The AI upscaling in Replanted really does take away the charm of the original. Fans who prefer the classic look and gameplay might like checking out PvZ Fusion instead. I've been using this site: pvzfusionfree.com feels much closer to the old-school style.
More controversy about the role of AI in remasters surrounds Plants vs. Zombies Replanted. A leaked version of the tower defense classic showcases poorly reproduced graphics. Prior to its release, fans accused EA of using generative AI, rather than enlisting the original artists.
