Nightdive are selling physical big box copies of Gunman Chronicles and Space Bunnies Must Die in their shop (as well as IHNM). I guess Space Bunnies is the most recent to appear - https://twitter.com/NightdiveStudio/status/982407487084052480

SCPM: Development on the latest System Shock remaster is now on hiatus for an indefinite period of time:

“As our concept grew and as our team changed, so did the scope of what we were doing and with that the budget for the game,” Kick said. “As the budget grew, we began a long series of conversations with potential publishing partners. The more that we worked on the game, the more that we wanted to do, and the further we got from the original concepts that made System Shock so great.”

Mjauv: ie: the asshats burnt through all the money.
Hope this doesn't hurt their efforts to re-release classics.

I was checking CD Access's stock for Space Bunnies Must Die. A few months ago they had 46 copies in stock, and now they have 2. So, it seems that Night Dive nabbed the titles, and marked up the price 500%. =\

If anyone wants particular out of print games that aren't available digitally yet, do yourselves a favor and check out CD Access before Night Dive "rescues" any more titles.

Bah, I just checked for Pajama Sam 1 and they don't have it in stock there anymore. :-/ Probably not on Nightdive for that though.

Yeah, their selection is still pretty good for collectors, but many titles have long since sold out. =\

Looks like XBox One is getting it first?
Stephen Kick is acting coy on Noclip's Twitter thread on the GOG documentary about releasing No One Lives Forever:

https://twitter.com/noclipvideo/status/1021457309250318338
Well, they mention the game in then documentary, and that they are still working on it. I believe they mentioned they found something after 2 years, and are checking up on it.

"Serious question: Some IP is available for acquisition but the price can be prohibitive - would you consider donating towards helping @NightdiveStudio purchase the IP? We could reward donators with remastered copies of the game and release of source code. Just an idea."

I think this is regarding Interplay titles:

Thanks for the heads-up. Not as interesting as resurrecting long-lost IP, but Nightdive do remasters very well thus far so I'd welcome remasters of old Interplay titles, especially those that don't play well on modern machines right out of the box.

Stephen Kick's Twitter -

"Thinking of starting a @Patreon for @NightdiveStudio It'd allow us to create wrappers for neglected games we can't get the rights to. e.g. Dark Forces - we'd clean it up like our other remasters and distribute the wrapper, but official copy is required in order to run. Thoughts?"
