Strife: Veteran Edition Shoots To Switch And Nightdive Discounts Its Turok Remasters

Huh looks like a Well I forgot what to call it.

I'm interested in this one, as well as the first Turok. I did get Turok 2 a year ago, but I wasn't able to get into it. My complaints aren't original: the big maps are too big, like everyone always says. But I've heard the original Turok is better in this regard, both here and on Digital Foundry Retro, so I want to give it a try.

I've always wanted to play this, but I'm unsure if Switch will be my system of choice for it, seeing how poorly most of the gyro-aiming on the Switch ports work. :-/

Never heard of the game until a few days ago. But it certainly looks interesting to me.

Never head of this before but it looks really intriguing and I do dig the artstyle a lot, I think I may just take the plunge on this one.

Definitely gonna buy this. Mutagenic is fun to say.

@DegenerateStar Just wanted to comment about your pic. I love Blue Oyster Cult, and even their new album is amazing!

@VR32X They are by far my favorite band of all time! I’m really enjoying the new album too. I highly recommend seeing them live if you haven’t.

Is this the late 1990s PC game?

I'm really curious to try Strife out. Never knew about it back when it came out.

Wow! I own an original copy of this game and have the newer release from Nightdive on Steam, but for that price I think I'll pick it up on Switch as well.
For anyone wondering, this game is Doom with a full story and rpg elements. It CAN be confusing at times on where to go and what you need to do (sort of Metroidvania in that sense, you need an item to proceed one place, but also plenty of dead ends)
I've always looked at it as a hidden gem from the time. Much like the original System Shock.

Good stuff, reminds me I still need to play this game had it on my steam library for time

Is nightdives remaster of forsaken on switch? If not it should be since it was on the n64

I love 90s and early 2000s shooters. Definitely getting this.

Really hope Nightdive brings over the System Shock games to Switch.

Doesn’t seem to be on uk site 😉

This looks good. I never played it but I'm a bit hesitant without a review. Wish they'd release Unreal and some of the arena shooters from the late 90s early 00s.

@Darlinfan
Oh, good choice! I had forgotten about that game. Glad to see so many of these get a second chance. Hopefully Chasm is on their list!

@Doktor-Mandrake Oh man, I'll always remember Forsaken for that box cover art.

I bought Strife from a computer fair with my pocket money back in the 90s, me and my brother loved it without realising quite how good it was! Looking back now it stands leagues above its contemporaries and well ahead of its time. Multiple endings with an intriguing story, my fondest memories of playing this (as a boundary pushing child) seem to be of trying to killing the villagers with poison tipped arrows without the guards noticing!

I kinda wish these remasters were graphical upgrades as well.

now bring us a Turok 3 remaster

There are no Turok discounts on Eshop in any region.....?

@Darlinfan woah! I used to have a floppy disk demo of Chasm! I've been looking for any record of it online for years but couldn't find anything about the game, all I remembered was that it was a Doom style game. The reason I couldn't find any information online was because I didn't know it had the subtitle "the rift" until your comment so cheers! any searches I made for it just came up with a more recent game called chasm. I don't think the subtitle was on the disk label, it just said chasm in big capital letters

I'm a pretty nostalgic dude, but that 90s fps style just doesn't do it for me any more. To each their own I guess.

@RodrigoCard Maybe in the future but they are currently working on Shadow man remaster. Which is a really good game if they manage to implement a proper working control scheme.

@Rypopo I really like Doom II, and Duke Nukem 3D, never been big on quake but played some Quake 2.
Modern shooters can be so tame compared the ones from back then.

I played this as a teen back on PC. It was interesting and fun but not the most straightforward game. I remember it was strange because it ran on the Doom engine at a time when everything was going full 3D.

Can confirm that this game and the Turok games are not currently discounted, in NA at least.

@Darlinfan nice one cheers, I'll be sure to check it out! I wonder what other pc classics will be there...

@jcboyer515
Admittedly, I have not played those games.
The ones I have taken issue with are Duke Nukem 3D and Splatoon 2.

I don't get enough, if any, auto-turn at the extremes. This means I can't turn left by pointing left, without turning exactly the same amount back again upon aiming back to the center.

I had heard from others that this sort of issue was common among most shooters with gyro-aiming on Switch, but I am all ears if that isn't the case. Particularly the Doom games I'd love to play again

@Bermanator Turok 2 is propably the game with the biggest 'graphical upgrades' as it has motion blur, screens space reflections and god rays added to the game.

@khululy Look at System Shock. That shows what they're capable of. Yes; I am aware that it is a remake from the ground up, but that shows they're even more than capable.

I would love if these guys did a remaster of BattleTanx Global Assault, as it really could use it. Just imagine. 60fps, no fog, perhaps better models they can use from World Destruction League (PS2 spiritual successor to BattleTanx), better quality sounds (along with maybe some new ones), remastered soundtrack (along with the Playstation and N64 ones) and aim assist (aiming is not easy in BattleTanx). Online multiplayer would surely be a great addition! Rights shouldn't be an issue, as 3DO has been dead for over a decade.

@Bermanator That is true they are capable but the System shock is their biggest passion project and they are also working on Shadow Man and trying to work with Blade runner so I hope they don't sprad themselves too thin.
Their engine for N64 remakes is also self made but I do feel that a lot of games should be preserved in their original state. When you have to remake a game that much it's propably easier to make a spiritual succesor

@jcboyer515 @dartmonkey
nope nothing yet, if it goes live on thursday and runs till 31st it will be a really short sale.

Still no discount on Eshop.
Did NintendoLife made a false report, gettin our hopes up.

It seems to be an issue on the part of the Eshop

I hope this helps people who are looking forward to this discount.

@jcboyer515
For me, the issue is generally that the controls are designed for gyro to only assist the right-hand analog stick, rather than replcae it entirely.
It's not just looking left, but also up, down or any other direction, where aiming back to the screen will just put me right back where I started. Unless I were to specifically turn with the stick as well, making the gyro-aiming only an assistant for aiming more precisely.

The discount is now live on EU shop people!!

@khululy thanks for the info!
