That's not bad news at all. I'm not surprised that someone reinvented it. In fact, I love it. I love "demakes", where someone tries to recreate a modern game on actual old hardware. However, I stand by my assertion that people who didn't experience these effects first hand wouldn't like it. Valheim is beautiful, no doubt, but it's not really authentically old school. It's an idealized throwback - its what 20 year olds think a PSX looked like. There's also zero chance it would look nearly as good if it had to run on actual PSX hardware.
