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.
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!
still own the original old Version CD in my retro collection and can play this amazing game with my Windows 98/XP Retro PC.
I'm waiting for a good offer, 29€ is too expensive for me ;-).
kind regards
Low industry standards aside, from a visual and gameplay perspective this is generally a pretty good remaster. Every change is significant enough to enhance the original game's feel, while remaining subtle enough to not appear like a garish amalgamation of poorly thought out mods. All and all, the art and design teams did a very good job.
Unfortunately, it suffers from an issue that's been plaguing remasters for as long as they've existed, namely the fact that the focus has been placed exclusively on the visuals and gameplay while the audio has gone completely ignored, and The Thing's audio has not aged well even for a PS2 era title. It's disappointing to see that Nightdive has continued the trend of making no effort to improve it despite how heavily this title relies on atmosphere to sell itself:
- There are frequent moments of radio silence where there's literally no sound playing, then you start crawling through a vent or reload your weapon and the most awkward Half-Life-esque sound kicks in like a phone ringing in a library.
- The music, although true to the movie, is so poorly timed that it almost feels like it's bugged at times. You open a door and the game goes "dun dun... dun dun... dun dun..." then 10 seconds later it abruptly goes back to total radio silence.
- Some sound effects like the aforementioned reload sound felt pretty outdated even by PS2 era standards, and they haven't exactly aged well since then. There's a huge discrepancy in terms of sound quality between the various sound effects. Some are relatively crisp while others sound like they were captured with a tape recorder.
- They removed the credits song, After Me by Saliva. The original track they replaced it with is arguably more fitting, but the old credits were a piece of early 2000's nostalgia that should've been preserved, since that's kind of the whole point of remasters like this. C'mon guys it's just one song, can't be that expensive.
Maybe wait for a sale.
