The suffering series to modern consoles nightdive studios
what ive been sayin.
THIS
Fucking PLEEEEEEEEEASE
It's too hard for this soft generation, and nightdive studios probably doesn't wanna hear them b....
@@joetomanek660 oh good lord. Shut up. This is the generation of FromSoftware and the 2D platformer renaissance. Far from soft.
Thank you Nightdive for keeping retro games alive! Nice Stream!
Bring us Scarface..to the modern consoles.... I know probably that must be a hell of challenge for the music licence...but...that game its a hidden gem...
And of course dont forget the suffering saga.
scarface for sure
I just recently played 'The Suffering' for the first time ever on my OG Xbox, and I was amazed at its story and atmosphere. A true Gem 💎
The Suffering Nightdive you guys so got this. Talk to Warner bros they hold the IP and are not doing shit about it.
The Suffering next please!!!!!
Hell yeah!
Remaster The Suffering!
The suffering series could use a remaster and nightdive will make it even better.
Just a wonderful blast from the past, it's fascinating how much you remember from your childhood when replaying these classics. Thank you Nightdive for another wonderful job!
I hope that the trust system has been fully revamped and made to be more like its original unscripted intention where it’s more random if your teammates become infected.
I feel the exact same way, test a partner, he isn't the thing. Walk through a door, he is one. It was so bad but the rest of it was great
I don't think they can; the entire reason this ended up being a thing in the game (lol), is because of level design. I.e. the player has to go into a boss room, or something where the friendly AI aren't able to go (they lack the ability to climb ladders or something), so as a last-minute band-aid fix the devs just made them turn into Things. To "fix" this, Nightdive would have to redesign the levels, get the original VA's back to do new voicelines for when the NPCs reach an area they normally could never reach and appear in cutscenes they never should've been in, they'd have to redo a bunch of mission scripting to account for NPCs surviving longer than they should of, add new animations and NPC behaviors for climbing ladders/ledges to reach areas they normally couldn't, etc.
This would be more suited to a full-blown remake or sequel instead of a mere remaster.
@@fearlesswee5036 makes sense, that's genuinely sad
@@bobpeterson7182I’m happy to report that they did indeed fix it:)
@@fearlesswee5036well they fixed it so yay:) they didn’t redesign the levels but they fixed the scripted infection now it’s just based on contact with the enemy it seems
Please remaster Black (ps2) it would be amazing on kex engine and modern consoles!
Please remaster Deus Ex 1 and the Thief trilogy on all platforms! 🙏
I would love this! 👏👏👏
This Was Amazing.
I Loved The Remaster And I Hope The Thing 2 Happens?
Love You Night-Dive Studios!
I hope The Thing 2 happens as well
@ The Epic Ending To The Thing Game.
Macready Alive Picking Up Blake And Childs Confirmed As To Dying (Froze To Death) But Was Human.
Yeah i want to see the thing 2 happen
Please bring us Alien Trilogy and Alien: Resurrection!
This yesss!!
YESS,THAT WILL BE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
Played about half way through this remaster last night. It really holds up so well, very enjoyable. Thank you Nightdive (I’ll keep name dropping Return to Castle Wolfenstein too 😊)
Ya'll did a fine job.
Thanks Nightdive for removing the scripted squad member changes ! That is HUGE ! You get attached to your squad mates, and it's nice to be able to keep the same team for as long as possible.
Aliens vs Predator next pleaseee
That would be cool, but I fear it won't be available in Australia, just like the thing remastered.
About to boot this up =)))
How about a remaster of Freedom Fighter's ?
I had a friend who showed me this game but I never bothered with getting my own copy for my PC, this was easily one of my quickest purchases I've made along with your other games lol! I love everyone at Nightdive for what you've given us, I've been eternally grateful since the Turok Remaster! If you guys ever remaster G-NOME I'd be stoked! Also if you ever get into movies please demake the CGI in the The Thing 2011 prequel, thanks!
If only they could get the rights to do some SEGA Saturn games that are stuck on that console 🤔
PLEASE, NOW MAKE A REMASTERED OR A REMAKE OF CALL OF CTHULHU DARK CORNERS OF THE EARTH
Let’s see them finish and release the sequel they never got to do. The thing 2 video game
AVP2
Thank you so much for putting the work and dedication towards this remaster! This game was a big part of my childhood
I would like to see obscure 1 and 2, gun , darkwatch , alone in the dark the new nightmare and the psp exclusives batlefront games be remastered.
Deus Ex: 2000?
Make Aliens vs Predator 2010 remaster
It would also be cool if they remastered those old "Plug & Play" games we used to buy at walmart to connect to our TV's via RCA cable chord. Like Star Wars Original Trilogy, Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, ect...
Dark Forces 2 and MOTS, when Nightdive Studios?!?! 🙏🙏🙏💸💸💸
I would also like to see a Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis HD for modern systems!!
Please please please remaster Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight + Mysteries of the Sith expansion!!!
Yes please!! 🙏🙏👏👏👏💸💸
Was about to comment this.. I would love to see a HD version of these great classics!!
The Suffering. Really cool game, could definitely use a remaster from a passionate team!
But I've always wanted to play Deus Ex, and the only ones that are available on console are... not good.
Dude.
The Original Deus Ex Is One Of The Greatest Games Of All Time.
Pray They Remaster It.
The suffering 1 and 2
predator concrete jungle can only hope for remasters
Thank you Nightdrive, doing God's work.
Loved it. Playing again on very hard
So glad they collaborated to make this again!
