat, nice art style and quests that (it seems to me) can be solved and conclude in several different ways. I took a break from it for a few months and recently picked up where I left off so I don't know how far into the game I am.

Pity the game is so terrible, aside from the colorized digitized Elmore artwork.
