I never read the comics but I had fun with the game and played it all the way to the end. The cell-shaded aesthetic was executed well and even the stealth levels weren’t too frustrating, and I get frustrated by stealth sections easily (quit Return to Castle Wolfenstein at the first stealth level for example).

The remake is looking niceish. Developer seems to be Ukrainian, so there's some promise there.

Great game I want to play it now. I am very glad to see it here. If anybody played it please let me know how much enjoyable is it?

Re "I think that the original game made more of the visual style, and I reckon it looked better for it."
I'd have to agree. It's probably one of those rare examples of where the original actually looked better in some ways than the remake. Having just watched a few youtube videos of the original for the sake of nostalgia, the game has really aged well and I might get around to re-playing it one of these days.

Looks like the gameplay has a nice 2000-era feel to it, which I'm digging. I also think they could lean into the celshaded aesthetic more. Sure it's not as novel as it was when the original came out, but it's still fitting for this game I think.
Also is that Duchovny reprising his role in the trailer Shadowcat posted? Or did they get a soundalike?

Count me as another who thinks the original looks better. The only thing it really needs is anti-aliasing.
Thanks to the stylised visuals, games like this and Tron 2.0 only really need a technical pass to bring them up to date and iron out any bugs that may occur on newer hardware / operating systems.
I think the thing that really stuck out like a sore thumb for me in the remake footage was the implementation of modern lighting. The baked-in lighting of the original suits the comic book look much more than the update's attempt at realistic lighting. I think that's them completely missing the point.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but stylistically that trailer for the remake seems like a complete ripoff of the Deathloop trailers.

An earlier section of ^this^ video (from 4:10) demonstrates that they're almost certainly using the original dialogue.
