What is it with classic British games and AI-slop remakes lately? An insult to the original and I genuinely hope they fail.

I wish I knew. Not only does it come across as low-effort and shady, but it's like they can't read the room. How are they so out of touch?

Yeah, that trailer animation looks very suspiciously sloppy. If they really didn't use gen AI for the actual game, the trailer is doing it a huge disservice IMO.
Long ago I knew of a site/forum where people made fan remakes of old games, one of them was Jet Set Willy (Manic Miner's sequel). Their version had multiplayer.
