>release blood remaster>it's broken garbage>never fix it even though you promise to>release a second blood remaster with all the fixes you originally promised>make players pay for it again>release ss2 remaster>unlist original version so players are obligated to buy the remaster>$5 game becomes $30 overnightI will now pirate all of your games
>>724303678I did pirate SS2 remaster and the graphic glitch out and flicker constantly - but only when you move the camera. Idk if the pirate copy is bugged or if Nightdive are beginning to die from success.Also delisting original games on one hand is a dick move but on the other it automatically makes pirating them almost legal, so fuck them.
>>724303739sad but true
Why would anyone buy those "remasters", when nblood is awailable and free and gets you more authentic expirience?
>>724304491nblood is free but the files to run it aren't, and FS comes with OUWBsure yo can pirate it but that applies to almost every fucking game in existence
>>724304738OUWB being the original version of the game + expansion
The System Shock 2 "remaster" barely makes coop better and from what I've read, there are still issues with logic and loading between areas.
The new blood is worth it though cus it's the actual source code not some autistic savants just making it up with reverse engineering.It also has 16 player cross platform multiplayer which will be hilarious with the bros on /vr/. Think of the weekend frag nights. Also it has a mod browser built in. Gyro on switch console. It'll be worth $10 or whatever they're charging.The REAL reason you should pirate their games isn't because they're making good new versions of games it's that the owners are Jews and Stephen kick the CEO said all trump supporters should die. THATS why you pirate their shit.
>>724304892>the CEO said all trump supporters should dieWtf? I'm boughting all their games now
>>724304892doesn't matter, they sold a broken piece of shit and don't even have the courtesy to grandfather in the people that paid for it before the re-remaster was announcedshit company, idgaf about politics
>724304892>on /vr/How is a game with remastered modernized assets "retro"? That's like making a Crash N. Sane Trilogy thread on /vr/.>But Doom has source portsGZDoom was made back in 2005.>>724305135Cringe!
>>724303678>>release blood remaster>>it's broken garbageI hate boomers so much.
>>724305930>>Wasted his life on one of the worst FPSes ever made that isn't Blood 2So I sees this guy, right? And he's on his knees, just going to TOWN on this dudes dingaling like it's a candy cane with the cure for AIDS stuck inside. Up and down, slippin' and slidin'. So I's freak out a little -- I mean it's in the middle of downtown, so I have to say something. So I go:>AY-YO- WHY YOU SUCKIN' SOME DUDES JOHNSON IN BROAD DAY LIGHT!?And you know what this little fagaloon says back to me?>Sucking a cock? I thought I was playing Blood!
>>724305979Funny post, but how did the studio that made FEAR and Condemned start out with a mediocre Doom clone?
>>724303678>it's broken garbageI always see complaints about it but never anything specific and atari is to blame for the lack of patches fixing it and now they want to sell a new version is kinda scummyss2 meh you've had 15 years to buy it for a dollar on saleThe worst thing they have done is the remaster of blade runner, at least they include the original you can play properly with MAME>>724303841that got fixed within a week, piratefags btfo
>>724306198Huwite devs who didn't get stuck in the mud on boring or bad ideas like id. Look at Carmack. He has every right to be creatively lazy, but it really hurt them in the long run.
>>724304892Online in nightdive ports always have such shit netcode, it's fun to play on launch day but the multiplayer always dies off in less than a week (except for quake 1 and 2), but I commend them for at least trying. At least if you have a bro to play with whenever it's easy to jump into and the fact that they have split screen is nice too.
Their System Shock Demaster also fucked up the models
for me it's the $30 DOS remaster nightdive is a joke
>>724306248>it's le atari's fault!!I've yet to see a single person articulate why Atari magically prevents ND from pushing a patch
>>724306507They're need to get off their high horse.But whatever, it'll be 50% off within a year, like Bounty Hunter.
