There's an Xbox leak that it's going to be released on Dec 5. It most certainly is an instant purchase - the game was awesome back in the day, and Nightdive Studios already confirmed that they fixed a bunch of the issues the original game had (e.g. "negatively tested" team members turning into a "thing" despite the negative test).
I hope they fixed the fear system from the original, because all the NPCs who became things were scripted instead of randomized. So an NPC could literally pass a blood test, and then seconds later be scripted to turn into a Thing (see the Wikipedia page for the full story). It was a fantastic game though.
I was wondering the same thing in regards to the infected NPCs. I played this back in 2003 on the OG Xbox but I never finished it. I didn't remember if they were randomized or scripted.
It was very much scripted and geared towards you being alone most of the time in game. I remember reloading and reloading saves just to figure out there's no way to save them
Night Dive is killing it. Would love to see “Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction,” “Mercenaries 2: World in Flames,” and “The Saboteur” remakes/remasters.
@@whitekong316You are aware that Eternal Darkness ran at 60 fps on Gamecube, right? Also, all of Nightdive’s games run at 60 fps on Switch, so an Eternal Darkness remaster would run just fine. The real difficulty would be how they’d modernise the sanity effects.
But is it really... I've absolutely seen more horror movies than your average person but it's not even in my top 10 list. Either way though I'll rewatch it soon to see if that changes.
Night dive remaking this game was genius. This game was an absolute gem of its era. The fact that they recognize that really tells you all you need to know.
Really looking forward to this one. I would love for Nightdive to tackle a remaster of The Suffering even though I still have the original that's playable on my Series X.
I remember picking this game up & not expecting much but had a blast dying over and over lol.. Im really glad for this remastered version for more people to experience.. fun horror game indeed.
why do old games seem so much better and have 'moments' . i still remember in Half-Life when Barney ran in front of me - to shoot 'something' - through the window of a Lab. Now it's Hey I can fly a Dragon and i'm non-binary btw fyi.
Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. Parasite eve two was so ahead of its time. I'm glad they are remastering this game, though, it was ahead of its time as well and such a great choice
Square Enix isn't gonna give Night Drive's right to remake/remaster game easily because they don't have Parasites Eve right that come from original novel anymore.
Since the NPC's wore the wrong jackets in the original, i.e engineer wore medic jacket, the new mode could make them wear the correct jacket so you wouldn't be able to tell if they're human or not
Difficulty levels were added in the end, and there is an easy mode (half damage), as well as settings for auto-aim strength. Difficulty is smoother throughout, there are more health dispensers and save points so you are less likely to get stuck in an unwinnable situation. It's not capped to 144Hz on PC, it'll go as high as the PC can manage.
If this remaster does well there's a possibility they could start doing current gen horror survival games of the thing and capitalise on resident evil, silent hill etc. give me a resident evil type game based on the thing anyday
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 I just saw where it may possibly release Dec 5th. I was like they have a very short window. Tempted to try it I had it on PS2 but kept dying the game was too hard. I heard they fixed that along the infection system
I used to play this game on Xbox original, and I would get stuck and get killed all the time in this game. By the way this game has plenty of jump scares and it caught me off guarded all the time.
Oh my god I forgot this was coming out and I am so happy about this, I don’t have a ps5 and there’s no modern ports to even pc, so now I can finally play the game to one of my favorite movies ever
Just heard a leak from Xbox Blog or something that release date is 12-5-24. We'll see, but im so ready. Just want a disc version. I'll buy it a 2nd time if they drop 1 later.
I was so shocked when i heard about this. One of my favorites that most gamers never played...i owned it on launch day. All i really want is a better control scheme. I would love to see this lead to a new one....always wanted The Thing with best possible graphics. But I'm still so overwhelmingly happy to get this.
I’ve been waiting for this game for ages now. I have og copy and currently replaying that game. Honestly, this has been the most anticipated game for me then any other AAA game.
Missed out on this the first time around (I hadn't even seen the movie back then). The film is now one of my absolute favourites, so I am going to be all over this. I don't suppose there will be a physical release?
I struggled with it as well. Never finished it myself. The Fear System was unreliable and you would test an NPC's blood in which was negative, and then seconds later would morph into The Thing. Needs to be randomized and not scripted. I will do my best to beat it this time.
I will get this, but I also think somebody needs to make a new game based on The Thing as well. One that fully utilizes the potential the original couldn't because of technology. I would also love a remaster of The X-Files Resist or Serve too. I played through that this year after watching the series, & its pretty good I think.
These dudes have to make a remaster for freedom fighters!
Hell to the fuck yeah they do! The nostalgia trip you just sent me on with that name drop. 😢
Fr fr fr that game is top tier
My dude!! Shit was a banger man
Now your bringing back some memories
Love that game
Damn, can we get a "Warriors" and "Scarface" remake please.. 💯
Scarface already had a re make check it out brother
😂 hahahahaha mean while everyone wants Chrono trigger.
@@nicholasb4910 mods on pc or console?
Warriors, both movie and game sucks.
@@Jack-Torrance80 who hurt you 😢?
Perfect game for the winter time
I just started frost punk for the first time 😎
Literally I’m going to be playing this and Christmas massacre all winter
You'll probably laugh... But I played the original version over 20 years ago on my outdoor notebook on Lanzarote island... in summer. 🤣

