Nightdive Studios Delays Its Enhanced Edition Of Blade Runner

It sounds like a massive undertaking and anyone would be utterly unreasonable to hold them to a release date. Hope it's not the end of the line with it and we see it someday

One of my favorite adventure games next to Grim Fandango and Monkey. Got me so hooked on the world that I read the PKD novel because of it.

It’s not really their fault the source code went AWOL, this will be a massive undertaking trying to reverse-engineer it. Really hope it turns out well.

Hope it’s not delayed indefinitely. Really wanted to play this and explore its rich story and stunning world.

I hope Nightdive bring System Shock and Forsaken to Switch, I'd love to play them. Just read that Strife :Veteran Edition is coming next week though. I'd never heard of it before but it looks pretty good. Anyone played the original?

Btw, I hope they’ll bring System Shock to Switch. I know it’s a real classic and that it has a setting right up my alley, but I still haven’t gotten around to playing it.

I think it's perfectly fair to wait on a remaster that, let's be honest, no one ever thought would see the light of day because of the very same roadblocks the team is hitting now. I'm rooting for them.

I must admit I don't really know what System Shock is about. I know it's a classic and I think it's in first person view. But is it a shooter or a Fallout type RPG or something (probably not of the same scope as Fallout ik).

But what I do know is that I enjoyed my 30 hours of Turok on Switch (the first one, never really liked the second) and that I'm really looking forward to replaying Shadow Man next year.

It’s funny, I’m certain I remember back in the day reading an interview with the developers and they were boasting their voxels would ensure the game could scale up to any resolution over the years and it would just look better and better. I’m guessing their ambition exceeded what they could eventually achieve.

Oh crumbs. I hope we actually SEE the game now. Don't worry about the release date

I was hoping Turok 3 could have been their next one

Are they still doing shadow man?

@OorWullie I've never heard of any of those titles, but anything good and revamped will be new to me.

@shgamer It's a first person action RPG. I haven't played it either but just searched for similar games and got Bioshock, Dues Ex, Dishonored, Ultima....

@Obi-Juan Have you played Doom 64 or Duke Nukem 3D on Switch? The developers done an amazing job bringing those up to date without taking anything away from the look of the originals.Doom 64 really impressed me. It shows 64 games can still look and feel fresh with a little work.

@OorWullie Sounds pretty good then? I really enjoyed Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Dishonored was pretty good too.

Forsaken Remastered?! Bring that to Switch too please!

We will remain patient for Blade Runner!

This is a huge piece of gaming history and needs to be preserved. I would love to own a copy just for the sake of the story behind it.

Loved this on PC the first time around.
Sounds like a bit of an undertaking having to reverse engineer it all, but I hope they manage it.

I want NightDive to remake BattleTanx Global Assault.

Game is a classic. Will support this effort when it goes to market.

If they ever want to restore Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat...

Again we have proof that anything touched by EA turns into chaos/*****.

@shgamer It's a light RPG/immersive sim set on a space ship. It's closest modern equivalents are probably the Bioshock and Deus Ex games.

@Homerbert Yeah, I kind of thought so. And I prefer this approach over Fallout or Elder Scrolls. They're also good, but a bit too "heavy" RPG-wise for my taste.

@Darlinfan Thanks for the info. Sounds like just my kind of game.

I can't get enough of the original Doom games on Switch and recently played through Duke Nukem 3D and loved every minute of it. I've been hoping for Hexen to come to Switch, I've never played it before and it looks superb. Strife I had never heard of until the other day, so that's a nice surprise. The classic 90's FPS' are as fun today as they were back then.

I'll watch that review later, cheers.

@shgamer Yeah I'm the exact same. I have no interest at in proper RPGs, but my favourite genre is a FPS with a bit of exploration, looting and ability crafting. Its one of the few genres the switch is lacking in. I loved the Bioshocks,
Dishonored, Deus Ex, Prey, etc.

Now that the original game is fully supported by SCUMMVM there is certainly hope that this team can sort out how to make the remaster work. Personally I'd love to see a way for games that work on SCUMMVM to easily be ported. Soo many games that need to be on Switch there lol.
