Coffee Stain Publishing have fully revealedGoat Simulator Remastered, a spruced-up take on 2014’sopen world, ragdolling livestock sandbox with all of the original’s DLC included. I played a bit of this atGamescomin August, and while the trailer below is proof positive that the remaster does indeed look newer and shinier, in the moment I couldn’t shake the idea from my memory banks that this was just howGoat Simalwayslooked.

I wonder if there’s a word for this, where years of beaming ever-more lavish visuals into your eyes tricks you into perceiving long-unplayed games as looking more modern than they did. Alice0 (RPS in peace) enjoyed how theHalf-Life: Ray Traced modmade the game still look old but in a newer way; kind of like that, except the changes only exist in your head, and can’t be downloaded from GitHub.
In any case, Goat Simulator Remastered is a modest do-over in terms of tech, and it’s uncharacteristically restrained in concept as well. From what I saw, it plays the whole remake thing straight, with no wink-wink-nudge-nudging about itself or the industry’s current love of reheated games in the same way thatGoat Simulator 3poked fun at sequels. Which could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you get on with Goat Sim’s sense of humour.
Goat Simulator Remastered is out on November 7th, via Steam and the Epic Games Store. It’ll be on Game Pass, too.
