>"Alright, time to release my new game on Stea-">*gets absolutely shit on by asset flip garbage and porn*
>>737026765fpbpHope nightshit goes out of business too.
>>737026707That's because you can play your old games on PC, making their shit completely redundant. Their 'remasters' are console trash.
>>737028136Quake 2 remaster adds among other things-new campaign-new enemy attacks-gyro aiming (this shit is half the fun)Its more than a simple remaster. You cant get this through modding
>>737026707>look up studio>it's literally just remastersI respect the work but a lot of these are probably still playable on PC without their help. Looking at the Blood: Refreshed Supply page there are even a load of negative reviews pissed that Atari took down the old version so they could upcharge for the new one. It's not exactly an impressive catalog, all told.
>>737026707only consoletards will slurp up 30 dollar "remasters" of 30 year old games. the system shock 2 shit they had the audacity to pull is insane
>dev tries to sell the same game for third time>op is still a schizo ritual poster
>>737028412Remasters that usually have an added feature or content not found in originals.
>>737028298Yes you can. The only worthwhile they added is the new maps but you can port it in any source portThe only FPS remaster nightdive ever did was that was brand new is dark triad. and that's ONLY because nobody ever made a good source port fo them. Dark forces? Force engine, Doom? Take your fucking pick man. etc etc
>>737026707"devs"
Someone explain why I should be raging and hateful and shrieking about these people.
>>737028690The CEO is a lefty and talked shit about trump once. That's it. That's literally the only reason why is seething over nightdive years later.
>>737028539Look, man. There are not a lot of people looking for these titles in the current day and most of the people who are nostalgic for them probably already have the damn game. Adding new stuff to a game I like can be cool but I'm not going to shell out $30 for a slightly edited Star Wars Doom clone (especially not with that funky tweening in the cutscenes, wtf). The audience for these things are going to be pretty limited.
>>737028739No wonder /v/irgins are insane about them.
>>737028434This. Only consolefags buy their games
>>737028739more than one person ITT has cited them doing remasters at a much higher price point that are just texture mods and the originals being delisted
>JewdiveLol faggots. They have the nerve to charge more re-re-mastering blood again. And it's still busted.Consoletards are cattle.
>>737028412The entire point of these remasters is they're easily accessible. For most people unless it's "click icon = game starts" they're already confused. Also, console audiences.
>>737028858bad remasters hardly necessitate the level of retardation over it.
>>737026707fuck nightdive
>>737028958Nah, they're kikes who release nothing but console shit. Your devs have no right to whine about PC sales.
>>737026707Steamies are just too smart to buy Nightdive Studios' lazy repackagings of games that have existed for 20 years.
>>737028787>>737028589>console developer>pc players not audience>pc players angry at dev and thier defense is confirming that they are not the audience...i know /v/ is a pc board and it can seem the world revolves around pc
>>737026765Lol did they?What faggots
>>737026765This. We had to put a blockade on Nigdie Studios.
Yeah only retards disagree, PC is for the poors
>>737029071I know reading is difficult for you, as a Redditor, but at least try to rub your two brain cells together and re-read the message in OP's image.
>>737028539As if some shitty, ill fitting addition justifies nuking the original. Grow a pair, you fucking cuck
>>737028298Quake 2's update was free. Blood was sold on Steam three times.
>>737026707It is a free market. Either they failed to properly advertise to their expected consumer base, their valuation of their product didn't match the expectation of said consumer base, or the quality of the product didn't match the expectation of said consumer base, or a combination of the 3.
>>737028690They're a lazy remaster mill that buys up IPs to shit out lazy rereleases and nuke the ability to buy the originals.
I don't dislike nightdive but at the same time a lot of this is self inflected. They gotta stop delisting stuff and charging more for shit people already fucking bought They pride themselves on selling remasters but the moment some M2 autistic level publisher starts tackling western PC games they're fucking done for unless they start to change.
>>737028958If they're jacking up the price and destroying the originals, the irr is justified.
