Does blood run on this engine? Would love that on switch too.
Blood's problems having nothing to do with support, just licensing. Currently that issue is too complex for us to resolve at this time (the IP and publishing rights are split, which only allowed us to do a PC version).
I actually had an internal version of Blood:FS compiled and running on the Switch. Not... well, mind you, but that was just a flat compile of what was just the PC code with no work done on the AngelScript support, which nowadays we have a native ARM64 interpreter for (which in fact PowerSlave is using now).

Ha, the closest I got to powerslave was via a DOOM mapset called "Epic 2" which used powerslave stuff in it, I'm looking forward to play the actual game soon.

Damn it, approximately 9 hours until it releases on Steam. What am I supposed to do during my workday until then? Work?

Awesome. I only just played the originals last year. Will be interesting to see how they blend the two, and play with modern controls as well.

I love you, Nightdive. This is getting instantly purchased when it goes live in my region.

Reminds me of the shambled mess of IP issues/publishing/ownership rights of No One Lives Forever/No One Lives Forever 2. If there was one game that I'd love to see updated more than anything, it would be that.

But nooooo, no one can get their shit together when it comes to this series and it is a damn shame.

Yes!!! Buying later today on switch!

Edward850 Sorry to use this thread for this question, but why is Forsaken not available in Brazil? Are there plans to make it available one day?

Edit: on consoles, specially Xbox.

Is the SiN port coming to consoles as well? Can you tell us about any other ports on the horizon? I'd kill for Shadow Warrior, Shogo and Quake 2.

Are you sure it isn't? You might want to recheck that. I recently fixed up a lot of our old Xbox app entries, they were missing a lot of entries as they were based on some really old Xbox One store configurations that didn't seem to transition very well. Let me know if it still isn't and I'll investigate.

So we haven't announced platforms for it yet (at least that I'm aware of), so I can't really comment on that officially, but we own the IP so there wouldn't really be anything stopping us from doing console releases that I personally know of. Business dealings aren't my domain however.

Obviously not. :P Unless it's announced, it's not for me to talk about. Unless I was producing an original game (no I'm not presently producing an original game. Maybe one day. :V)

Saturn Exhumed was the first FPS I ever finished, looking forward to picking this up on Steam tonight.

How does the save system work in this? The old console version didn't have any mid level saves. In any case the game should feel easier now as we're not stuck with a limited 2D controller.

Can't wait about that one! Dunno if I should pick it up on XSX or Switch yet, maybe on Switch. Man if I wish that Nightdive could do this type of port to these modern consoles of Dark forces 1& 2 + Misteries of the Sith and Voyager Elite Force. One can dream 🙏

Watching the dev stream and it's gorgeous.

Apparently plays well on Steam Deck too.
