The Thing Remastered feature

Nightdive has officially announced The Thing: Remastered


Nightdive has announced that it’s working on a remaster of the 2002 third-person survival horror shooter, The Thing. The Thing: Remastered will feature antialiasing, per-pixel lighting, support for 4K resolutions and up to 144FPS.

In The Thing: Remastered, you will lead your team against terrifying monsters in 20 frightening levels. Players can expect to fight from the scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to gigantic multi-tentacled beasts.

The game will also have an advanced trust/fear interface that will add a new level of interaction. How you influence your team’s psychological state determines whether or not they will co-operate with you.

What’s also interesting here is that the game will offer multiple paths to solve problems that lie ahead and accomplish goals. Oh, and you will be able to use firepower like machine guns, explosives and flamethrowers to torch your enemies.

As said, the remaster will have improved graphics. Players will experience brand new dynamic lighting, specular mapping, shadows and depth of field. In addition, there will be improved 3D models, textures and environments.

Finally, you can expect Quality of Life gameplay enhancements to improve your experience, as well as brand new Achievements.

There is currently no ETA on when The Thing: Remastered will come out. And while there is a trailer on the Steam store page, Nightdive has not uploaded it yet on YouTube. My guess is that the trailer will go live in the next couple of hours. Once that happens, I’ll be sure to update the story with it.

Stay tuned for more!
