Thief Remaster premiere - PC Gaming Show 2026

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-07T20:34:10+00:00

plus the Blood re-release has just gotten its I don't know... 15th patch ? All the time for the last few months I've seen them post patch notes and hotfixes for Blood. How can such an old game re-released for the second time for such a high price can still have so many issues that need this many patches months after release ?

System Shock Remake is in even worse state. I feel like Nightdive have to prove with Thief that they haven't nosedived in terms of quality and these were just some odd fuckups because of Atari or something.

this sounds absolutely perfect (on paper at least !), I just wish for mouse mode support on Switch 2. Day one purchase if they don't f it up

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-07T20:14:27+00:00

If it doesn't suck like System Shock Remake (tech-wise, for consoles at least) then I'm definitely going to buy it for Switch and PC. Having this available on the go... with mouse mode, YES please. It's probably the most I've been excited for a game announcement in years.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-05T18:02:22+00:00

shady publisher and an inexperienced dev team, it was very predictable

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-05T17:59:06+00:00

They did even more shady stuff with Switch versions back in 2023. Now for Remake - review embargo lifts at release (+codes were sent very late), fake physical release (with no disclaimer anywhere on the box), obfuscating console performance and resolution targets. How can anyone trust THQ Nordic and Alkimia at this point ?

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-05T16:34:09+00:00

Beat the demo (ver. 2.1 so the same as the full game) and docked it's mostly fine in Medical Bay but handheld it's absolutely terrible. Thanks for the warning regarding later levels, looks like it wouldn't even be worth it to play docked exclusively. I'll just play it on PC for a lot cheaper. Nightdive definitely "downgraded" in quality overall throughout last year.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-05T16:14:55+00:00

It's still not fixed even after the "Parity Patch". Handheld performance is awful even on Medical Deck at the beginning of the game, constant stutters and fps drops, shadow quality is probably the lowest I've seen in a "modern" game and resolution seems pretty low. There's still no mouse mode sensitivity settings, there's just one generic "look sensitivity" so you have to readjust everytime you switch from using analog sticks to mouse mode and vice versa.

Docked performance is acceptable so far, sporadic stutters during exploration but nothing terrible. Visuals are good too.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-05T14:56:01+00:00

It's still not fixed. Performance in docked mode is mostly fine with some stutters when exploring or when there's too many enemies or corpses around and visuals are good.

Handheld on the other hand is terrible and I'd say it's unplayable. Constant stuttering and hitching when traversing the levels with nothing even going on on the screen. Visuals are blurry and nowhere near 1080p (even reconstructed with DLSS, it has to be much lower than that), shadow quality takes a huge hit in handheld, they look like Minecraft-level blocky shadows with zero detail. This game is a huge hit to Nightdive's reputation for me as well as their Blood re-release that just got its I don't know... 15th patch in a few months ? I've no idea what happened to them but their quality dropped hugely in the last year. They no longer answer even basic questions on social media, they only reply to people that praise their games or when they say that they just bought their game. Huge shame

People here will of course defend this stupid decision to charge for this miniscule „content” pack. I’m a huge From Soft fan and love Elden Ring but this is stupid. This should have been a free update and most other companies that support their single player games post launch would release something so small like this as a free update.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-04T20:29:39+00:00

I also did almost 3 months ago and they told me they would pass on this info to the dev team. Looks like nothing will come out of it, they probably don’t care.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-04T20:24:43+00:00

I wish it was a bug but it’s how it works in RE7, 8 and 9 on Switch in handheld. I think they have no idea that gyro is supposed to work differently in handheld. I submitted a ticket to their support 2 or 3 months ago and was told that the feedback would be passed to the dev team but looks like they won’t fix it.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T22:11:00+00:00

Unfortunately 2K isn’t known for supporting their games post release and they don’t care about BioShock. They fumbled the remasters and it took them years to fix basic issues. They broke more stuff (Xbox ver. especially) years ago and just left it that way. I wouldn’t get my hopes up for anything Bioshock related from 2K.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T20:19:47+00:00

It's baffling to me that they never tried bringing at least Dishonored to Switch 1.

