I'll wait for streams. I watched the new movie recently and it was no John Carpenter film. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure I like The Thing anymore.
Horror is definately not my favorite genre, I only like it for the scifi angle. Hell man, I'm wearing an Outpost 31 shirt right now. I don't hate the films.
>consume new thing >ruins old thing
You're the ideal sheep people want.
The reason people bastardize creations.
Because if even a single person like you exists, that means its working.
Your mere existence enables further enshitification.
Meh, just the way it is man. 15 years ago I'd be the first person to hate on influencers. But it's 2024 and most games are trash. It's easier to just watch streams for a few minutes rather then buy games, install, and check out the game.
Huh. I actually played this game back in the day. Pretty decent though man did it have some sad issues. Like the whole are your buddies the thing?! part being both pointless and arbitrary. Not only do you lose buddies like every 10mins through cutscenese and level changes but whether or not they are the thing happens at set points. Hell at worst you can do a blood test, they are human, walk 10 feet they turn into a monster. This is a game that actually could make for a great remake but I guess that aint happening. Even if they did im sure they would frick it up. The game is also canon apparently and the end game helicopter pilot is Macready so he canon survives.
Nightdive are generally pretty good at implementing improvements to their remasters, given how the OG devs wanted the system to not be scripted but were limited by it being an fairly early PS2 game, I wouldn't at all be surprised if that issue is fixed.
You make it sound so simple. This would require re-working the entire game from the ground up. The way the game is built, it relies on the poor scripting for a level to progress in the fashion that it does. They would need to restructure the level design and code the AI differently, which is far outside the scope of a remaster. All Nightdive is going to do is put the game in widescreen, improve some particle effects, and improve some textures. They're not remaking the whole fricking game; that would be absurd.
Also, the game fricking sucks too. Lame ass third person shooter at best and an absolute slog at worst. I should know because I actually played the entire game recently and it seriously fricking sucks. There's no point in this port, other than The Thing branding, which is far from worth it.
Shadowman's remaster got extra content and was made better to play. There's nothing to say The Thing won't also get the same.
That said, it's a shit game at its core and half its mechanics are pointless such as testing your comrades.

Well, at least we can agree on that. I still say The Thing is too far gone for any kind of remaster to save. It won't be enough to tweak some code here and there.

Yup. Definitely agree.
If they were remaking it from the ground up with similar but functional mechanics, I'd get the hype since on an idea level, it sounds fine, but the end product was bad.
>The game is also canon apparently and the end game helicopter pilot is Macready so he canon survives.
The day John Carpenter said the game is canon, was the day you know he went totally senile.
I know that. Doesn't change the fact that Kurt Russel's character only went to the Norwegian base after they all died and died of cold at the end of carpenter's movie so there's no way he could team up with that girl assuming she really did survive.
>assuming she did survive
Kate definitely died. She torched the snowmobile that had fuel to make it to the nearby Russian outpost. The one the Thing tried to escape in was almost out.
Not really. Remember that the movies happen within a day of one another canonically. The two norwegians chase the huskything immediately after Kate blows up the UFO.
Someone could bullshit in a reason for the Russians to pick her up, like they detected the explosion from the UFO because they were spying on the Norwegians or something.

It would also make sense with the timeline, and make the lore that much more impactful. The cold war could be an integral part of the plot. Not trying to beat a dead horse, but SCP fiction bangs this drum constantly.

I don't buy it honestly.
Anyone finding her in that literal space ship would have the area swarming with people/officials so fast.
You could fall back on the storm breaking comms (windows can't reach anyone (but this has it's own theories around it that windows can't reach anyone for 2 weeks because he is incompetant)).
She torches the american thing in the cab after the whole earring thing, and gets into the other one, i don't think fuel is a concern nor does it get established that the one the thing drives off with is low on fuel.
She even puts 2 more cans in the back of the one they drive in chase.
I think it's a safe bet that she simply drives off back to the base and either radios or drives to a nearby base as she has plenty of fuel.

Even if she had enough fuel in the snowcat she has no idea where the Russian station even is. Carter-Thing is the one who told her about it and she torched his ass. She died, plain and simple. Froze to death.

