This isnt a very good game but im always for preserving games so good on night dive for getting this done
The Blade Runner game is one of my top ten favorite games of all-time. I am absolutely sold on this. Good thing I didn't jump on the GOG version yet. I still have my discs but it's a nightmare getting them to work in Win10.
I am not shitting on their work, as I said I think they are doing competent work, especially on the technical side (framerates etc.) but for the word "phenomenal" I would expect also bigger updates to assets.
For example I think the RE4:HD project (not a port, I know, so not 100% comparable) is doing a more extensive overhaul than what they did to Turok, which I find disappointing for a commercial product. But you know, that's just my opinion man.
Great news. This must feel so great as one of the original developers.
Yeah I imagine we'll see a bunch of "THIS is the the game you guys were asking for all these years??" threads. But fuck it, it's worth it :b
Also it's a point and click so it's gonna be at least somewhat obtuse

Whawhawha?!?!?
Almost played through all of the game when it first came out but my computer crapped out at the time and I basically gave up on PC gaming.
Got the GOG release for my macbook but haven't bothered to connect it to my TV and set up a wireless mouse/keyboard in order to play.
May have to wait a bit longer to try this version on Switch or maybe PS4 if it's superior (in that case I'll probably get both).

FYI for anyone interested in this as an adventure game: it is super obtuse and probably unfinishable without a guide in hand. It's also an adventure game you can totally die in so save often.
Absolutely loved this game when I was younger. Having said that, this strikes me as a difficult game to remaster? I could be wrong.
Edit: I'm reading online that the original assets may have been lost? How are they going to do a remaster?

Maybe they can make an original Sleepaway Camp game next ;)
I hope they include the non-english dubs. The Italian was especially good, because they went to the lienght of hiring Harrison Ford's and Ritger Hauer's italian voices for the (actually unrelated from the mmovies) characters in the game. It was very atmospheric to hear those voices 15 years after the movie!
Obtuse like deflate the duck floaty and combine with the pliers to get the thingy out of the middle of the waterway?
No, like: "you have to find a character in this megapixellated prerendered photo, how could you not see him?"
I wonder how they'll pull this off. Blade Runner had some CRAZY prerendered scencery. Will they rebuild those backgrounds form the ground up?
I don't know why, but it feels great in a strange way to see old pc games on modern consoles... I'd like to see more of that.
Very recently played the GOG re-release (bless them) but i'm down for another ending. Bring it on!
Yeah, I'm curious about what they'll do here. Either they create some new hi-res voxel models or replace them with polygon ones. I doubt anything can be done with the original models except use them as a base for the animation as the detail just isn't there.
If they keep the characters as-is, they'll stand out
Not true. It's perfectly finishable , especially for those with experience in the genre as it was at the time.
As a 17 yr old without internet who had never played an adventure game (curse of monkey island came a month later) it was a challenge and I reloaded plenty of deaths, save often indeed.
Replacing models with new polygonal ones, certainly would make things a lot easier. (and allow proper perspective as well.)
