Silent Hill 2 remake, Fallout: London, Broken Sword Reforged, Gothic remake and other 'in the news' stuff
Hi and thank you for staying around folks.
Had some hellish times lately, hence the pause. In the meantime many important things have happened, so here's kind of a digest.
Silent Hill 2 remake arrives early in October on PC and PS5. Already badly, if unreasonably, maligned. Graphically looks supreme, though. Pre-purchase is open on Steam:
Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars, the 'Reforged' original game of the series is announced with an uncertain date. 'Reforged' word gives some displeasing references, but screenshots make it look promising, to say the least.
Fallout 4 received a 'next-gen' update that strongly improved its graphics (and lobbed the system requirements through the roof too).
Now there is the next big thing arriving: Fallout: London - a DLC-sized mod that takes players to the remains of UK capital. The mod can be already claimed at GOG, and there are big time implications, as GOG has never hosted mods before. But plans to do so from now on.
Heavy in the works is Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest, the remake (well, sort of) of 1994 classic adventure game. It looks like the devs decided to stick to very-low-poly, heavily stylized graphics. A lot of exploration over the re-imagined environment is promised. The game's out this Autumn on 'all major platforms'.
Dunno… To me this graphics looks even inferior to that of utterly plastic original.
It appears that the classic Wing Commander 1 is being remade in Unity as Wing Leader. The developer Howard Day is showcasing his progress at Twitter: 🔸https://bit.ly/3WzJuu5
...and WCnews:
Unreal 5-based remake of Piranha Bytes classic ARPG Gothic is in the works slated for release later this year.
Arch-Vile, the developer of fancy Soviet-themed GZDoom mods has finished his new The Experiment II mapset:
So… relevant these days.
Some of these will be covered soon in greater detail. Stay tuned! And don’t forget to
