The Thing game was stupid as you could run a blood test on a team mate to make sure they were normal, then take two steps past a hard coded level trigger and they would instantly exploded into a tentacle monster.

We really need a Starship Troopers game that's based more on the book rather than the movies, closest we ever got(at least that I played) were the two Section 8 games

Finally got around to the System Shock remake and it's everything I wanted and hoped for, though I've now moved my wants and hopes to a patch that adds a hotkey for vaporising inventory items. It's not my fault if I obsessively pick up every bedpan and skull on the station.

The book was really light on combat and more a soapbox for Heinlein to shout about how he's right about everything, there's maybe one combat sequence with the dropship in&out in a 600 page novel. So yea, 40k took that directly and unabashedly, just go play one of their games. If we want to be picky, maybe we'd find one where they ask you to complete the mission under a timer?

Eh the 40k games go in a different direction than what I'm picturing, for one thing Mobile Infantry are well as the name implies a lot more mobile than Space Marines, not to mention a completely different aesthetic and tone, so you're attempt at making recommendations was a complete miss, also gently caress you for the smarmy response

Strike Force Centauri owns, and I honestly want to see it get the NDS remake treatment more than SS2 because SS2 is a lot more accessible out of the box these days. The closest thing we have to a descendant of it is Tribes Vengeance, which isn't that close.

Ironically, the Tribes games actually work really well as games where you play something akin to Heinlein's mobile infantry.

One of my favorite things on this whole wide world is when I stumble across the inspiration that musicians from my favorite games clearly had while composing. For instance there are clearly two songs from the OG System Shock that are heavily inspired by Head Like a Hole by NiN (Reactor) and Mammagamma by Alan Parsons Project (Research). I was listening to some Gary Numan and sure as poo poo it feels like The Illuminati, the ending theme from Deus Ex, is clearly a mixture of Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine and Dominion Day by Gary Numan. Listen: Deus Ex ending theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8e8FRTi4ho Dominion Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0RyjiWTIis

The problem with remastering multiplayer games is that they need an audience for it to be possible to actually play them. I don't think there's much of an audience for Tribes anymore.

Also you can still play Tribes 1 and 2 perfectly fine. There are free, preconfigured installers and everything. You just have to join an organized game or find the time when a public lobby fills up since like 200 people play them total.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to spiff up the client a bit, but the proper way to handle that is to open source it and let the community take care of it.site posted:i mean, isn't it a bit wonky to say there's no demand for games that currently have no official legal way to purchase. isn't that half the motive for the nd re-releases in the first place Anyone who wants to play Tribes can play it, hell you've been able to do that since the 90s since their copy protection was so weak.

And that's without taking into account that the Night Dive remasters team is already working on, like, three or four games simultaneously. Dance card's a bit full as it is!
