Probably because if they showed the saturn version, casuals would think "a saturn game. Fuck that"

Yeah, I have heard nothing but praise for this game. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet, myself, but I plan to (seems I might as well pick up this new version. I'm hoping it's available on GOG). Lobotomy were wizards with the Saturn hardware and most consider that the best version gameplay-wise (there's a lot of structural differences between the three versions on PS1, Saturn, and PC, but PS1 & Saturn have more in common than either do with the PC one).
Seems like it was basically Metroid Prime years before Metroid Prime, I miss this type of unique creativity in the AAA gaming space

The Digital Foundry video about this game made it sound really interesting, like a proto Metroid Prime. Might have to give it a shot at some point.

I played the DOS version so many years ago, and i heard that the Saturn version was a completely different game, significantly better even. It's going to be fun playing this, definitely will give it a try.

Loved this game, still play it to this day. It's called Exhumed over here though.

Completely wrong. The Saturn had better levels that had to be redesigned for the PSX, and the Saturn had gameplay elements (power ups) that weren't in the PlayStation version. It also ran better.

Same with Duke nukem 3d too (as in superior version)
Lobotomy were wizards.
On the Saturn they used 2 CPUs to render the walls and then the rest of the system for everything else. Even Am2 was like "The fuck...?"

Kind of "Taking the rough with the smooth"

SUPER hyped about this. I've ALWAYS wanted to play Powerslave, and never have.

Man it's been forever since they yanked the fan project, whatever it was called, PowerslaveX? Been a long time in getting this to market

More Saturn, less PlayStation in the mix. Please, ta.
Exhumed as us lot over The Pond had it named, was a fantastic game on The Saturn.
Lobotomy really were a special dev team back then, especially with what they crowbarred out of Sega's machine.

Not sure if I was too young when this game came out, or too poor to afford it at the time; but I've never heard of this game.
But I'm glad a lot of you are excited and happy over the news

Nightdive bringing it. I'm all in! Woohoo!!!
To be fair to rage software, John Carmack was the problem we should have had 60 fps doom on the saturn, but apparently Carmack thought affinity texture warping was worse than 13 fps

Yeah, this looks like one of those cases where improving the problems of the original irons flat some of its old charm; the chunky framerate could make the sprite characters seem creepy, and the grainy texture display really gave the lighting effects stark contrast and dimensionality. It's a rare case where "better" isn't better because some of the technical deficiencies played into the highs of the original experience.
(*Another one with that "better ≠ better" feeling for me is PS2 Medal of Honor Frontline; when they "remastered" it for PS3, it felt like a normal game, not this incredible epic that was straining the console to its metal to try to render the chaos and expanse of that harrowing beach assault.)
In other parts of the trailer, Exhumed Remastered looks fine and like a lot of fun, so maybe you can get used to it or there's plusses and minuses to the conversion and that's just part of its own take on things. NightDive usually does trustworthy work, so I don't want to pass judgment, but looking at the trailer kind of made me still want to track down an old PlayStation copy or boot up a Saturn emulator and see this as it was in its prime.

This reminds me of the Grandia HD Collection. They said they were using stuff from the PS and Saturn versions. But it turned out to be PS only (as far as I could see)

Nightdive is doing God's work as usual but why does it look so washed out compared to the original?
