To me, though, it'd seem like a way to net some good PR** by giving away the old version for free. But eh, what does a "mere customer" like me know when compared to the high paid game company execs and such? ;)

(**Plus some of the people who don't want/need the new versions might not buy em just to get the old ones, and some of the ones who buy the game for the new versions might not want the old versions)

And iirc some of em (oddly enough) do several of those approaches(different ones for different games).

It's still available on Steam btw, just saying for anyone who wants to pick up the original version.

By the way, the original version is still available on Steam, just in case anyone is interested.

+1

According to PCGamer the Remaster will be 20 $ with a launch discount of -25%.

$20 for a few tweaks ? I'm starting to hate Nightdive .

Don't buy it then. I'm definitely happy this remaster exists and will get it as soon as it is available.

I own the original game .

me too.

So do I and knowing how terrible the controls are in that version it made my decision to upgrade even more easy.

Here's a graphics comparison video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwUj7i5JVww

The new version wins easily.

Anybody else hates these remasters ?:O
low effort cash grabs from companies who can't produce anything good and only live from past success
like writers sold his work home to a new owner and the new owner just resells the books with fancy new covers
oh and of course censures the parts she doesn't like , because agenda

Nightdive remasters are garbage.

It's here.

But why does Steam continue to sell the old, much cheaper version while GOG has removed it?

You're really really not staying true to your name when you keep removing original "old" titles like that. Sad.


I highly doubt that was the intention for this site in the first place.
