The Thing (2002) never was a very scary video game. Sure, low-detail graphics were far spookier more than 20 years ago, and there are some effective jump scares in it, but by and large, Computer Artworks' adaptation-sequel was goofy above all. Nightdive Studios' The Thing: Remastered hasn't altered that.
]]>Don't worry, your friends and loved ones definitely aren't The Thing, but in the just released remaster of the PS2 classic, anyone could be.
]]>Update: After rumours and teases circuated about a remaster of The Thing by Nightdive Studios, an official reveal trailer has been officially revealed at IGN Live. You can watch the trailer yourself down below.
]]>EA doesn't seem to appreciate Star Wars shooters as much as we'd like it to, making Dark Forces Remaster's release even more timely and necessary. More importantly, it's a very fantastic refresh of an often overlooked piece of FPS history.

]]>If you've been popping your head around the horror space for the last decade you've likely heard something about the System Shock remake. It's been through a long a bumby ride, through Kickstarter, a total restart of development, and Covid-19 delays. After all these hurdles, Shodan is back and – by all accounts – she's taking the horror genre by storm right now.
]]>This is the most exciting, vibrant moment for immersive sims since the golden age of Looking Glass and Ion Storm. Not only are there more indie games about crawling through air vents and reading emails than ever before, the design sensibilities and focus on emergent gameplay is starting to appear in triple-A titles to an extent we haven’t seen for a long time.
]]>It’s difficult to imagine a more daunting proposition for a remake than the original System Shock. It’s arguably the game that truly launched the greatest boom of immersive sims in history – a genre whose fans are notoriously demanding, despite never having really been able to come up with a universally agreed definition of what an 'immersive sim' even is.
]]>In the first interview following last night's breaking news that Atari would be acquiring Nightdive Studios, Nightdive's director of business development sat down and spoke to us about how this will affect the future of the retro-remaster studio. In short, it shouldn't impact the output of the studio at all.

]]>Without System Shock, we wouldn’t have Prey. We wouldn’t have BioShock. We wouldn’t have Dead Space – and, in fact, it’s Dead Space that’s the most notable in this list, because Visceral’s body-horror masterpiece was initially conceived as a System Shock sequel. System Shock, and its direct sequel, defined the horror genre and – to a degree – how we tell stories in games.
