Dev Specializing in Remastering FPS Games Wants to Revive Classic Xbox 360, PS3 Title
Nightdive Studios, a developer known for remastering classic FPS games, has expressed interest in reviving The Darkness, a popular title released for Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2007.
The Darkness is a dark fantasy first-person shooter game developed by Digital Extremes and published by 2K Games. The game is based on the comic book series of the same name by Top Cow Productions. The Darkness tells the story of Jackie Estacado, a mob enforcer who inherits the powers of the Darkness, a malevolent force that grants him superhuman strength, shadow tentacles, and the ability to control darkness.
The game was a critical and commercial success, and was praised for its dark atmosphere, gruesome violence, and unique gameplay. However, it has not been ported to modern platforms, and is currently only playable on Xbox 360 and PS3.
Nightdive Studios is a good fit for the project, as they have a proven track record of remastering classic FPS games. The studio has previously remastered System Shock: Enhanced Edition, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Blood: Fresh Supply, and Quake 2. Their work has been praised for its faithfulness to the original games while also improving the graphics and performance.
If Nightdive Studios does remaster The Darkness, it would be a great opportunity to introduce the game to a new generation of players. The game is a cult classic that deserves to be played by more people.
Here are some of the things that Nightdive Studios could do to improve the remaster of The Darkness:
- Improve the graphics and textures.
- Update the controls to make them more modern.
- Add new features, such as a photo mode or a challenge mode.
- Port the game to modern platforms, such as PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
If done right, a remaster of The Darkness could be a successful game that would please fans of the original and introduce the game to a new audience.