Probably, since he was the one that drove to the site anyway. She was there for like a day or so tops so wouldn't know the way back.
It could be a pretty easy plot device for a sequel though, someone following her tracks or even just seeing her barely alive and taking her back to whatever base. >She wakes up in a med room >Everything seems fine >She doesn't talk about what she knows, is from, what happened at the norwegian base or where the site is >She starts noticing shit >Realises the things are at the base and they are now being stealthy >She tries to explain but is deemed crazy and locked up >Shit goes south and she has to escape before everyone else becomes a thing and she's out numbered.
Could even pull some bullshit with Mac turning up to save the day as he wouldn't just sit there and let the end happen, opting to hoof it to the nearby station she just happened to get taken to.

I wouldn’t mind if they did a sequel with a storyline like that. The purists would hate it because if Mac shows up at all it negates the ambiguity of the 1982 film.
They could have MEW reprise the role and cast Wyatt Russell to play his dad’s character.
Who the frick cares about the shitty comics and the video game. People who only care about what's canon to companies trying to milk the shit out of some product are moronic philistines. The end of the carpenter's movie is both of them realizing they're just gonna die so there's no more reason to be scared of each others.

Far Cry games are basically the Escape premise. The issue is that Ubisoft does not make very good games. Snake Pliskin is ths ultimate dude-bro, so I doubt we'll ever see a video game of either film in current year.

Kek. You clearly care at some degree. In case you forgot, you voluntarily entered a thread about the video game, you stupid moron.

Then why do you care about the game story in the first place? You're not a moronic philistine, are you?

This is a thread about the game. Not the movie. Different timelines if you really want to be a purist.
>both of them realizing they're just gonna die so there's no more reason to be scared of each others.
Which doesn't really mean shit. Because John Carpenter himself stated that the video game is a canon sequel to the original movie. Childs died, MacReady survivded and on the flight back home he probably fricked MEW all night long cucking both jedis and basedboys into eternity.
Even if carpenter said that the game is canon he never said that about the prequel and it even seems like he disliked it.

But he never stated that it isn't canon. And the devs can always state that any new entry is set in an alternate timeline. Just like with the Halloween movies. So there is really no reason for the devs to not make a game about Mac and Kate teaming up and becoming professional thing hunters.

It's a fricking remaster. And yes I would have preferred a remake whether it would have taken into account the prequel or not. The original game had some badly implemented but good ideas.
>He survives in the comics. Escapes to Argentina and becomes a professional Thing hunter.
That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. How do you have a world with recurring Thing incidents outside of isolated Antarctic bases without it just immediately spreading over the entire world?
Predator lore is moronic past the first two movies anyway. The whole "honorable warrior," shit is moronic and contrary to how the hunters behave in the films, especially the original where the Predator is a complete c**t.

