Nightdive is known for taking some liberties in their remasters in order to improve the original game. Even level design changes are applied sometimes. I'm sure it will come out good.

[@greermcgreer8596]

Well said, I was thinking the same exact thing

[@TeurastajaNexus]

Can't wait!

[@CozyCabinLife5301]

These guys got it. They'll do it right.

[@TheRealBSDigitalQ]

The thing (heh) that I'm most excited about is something that appeared at the end of the announcement trailer, and that's being able to have your teammates with you in boss fights. Fingers crossed that wasn't something they just did for the trailer.

[@DirtyBeatzMusic]

you could do that in the original in some parts but they would die instantly. its better to leave them behind to help you later

[@shreksnow1918]

It’s great to hear that they’re bringing on the original team to help flesh out certain parts of the game and add quality of life improvements to give us the definitive version of The Thing. I wish more remasters would get this treatment. A game I’d LOVE to see get this same treatment is Jurassic Park Trespasser. Sadly, haven’t played it, but I’ve been looking into the thing and it looks really interesting. With some fine tuning you’d have something truly great. Plus, if they got the advanced dinosaur ai that was supposed to be there we’d be in for a treat. On the off chance this happens I’d want some crazy person to come along and make it VR (some guy is remaking Trespasser in VR using Unity. Sadly, he doesn’t really know how to code, and is mostly using little bits that work. By his own admission he’s more of an artist).

[@TheAmShagaarProduction]

Hooray! Those guys deserve a medal for the System Shock remake.

[@bursegsardaukar]

Can they do AVP 2 next?

[@MisfitPunish3r]

I think one of the best things they could do would be to remove scripted infections and have dynamic cut scenes that reflect the outcomes of those.

[@FsMetal-gk4iw]

System Shock is the only full on remake that Nightdive have done - and it is very VERY good. Their remaster jobs are always top quality work. At the very least, the game will look great and run well But they do have a history of going above and beyond for their remasters. Quake, Quake 2 and Doom 64 all got new levels to play. The Powerslave remaster mixed the best aspects of the console port and the PC version together.

[@Gorgutsforcongress]

Holy shit, dude....they remade Powerslave? 😮

[@Gorgutsforcongress]

Don't forget they added the unreleased content back into Shadowman as well. That alone was worth the price of admission.

That's what adds the skill so they are fixing a skill isues

[@Артём-ж3р8ы]

​@jonathanoxlade4252 if you can get stuck in the game with no way to progress further for such a trivial reason, then it's a huge design oversight and not a "skill issue"

​@@Артём-ж3р8ы the way i see it, is they wouldn't let you get into a place where you couldnt do it, resident evil 2 remake i got stuck on that first boss with like 8 bullets and no shells but still got thru it

[@wantsome-zs5sq]

I bought The Thing the day it came out in 2002. It scared the shit out of me.

[@jasonorriss]

I’ll be interested in seeing how it turns out, but I still think a full remake would be better. One of the things that bugged me about the original game was the constant jumps in location. I feel like a Thing game would be much spookier if it was set in one location (like Resident Evil, and the original movie). The squad mechanic was nice with the Trust/Fear system, but it would have worked much better if you actually kept the same squad throughout the majority of the game. There’s no real need to trust any of the characters when there’s a revolving door of characters coming and going. I hope this remaster sparks interest in a full redo or sequel.

[@dsheppard297]

Sure hope they do Cold Fear.

[@ThePhOeNiX86]

Wow cold fear haven't played that in ages.

[@marudeath3561]

You triggered the remastered and nobody can change my mind

[@TripleR250]

Can't believe it's getting remastered! a great Easter Egg to my childhood!

[@k12gamer72]

If they did a remake, it would probably be similar to the new game Still Wakes the Deep that just released into GamePass.

[@lordvlygar2963]

I was about to tell you about that podcast. They are putting most of my worries at ease, as well. Along with the announcement of the Marvel Capcom compilation, today has been a great day for video game news.

[@Name-xf9du]

The original was ahead of its time. Glad to see a remake with modern technology.

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

I loved this game! Definitely had its flaws, but I think they were overshadowed by the overall aesthetic and creativity from the development team. Can’t wait to see the rough edges smoothed out! Thanks for the news!

[@ALiberalVeteran]

[@grey_wulf]

So stoked for this! Love the movie and played the game on the ps2.

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

I had just played the original The Thing for ps2 and finished it yesterday in preparation for this. Its a good game still but it has definitely aged, especially its control mechanics. If i had to fix certain issues it would be this: The Game mechanics, specifically the aiming system needs to be fixed as it seems to slow and the aim needs to better co-ordinate with the movement. The amount of Human enemies especially towards the last few levels needs to be somewhat reduced. Health Packs need to be more available or at the very least, every time you start a new chapter the health needs to restart back to full health. The fact they are fixing the weapon and Ai System especially they are actually fixing that anyone can turn into the thing at any time rather than being scripted is a huge bonus. Hope it turns out well :D

[@Mortuary_Gaming]

Incredibly well said. I completely agree.

