I really love how the graphics have not changed that much, just looking less jagged and smoother. Though still would be nice to disable to get the original graphics.
Now we need to make an FP Empire to dominant multiplayer!

In the 'compare' video it pretty much looks like they only changed the the resolution.
and i think they changed the texture filter.

I'm pleasantly surprised, the graphics seem pretty much unspoilt. Thank fuck for changing that rock texture, but I'm not sure on that fire sprite.

Did you notice one of the players' names in the trailer? Looks like he did make a new friend after all. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22990731/SA%20Emotes/emot-3.gif[/img]
