>endorsed by John Carpenter and is the sequel to The Thing>rivals the movie with its story and attention to detail>fell into obscurityWhat happened?
i dunno man
>>737283459It ain't Fuchs.
I never cared for the movie anyway.
>>737284137It’s a 10/10 mystery/thriller mashed up with a 3/10 gross-out gorefest.
>>737283459The biggest issue is your allies are scripted to turn at certain checkpoints so testing and protecting them is meaningless.
>>737284137>>737284221Bait used to be believable
>>737283459Is the remaster good? I don't think I've ever heard a single good thing said about the original, ever.
>>737284393The original is great. For some reason the Xbox ver has more detail then the windows release. The remastered improved the visuals but it looks kinda ass. I would stick with the Xbox ver.
>>737284393The remake apparently fixed the "allies are scripted to get infected" thing so there's that.
>>737283459>AI slop in the background
junction boxes
>>737283459Spoony and Linkara
>>737283459Ok any mention of gameplay?
>>737283760Mac wants a WHAT?!
>>737283459Because unlike Ghostbusters, nobody ever got done watching The Thing and went "you know, I want more of exactly this just as a video game."
>>737283459It's not that much fun to play.
>>737283459A squad based tactical shooter in early 2000!s OG XBOX aesthetic just wasn’t what people wanted out of a Thing sequel. Wrong genre, wrong time period, wrong audience to appeal to. It needed to be a genuine survival horror experience.
>>737283459>endorsed by John CarpenterHe probably never played anything deeper than like Commodore games and thought this Thing game looks good enough.>What happened It was a good game but there was nothing crazy about it. Also the original was buggy and very hard at the end as I heard.
>>737283459A shit game based on a shit movie.I have no clue why you're confused.
>>737293141Carpenter actually plays a decent handful of games, even into the modern era. Says he enjoys it more than film making
>>737283459>has zero music during gameplay (you know, the thing John Carpenters movies are famous for), resulting in a non existent atmospherehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXWDGrnPbZc&https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZSuWuT1cTA
>>737284327lol
>>737293278I only ever had the midi version of this. Perfect for that simple type of soundtrack.
>>737283459>endorsed by John CarpenterIt sounds good on paper. I doubt he ever played the game.
>>737283459Amongus
>>737293278I always thought the track from Lara Croft: GoL would be good for a sequel end boss in a game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQGMUR1_9Ps
>>737287619Thats what he said now MOVE!
>>737283459>canonSo, who was Das Ding at the end of the original movie?
>>737283459the gameplay ain't great
>>737294743He's literally in the game and voice acts a character.
>>737295125Carpenter gives a different answer every time he's asked, so at this point I believe not even he knows.
>rivals the movie with its story and attention to detail
>>737295806And what does that prove? You know how many VAs never watch the shows they're in?
You guys are all just shitposting right? You gotta be. The game is total ass shovelware and john carpenter agrees to everything as long as you hand him a bag with a dollar sign on it filled with bills
Bump
Where did everyone go?
>>737299763Bingo.
>>737283459It's an ok 6 hour game for a single playthrough but it has zero lasting impact
>>737283459It's a 6/10 game
>>737299907Shut up leon
STILL can't believe that such a great movie got only one video game and it released decades later. Such a shame that the sequel was cancelled because the artwork looked promising.There's untapped potential. Just imitate Resident Evil if you must.
>>737302370>that such a great movieIt's a 7/10 movie
>>737302370to be fair there are countless Thing inspired custom maps/modes out there. my first exposure to the franchise altogether was a starcraft UMS map
>>737296609John Carpenter wants his cash, his weed, his COD and his synthesiser, and I don't blame him.
>>737293278But credits song was a bangerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9M5CDwPtcY
>>737302432The movie is still discussed today with many different theories floating around. Great atmosphere, well shot, the cast and crew cared about it too.
>>737283459Is this like amogus?
>>737302693>The movie is still discussed todayAbsolutely every movie can be discussed if you create a thread about it
>>737302370>such a great movie got only one video gameDude, Ghosts of Mars doesn't have any games at all, which is just a crime, considering how awesome the movie is.
>>737302914>starring Ice Cube
>>737302914>considering how awesome the movie is.Anon stop sucking on that galaxy gas and come down to reality, GOM suuuucks, flashbacks in flashbacks, filming in quarries, boring action, all with a Jason that's not ready to let his hair go.
>>737302661Agreed
>>737302648Yeah iirc he hates hollywood
>>737293208I liked his review of the Nintendo Labo.
>>737283459>endorsed by carpenterIve heard that carpenter doesnt really give a shit about whoring out his IPs as long as he gets paid for it.The specific claim I was told was. That he said "whenever someone wants to do a sequel I just hold out my hand and wait for the money".
>>737303057>Jason that's not ready to let his hair go.Realistically speaking, no one is ever ready for this.
The prequel was such a Hollywood-by-the-numbers movie with shallow characters that, even if they kept the practical effects, it wouldn't be good.
>>737303596Unless you got a nice head.I've still got a full-grown head of hair but when covid hit and I didn't want to look like a hippy, I shaved it all off.I looked much nicer, who knows, maybe you might look good being bald.
>>737283459Didn't the remaster get like a trans flag put into it somewhere?
>>737304072Yeah, on MacReady's jacket at the beginning of the game.
>>737284137best horror movie ever.
>>737304072No, that was just the emblem of the thing's homeworld.
>>737302693I like the 'recent' theory mcready is the thinghttps://youtu.be/7IsyoWKcc4w?t=371
It got stuck in between the transition from ps2 era graphics to the better 360For a game like The Thing you want Dead Space style detail, basically they have to make a new one or remake it
>>737304238That's so cool!
>>737304832>For a game like The Thing you want Dead Space style detail,But why? The game takes place in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing but snow and three houses all around.
>>737293141
>>737306002[Applause]
>>737283459>rivals the movie with its story>it's just "Cigarette Smoking Man wants to weaponize The Thing" Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Just littered with narrative twists.
>>737283459>endorsed by John Carpenteri mean he's not biting that hand because it feeds him
>>737295009How long were you alone with that dog?
>OH YEAH? FUCK YOU TOO!
>let's just wait and see what happensWhat a cop out.
>>737308876A'LL KEEL YEW
>>737296525When it comes to Carpenter, that's saying something since most of his 'involvement' with projects related to his old movies is just signing agreements.
>>737302914>what is DOOM?seriously this is the doom movie unlike the dwaynetty slop
>>737283459>rivals the movie with its story and attention to detaillolno
Only good thing about Thing prequel is Ramona Flowers. She looks like she has 20% downs syndrome though.
>>737312841Still waiting on that CGI-less cut.
>plays with protagonist agency in film/literature 13 years before Bioshock did so with video game protagonist agencyunironically bravo