>>724306507they have been getting more expensive since dark forces iirc turok was 15 bucks when that was brand new>>724306569>"The game will not be abandoned. We are just having to return the game to the company that owns it. Atari will relay issues to us, and we'll work with them on new updates going forwards." — Daniel Grayshon, producer at Night Dive Studios
>>724306946right and then they said>...and just fucked off and abandoned the game in spite of players pointing out the issues for years since
>>724306248>>724306946Obsidian devs ended up making patch mods for FNV because Bethesda wouldn't allow them to update it. ND just doesn't care.
>>724303739fpbp, scamdive fans are the worst clique on this board by far
>>724307243ermmmm be grateful chuddy!? nightdive is bringing these classics back to life because there is simply no way to play them on modern systemsbe happy it functions and say "thank you nightdive" when you make your $30 purchase for a 30-year old game
>>724307243And Bethesda forced them to have Preorder dlc despite Josh Sawyer hating it and never having preorder dlc in their games until Starfield. Ignore all the Obsidian games with preorder dlc. That isn't important
>>724307043atari took control and abandoned it not unheard of even troika was prevented from patching bloodlines back in the day because of a clause in the contract only allowing them a certain amount of updates it's retarded but that's how these bloodsucking publishers do business
I liked their hexen heretic releaseBut yeah they are niggers and I dont respect them
>>724307668>I liked their hexen heretic releaseDoesn't have coop saves, which are a big deal for Hexen.
>>724307659okay cool we've justified them abandoning the original blood remasterwhy do people who own it still have to pay for the second remaster? how is $30 for the second remaster justified when fresh supply was $10 on release?
>>724303678>>724303739>>724307359>/v/ bitches about Nightdive while buying 60$ remasters from Nintendo
>>724307870I haven't owned anything nintendo since the wiineck it, retard
>>724307369I'd pay Nightdive $100 just so they can boot up DOSbox for me.
>>724304491If you want to play the games on consoles
>>724303739Implying anyone cared about Strife, Killing Time, Rise of the Triad or Powerslave before the remasters
>>724307870i havent given ninpedo any money in the last 12 years
>>724308140RotT absolutely has long-term fans
>>724308178Yeah because of Civvie and that shitty remake For a long time it didn't even have a decent source port
>>724308272source: your assnot going to bother replying again, hold this last (You)
>>724308140>>724308272>Nightdive defender is an eceleb faggotOf course
>>724308317>>724308369Lmao don't pretend that ROTT was even close to being as popular as the other retro FPS at the time, it was seen as dated and frustrating even back then
>>724308430ok zoomer
>>724303678>release a second blood remaster with all the fixes you originally promised>with all the fixesIt's still a (less) broken inaccurate shit that can't play demos and STILL uses some Fresh Supply code despite them having full access to the original source code. Preservation my ass.
>>724308430You guys say this for every game made before 2006
>>724308369>>724308447You're trying way too hard to fit in
>>724308447>>724308575Name every Rott source port released before 2019
>>724308557>even the discord nutgarglers are let downI can't think of a company that built and dashed good faith as quickly as ND>>724308607you're a retarded, blindly-consooming cheerleader for companies that don't care about you
>>724308140I admit I don't care for the other three but Powerslave was kino and Powerslave EX was already a great remaster.
>>724303678Thanks for nothing Nightdive. The excuse from them was that 'Facebook cancelled it' but it's still false advertising from my perspective. I don't particularly care about what they claim happened in the process but rather the lack of it happening, despite them posting a few videos of it on their twitter account assuring it was really planned for release.. When they advertised this at the time I chose to accept preordering SS1R. Then to later find out it wasn't there when the System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary came around, I had realised I got swindled. What's matters is what they advertised at the time, rather than when they made a post on bluesky and X/Twitter months later silently cancelling it. I have the evidence, it's not just this one webm. I haven't forgotten you assholes.https://x.com/NightdiveStudio/status/1408845175653244928
>>724304738>nblood is free but the files to run it aren'tsure they arehttps://files.catbox.moe/q10xqx.rarenjoy anons
>>724303678>Blood remasterWhy would you even buy remaster for a game that has open source ports?
