“We saw that fans were disappointed at the lack of backwards compatibility for Escape from Butcher Bay, so it was decided not only to port the game to the current consoles, but to upgrade the graphics and controls to make it a worthy next-gen experience for both players new to the game, and to those who have fond memories of the original version. ”
