Games on his wish list, decide on your own what this means:

   Blade Runner    
    Discworld games
    Doom 64

Night Dive previously shared they were looking at 3 Acclaim games called Forsaken, D and Machines Wired for War.

The status on Titanic: Adventure of out Time is pretty the same as last time Stephen was on Fragments of Silicon. It’s a difficult project and there are some issues, however it is being tinkered with and Night Dive does want to release it.

Night Dive has had discussions about Turok Rage Wars and Turok 3 but they are not scheduled to work on any of these at the moment. However the current response they are getting with Turok games suggests it would be in their best interest to do so.

They have been approached about Turok 2008 and it’s possible but there is nothing to discuss or announce.

There was a wishlist of things that the devs wanted to do on Turok that they couldn’t do that they hope to include in Turok 2, including:

   Updating 3D models
    Providing new content

There might possibly be new content or expansions for Turok 1. This idea is up in the air but is being discussed internally.

New content for old games is big right now (ala Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear) and Stephen discusses how they have level editors for the Turok games and they are in a position to create new content.

He mentions System Shock Remastered and says what’s to keep us from adding a new level to Citadel Station? What if after System Shock Remastered they released an expansion?

Night Dive has brought on some very specific personnel to update Turok 2 to the modern age. While not exactly a challenge, one of the things they are focused on is multiplayer mode. They may add different types of multiplayer, but the original Turok 2 multiplayer modes will be there.

The Kickstarter campaign will be in 2016 but no other specifics are being offered right now.

When asked if System Shock Remastered will be a 1:1 experience compared to the original game, Stephen said they are striving to make the original System Shock experience as authentic as possible.

The goal is to expand certain sections for new players but remain true to the overall atmosphere and story of the original game for the fans.

The few negative responses have been along the lines of people wondering why the game is being developed in Unity, and also those who disagree with the original music soundtrack not being used.

The music issue has been the main contention. Stephen feels the original music doesn’t represent the tone of the game accurately. They want to make a horror / sci-fi / cyberpunk experience and the original music doesn’t capture that.

Night Dive is approaching System Shock Remastered from a multi-platform perspective.

Their first priority and love is to make a perfect PC version of the game.

There are also plans to release a version for Xbox One.

The PC version will not be developed from a “dumbed down” console version. However you play on the PC, whether you use a controller or not, it will be the same experience. Mouse and keyboard will be natively developed for.

Sur le plan purement technique, le Rift propose une expérience satisfaisante mais loin d’être parfaite. La conception du casque est bonne, de la répartition du poids aux écouteurs intégrés, mais ce premier contact très agréable est suivi d’un bilan mitigé une fois les premiers jeux lancés. Car si le capteur et les différents gyroscopes/accéléromètres intégrés répondent au doigt et à l’oeil pour une immersion au poil et des sessions longues dans les jeux qui s’y prêtent, c’est bien la définition de la dalle OLED qui pose encore problème. Certains titres s’en sortent beaucoup mieux que d’autres, mais la grille de pixels est encore là, souvent visible, comme un rappel que ce CV1 n’est que le prologue de l’histoire que cherche à écrire Oculus. De jolis plâtres que tous les joueurs n’accepteront certainement pas d’essuyer, surtout pour la modique somme de 700€, assortie de l’éventuel upgrade/achat d’une configuration PC. En attendant les contrôleurs Touch et une éventuelle CV2, l’avenir de cette première mouture appartient désormais aux développeurs, et à leur capacité à créer en connaissance des contraintes. En espérant que ces derniers fassent le choix du peuple en partant vendre leurs jeux autre part que sur la boutique officielle du Rift : les prix y sont parfois prohibitifs, l’indice de confort pré-achat n’a pas forcément de sens et la plate-forme refuse en bloc les demandes de remboursement en cas d’expérience trop intense pour nos petits corps de lâches.
