Gold Rush remake for late 2014
Yikes. That’s hideous. You can’t just translate the 16 color AGI palette directly onto 3D models. A good art director should know better.
Also, I wonder if they’ll remove any of the ridiculous “random chance of dying completely outside of the player’s control” situations that made the original so frustrating.

The color palette is the smallest issue on those pics. Those screen shots look very much like beginner 3D modelers work. Everything is low poly, texturing is bland as are the lights. You just don’t slap models in the scene, hit render and wish for the best.
Yeah, I agree. The lighting actually looks more convincing in the top photo. I got excited reading the headline, but I honestly think I’d prefer the original over this.

Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.
I think it looks great! I obviously know nothing about 3d modeling, lighting, etc., and apparently that’s a good thing because it would kinda suck if I wasn’t excited about this right now 
Perfectly acceptable to me.
Not amazing or anything, but sheesh…I’m guessing it’s from a pretty small studio, no?
Just cut ‘em some slack, I say.
The picture Advie posted is the best of the bunch:

They bothered to secure rights to an ancient Sierra game, yet they didn’t bother to hire good artists? Those cloned shovels…

Perfectly acceptable to me.

That quality of art would be fine for a prototype or an early alpha. Not for something you’d parade with in public when announcing your game.
The art quality is, to put it mildly ...disgusting.
And I was so excited when I saw the thread title.
Is it a freeware fan remake? If it is, I’ll cut them some slack, otherwise I’d really be far more excited over a potential GOG release of the original than this remake.
Well that text is translated from German to English, but as far I can understand that is a commercial venture. If it’s not, then I’m fine with the graphics. Otherwise, not so much.
From Wikipedia:
The German game developer Sunlight Games secured the rights and announced a re-release of the original version in early 2014. A remake is also in development and is planned for late 2014/start 2015.

Yeah, this is a commercial release.

^ This.
Granted, it won’t win any beauty contests, but it doesn’t really warrant the criticism, imo.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

It could warrant it if they have the ability to realize they’re risking their sales with a largely graphics focused market, maybe they can hire someone else. Criticism good, Shaming bad. I’ll get excited on principal because it’s a great game, and the graphics seem decent enough to me so long as this team can program, know what to improve and what to keep the same. I most absolutely like the sound of this:
“three game control options (the original parser and two new ways of point&click;).” 
!!PARSER!!
Anyone know if their other games are alright?
It’s a good sign Activion(?) is still licensing remakes, but hopefully not to the cheapest companies. I don’t suppose either of the MacNeill’s are involved?
Here’s hoping it turns out well.
