Ubisoft, PLEASE read this post from a die hard PoP fan regarding remake...
I know you have had an overwhelming response to the Remake's graphics, but please read this post.
It's no secret that fans want this remake to have Assassin's Creed style graphics, not Tales of Monkey Island graphics...
While you have said in interviews there is a certain "Artistic Vision" you are going for, the reality of it is you are making this game for the fans and so you can make millions of sales for yourselves (obviously). If you want to make this a AAA game and hit those sales numbers, LISTEN TO THE FANS!!!
Here are 2 examples of where developers listened and didn't listen to fans, and what the result was:
1. NEGATIVE: The Infamous Mass Effect 3 Ending: A franchise that had millions of fans behind it, with the epic conclusion to ME2, players were hyped and wanted a satisfying end to the trilogy. ME3 had an ending that the fans did not like, and the developers STUBBORNLY held to their "Artistic Vision". Look at Mass Effect now, it is pretty much dead and the Ending is still talked about and compared with other games negatively to this day.
2. POSITIVE: Sonic the Hedgehog Movie (2020): When the original trailer came out, the design for Sonic was horrendous, and the fans overwhelmingly voiced their opinion on this. The creators of the movie LISTENED TO THE FANS AND CHANGED SONIC'S DESIGN!! After the re-release of the trailer with the new design, the movie was SAVED and the fans overwhelmingly applauded the creators. The movie ended up being a SUCCESS.
Please please PLEASE, if you need to delay the game, then do it, just like Cyberpunk has done a number of times to get their game 'right'. The fans will not complain, and in fact will thank you for it. Because the result could be MILLIONS of sales for you, and you can remake Warrior Within and Two Thrones as well, where the fans WILL purchase them if you give them enough love.
Fans are NOT asking for a complete overhaul of the entire game, just the character models/facial expressions etc. You have already done the hard part (motion-capture, etc). All it needs is a redesign of the character models similar to Assassin's Creed (Origins, Odyssey, etc).