>>737029197Forgot pic. Most consumers don't buy the same game on the same platform twice, let alone thrice, especially for a game as old as this.
>>737026707They overprice their stuff desu
>>737026707They shouldn’t remove older versions of games that cost 10 bucks and replace them with versions with stolen texture mods and models (that look worse, by the way) and charge fucking 30 bucks.>>737026765This is just a bonus.
>>737028739The CEO sounds like a total retard. People are tired of the lies and attacks against Trump.
>>737026707>Another day of OP being upset at a game storeDo you really find this entertaining or just autistic?
>>737029304I'm seeing double over here: THREE shitty games!
>>737029312$30 for a console physical isnt bad. This doesnt translate to the world of $5 steam digital license sales and they shouldnt have to lower price due to cucked platform expectations
>>737028739He demanded that a company be boycotted for supporting trump. He has no room to complain as whats good for the goose is good for the gander
>>737029434>physicalThey don't even make physical unless you outsourcing to limited run who are just as shit and scummy as nightdive
>>737026707I bought blood refreshed supply, system shock, and quake 1/2 on switch. Steamies would rather pirate games and cry about ai slop making their precious PC parts expensive. Picrel is me enjoying my new watch in my newly acquired boat. I don't have time for PC nonsense so I buy switch consoles whenever I go on a trip.
>>737029369He'll survive, he's a big boy who rules the planet.
>>737029517At the end of the day they get a physical copy in my hands. Dont care whos selling it. Only reason to complain about LRGs is if you resell. I dont do that and it doesnt constitute majority of buyers. This 'scummy' shit was just the only thing jilted digitalfags could latch onto and disparage.
>Edward
>>737029654Enjoy your shitty discs that can't even play on real hardware I guess.
>>737029705Yeah thats the other thing digifags complain about. I did the math, games with major errors account for about 1% of their releases. Not perfect sure. Still great track record. They have sent people fixed discs/carts for certain botched releases as well.
>>737026707>release new gameThey're not even a development studio outside of the SS1 remake. Wasn't exactly their source material either but they changed it up enough to constitute new old game i suppose. What they admitted is that they're basically a console porting company. Which is amusing because i assumed that was always the case.But i hope people stop listening to Stephen Kicks misdirection on issues whenever they release a flawed port that its all because of Atari. Civvie11 and gmanlives need to be shut down for their shilling efforts and anyone on their pay role. Tacitly admitting to not caring about PC releases is all i need to see. I'm still annoyed to see them falsely advertising things like an included VR port for System Shock 2 to ever give Stephen the benefit of the doubt.
>>737029434>30$Never pay more than 20$ for a game.>>737029654>Physical somehow being better than digital files that you can freely copy, back up and modify, especially when paired with a console acting as DRMIt's still all cheapshit CDs at the end of the day, these were the exact reason that games became cheap to make, these aren't some kind of luxury product.
>new game>look inside>3rd re-release of a 1997 game
>>737029823I don't why you're defending a company that's fucked over customers every single time but you're just an LGR employee. Either that are you're a jap. they always defend big corp.
>>737028298except quake 2 is a shit game, why would i want to play it?
>>737029831>Civvie11Civvie is a faggot but he's literally the only big jewtuber to ever call out nightdive for the shit they pulled. Even when fresh supply was released he called it an underbaked release even now he's still calling them out for overpricing shit
>>737029881Explain how they fucked consumers who are not turning a profit reselling? At worst is they release a better version of an existing release like Doom 1+2 after selling a collection wth Doom1-3
>>737026707It's not my fault I've been able to easily pirate the GoG version of their ports. The one time I did buy one for real was Blood Fresh Supply, so you know exactly why I won't be doing that again.
>>737026707I don't find their remasters all that appealing
>>737029931>Even when fresh supply was released he called it an underbaked releaseWhat about this specific release? I'm aware he didn't give them a pass one on Flesh Supply despite Nightdive were shameless enough to quote his videos in an achievement. But he shilled them at other times. IE. Rise of the TriadYou don't know if he received some promotional deal or not. Youtubers can get promo deals and are allowed to be negative too. Civvie inhabits a specific niche space of retro gaming and current day indie gaming and therefore he is ripe for behind the scenes email exchanges and monetary kickbacks.I suspect the same thing happens with him as it does with Gmanlives.
