The only reason why the UAC scientist's completely bananas research got far enough to tear open a portal into Hell is because the union makes it so loving hard to fire the shitheads. The moment the top brass wanted to shut down the experiments for, y'know, "inhumane genetic alteration" and "evisceration at the hands of literal biblical demons" they just threatened to go to HR.

How many Nightdive games can I buy based on nostalgia alone? I remember playing this game a bunch with my cousin on the N64, did it also use the same engine as Turok?

At the very least, they should make it that game devs can get paid for working overtime (don't know if that necessarily comes with unionizing). If that happened, crunch time would disappear.

This is really creepy looking and doesn't suffer from the standard problems that prerendered 3D characters suffer from (i.e. it isn't way too shiny for no reason) so I'd definitely like to see it finished and in action.

The materials are deliberately really simple to try and imitate the early CG of the era. It's hard to pull off, but it works!

No but the Turok studio did handle the N64 which I believe had a completely different set of levels.

Looking at that tweet, Kaiser said this version is a mix of PC and N64 stuff which seems like an odd decision... isn't there already a direct source port of the PC version out there?

The N64 version has different levels, IIRC, which I think Kaiser plans on editing/remixing for the PC's faster pace. Kaiser likes to take the best bits from each version of the game where possible (for example, a bunch of assets in the original PC Turok 2 were downgraded/bugged/hosed up in some way, and the remaster replaced these with the N64 ones).

They can't be ported as-is due to the versions not being directly compatible. Console ports those days usually retooled a lot of the code from the PC versions, and as a consequence things just don't translate between the versions quite the way one would expect.

I definitely do recall the stages being wildly different between the two versions, though. The PC ones seemed more point-A-to-point-B, while the N64 ones felt more like arena multiplayer matches, from my recollection.

If a massive wage fixing scandal didn't make s Google, Intel and whoever the gently caress else unionize nothing in the planet will ever make game devs unionize.

They will unionize when they reinvent the union through some sort of app. Something with a name like RateMyBiz I suppose, where they'll complain about their working conditions, crunchtime, and so on. From this sharing will come solidarity hashtags, and then events like strikes and finally collective bargaining. But they'll never call it a union.
