Nightdive Studios Teasing "The Thing" Remaster/Re-release

I liked that the main character's name was Blake and he sounded like a b-tier Snake from MGS :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Carpenter is still alive and kicking and loves his games. He's even quoted on the back of the case for this one

I'd think Nightdive has enough clout at this point that they could get him involved if they wanted. If anything just to build extreme hype
 
Love the movie - it's a top3 Carpenter for me but had just about zero urge to play the game when it came out. Probably the main reason why I never bothered to check out the remake of the film. I guess I simply don't want my memory of the film to be tainted in any way or form.
 
It also got leaked that they're releasing Killing Time: Resurrected.

Which is awesome because it's an interesting game but pretty clunky. The Nightdive treatment is really going to make it shine.

The remake is shite. Don't bother.
 
Always wondered if this was any good.

Anyway, love these AA rereleases for new machines. Games were better back then.

CAN ANYONE REMASTER KING'S FIELD 4 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Hell yes! Day one! For those who don't know, this game has a mechanic where it randomly assigns your teammates to secretly be "the thing," so every playthrough is filled with the same paranoia as the movies. You never know who's human… and who isn't.
 
I remember back in the day my mate told me he played this and it sounded glitchy as FUCK.

Had to do the blood test with the other survivors in the game and they were all fine but then one of them ran out screaming like "AARRRRGH" and started transforming and he was like "WTF you were fine."

Always wanted to play it but it sounded like an ambitious mess for a game of its time.