Omg really? That would suck
That'd be terrifying it was actually random
I was wondering the same thing in regards to the infected NPCs. I played this back in 2003 on the OG Xbox but I never finished it. I didn't remember if they were randomized or scripted.
Yeah I thought the same thing at the time. Was like the only con of the game

Night Dive is killing it. Would love to see “Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction,” “Mercenaries 2: World in Flames,” and “The Saboteur” remakes/remasters.
YES! PLEASE
But it doesn't even look good..
I just really hope they released this in a Physical Edition. I've always wanted to play this game back in the day
Would love a remaster of "Saboteur" by nightdive to be honest.
The Punisher remake please!!!!
Capcom should remake LOST PLANET
Mercenaries remake would be dope.
It'a shame they can't remaster ALL af the games of that era
They’re slowly working on it.
Only if it’s a horror game. Thats their shtick
I wish Nintendo would let them do Eternal Darkness.
@@embracerodusk2537sadly if it happened it would be Nintendo exclusive and run at 14fps. 😢

The Thing: Remastered is seemingly set to release on December 5th, according to a listing on the “Next Week on Xbox” blog post on the Xbox Wire
I hope so!!!
I was 15 when this first released Sat in my bedroom with a ps2 and the o.g xbox good times man
The Art Director Has Confirmed They’ve Revamped The Trust System And Enhanced It Massively And All Bugs Ironed Out.
Thank god! Hopefully no scripted events where your team will turn literally right after taking a negative blood test...
If people aren't aware; The Thing is one of the best horror movies ever made.
Never heard of it, is it like that movie the star wars?
Jurassic Park on steroids@@solo9601
@@solo9601yep but more gore
@decayedparadigm
That's crazy, I've heard the star wars is already pretty gory cause of this light swords they use

They have 28 days left to have it released in 2024. Like they said it would. They've killin' me here. Takin' it down to the wire.
Gun, cold winter, freedom fighters, black, Conflict desert storm, gta liberty city stories and vice city stories. all need a remaster.
Why don't we just... wait here for a little while... see what happens? 😀
I remember picking this game up & not expecting much but had a blast dying over and over lol.. Im really glad for this remastered version for more people to experience.. fun horror game indeed.
Mercenaries world of destruction should be remastered
Number 1 : The Release Date :D
I just read a news item that says it has been leaked and that it will be released this Thursday.
@@Carlosxd126I hope you’re right man cause I wanna fucking play this!
I would like a Alien Trilogy Remaster.
Oh yes Alien Trilogy is my fav game on the old Sega Saturn, a timeless classic.
But See
Here's The Thing...
Macreeeeeady...
"Cheatin bitch" 😂
why do old games seem so much better and have 'moments' . i still remember in Half-Life when Barney ran in front of me - to shoot 'something' - through the window of a Lab. Now it's Hey I can fly a Dragon and i'm non-binary btw fyi.
I would love to see a parasite Eve a parasite Eve 2 remake or remaster
So glad you said it bro....
PE2 was a great game😎. Truly a franchise that deserves a reboot with a capable development team👍
Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. Parasite eve two was so ahead of its time. I'm glad they are remastering this game, though, it was ahead of its time as well and such a great choice
Square Enix isn't gonna give Night Drive's right to remake/remaster game easily because they don't have Parasites Eve right that come from original novel anymore.
Yes yes yes. I still love that game jus for the way it plays. I love the design
Since the NPC's wore the wrong jackets in the original, i.e engineer wore medic jacket, the new mode could make them wear the correct jacket so you wouldn't be able to tell if they're human or not
Just in time. I thought about replaying my ps2 copy.
We also need a jaws unleashed remaster
we want this remaster edition NOW!!!!!
We need a predator concrete jungle remaster

We're not getting out of here alive. Neither is that Thing.
Chipped playstation. Great times.
I remember having to test your guys blood and sometimes they would turn. Scary at the time.

