It'll be interesting to see how it turned out - the game was/is incredibly ambitious with the randomised elements of the investigation, but technically it was very of its time with the controls and pre-rendered backgrounds.
It's fantastic to see it both get a re-release and now a remaster after years of being stuck in limbo due to rights issues.

Nice, I've been playing a lot of classic adventure games recently so will definitely check it out.
People comparing this to classic point-and-click adventures are a little off the mark, I feel. Sure, it has an interface that might draw such comparisons, but the gameplay is very different. I consider this game to be somewhat of a precursor to the style of game popularized by Quantic Dream and Telltale Games.
It's a brilliant game, too. I think it's the one I have completed the most times out of anything in my collection. Every time I play it, I discover something new. Heck, the final time I played it was so different from the times before that I was utterly blown away. I've seen events happen in this game that are so rare that I can't even find anyone talking about them online.

Really surprised at how low key the release was. From the lack of updates leading up to it, the very short announcement window of release and the very low price.
Maybe Shadowman didn't sell as well as they hoped and so they lowered the price.

Interesting, I didn't realize it had so much replayability and alternate paths. Definitely more interested now!
Picked it up on Xbox, to review for XboxEra... Man, this is one of my favourite games of all time. Looking forward to playing it again!
Ha! Great news. I just watched Blade Runner again a few days ago and was itching for a game in that vein. Then this pops up :)
Dev magic
Uhhh... No. Pricing for various games is on a per publisher/contract basis. Blade Runner and Shadowman are of course not Nightdive IPs.
Oh and incase this thread is wondering, MVG was the main man for this project. He's done some frankly heroic work getting this game running in Kex4, it may not look complicated at first but this was both a full reverse engineering job & a huge technical complication in on the fly streaming of FMV assets, which this game has a lot of, some even running in unison from my understanding. It's a lot of data streaming which we've never had to do before, so he's done wonderous work.

Uhhhh....ok!
I was merely surprised that this is nearly half the price of what Shadowman was which was the last release, especially because I know you did a lot of work getting this port done and it's a much bigger IP than Shadowman is.
I am still surprised at the almost shadow drop of the game though, I have been very much looking forward to it.
Ruh roh, just had a crash back to the Xbox dashboard. The surly cop in the ground floor police station said something, disappeared, and then the game hard crashed. Hopefully just an isolated incident.
Not currently. My understanding is it has a mix of widescreen and non-widescreen scenes, so the game always had to be drawing something to make sure nothing would stick on the sides. I'll make sure the team is aware of this suggestion though.
Not to bad. I managed to do the shooting range without too much issue!
AFAIK no. Frank Klepacki (of Command & Conquer fame) composed this soundtrack, though several of the tracks are remakes of the movie's music that sound so close to the originals that it barely even matters.
Oof, that hard crash... No save. Lost all progress, nothing to load.
Do we have to save manually like the old days?

Yes. This is an old game, and a PC game at that. What did you expect?
I didn't 'expect' anything, but if the game hard crashes a lot, that could get frustrating. Thankfully, just a one-off thus far.
I think they mean the saving, yes it's one of those games where manual saving is expected. Crashing is of course undesirable, the game has a lot of random events and conditions that make each playthrough quite unique, so it seems we've missed a couple of things in that soup unfortunately that we'll need to iron out. Sorry about that.
Certainly wasn't expecting a full on auto save system, my apologies, should have worded it better than that. 👍 And hey, it's a miracle this works considering what you had to try and rebuild. Love having it back!
Finally! Can't wait to buy it. Blade Runner the movie and game impacted my life in different ways!
I'll test it out asap, once it is out on Steam. I'm buying it for my desktop regardless.
Bought. I found the original on disc at a Goodwill almost 10 years ago and only played a few minutes. Loved what I played, not sure why I didn't finish.
I still have a *borrowed* boxed copy of the game; one of the few physical games I've kept around. Funny story - borrowed it from my friend some time after they'd finished with it, back in the day. I play the game, get super-duper into it. Get far enough into it that it asks for Disc 4... and only then do I find out that Disc 4 is missing.
My friend had no idea where it might be (a mystery never solved). Never got to finish the game. Still have aformentioned physical version. Minus Disc 4.
In other words... Immediate purchase!

it will be in a couple hours
and the devs right there
not sure why you'd respond with that but ok
a very helpful contribution
Thanks!
I would respond with that because nobody in this thread can answer you how it runs on a Steam Deck when you asked, because the game is not out yet to be played in a Steam Deck. Very simple.
Great work on the FMV's, truly, and I'm a big fan of your team's output overall, but I was wondering if there was some limitation that kept you all from doing the same work with the in-game visuals/models? They kinda stick out in comparison.
Also, pie in the sky I'm sure, but any progress on NOLF?
