The Thing Remastered: A Chilling Shooter for a New Generation

A Classic Revived

Night Dive Studios has done it again, this time bringing back a beloved cult classic from the PS2 era: The Thing. Released in 2002, this third-person shooter may not have had the most impressive combat, but it more than made up for it with its eerie atmosphere and innovative AI/squad system. This system forced you to be cautious around your NPC allies, as they could easily turn against you, assuming you were a deadly alien in disguise.

A Tense and Suspenseful Experience

The original game’s tense atmosphere was largely due to this unique system, which made every moment feel like a thrilling ride. As you navigated the arctic base from the movie, you had to constantly question the intentions of your squad mates. Were they scared, angry, or were they actually the alien in disguise? This uncertainty created a sense of dread that kept you on the edge of your seat.

A Modern Revamp

The Thing Remastered has cleaned up the UI and textures, making this chilling shooter easily playable on modern consoles. With its new 4K resolution and support for PS5, a whole new generation of gamers can experience the thrill and terror of The Thing.