If this remaster does well there's a possibility they could start doing current gen horror survival games of the thing and capitalise on resident evil, silent hill etc. give me a resident evil type game based on the thing anyday
"Faithful restoration" is basically saying the graphics suck
The thing was my favourite survival horror game until dead space came along. Scary immersive survival, top quality game.
Same-then Alien Isolation came along.😮
The trend of remastering 2000s games continues.
Need this game TODAY
We need a remake of this game!
It was a really good game, the thing should of got a remake like resident evil 4 and dead space 1 remake because it just as good.
6:23 I like scaling difficulty especially when it's done right
Where is the release date omg ??? Take my money pre-order asap!
I have trust issues
These dudes should do a remaster of arc fatalis
Thanks for remastering this...I had a blast playing the thing always hoped for a remaster and it's happening, yeahhh! buddy
"coming late 2024." Um tomorrow is December they must be waiting until the very end
Must be somewhere from december 20th to december 31th lol

This should be a full remake not just a HD remaster. Graphics and physics need to be by todays standards otherwise this will be terrible.
I used to play this game on Xbox original, and I would get stuck and get killed all the time in this game. By the way this game has plenty of jump scares and it caught me off guarded all the time.
2 gb of ram haven’t heard numbers that low in ages 😅
I'm so so ready December 5th shadow drop
Damn i never bought this game because of how scary it is.
Il get some courage now and get it....
Oh my god I forgot this was coming out and I am so happy about this, I don’t have a ps5 and there’s no modern ports to even pc, so now I can finally play the game to one of my favorite movies ever
Maybe we'll get a remake after the TV series if the TV series ever happens
Trust is a tough thing to come by these days.
They should also do a Syphon filter series remake!
The Suffering remastered, & also the sequel Ties that Bind. Please lol
1:11 FFAAAAARRRTTT NOOISSE.
Colonel?
Roger that wasn't me.
The Suffering should be next!
I would die if The Suffering & Ties that bind became playable on current gen systems.
Gas!!! This remaster is gonna cook.

Can't believe this is happening I love this game sooo much
Nightdive is amazing! I've bought everything!

How is there still no release date
Imagine if they just made a new game from the ground up with unreal engine 5.
Give me The Suffering 1 & 2, Second Sight, Psi-ops, Robotic Alchemic Drive, Cold Fear, and Spintler Cell spies vs mercs remaster plllllllllease!!
So when is it dropping? On Steam it says "coming soon"...
Yeah, that would have been the info i was looking for, not the bullshit in this video.
I read it was leaked for this to be released Dec 5th!
Needs the Dead Space level quality of remake
Missed out on this the first time around (I hadn't even seen the movie back then). The film is now one of my absolute favourites, so I am going to be all over this. I don't suppose there will be a physical release?
Most likely no, but one can hope.
I found this game too hard to complete back then. Hopefully I can complete it this time
I struggled with it as well. Never finished it myself. The Fear System was unreliable and you would test an NPC's blood in which was negative, and then seconds later would morph into The Thing. Needs to be randomized and not scripted. I will do my best to beat it this time.
Why didn't they just do a remake? 2002 is way too far back and giving this the remake treatment would've actually sold well.
Most likely the cheaper less time consuming option
Yeah or atleast deluxe remaster treatment like dead rising
Release date confirmed by Xbox wire December 5th can't wait !!!!!!!
With all the horror remakes this would have sold well
Is it goin to be physical copy or digital
Digital copy only I believe. Shame.
use a hot needle to test and see if the game isn't assimilated.
Never got to play this. Looking forward to getting the opportunity with the remaster.
I agree freedom fighters was awesome
Manhunt next!
And The Suffering! Love them both.
These guys did amazing in System Shock. I can’t wait to see this.
I loved this game . Can’t wait
Where's the god-damn release dates??? Where's is The Darkness Remastered too?😊
Very difficult game
Switch release is surprising
It’s a ps2 game tho
How they don't have a release date yet. I'm over it. Till y'all have a release I don't wanna hear shit
You forgot about system shock in your list i know its a remake,not a remaster,also one of the greatest games of all time,night dive has been on a roll
Yeah, they should remake System Shock 2 as well 😁
Hey Night Dive Studios, Remake or Remaster COLD FEAR.
If they sre doing the thing remasterrd, than i want a Heart of Darkness Remaster please and thank you
I can’t wait till it comes out! I’ll have to break out my PS2 and play the original now!
I wonder if the infection system will actually work... Or if they just change when you get to a certain point still...
I will get this, but I also think somebody needs to make a new game based on The Thing as well. One that fully utilizes the potential the original couldn't because of technology.
I would also love a remaster of The X-Files Resist or Serve too. I played through that this year after watching the series, & its pretty good I think.
Great another game done. Now where is system shock 2?
This is a must.
One of my favorite horror movies never got a chance to play the PS2 game looking forward to this
I personally believe every horror game should have an Ai director. Making each playthrough unique.
Looking forward to this