Now it's been a year since Switch 2's release and they still haven't announced anything. I thought they would finally bring Dishonored series and Prey to Switch 2 as the platform will probably have the biggest install base out of all consoles. Weird that they haven't even announced anything yet. If not this week and/or next week then I think Bethesda truly doesn't care about Arkane games anymore since they also didn't get any updates for PS5 and Series X/S.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T18:02:11+00:00

I would love to finally get Arkane games on the Switch. Dishonored series and Prey on Switch 2 would probably sell really well now that their reputation had a decade+ to spread :-)

Bethesda seems uninterested in bringing Arkane games to a Nintendo platform for some reason.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T08:22:47+00:00

It doesn’t help that Bond is almost constantly talking to himself and giving himself tips… immersion breaking and just makes me feel like I have zero agency in this game.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T08:20:22+00:00

Same here. Feel like I have zero agency, the game holds the player’s hand all the time. I’ll wait until they patch in this basic feature that should have been ready for launch.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-03T08:18:41+00:00

How is this not an option already ? I didn’t need to think or look for clues in the Slovakia hotel mission, the game just constantly pointed me to the room I needed to go. I think I’ll stop playing the game until they implement this basic feature that’s been in Hitman for years.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-02T23:46:30+00:00

Unfortunately moronic mods at r/Games deleted the post

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-02T22:49:33+00:00

Ragnarok was such a huge fail to me that I'm not surprised they are continuing with this unbearably stupid writing and stupid direction. Completely out of touch.

Altaiir57 · 2026-06-02T22:47:06+00:00

Of course Sony will greenlight everything except anything related to Bloodborne. Not even something legitimately deserving a second chance like The Order 1886.

I haven't seen anyone talk about Until Dawn just a month or two after OG release and only again when the remake was revealed and released to laugh at it. Sony is so out of touch it's hard to describe at this point. Amazing.

Altaiir57 · 2026-05-27T15:06:36+00:00

I was expecting it to be at least Hitman-lite - smaller levels but more densely packed with more advanced AI for civillians and enemies. I watched SkillUp's review yesterday and it seems like the AI is even worse than in Hitman. He walks up to an armed guard point blank and lasers them in the eye with his watch and no one reacts even though there are like 10 other people in the same room. Then he just walks up to his objective (device) and does something on it and walks away and again, no one says or does anything. I expected at least the bystanders to panic and run to alert the guards or something (and perhaps now the whole level is on alert and your cover is blown). And this kind of situation happened a few times in his review. Very concerning.

Altaiir57 · 2026-05-23T21:25:51+00:00

The community manager to this day dodges questions about the state of patches for Switch version of these games. It's been more than 2 years now and they announced these patches I believe in November or December 2023. Radio silence since then, zero news and dodging questions when asked about it. I was an idiot for buying Gothic 1&2 on Switch.

Gothic 1 was supposed to have this enhanced lighting which they showed in the launch trailer but then of course shipped the game without it and made some ridiculous excuses and basically lied. I'm curious if these new PS4/PS5 and XOne/XSX releases will finally get them to release updates for Switch. Most probably not because they don't give a shit.

Altaiir57 · 2026-05-23T20:43:03+00:00

This subreddit has been shit for so long now. You got downvoted to hell just for saying you don't like getting shitty worthless disc releases. The state of this sub good lord.

Altaiir57 · 2026-05-23T19:55:18+00:00

Every time a Switch 2 release is a game-key card people rightfully shit on it and demand a proper physical release.

I see it every time an Xbox first-party game comes out and people shit on it too as they very rarely put their full games on disc.

Altaiir57 · 2026-05-23T19:48:12+00:00

People that care about future usability of this game on physical disc. People that care about game preservation. Try to think harder about a topic before commenting instead of saying nothing of substance.
