This game came out when I was working at Electronics Boutique (lol). It completely flew under my radar, and I absolutely loved it. Never read or saw anything about it in magazines or anything. Loved the movie and checked it out. It was so much better than I was expecting, and honestly it had some really unique mechanics, especially at the time.

Played this for a little bit so far and it's amazing. I really love Nightdive and their quality, it absolutely shines here.

Now... if the IP could get more love in the games department...

Needed to get an engineer to fix the junction box for a door release. Load of boxes in front of it. Started to burn them with the flame thrower. Must have caught him and the team went mental and killed everyone. Have to start again from save from 15 mins ago. FFS. Lol.

The specs are so fucking low that I think I'll just pick this up on PC whenever it goes on sale.

I loved this but $30 is a little high for my taste, $20 would have been a lot easy to get asap.

Agreed with everyone saying 30 is a bit too high. It would have still been worth it if it was a brand new game looking this old for 30. But it's a remaster of a old game. Twenty dollars would have been fair for the launch price. Will wait till a half off sales months later or next year's Halloween sale. Honestly would rather they just remake The Thing like what they did for System Shock 1. Would have payed any price of that and I bet it a lot of folks would too.

I love the remastered graphics. They did a SPOT ON job.
It's MUCH upgraded but it doesn't feel like a grandma wearing teenage makeup.
Everything fits together

Switch version coming out later?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It's pretty damn awsome on the Deck

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Probably going to be a one and done thing for The Thing gaming franchise since Nightdive usually does remasters but If they were to hint that they'll do the canceled The Thing 2 sequel if this does well than it'll be a easy first day buy for this remaster. They could keep this same old graphic style too the Thing 2 sequel.

Damn, the Xbox version looks blurry. Nick could use the PC version with the Xbox texture pack in his comparison.

By the way, is it possible to tone down or turn off the blue filter? It's definitely too strong to my taste.
