It's actually out for real now.

Uh... Have they actually done ANYTHING AT ALL to the original art (graphics, sound, movies) besides adding achievements and compatibility? What about a resolution bump?

Doesn't look like it from the videos, in fact it looks like it plays with big black borders. Anything polygon based (the characters, basically) has benefitted from the smoothing/antialiasing that was missing on the PSX, but I think that was true for the original PC release. I recall it being similar on other cross-platform games like the original Tomb Raider.

Yeah, the PC version uses MIDI's which are triggered by what your PC's system has, rather than pre-recorded MIDI's that are on the PS1 version.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken it's actually a bit worse than simply having the MIDI triggering based on your sound card/whatever in your PC. I'm pretty sure I read that they actually recorded the MIDI run through the titty synthesizer they included in the original PC release so now it's literally the original PC audio permanently stuck that way in the game. Hopefully someone mods in the actual soundtrack for the people who buy this either way because I was blown away (in a bad way) by the difference.

Damn. I was hoping we could at least install an alternative soundfont like in the original version.

I wouldn't count on mods - I heard it's also DRM'd.
