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… 

 



The Thing Remastered Key Features:

• In 20 frightening levels, lead your team against terrifying monsters, from the scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to gigantic multi-tentacled beasts.

• Advanced trust/fear interface adds a new level of interaction – How you influence your teams psychological state determines whether or not they will co-operate with you.

• Use awesome firepower like machine guns, explosives and flamethrowers to torch your enemies.

Improved upon the original

Amazing what the developers did here! The game does show it's age but as someone who played the original there are a good number of improvements (such as scripted parts where your followers ALWAYS turn despite not being infected). A good way get more out of this game's story is to also watch the 1982 movie (a CLASSIC) as the game is basically a direct sequel. I will admit though I am a bit biased as I LOVE the orginal movie.

Another A+ for Nightdive Studios

Good game that I was only able to play via abandonware until now. Nightdive did a great job with the updated graphics, but more importantly, removing the scripted parts where your followers always turn. So now testing to see who is infected makes sense. Keep the old-school games coming.

WOW Haunting & Thrilling Just Like Movie

I've only seen gameplay overviews such as on angry video game nerd and GmanLives. That being said, I've played for an hour and is amazing! Nightdave surely recreated the original game faithfully - with crisp graphics, intriguing gameplay and simplistic. Highly recommend!
