New Nightdive joint is a remaster of The Thing!

That seems like such a bizarre choice to me. Maybe the remaster will make the game work as it was advertised?

The Thing has a really good videogame shotty… that’s about the only interesting thing about it.

it really went downhill once you got to the techbase levels

thinking about how the fictional ufo50 console will by default have a better lineup of games than many actual attempts at making a game console

I first heard of UF050 because Keita Takahashi was supposed to have a game in it but it looks like that’s not even true? How else have video games lied to me?

having the impossible hope that they’ll also release a worse version of this with all the games in a 2% finished state for the proper action 52 experience

as far as i can tell, Keita is not particularly good at managing projects but keeps doing it because the alternative is more annoying to him

Man i really though this project was never gonna come to light. Feels like a product of another age. Still excited tho

I hope it’s secretly a herstorylike, with a conspiracy you can reconstruct from easter eggs and developer rooms

There’s a standalone demo of this now too

I wasn’t particularly good at it, and it sorta ran like crap on the PC I had at the time, but I sure liked the original.

Remember getting into a discussion about the controls in the original with a person on a set of forums a lifetime ago. They were saying they felt like the controls were really sloppy and that the avatar was really hard to control. I pointed out that what they were seeing was that everything had (more-or-less) a 100% commitment and that when you hit the button(s) to do a thing, you were going to just do it. They played a bit after I pointed that out and it clicked for 'em and they enjoyed it.

Not really evangelizing the original, but it was fun being like “Hey, here’s the bit you’re missing, go ahead and try it out with this in mind and see if it works for you,” and it payed off.

this was on the Guerilla Collective stream, like the commitment to brown grisly Manhunt style visuals

also speaking of guerilla, was amused to a see an actual guerilla themed game, tho on the latin american games stream

this is a cool looking minimal shooter

this was on the future game show stream. i’ve known of this developer (Celery Emblem) for awhile and own a couple of their games, tho haven’t gone very deeply into them because they do seem like kind of a mess to play. so maybe check out at your own risk if it does seem interesting. feel like someone here would be interested though. and apparently it’s already out?

also i posted this in the other thread but this is kind of a cool looking Hotline Miami clone