>>737026765Guess I'll be buying a copy.
>>737026765What?
>>737026707Are you posting a phone? Or some other non pc piece of niggertech?
>>737029851PCfags stopped supporting discs around 20 years ago. Yet your opinion on physical media is relevant after 20 years of separation later?This is like asking a tranny with his cocked removed for 20years, his take on how good maturbating his cock feels
>>737029556That's a pretty small boat, fatty. Hope you didn't pay a lot for it.
>Founded your company specially to find and sell System shock 2 specially because IP trolls had it and you wanted to see it be sold officially. >Remove OG SS2 from stores Actually diabolical.
>>737030337it's moderately small but again, I leave it at the shore and pick another one when I'm done with my trip.
>>737030341Even nu3D Realms kept the original Kingpin Life of Crime up. Despite destroying the remaster so hard and now I'm pretty sure the old one is the first thing that comes up in steam search instead of theirs.
>>737030331>20 years agoProbably closer to a decade ago than 2 decades ago, Steam didn't take off for everything immediately until sometime in the 2010s.Discs didn't stop existing and PCs still support CD/DVD/BR players/burners.Can't say I miss all the hoops that insecure 2000s publishers wanted you to jump through just because they were scared of the scary pirates who would steal their cars, like codes in manuals/box stickers, DRM, individual company accounts, limited installs and needing the disc in the drive to start the game.Nowadays you can just get a digital game that has zero DRM and doesn't treat you like a criminal.
>>737029851Your referencing Monkey Island 1 (1990) with that $20 quote? You just parrot old remarks without really understanding anything uh?
>>737030810Reminder whole ass DLCs and even games never came to PC just because of how much publishers hated pirates. Profits on Steam were too insane to pass up though, even if some games will still lag in sales here and there.
>>737030810So the word of a tranny with 10years cocked chopped off vs 20years is acceptable when the topic relates to having your cock attached?
>>737030828Game prices did not increase by 150% since 1990.
>>737030208who're you fooling you won't buy shit, you'll go make a thread on gamingcirclejerk and seethe about how such a based dev isn't getting money.
>>737026765>shouldn't have wished death on trump.
>>737030810Region locking disc drives was also some major bullshit. Especially when you could change the region for your drive but it was artificially limited to X number of times. Which from memory was done by manufacturers at the behest of the big media companies.
>>737031132Anyone serious about imported dvds would have a region free player or pc ripping software that bypasses region
>>737026707It looks the only thing they make is recycleslopNot surprised they can't sell to a market compromised of an older audience
>>737030828>You just parrot old remarks without really understanding anything uh?He says, parroting AI.Games aren't affected by inflation, they're an immaterial good provided by a cheap service that is capable of reaching a very large audience (much larger than the audience in the 90s). The cost to produce a game can be scaled arbitrarily from one guy working in a Polish garage to a large AAA publisher setting money on fire rather than using it to develop a game, so its not like cost of living has actually affected development costs unless you need to somehow bankroll thousands of Commiefornians.>>737030910Yes, publishers were literally insane.
>>737031210Except that anyone not serious about it was stuck getting fucked by that bullshit for the sake of maybe a single disc. For no good reason.
>>737030810It's crazy how scare publishers were of pirates back in the 2000s. I know we have shit like denvo but back then you they would pull shit like hiding the cd registration keys in the case or some shit. So even if someone dumped it if it wasn't cracked or you had a key list you were SOLd.
>>737031395CD-Keys were fine for the most part. And made sense insofar as a reasonable measure. The diabolical stuff came later. Few seem to remember how close we came to music CDs getting completely fucked by DRM.
