For the next 24 hours, we will be taking you questions for Nightdive Studios below. Simply comment with your question for the developers below and the N4G Unlocked team will ask them. The full interview will be published to N4G Unlocked.

Love the work Nightdive Studios is doing at modernizing old games like Blood Fresh Supplies
What's the biggest challenge a company like Nightdive Studio faces when they want to remaster cult classics like System Shock 2?

RaidenBlack65d ago

Absolutely love their work! Both their original releases and their remaster works.
Out of all the classic game engines, they've worked on, which engine caused the most head scratches?
We know they'll remaster both NOLFs ... the simple question here is: when?
Also, are they considering remastering Monolith's other hit FP games like Blood II, Condemned and/or especially F.E.A.R 1? As in, are they considering remastering any early LithTech based games?

TheProfessional65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

+1 for Condemened and Fear. Also AVP 1 and 2 or the original Unreal remasters would be incredible! Happy there are some other fans of these classics here.

RaidenBlack65d ago

oh yea!
Unreal 1 & 2 + if possible, maybe atleast UT1 would be awesome!
Dunno if Epic will let them .... but who knows?
There are so many other classics I want them to remaster & preserve ...

RaidenBlack65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

But actually, I left my top one out, only because I want a proper Remake from either id or Machinegames and that's Return to Castle Wolfenstein, (one of the best FPS ever made, & in GmanLives's words : "RTCW is so manly that your body is literally creating more testosterone when you're playing it.")
There are so many other low-key classics as well I want them to remaster & preserve down the line ... like Novalogic's Black Hawk Down has one of the lowest chances ... but if they can + with slightly improved gunplay that'd too sweet!
(and other titles which I am definitely forgetting)
Oops, forgot Soldier of Fortune I & II

Ninver65d ago

Ooh thumbs up for bringing up F.E.A.R 1 we need a remake

RaidenBlack64d ago

Definitely!
And thank the indies, that Trepang2 exists!

Petebloodyonion65d ago

Another one
Can we hope for Blood2 the Chosen remake?

TheProfessional65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Dear Nightdive,
Is there any update on Sin Reloaded? Also are Soldier of Fortune 1&2, Blood 2 The Chosen, Shadows of the Empire or Messiah remasters a possibility? Thank you!

Petebloodyonion65d ago

Played the hell out of the original Sin MP.
Still remember the layout of the Sin city map and CTF bank map.
Use to make the game lag by planting tons of remote mines behind the flag and making them explode as ppl used to jump in the mines while taking the flag.
Good time!

RaidenBlack65d ago

ahh yes ... SOF 1 & 2 ... big fan!

Might as well just cancel it.

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake1d 1h ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne1d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo39m ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie

that merch tho.

ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently

We’re never getting an amazing mainline Pokémon game again are we

phoenixwing2h ago

Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying

ZeekQuattro2h ago

Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣

phoenixwing32m ago

@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them

Inverno24m ago

It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.
