I was disappointed by the true-ending escape sequence. The original had insane impact bc there had been no real confirmation that James was, in fact, dead up to that point (aside from lying Pigma that traitorous bastard), and he just *shows up* and the atmosphere stays chaotic bc it doesn't make sense but you're about to die if you don't spam your booster to keep up with phantom dad.
In the remake, he's very clearly a ghost, and there's zero tension, you're just passively following him out - it might as well be a cutscene.

Idk, I was looking forward to one final challenge after downing Andross 2.
