News Comments > Shadow Warrior "Reimagining" Announced
5. Re: Shadow Warrior May 9, 2013, 21:57 A51Abductee
 
The obvious question: what exactly is the point of dredging up an ancient IP, only to "totally reimagine" it? How about showing some innovation and coming up with something fresh. Even Ubi can pull this off (see Blood Dragon - which even itself is a bit of a dredged up derivative nostalgia trip).

Or even better... make an actual and at least mainly faithful sequel to the awesome original. I definitely Wanta some Wang.

Still shows 14h until the Steam unlock for me. No preload, though it's probably a smaller download.

Sold, what an amazing nostalgia trip. Bonus that you get the soundtrack with the Steam preorder.

So glad they got Michael Biehn to do the voice. It's a perfect fit.

This is the same Julian Beeston of Nitzer Ebb? Obviously a talented guy has been very busy - had no idea he had such a prolific career in games/music/film/tv.

Quoted from

irrationalgames.com/insider/pc-specifications-for-bioshock-infinite-announced/

If I have any regrets, it’s that there are always more features that we wanted to add than we had time to implement. For example, some of the most requested PC features these days are in-game V-Sync and FOV adjustment controls. Unfortunately, given our tight sc—wait, never mind. We added those too!

Happily, FOV adjustment is supported this time.

Repost of what I said in yesterdays sale thread:

Green Man Gaming has Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings Expansion Pack (PC Digital Download) for $4.49 - 30% off voucher code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 = $3.14.

Dangit, I shoulda waited. I paid like $6 or $7 on steam a day or two ago.

Thanks for the tip, Dev, worked perfectly for me. At $3.14 this was just too good to pass up. Looking forward to a few more sleep-deprived nights.

I already bought this, so I hope they'll be added. I already redeemed my Steam key, so I hope I get another for these.

if you donated more than the current average - around $5.60 then just click that link you got in your email for the first games. You'll see the extra games there to redeem the steam keys for.

Thanks for the tip. Worked exactly as you described.

Don't bother with the deluxe version. Get the regular one. There is literally nothing in the deluxe version that's worth paying money for.

Creston
Agreed, that $42 coupon deal is sweet.

You can actually buy the Deluxe version as an upgrade from the regular game from Black Lion Trading with gems if you care. Gems can be converted to/from the in-game currency.

Green Man Gaming has some 50% to 75% off sales too with a 25% off coupon. Good deals like this are too hard to let go.

Thanks for the heads up. I just picked up Dishonored for $22.50 USD using that coupon [Steam download key]. The GMG site is crawling right now though... was afraid for a moment that my order wouldn't even go through. Maybe it means that they're getting plenty of sales.

Connect a USB controller to your Android device... problem solved. Android (Tegra2+) GTA3 with the Sixaxis app and a PS3 controller, and the tablet connected to an HDTV screen via HDMI - try it out sometime. It looks and plays better than the original.

This game seems to be worth a look, if only for its unique setting in a ruined Dubai and that its story is based on an abstracted version of Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

Also have to respect that they offered a demo, which I'm leeching now...

Thanks, Rhialto

An interesting video with information directly from the people involved, instead of the seemingly infinite rumor and speculation.

If "Best Audio" includes best music, then Deus Ex: HR / McCann got robbed IMO.

Yep, this.

Hopefully it doesn't turn into a legal quagmire courtesy of EA.

I've played all three Stalker games
Which one of the three do you like the best?

Shadow of Chernobyl, the original and still the best! Relive the glory and play it through with the Complete 2009 mod if you haven't already. All this Stalker talk makes me want to reinstall SoC for another run.

I've played all three Stalker games with their respective Complete mods, and they are truly amazing. Artistpavel did an excellent job on them all, even Clear Sky. I wouldn't even consider playing vanilla without the Complete mods installed.

His site, with the promotional trailers etc. as well:

Anyway, very happy to see that development is continuing. Similar to what the previous comments said, these games are among the best I've played in the last decade.

Mod out that helps a bit with the UI. Basically lets you use your remapped forward back etc to navigate the worldmap and menus, instead of WASD.

Thanks, Mangrove, trying this mod immediately.

Great reviews, though the PC interface issues are troubling. Then again, BT UI mod was one of the first mods released for Oblivion. Guess I should finally start pre-loading it. 9 hours left until release (?)

On a vaguely related note, Beth's Rage is on sale for 33% off on Steam. That was kind of quick.

Probably a result of that backwards date thing the Europeans do. Sometimes they let their produce spoil because they get so confused over which number is the day and which is the month. Oh, those wacky Europeans.

Kind of hard to get 11/11/11 mixed up though.
