Judging by the way steam usually releases games, I'd hazard a guess at around 6pm GMT and around £20. I think it would be a bit of a tough sell at anymore than that.

I'm gonna guess yes, no mention of physical release for now, but won't be surprised if there's LRG releases in a few months.

Agreed, the 80s film was one of the greatest films of all times. The 2011 one was bad but still enjoyable. But the game was never anything that amazing even if I did enjoy most of it. I do admit I suck at the game compared to other horror games around that time like Code Veronica, Extermination, and RLH. I enjoyed the early parts of the Thing game where it was more spooky and less actionly. I think a Alien Isolation type focusing on mostly immersion with a low level of combat would work well for a Thing game.

The commentary by Russell and Carpenter is hilarious. it sounds like they're both getting shitfaced while discussing it and making jokes. Russell's laugh is infectious as hell

Oh dude - I can't remember how many times I would roll my eyes when I would give a test on an NPC and he passed, before going to the next stage, only for him to become a Thing the second the next stage begins. I was like, 'what the FUCK.'

Damn, I haven't heard Placeboing in years. Super Predators was a certified bop.

It wasn't random in the original. The exact same NPC slot would always turn into a thing at an exact point you crossed through a certain room or area. It was especially apparent when going to a new level/area as there were moments where they simply could not come with you. Great game but this was a flaw that stuck out unfortunately.

A rare remaster that really was needed. Original was a great concept with decent execution. Adding some polish and adjusting a few mechanics will certainly make it worth a fresh play.
I really don’t think there have been many games like this where you have a squad that you can’t entirely trust. Like you hand a dude a pistol and hope he covers your back instead of offing himself with it.

I mean, it’s not like it’s a brand new game. I’m sure it’s still one of the best 7/10 games.
God I miss that generation. So many games, and most were good. I miss the days of Psy-Ops, The Suffering, Freedom Fighters, Rockstar games like every year, etc.

So many awesome mid-tier games during that time too.

Definitely one of my favourite generations of video games. All of those you mentioned were flawed but absolutely solid games!

That’s what I’m saying. I miss those non-AAA games that knew what they were. They knew they weren’t Mario, Metal Gear Solid or Halo. And that was totally fine.

$30 is right at that questionable price for a remaster at launch. If it was $25, I’d be there in a second. I wonder why my brain works that way. I might wait for a sale.Its up on PSN

There's a PC Gamer show going on Twitch right now, maybe the idea was to announce the shadow drop during it?

£25 no chance. Just spent a nice amount on Black Friday and backlog is already ridiculous. This will be on PS plus soon.
