The Thing: Remastered

the entire concept of the game being horror and having the same paranoid feel of the movie is thrown out about 10 minutes in when the mechanics go from important to just about meaningless. The only times i interacted with these mechanics included testing one member of my team for the thing, which revealed him to be the thing, saying "huh, neat" and never touching it again and a team member shooting himself from stress, which again made me go "huh, neat" before forgetting about. The trust mechanic is absolutely pointless and makes any NPCs you need to earn the trust of into trust vending machines, where you give them a few bullets and they trust you until they inevitably die for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason (i lost two because they wouldn't get in an elevator 2 feet in front of them, causing them to be caught in an explosion and die). The thing that the game is named after goes from being an unknown and terrifying threat when you see it in the movie to something to mindlessly click m1 at in the game until it disappears. Never once has the thing been a threat in this game to me. For John Carpenter to call this game canon to the story of the original movie must have taken either a huge paycheck or massive brain damage. It takes everything that the movie had, throws out most of the details, and half-assedly jams a few concepts into a lame excuse for a "game". Also if you screenshare this game through discord, the game will run fine, but anything outside of it will slow to a crawl. I have never seen a game do that before. Oh and also there's a cold mechanic. You die if you're outside for too long. It can be completely ignored as it's not a threat in any way whatsoever, the few times you're in the cold aren't long enough for it to be a threat.

This is how remasters should be done. Upres the graphics but still keeping the original style. Upgrade the lighting and shadows to a more modern standard. Adding little details and call-backs that fans of the series will notice and appreciate. This is obviously a work of passion and it shows. Sure some things are a little janky, especially the combat, but its still fun to play. The biggest issue with the game is the serious lack of music from the film and just any music in general. Some of the themes from the movie would add so much to the atmosphere. But even still, this was a good time and worth a playthrough.

This game is The Thing... I needed (all puns intended)

Classicone.

I had a great time playing this. The AI in your NPC teammates and enemies is quite good. The combat is simple but engaging. It took me a good while to get the hang of swapping out weapons and utility items in combat, but after that I was golden. My only complaint is that there's only really like 4 to 5 hours of game play. It took me 30 hours to finish it because most of it is learning what's ahead by what just killed you and restarting from a previous save point. A bit like XCOM 2 in that respect.

we porzadku, ale nie jest to przezycie na miare shadow mana

The Thing: Remastered is canon & the sequel to Mr. John Carpenter's The Thing film which is a remake of a great classic from the black & white era of television and movies. Treat yourself to some nostalgia!

Che bel gioco, soprattutto se avete visto tutti i film di The Thing. Questo titolo è un sequel UFFICIALE del film del 1982, con tantissime sorprese a livello di storia principale e SOPRATTUTTO una risposta sul finale incerto del film, che sinceramente ho trovato carino, maaaaa l'avrei lasciata molto alla libera interpretazione, questa remastered diventa molto più action rispetto alla bellissima lentezza dei film, mettendoci in mezzo un nemico più governativo e trasformando per la prima volta la cosa, facendola diventare qualcosa di relativamente nuovo e che per la prima volta diventa più un tyrant che un parassita invadente e difficile da trovare. Come per ogni film la cosa è sopravvissuta congelandosi e dando modo dopo tre mesi a dare la possibilità ad una specie di gruppo mercenario di provare a farci qualcosa. Il fattore congelamento e il modo in cui questo parassita si diffonde è così estremamente insidioso che lo rende quasi immortale. Non vedo l'ora che Carpenter faccia uscire il nuovo film. Consiglio
