    Is this the real trailer? Because it hardly looks remastered in any way. It even has the outdated midi instrument soundtrack.

      Dark Forces is a bit of a nightmare to play on a modern PC since - unlike games like Doom - there’s never been a reliable source port. So, until now, fans have been stuck with running it in DOSbox with no native mouselook or other modern conveniences.

      Basically, at this point anything that runs natively will be a huge improvement, and support consoles too.

      As for the visuals & audio, personally I prefer a minimal approach over the way some releases have added pointless bells and whistles like realtime lighting which always clash horribly with the original art style. But I agree it is a stretch to call it a remaster if it’s largely unchanged, even if I prefer it that way!