Very insightful
The Suffering plz 🙏
Wann erscheint das Spiel für die Nintendo Switch in Deutschland??
Es hieß letztens Mal 30.12, also heute, aber es ist immer noch nicht im Store.
So langsam nervt mich das auch.
@@tommyk228 Hoffentlich hat Nightdive nicht mit Zensur oder ähnlichen zu Kämpfen, wie es hier bei uns häufig so gerne der Fall ist.....Wegen Gewaltgrad und Nintendo
@@fall0ut892 Aber das wäre Absurd, wenn man bedenkt das MK11 auch im EShop ist.
@@tommyk228 JETZT ist es verfügbar :-)
Guys, please, PLEASE remaster Turok Evolution! It would be perfect to play while waiting for Turok Origins. Please!!!
Seeing Universal makes me question a Peter Jackson King Kong Remaster
Classic Resident evil 1,2,3 and survivor,The suffering 1 and 2, mace griffin bounty Hunter, freedom fighters and the ps2 fps black also need a remastered version.
Can’t wait for this one to get a physical release. Assuming it’s gonna be limited run based on previous working relationship but wouldn’t be upset if it were super rare.
I wish I had the room on the switch to play now digitally but I’m out of space and I’m not swapping micro sd’s never thought I’d need more than 2 tb with 99% of my games being physical but here we are 🤣
Please for the next remaster: "Dark Corners of the Earth".
Thank you so much for making this game. I will get a few physical copies when they are available. My favorite movie of all time.
Yes! I love that they're bringing some Among Us uncertainty to it.
Hey nightdive any clue which games you plan on remastering next? Perhaps underrated classic ps1 games or games that had great stories but the gameplay wasn't properly utilized ? My personal list for games that would kill in a remaster would be
Rayman 2
Syphon filter
Hunter the reckoning
Spiderman ps1
The suffering
Vexx
Psi ops
And many more but that's a few
I hope we see the thing sequel from John
I am four hours in and absolutely loving this. It has been such a long time since I have been so genuinely excited to get my hands on a game. This has taken me back to my early gaming days. You guys delivered! The textures, the lighting, the gameplay! while all remaining faithfull to the original experience you have still managed to improve upon and integrate a modern approach at the same time, thus elevating the game to new levels. Among a mass of increasingly expensive and bloated modern games often lacking any soul or direction, it appears you guys have really created some....Thing. well done and congratulations to everyone involved. ❤
Please nightdive, do TRESPASSER next!
Nightdive! The GOATS!
It's not available in the Australian eshop. You do know we exist right, it's not a hoax.
Hello Nightdive. When THE THING REMASTERED release worldwide? Because On My Asia Region Still Can't get Access The Game Digital On PlayStation Store
I want to see mod support for this game PLEASE NIGHTDIVE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Physical release of Killing time, PO'ed and The Thing for PS4 , please.🙏 A LOT of people still play PS4.
Please give us The Suffering, Land of The Dead Road to Fiddler's Green & Freedom Fighters 🖤 and maybe Cold Fear but i believed Ubisoft owns it
Can you release Quake Enhanced on android? Not switch, not windows.
P. S my pc is dead, and I want quake on android
Loving the diverse collection of old school games you guy's are remastering at the min please keep doing what you're doing.
May I suggest some games that would be great to see again:
The suffering 1&2
Cold Fear
Obscure
Chase the express
The Punisher
Clocktower Sequels
Haunting ground
Syphon filter
Would love to see a alien/predator game of all like classics like the jurassic park collection
Alien trilogy and resurrection.
Any of these pretty please.
Panzer Dragoon Saga. That is all.
The game is too easy now, I had enough ammo and weapons to conquer a small country through out the entire game.
Are you guys are going to make sequel video game sequels to this?!?!
I think adding path tracing would be a great way to enhance remasters of older games. It would automatically give them that classic CGI look from back in the day.
What is Path Tracing?
@@michael.j.snyder Full Ray Tracing
@@henshin587 What is Full Ray Tracing?
Where's the Motion Capture at?
Where's the Remake?
Call of duty 30 dollar battle pass with worthless skins or this masterpiece. I know what I am choosing
This game sucks. I was hoping for a horror solo style FPS. Instead, you have to manage a team and it's like an old arcade game, where you kill wave after wave until the next level. Then rinse and repeat. Dumb, no thanks.
Different strokes..
I'll admit it's a bit clunky, but if you push through and learn the mechanics and quirks, it's really a good game!
Your loss I guess
@@graphicsgod I almost bought it until I found out more about it. However, as far as old remasters go, I'm looking forward to Soul Reaver. Which I did pre-order.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee
//Your loss I guess//
No, it's actually a gain.
@@XtremeXbox If you say so
Remake Freedom Fighters!
Will we get a physical release for the ps5? am trying to own the game not rent a license
First 2 Bloodrayne games would be a treat. 😎
Space marines 1 remastered, Remaster COD Classic, Finest hour, 2 Big Red One, Medal of Honor collection. This company is babe.
No?
@@dwarfdigger135 yep!
I don't think Nightdive has the ability to touch any of those. Focus Entertainment probably already has a Space Marine 1 remaster in the pipeline while the rest of what you listed would need the approval and cooperation of both Activision and EA in order to make happen and last I checked none of them are interested in re-releasing their old legacy games because it would conflict with whatever they're trying to sell then.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee I guess, only the future will tell.
Don’t nightdive only deal with abandonware usually?
