What you see on screen now is finally what I saw in my imagination! It's something I wanted to do 8 years ago, but the budget and schedule were just too tight back then. Gone are the static images! Now, The Player walks into the frame, with his legs! He speaks, with his mouth! In all seriousness though, the new animation really gives it an extra 'oomph'. Right off the bat, you'll notice the shiny new animated cutscenes. As I went back to play through RCR, many of SH's improvements became even more apparent, and I felt compelled to bring a lot of those back into to RCR too!
RETRO CITY RAMPAGE DX PCGW UPDATE
The DX+ update also benefits from the years of polish and work that went into Shakedown: Hawaii's engine. Simply put, if you're like me, you won't even remember an RCR that didn't have animated cutscenes after playing the update! The best visual improvements, so complementary, feel like they were there all along. The ones you won't even notice, but will leave you with a more satisfying experience. I didn't want to flip the game on its head though, don't worry! The best refinements are often the subtle ones. I dove back in with a fresh pair of eyes, and once again played through the game over and over from beginning to end, further polishing and refining the experience each time. Like the original to 'DX' before it, 'DX+' is another top-to-bottom fresh coat of paint. It improves vehicle spawning, improves swimming controls.


It includes more HUD options and overscan control to ensure the game (and UI) can better fill the screen.

It adds support for ultra-wide monitors and more dynamic aspect ratios. Retro City Rampage DX+ adds more visual polish - including animated cutscenes. well, I couldn't really decide, so I just called it " DX+". and it's included on the Wii disc!
