Pac-Man World is now about 23 years old, and while we have a lot of nostalgia for the 3D platformer, it obviously shows its age these days. We're pretty excited Bandai Namco is recreating the game for modern platforms with Pac-Man World Re-Pac, but how does it stack up against the original? As you'd expect, it's looking a lot sharper.
The publisher has released the above comparison video, presenting a few stages from the 1999 release and swapping in the remake to show the difference. There's a certain level of charm emanating from the hard edges of the PS1 title, but the remake really pops with its colourful, smooth art style. It generally looks pretty faithful and carries the same spirit with those goofy enemies and cheerful music.
Re-Pac is coming very soon, releasing for PS5 and PS4 on 26th August. Will you be chomping down on this one? Eat some fruit in the comments section below.

I can't see any difference, definitive cash grab....oh wait wrong game
@Deljo god I just want to go one day without people bringing up the last of us remake is that too much to ask
@Deljo at least it's not full price £70 , 37.99 on games website ,I'll wait for a sale but still excited to play it again
And it wont cost £70... legends only. We love to see it!
Think it's only huge triple AAA releases being 70 and I think this Pac-man World Re-pac is more of a Double AA? hence why its not 70. Having said that I'm not in anyway defending TLoUremake full price again for a third time
i know 20 years makes a difference from just looking in the mirror 😂 i think i’m too big to be 5 anymore 😂 ; but for real though , both versions look really good , especially the ps1 version . i could legit play that today and not have a problem with how it looks , the devs did a phenomenal job back then with the graphics . I’m glad games like this are still around so kids today can enjoy these type of platform games instead of just “pew-pew-pew” .
One of my favorite ps1 games ever.i hope they make pac man world 2. Also.and yes the graphics does look really good also.word up son
@Deoxyr1bose At this point, I think I am just going to avoid any comment section on this site. It's not worth it. I love TLOU and am so excited to play the remake on PC, but that apparently is licking the boots of Sony etc., blah blah. Time to just skim article titles going forward sadly.
@playstation1995 I'm curious as to why they didn't add pac-man world 2&3 in a big collection, it's a shame, I hope this remake is worth it, it's still not on UK PSN store or available to buy on disc yet for some reason
Yes.they should have add all the collection.but im glad pac man world is coming back.word up son
The original looks pretty good after 20 years to be honest.
I've never played the original game before, definitely looking forward to the remake!