>>737030331>PCfags stopped supporting discs around 20 years agoDiscs were going to become irrelevant considering we're loading stuff of NVMEs nowadays. The less layers of abstraction the faster the load times.I'm not against the idea of discs existing for say like those smaller indie titles but for any major game release this was going to disappear regardless. Especially because devs are also bad at optimizing storage capacity nowadays that even blurays struggle to put the full thing on there.
>>737029917Not the point. But (you) knew that and just wanted to bitch.
>>737031946Shit game. Deal with it
Quake II is actually a lot more fun with the changes they made to hard difficulties and ai
>>737026707Womp womp.Don't put out garbage then, leftroons.
>>737026765>IT'S OKAY WHEN *WE* DO IT, CHUD!!Yes, NightDive CEO Stephen Kick actually got upset that someone said, "Hey, let's NOT murder each other." Lmao
>>737032193God damn that is fucking scummy
>>737026707
>>737026707what are the chances these guys will ever remaster the first two thief games? playing those on switch would be comfy af ngl.
>>737030910I think the lack of extra DLC on dead space 2 was publisher retaliation after being forced to give all the DLC packaged in the game away officially. Only took a simple edit to "unlock" DLC in that.
>>737032394? You can't play Severed on PC.
>>737032193Context. Blade runner was originally made by westwood they infamously lost the original source code (westwood devs have admitted it many times in the past) that means the scummVM guys had to do the hard work of reverse engineering the entire game from scratch. And nightdive shit all over them and then pulled the small indie dev card
>>737028958Just about any Bluepoint thread made in the last decade is like 5x as bad
let them buy dead space ip from the kikerats at EA so they can release ds1/2/3, ds Wii, ds the mobile game reworked, and all the movies in one collection on switch. Make Mario a special infected for that edition. Let's call it the unalived space collection.
>>737026765EDIT: wow my post really blow up.
I'm just here to say that if a console is your primary platform to play vidya - your opinion (on everything) goes straight into the fucking landfill
>>737026765Funny because death wish just got fully released for blood. The secret level where you defend the strait from hordes of butchers was a little on the nose.
Such a giga retarded bad faith argument.The games were always readily available on pc and majority of the players that would play it already have. A remaster of a game primarily exclusive to pc is and always has been to target console players. Of fucking course theyd buy it.
>>737031121am I supposed to know the context of this image of two dysgenic individuals?
>>737032725You can always count on a leftist to just outright lie.
>>737032731You're not supposed to know context of anything retard they're both ugly that means they're bad.Keep the fuck up unc.
>>737032664Yeah because using an branch of mass entertainment taken over by the retarded mass as an a testing tool to qualify if the people gravitating around it are worth anything or not is sane and logical. Modern pc niggers accepting digital, online only and ai support scanning everything on their shitbox are so part of the cultured elite lol.
>>737032793One of them is a woman so that makes her more bad.
>>737029205>failed to properly advertiseThis. If it weren't for certain interest-based YouTube channels (Digital Foundry, Modern Vintage Gamer, etc.) or people talking about it here, I wouldn't even know about Nightdive Studios at all.
>>737032797why the fuck are my a turning into an I swear my post wasn't like that and it's not autocorrect An jew did this somehow
>>737032820get out normie
>>737032725How is what he said bad faith? He's just stating that most of their sales are on console.
>>737032890Ok you are right, i just dont like the smug attitude
>>737026765Based?Too bad that kids aim was off. Would have saved us a lot of trouble going on right now as well as send a jew cum guzzling child rapist to hell.
>>737026707Everything is moneymoneymoneymoney nowadays, nobody does shit for the love of the game anymore
>>737026707I'm sure if I looked up whatever game he's talking about it would just not be worth buying. But a good morning sir to you anyway.
>>737032249>I support Trump
>>737026707Capcom's said 50% of their sales are on PC now and they expect it to increase
>>737026707>Dev that specializes in trashmasters complains about asset flippersThe crabs at the bottom of the bucket are killing each other
>>737026707>only consoleniggers are retarded enough to buy remakesLMAO
The funny part is him dunking on consolefags and he proberly didn't even realize it.
