Nightdive’s ‘The Thing’ remaster is available right now


Nightdive Studios surprise-released a remaster of the 2002 game The Thing, updating the third-person shooter with 4K visuals and new animations.

With The Thing Remastered, Nightdive is carrying over the original’s core mechanics and updating the visuals and engine to run on modern consoles. Now you can play in 4K at up to 120 fps, with improved “character models, textures, and animations,” according to Nightdive’s announcement, and “advanced 3D rendering for updated lighting and atmospheric effects.” The game also includes trophies and achievements on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, if you’re looking for that, too. The studio was formed in 2012 to make System Shock 2 playable on modern PCs, but has worked on everything from the Turok games to Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition, since then.
