A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Yeah, admittedly I did play the originals on release so nostalgia is certainly a factor for me. I did have the thought "maybe it's a licensing issue?" Until I realized the tracks are still in the game, just only if you're using classic visuals. I would have liked the ability to shift between classic/remastered visuals and audio separately (though I think with the remastered cutscenes at least, this wouldn't have been an option)

May be worth noting that, for the licensed music, in the game it's all instrumental versions, regardless of whether the track has lyrics or not. Searching for the tracks online will probably provide versions with lyrics where applicable.