I was more or less alluding to Weyland Yutani. In the comics the lore is all over the place. Even suggesting at points that the universe is the same as Blade Runner. I didn't like it, not one bit.
>A. His fate is never revealed in the movies.
Fact. >B. He survives in the comics. Escapes to Argentina and becomes a professional Thing hunter.
Also fact. >C. He actually appears in the game. So at least in the game lore, he survives.
Fact. But the thing (no pun intended) is that McReady either was captured by the military in the game continuity...or he genuinely became The Thing.
Nightdive are generally pretty good at implementing improvements to their remasters, given how the OG devs wanted the system to not be scripted but were limited by it being an fairly early PS2 game, I wouldn't at all be surprised if that issue is fixed.
Aye. The Turok 3 remaster is more forgiving compared to its original N64 version.
Added more ammo in general and in places ammo wasn't.
A: His fate is ensured in the movies. He's either The Thing or he's dead. Either way, he's not alive.
B:The comics also have the US show up during the impenetrable snow storm and has ChildsThing fricking with Mac rather than just disappearing into the Amazon. It'd already won. The comics were just moronic.
C: The game never mentions if its The Thing or Mac. Mac helping you destroy the GlowieThing at the end doesn't really stop him being The Thing when it didn't stop them killing their comrades prior. It's too smart for that. It knows all it needs to do is get off Antarctica.
The inability to replicate fillings and stuff like it felt kind of shitty. I don't remember why, but there was something stupid about it that was bothersome.
the assimilation process is hard to define between films and video games.
a perfect thing may be able to copy imperfections but this Thing has just been awoken from a crash landing on a foreign planet where individual human life seems to be out of its mental grasp.
it is very much a cornered animal and it adapts as such.
I never played the game much but I remember it being pretty interesting and its probably underrated. So it deserves a remaster. It will at least make me consider buying it. Yes I know I can emulate don't say it.
This is honestly the kind of game that should be remastered, something that’s stuck on 6th or 7th gen with no easy way to play on newer consoles.
Remasters of 8th gen games are moronic though.
I played this game though I recall not liking it very much. I think the platforming was ass? Which was a problem since this game was honestly an honorary platformer. Maybe I should give it another try I recall I was near the end when I played back in like 2006 or whatever.
he also missed once landed, then shot the guy in the leg, then fricked up his grenade by throwing it behind him
i'm sure he was just manically insane after just going through his own version of the movie but still, pathetic
It's probably not strictly a requirement but I find it highly unlikely that someone in his position would know absolutely no English at all. It's the international language of science and Europe has fairly high rates of English literacy in general, plus he's working in a remote research base where if things go sideways they need to be able to communicate with anyone who they can reach and chances are whoever they can reach will be able to speak English. I wouldn't expect him to be fluent or anything but I would expect him to be able to at least cobble together some very rudimentary sentences that get his point across instead of just yelling in Norwegian at a bunch of people who obviously don't understand a word he's saying.
That's fair, but in an extremely high stress situation, and an emergency, it seems likely that people would resort to a native language they can better articulate in when trying to communicate, even if the situation doesn't make sense. It probably wasn't the idea behind the scene, but it feels plausible.
Dane cook had a somewhat related joke and it goes something like this "I saw someone in the street that was about to get hit by a vehicle, but I didn't have time to yell "LOOK OUT, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET RUN OVER BY A VEHICLE" so I just yelled "UUUUUUUGH".
>That level late into the game with the huge stairway that has multiple parts of unavoidable damage
Remember having to restart the whole game back in the day because I had zero medkits and only saved over a single slot.
Horror/sci-fi is hot shit if yoy can do it correctly. Should also note that the new Alien film comes out later this summer. My guess is that they want to piggy back off the speculated success of that.
I remember playing that game as 7 year old, didn't know English so couldn't advance past the beginning, I'd just wander around, the UFO scared me a lot
I remember saving every scientist and security guard possible in the office level of half life,I had like 10 people following me by the time I got to the end of the level where you have to climb up the elevator shaft and you're forced to leave them.
>Ghostbusters 2016
The fricked up thing is that it could have worked because they had a solid actors, but the writing, director and the entire marketing campaign of shitting on fans of the originals doomed it beyond the depths of hell.
There's a lot it's missing, but It does a decent enough job showing setting up the Norwegian base as it goes to shit and shows how things like the axe in the door got put there, the guy who cut his wrists, etc. The guy who cut his wrists actually had his scene cut for some reason.
It's a surprise prequel to the original movie and word of god has stated that the protagonist doesn't even live after the ending. It's fun if you absolutely must have more Thing-Stuff after watching the 1982 film but otherwise no.
I'll wait for streams. I watched the new movie recently and it was no John Carpenter film. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure I like The Thing anymore.
the thing from another world and carpenter's are classic films. Don't bring the 2011 blunder into this
If a bad sequel kills your love for the original, then horror is definitely not the genre for you.

Just watch a review from someone who knows what they're talking about.
?si=ClHrKi_kZiVW7A_t
It was known as a game with obvious flaws. If someone takes the old game and makes it good, si’m all for it.
This is honestly the kind of game that should be remastered, something that’s stuck on 6th or 7th gen with no easy way to play on newer consoles.
Remasters of 8th gen games are moronic though.
Actually a good game, like Resident evil but with better plot.
The thing and Faculty is Resident evil 4.
Faculty is more about Code Veronica.
And while you wait you guys can play this.
I played this game though I recall not liking it very much. I think the platforming was ass? Which was a problem since this game was honestly an honorary platformer. Maybe I should give it another try I recall I was near the end when I played back in like 2006 or whatever.
I never played the full game but I remember playing it on a demo disc.
Jampack winter 2001
I played the shit out of the Dynasty Warriors demo
Anybody that has 3 numbers in a row is the Thing.
Do not trust that anon.
Sounds like something the thing would say... sus
You're pretty suspicious yourself anon.
Did the take the blood test to make sure you're not the Thing?!
I already took the test, you don't need to worry about me. Stop trying to deflect, I'm onto you.
Oh really?
Where's your proof?!
We're fricking back my thinggers
how did he miss every single shot?
Shooting from a helicopter is hard. Especially for a Norwegian.
he also missed once landed, then shot the guy in the leg, then fricked up his grenade by throwing it behind him
i'm sure he was just manically insane after just going through his own version of the movie but still, pathetic
European.
The real question is why a Norwegian scientist was apparently completely incapable of speaking any English.
Why would he be required to?
He's Norwegian, doing Norwegian research.
what's norwegian research
It's disgusting, you don't want to know.
How should I know i'm not Norwegian.
It's probably not strictly a requirement but I find it highly unlikely that someone in his position would know absolutely no English at all. It's the international language of science and Europe has fairly high rates of English literacy in general, plus he's working in a remote research base where if things go sideways they need to be able to communicate with anyone who they can reach and chances are whoever they can reach will be able to speak English.

