As far as I know most of the Nightdive team don't do anything meaningful when developing the game remaster. It is a one man show with the engine itself and one or two who get involved with stuff like level design but that was years ago and they were still doing their Systemshock remake.

Seems pointless since Thief already has gorillion texture packs, its one if the most supported old games out there. You know what game would actually benefit from a remaster? Deadly Shadows. The original was castrated to fit the console requirements and had some control issues. I'd love to have a remaster that has seamless city hub and seamless levels, maybe even blending the two in one big open world thing.

>>12620740 Normalfags wont consider playing the game unless its a remaster, so thats the point i guess.

>>12620740 It's mainly for those who want to play Thief on consoles
>>12620745 I don't think normalfags would have patience for something like Thief, that's probably why the reboot flopped

>>12620756 I'm sure that's very true. Their thief remaster will probably also sell better on consoles. But that's besides the point.

Zoomers ain't making it past Thieves Guild. Or is it Dark Project levels only?

the one thing thief could use is a best of both worlds campaign with dark project missions, lost city, and the smattering of gold enhancements. currently that doesn't really exist in a straightforward form.

>"""night""""""dive""" >"""re""""""""""make""""""" They're just gonna make a bad HD texture pack with AI upscale and patch the engine to render in 720p, and every dumbfuck switchtendie who is scared to open a config file in windows or install mods (if they aren't entirely phonefags who don't even have a PC, is going to lap it up, and then we'll get a new generation of shitty youtube video essays about thief with 0 insight made by people who have never played the actual game.
>>12620802 Hey man, if you don't watch youtube videos that's great, but I can't play retro shit while I'm cooking spaghetti, so unfortunately, I do.

>>12620806 The real problem is these remakes are usually bad, and the second one comes out, any chance of Gen Alpha or Millenial Tendies playing the original game flies out the window, but of course they will blather on about them as if they are an expert. >>12620812 Gmanlives is just a clickbaiter.

>>12620825 Not only that. The original had great joystick support. With a little help from any joy2key/steaminput program and thief has the best fake controller support i have ever played.
>>12621078 Obviously I won't play it, I haven't played anything that was released in the last like 15 years, including remasters But every discussion about thief from now on will be about this remake and not the actual game so thief threads might as well be completely dead now. Obviously you already know this and just want to defend the hecking wholesome nightdive because you zoomers can't survive without worshiping brands

>>12621097 >But every discussion about thief from now on will be about this remake and not the actual game no it won't. there's been plenty of discussion about the OG resident evil games here since all the remakes have dropped (and continue to drop). stop crying and trying to invent problems that don't exist anywhere but your head.
>>12620691 They're parasites. Look at this shit, look at the asset quality, the shameless laziness of how it's all slapped together. This is not a remaster, this is a bunch of hacks putting in a purely symbolic amount of effort to produce something that loosely qualifies as a new product to sell.
