No One Survives Alone.

 

The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to the genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios to bring this innovative blend of fast paced squad action meets survival horror to the modern era. Including Antialiasing, Per Pixel Lighting, 4K Resolution and up to 144 FPS.

 



Where the movie ended, the true terror begins. 

You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

You can play it instead of the original

Visually, the game was not spoiled, the graphics look the way the original is usually remembered. The shooting mechanics were slightly tightened, shooting became a little more pleasant. Several unpleasant places were changed, which made them easier and more pleasant to pass (I passed that very staircase on the first try). Even without counting the stuffy places from the original, the game felt easier on normal.

Short but fun!

This only took me an afternoon to complete but this remastered version plays very well with controller support and updated graphics! Good sound effects and gameplay but it's a little dated which is to be expected. A few minor bugs here and there but nothing major. Recommended!

Awesome job NIghtdive!

Pretty much everyone is already saying it, faithful to the original and looks greak. About halfway through and nothing new broken and plenty of old things fixed.

Huge Props to the Develpoers!

I was a huge fan of the 2002 version and I'm super happy with the game's remaster. The changes and updates made it much more accomidating to modern gaming. huge quality of life upgrades. I cant praise the developers enough. I always thought the game looked great back then but the over haul to the graphics is also nice. Also getting rid of the scripted infections and the dissapering squad member bugs was so nice. Also ver nice touch on adding Naul,s corpse to the opening level. Loved that because you never see his fate in the 1982 movie (My Favorite Movie!). I Can't recommend this enough!
