    Dawn of war was severely limited by the tech of the time and was basically released as multiple separate games due to file size limitations. The Enhanced addition beyond cleaning up and updating the game for modern systems is still the janky mess it was in 2006.

      sure, but did people love it? I think that’s all that matters when having fun

      I guess what I am trying to get across in my original comment (poorly lol) is the fact that you don’t have to have a lot more computational power to make good art, you just need a good vision to make people feel positive emotions when playing a game.

      it’s what a lot of these HD remakes today are missing. the most recent example I can think of is the remaster of the first gears of war game: all the darkness and grit in the campaign was simply deleted

        Reviews are good for the game and it plays just as the originals. My point was there’s a point where technical limitations exist that can and do cause issues, Dawn of War being the best example since the original game was spread over like 5 individual games due to limitation reasons from the era, meanwhile they should’ve been individual DLCs.
