He also said the game is being built to stay faithful to the original story's emotional core and the relationships between its characters, while updating the visuals and design for modern tastes. "For players familiar with the original game, I think what matters goes beyond the story arc itself – it's the relationships between the characters, and the emotions they felt upon discovering this world," he said.
