The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to John Carpenter’s genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios – The Thing: Remastered is coming soon on GOG!

You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

Wishlist it now!

J Lo: I remember this from the Spoony episode. Looks like they just up-res'd the textures and improved the lighting.

Atreyu666: I loved that episode :)
Makes me think of what other "Spoony games" we're still missing here. The Ultima series, Wing Commander and Privateer, Phantasmagoria 2 and SWAT 4 are here. Ripper is probably the biggest one missing. There's also Star Trek Borg, but that one at leat we can play online. Other than that... I don't think Microcosm would be much in demand, there were two Knightmare games, though that's kind of tangential, there's Johny Mnemonic I guess... and the rest of the stuff he reviewed I think were all console exclusives. Am I forgetting something?

EDIT: Of course, I forgot Pumpkinhead's Revenge. One of my favorite episodes. But again, probably not something anyone would actually want to play :D

Let's have Sewer Shark, Make my Video, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers here too :)
Oh, and there is Minority Report: Everybody Runs and Hell's Kitchen: The Game!

For a reasonable price, I might actually be curious enough to check Everybody Runs out for myself. Unfortuantely, I'm pretty sure it was consoles only. Unless it gets a remaster that also comes to PC or something like that, we're outta luck.

Yeah, could be that some of the mentioned titles were console-only.

I actually have the ripper, all the game cds and the sleeve they came in. It's somewhere among my piles of junk in storage.

'They Always Run' is a pretty good stand in.

Does anyone have any idea if we'll also get the original alongside the remaster? Not that I don't love the KEX, but I also (sometimes) partake in retro gaming on a retro PC, so it definitely would be a nice to have.