>>737033029>Palestineare niggas still on that shit? I thought the jews were genociding them, what the fuck is taking so long?
These guys are just glorified modders and have that same overinflated sense of self worth and subconscious sense of inferiority since all they do its touch up things people have already made and have never made anything of note themselves.
>>737033213The forced masturbation machines have a lot of electrical components that can't be imported from Taiwan with the strait in this situation.
>>737029148you are comparing GTAO/fornite/cod bucks buy in ps vs games sold on steam
>>737026707WAAAAAAA WHY CANT I SELL MY 30 YEAR OLD GAME FOR 30 BUCKS!!1
>>737033413west ((((((bank))))))
>>737033467
>>737026707>pay us $20 for Blood: Fresh Supply>wtf, this shit is so buggy and broken>pay us $30 for a patch
>>737026707yeah im broke, so what?Make smaller cheaper games and maybe I'll buy them. I only really play indie these days and I don't feel as if I'm missing out. Also I find the more I get interested in computers, the more it replaces my interest in games. I think maybe it was never games themselves that were enjoyable to me but rather software itself. Software is fun.
As shitty as a company Nightdive may be.I think some people don't realize how good they've had it compared to the worst remasters out there and even some of the complaining about Aspyr looks overblown compared to this hackjobbery. I'm still angry that Commandos 2 remaster was so butchered that you're better off playing the original. And to get the original running on modern HD resolutions you need to buy a mod behind a paywall for the HD project, it does a few more things as to why they justified putting it behind a paywall but it's still an already absurd thing about playing an old game.Theres always the worst case scenario where the legacy was pissed on in the official capacity. Stained and will completely remove its ability to reach younger and newer audiences. Thats what happened with the official HD retail version of this. If you need to see the worst then this might be the biggest insult ever conceived and thats not just because of censorship. Its inferior because all sorts of bugs that the old game never had.
>>737033004>kids aim was offIt was a fake assassination attempt to bolster Trump's popularity.
>>737037289christ you gave me pstd because I remember how much of a botched job the commando remasters are
>>737029216>>737028136Their original games still exist on the remasters, additionally the original source ports don't function on modern hardware without mods from patchers>>737029917quake 2 is great, i really loved how gore wasnt gimmicky. it was necessary to gib and gun down every enemy entirely
>>737026765>Nightdive are anti-pedoBased, i'll be buying a copy.
>>737029304this shit pissed me off to no end
>>737026765Wow so they're anti pedo anti jewish anti ICE anti white supremacist trump haters. That's based.
>>737029556oh my fkin god, this is the first time I see the rest of this photo. it was always just the crop of the watch hamfist. lmao. clearly the rest matches
>>737029831>SS1 remakethe one time they tried to bite more and was clearly too much to chew. AND it nearly tanked the company. AND it took ten years. AND several project restarts. AND needed serious backer backlash (or two) to keep them on right path
>>737030341og vision ppl are probably long gone
>>737037289Sorry to correct myself you can still only play the original at 1080p. Someone just made a hd remaster mod that plays well with 16:9 resolutions. Its basically the best you can do with it without having any of the original code. It's not bugged like the new remasters though. Thats the appeal of that HD mod instead. The downside is you only get 1080p resolution whilst newer remasters support 4k and higher. But its broken so it doesn't matter anyway.
atleast they dont fuck up their games with updates like the recent tomb raider 1-3 remake
>>737026765I, for one, support our troops invading Iran!
>>737026707What new game? They're remaster slop peddlers.
>>737026707Steam hardware survey says it all. PC is the console of choice for brown third worlders.
>>737029304prime reason why piracy is ethical and even mandatory
>>737026707Edward is a useless, retarded Troonworld faggot who acts as a company spokesman and is protected by a horde of troon admins. He gives out false information when it comes to Zdoom related coding questions to fuck over any ambitious modders. He's a walking talking tumor.
>>737032890He is saying that the majority of sales in general are on consoles, you retard. >>737032985Don't just agree with someone because he says you're wrong. Unless it's me.