That's fair, but in an extremely high stress situation, and an emergency, it seems likely that people would resort to a native language they can better articulate in when trying to communicate, even if the situation doesn't make sense. It probably wasn't the idea behind the scene, but it feels plausible.
Dane cook had a somewhat related joke and it goes something like this "I saw someone in the street that was about to get hit by a vehicle, but I didn't have time to yell "LOOK OUT, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET RUN OVER BY A VEHICLE" so I just yelled "UUUUUUUGH".
It was the 80s, globohomosexual didn't exist yet
That is a good question. They all speak English...
>just a remaster and not full remake
bleh
>That level late into the game with the huge stairway that has multiple parts of unavoidable damage
Remember having to restart the whole game back in the day because I had zero medkits and only saved over a single slot.
Why wouldn't they just make a new game?
I had way too big expectations, gonna see gameplay first to know for sure
I'm honestly surprised that Ganker knows anything about Thing lore. Color me impressed.
Ganker is a heavy The Thing website, bro
Always has been
Ganker is better at discussing tv then Ganker
that game was mid af, no idea why they remaster it
Horror/sci-fi is hot shit if yoy can do it correctly. Should also note that the new Alien film comes out later this summer. My guess is that they want to piggy back off the speculated success of that.
It sold over 1 million units which was a lot back in 2002. It got decent reviews too.
Great movie
>people hate the remake
>When I thought it was a good dead space movie
I remember playing that game as 7 year old, didn't know English so couldn't advance past the beginning, I'd just wander around, the UFO scared me a lot
Just make a new The Thing game you fricking homosexuals
Threadly reminder that the eponymous thing wasn't telepathic or that dangerous
>nothing but prerendered footage
frick off, nightdive
>tfw you find out there's fixed events in the game where your companions turn out to be the Thing even if you do everything perfect
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s exactly how the original played out, and this is merely a remaster, not a remake, soooooo…
>loses his friends and becomes sad
I like saving allied npcs in games. I can understand the design behind it invoking paranoia in the player.
I remember saving every scientist and security guard possible in the office level of half life,I had like 10 people following me by the time I got to the end of the level where you have to climb up the elevator shaft and you're forced to leave them.
It felt like the right thing to do. You're basically a demigod to them so keeping them alive is the least you could do.
I enjoyed the original game but it was objectively mediocre and Nightdive is also a mediocre studio.
If I became a Thing could I hijack their I'm assuming collective consciousness and implant my own ideals?
because that'd be great
Is the 2011 movie even worth watching?
No, they fricked up big time since they were originally going to use practical effects, but for whatever reason they switched to CG.
If you're desperate for modern sci-fi, I guess. It could have been worse, I'll put it like that. It's not as bad as something like Ghostbusters 2016.
>decide to have their own 'blood test' scene
>choose a method that even they acknowledge it's dumb since it's not entirely accurate
>Ghostbusters 2016
The fricked up thing is that it could have worked because they had a solid actors, but the writing, director and the entire marketing campaign of shitting on fans of the originals doomed it beyond the depths of hell.
There's a lot it's missing, but It does a decent enough job showing setting up the Norwegian base as it goes to shit and shows how things like the axe in the door got put there, the guy who cut his wrists, etc. The guy who cut his wrists actually had his scene cut for some reason.
It's a surprise prequel to the original movie and word of god has stated that the protagonist doesn't even live after the ending. It's fun if you absolutely must have more Thing-Stuff after watching the 1982 film but otherwise no.
I liked it more than the original, so yes give a try
