To be honest all styles are worse than the original in my opinion.

But from here the SNES style and the pixelated original style look best.

Meh, I prefer the original look, I dont think pixelated art would benefit the game. But I would choose the GBA style, looks nice.

Not sure why this poll exists. The current style of Binding of Isaac holds a lot of the game's charm, for me. Out of those images, I prefer the SNES look, but they all kill the origin art direction in a bad way. Also, which console... Vita with it's dual sticks and on-the-go play. Add some loot like in Borderlands 2.

Edmund said in the announcement post on his blog that he is sick of the current style of BoI and that he wants to make a "16 Bit makeover".

As long as the game looks descent, I'll buy it. But, it would be nice to see some features added over the original and expansion.

Have you read his post? It will feature new content and even local coop.

He should make it look photo-realistic. I mean really, given the content of the game, I think that'd be pretty horrifying.

Yeah, even the trailer looks horrifying.

The original look is best in my opinion, but I understand this new version has to be done because of flash. I'm fine with any style, Isaac is a very gameplay oriented game

Flash has nothing to do with the art style of the game....it could look worse than now, and still wont run any better because of flash...

You misunderstood, I believe some people were having framerate issues in moments were there was a lot going on dispite of their specs because the game runs on flash, wich is why this remake is being done

I don't know why, but I'm super excited about a pixelated Binding of Isaac. And if there was a Vita version I think I would be happy forever.

Best one is gba extra style one, but i dont get it. Other games may have nice graphics like (worms reloaded, rayman origins, awesomenautz etc), i know flash sucks (because it slows too much the pc), but justto make it work for every platform so easily, does it have to look like pocket edition? I really think it would be seriously very stepping back after doing it on flash with greater graphics and then switcing to pixel?

The pixelated original or GBA extra look the best to me. But in reality I don't think any of these new styles are as good as the original. I'm not saying the game can't work in a pixelated style, but none of these seem to be doing the trick.

I really like the idea of a remake in case of performance and additional stuff, but I prefer the original style and I don't want to buy it again even though there is a loyalty pre-order discount.