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

@@Mortuary_Gaming Thanks, I still love it and will play it again but if it can be improved without compromising its original integrity it will be great :D

[@Skippy19812]

I liked The Thing game, but only because the movie is probably my favorite movie of all time. If I wasn't already a Thing mega nerd the game definitely wouldn't have won me over. There were too many issues with the way it played for it to be considered anything but incredibly flawed. For the re-release to be truly worthwhile they would have to rework not only the controls and shooting mechanics but the infected NPCs as well. The Thing's main selling point (aside from the body horror and isolation) is the paranoia of not knowing who is infected and if/when they will turn on you. Scripting it kills the tension entirely to the point that the mechanic may as well not be there at all. It would be great if they did do a complete rework of the infection mechanics but that's a big ask, so I won't be holding my breath.

[@PoeLemic]

Well, for me, I don't really worry about if it will live up to the original game, when it's either remade or remade. I just try to enjoy it and appreciate it for what it is.

[@ThePhOeNiX86]

This game needed a remake with all it's original intent and systems because they were great at the time but held back by limitations. Maybe it will make way for a proper sequal though.

[@nintendbro3275]

There was actually a lot of interesting ideas that got cut from the game, and with some OG direction, i think they could take this IP and give it the game it always deserved.

[@nintendbro3275]

[@bhamacuk]

I can't wait for it. I bought the original PS2 day one but I had a few reservations. the monsters looked crap for a start with too much reliance on the head creatures. I loved the trust mechanic though

[@dadandvideogames]

New follower. I'm very excited to get the chance to play this!

[@noahshafer288]

Anyone looking for a thing like game check out Still Wakes the Deep. Its like the thing but on a oil rig. Its a short 4 hour game that packs a big punch. The story is very solid too

[@milestrombley1466]

I'm glad I will get a chance to try it out.

[@deandevine2107]

I’m excited for this because I’m a huge fan of the film and was so excited when I bought the game for the original Xbox. I enjoyed that it was a sequel to the film and honestly didn’t feel the game was flawed (of course playing it now 22 years later the game will feel very flawed but at the time I was immersed in the story so really any funky gameplay mechanics really didn’t phase me). BUT I never beat it. I got near the end and the game crashed in the middle of saving, the save file was corrupt, I had to start all over again. I remember feeling so pissed off, sunk hours into it, got so close to the ending and had it ripped from me. I never picked up the game again after that. So I’m hoping they breath new life into this, improve on it so I can play through it again fresh and finally finish what I started as a teenager 22 years ago

[@javarjv]

Hopefully they do change quite a bit of new stuff with it, like combat, make the aiming a lot more like the evil within or re, add new stuff to the infection system, add new enemies & some new weapons, make replays more varied, etc., & i also really hope we get a full on RE2 style remake with modern graphics content & gameplay, or a completely brand new game with a new story, etc. But this remaster will probably have to sell well for that to happen.

[@katieblackmore2004]

Everyone has different views on games and what was once a great game....... But it is strange that in 2024, if a games showcase for ''whoever'' or whatever platform... Be it SX, PS5 or PC, if game developers just came out and said OK in 2025 we will be releasing remakes/remasters of Syphon Filter 1 and 2 Medal Of Honour 1 and 2 Conflict Desert Strike and Global Strike Dino Crisis Clock Tower Parasite Eve 1 and 2 SOCOM US NAVY SEALS Cannon Fodder For me and many pals..... We would literally s##t our pants in shock and delight if they did this, rather than this new age garbage we have had lately.

[@GaigeG203]

Nightdive easily won my trust when they released the fantastic System Shock remake and remastered version of Shadowman. Can't wait to see what they cook up with the Thing

[@CaptToilet]

I have no doubt Nightdive will do this game justice. Sure they had some stumbles with Bladerunner and the initial release of Blood, but honestly what developer hasn't in this day and age. They are quick to fix the screw ups and that is what matters.

[@labmonkeyplays6665]

Just subbed and feel ya, I wanted a remake as well. It is Night Dive and loved what they did with System Shock so I'm cautiously optimistic. I mean the base game is solid in its scope (not execution) so unless it's an unholy bugridden mess of a game with the same technical issues, I see no wrong.

[@iguanaATTACK]

cold fear next? nahhh Ubisoft hate us

[@toongrowner1]

first time I kinda would prefer a total remake tbh. ^^; I have a soft spot for this game, since it was my first "horror" game (next to silent hill4) and there are a lot of mechanics and ideas I freakin love BUT at the same time a lot of things I don't like, like the bloodtest not properly working or where the story halfway changes to "shot the corrupt army guys"

[@Mortuary_Gaming]

I am completely with you on that, I was really let down with how little the game itself carries the soul and spirit of the original story. it really does just devolve into “doing video game shooty stuff” by the end

How it should be done is take a look of Black Mesa - Half-Life, that is how you make it. I havent come across better remake than that. You basicly got the same game, same things happening in the game, but its still different game, layout isnt exactly same, even tho story is the same and those fun places you had in hl is still there, just little different - this way you have same game, but still its new and you dont really play the same old game what you already have played many times thru before.