>>724304892>it's the actual source codeproofs?
>>724308140Powerslave had half a dozen different versions floating around when it was still abandonware you newfaggot
>>724304892>cus it's the actual source codeYou do realize that most code from that era is mostly hacky garbage like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root which was a product of hardware limitations, outdated build systems/compilers and general inferiority of software stack? Modern open source ports are miles ahead in terms of code quality, thanks for the years of development and refactoring. Nightdives ports are just lazy cashgrabs.
>>724307804Trump.
>>724311462ah yes, trump put a bomb in ND's offices and said he'd blow it if they don't price it high enoughof course
>>724311623They just really hate the guy and now the economy is worse thanks to you folks so now you have to pay more, capische?
>>724311753>thanks to you folksI've never voted and I never willkeep doing your good goy us vs. them bidding though
>>724308557>shit that can't play demosSo a free source port like Nblood can play demos accurately and yet their one can't? then what the hell is the point? What exactly is this game doing in which it would be better experienced on their engine?
>>724311462Nightdive made false promises with their System Shock 2 remaster prior to Trump coming into office, I wouldn't say there was a correlation between them breaking all their promises due to a presidential election. They're just scumbags actually and they always were. If their SiN remaster comes out just moderately acceptable all will be forgiven and forgotten and everyone will bury their scummy behaviour once more because at least they didn't stoop to Nu 3D Realms level on Kingpin.
>>724312153You like consuming? You get a Fresh opportunity to consume a shiny new thing, isn't that what you want? All your friends on Steam™ will see how cool you are for buying (playing optional) a cool boomer shooter their favorite youtuber told them about. ALSO you can play it on CONSOLE™© isn't that great everyone love to play on consoles.no, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not being ironic, that's literally why they make them at this point
Wish they released SHadow warrior and dukem nukem 3d.
>>724315161SW desperately needs a proper source port now that GZDoom (and Raze by extension) is kill. But we all know Nightdive is the last ones who will make a good source port.Duke is fine.
>>724303678I won't even pirate "their" games.Fuck those communist faggots.
>>724309485What else was there besides EX?
>>724315161>>724315679What's wrong with SW Classic Redux?
>>724313365>game presevation is le bad
>>724316630None of Nightdive ports except maybe Quakes are demo-compatible. They are not accurate. They have nothing to do with preservation. Picrel is your average Goydive port. Eat shit.
>>724316382The mouse alone being absolute turd shit is enough.
>>724315679VoidSW is a fine source port. Except for the fact that you need to manually add a patch to fix widescreen/ the Katanas sprite to make it scale properly so it's not cut off. You can find this fix on duke4.net forums from Hendricks266. You can probably easily find the missing episodes on the forums too. It's really quite easy to setup. I don't think Nightdive could possibly make something better if people are saying that even this new version of Blood is inaccurate then there's no point in holding off on playing Shadow Warrior for the first time. Just play it now, the experience is fine.
>>724317127I didn't have a problemDuke Megaton Edition had worse controls
>>724317285I know all that. I just want EDuke devs to pull their head out of the ass and backport at least SOME features from EDuke to VoidSW, like HUD scaling or borderless HUD. Or for the love of God at least a proper border for the widescreen HUD would be enough, both ports have some fucking picrel abomination on the sides. I'm not going to play my shooters without a statusbar, they can shove their minimalistic alt HUDs up their ignorant asses.
>>724318269>I love when HUD takes 1/5 of my screen
>>724318376Yes.
>>724318376>>I love when HUD takes 1/5 of my screenhow new are you exactly?
>>724318376>>724320367Isn't it funny how we have gone full circle and games have massive obnoxious HUD taking lot of screen again
Wasn't the first remaster fucked because of licensing problems?
>>724320491the difference is that HUDs used to be elegant and simple but now they're bloated and ugly
>>724320707Wolf 3D and Doom HUDs look like Excel sheets
>>724315161For a girl that smol, those sure are big soft plushy-cushy breasts.
>>724303678>>724303739you can thank atari for that
